Conversion of grass biomass into fermentable sugars and its utilization for medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) production by Pseudomonas strains

- First report on sugars derived from grass biomass as substrate for mcl-PHA production.
- Pseudomonas strains utilized grass hydrolysates as a sole carbon and energy source.
- Bacterial strains converted both hexose and pentose sugars to mcl-PHA.
- Growth and PHA yields on hydrolysates were comparable to commercial sugars.
