Novel genomic and phenotypic traits of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing bacterium ZZQ-149, the type strain of Halomonas qinghailakensis.

Background: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are optimal potential materials for industrial and medical uses, characterized by exceptional sustainability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. These are primarily from various bacteria and archaea. Bacterial strains with effective PHA formation capabilities and minimal production cost form the foundation for PHA production.
