Possibilities and prospects of bioplastics production from agri-waste using bacterial communities: Finding a silver-lining in waste management
To meet the need of the growing global population, the modern agriculture faces tremendous challenges to produce more food as well as fiber, timber, biofuels, etc.; hence generates more waste.

| description | To meet the need of the growing global population, the modern agriculture faces tremendous challenges to produce more food as well as fiber, timber, biofuels, etc.; hence generates more waste. This continuous growth of agricultural waste (agri-waste) and its management strategies have drawn the attention worldwide because of its severe environmental impacts including air, soil and water pollution. Similarly, growing concerns about the sustainable future have fuelled the development of biopolymers, substances occurring in and/or produced by living organisms, as substitute for different synthetic and harmful polymers, especially petroleum-based plastics. Now, the components of agri-waste offer encouraging opportunities for the production of bioplastics through mechanical and microbial procedures. Even the microbial, both bacterial and fungal, system results in lower energy consumption and better eco-friendly alternatives. The review mainly concentrates on cataloging and understanding the bacterial 'input' in developing bioplastics from diverse agri-waste. Especially, the bacteria like Cupriavidus necator, Chromatium vinosum, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa produce short- and medium-chain length poly(3-hydroxyalkanote) (P3HB) polymers using starch (from corn and potato waste), and cellulose (from sugarcane bagasse, corn husks waste). Similarly, C. necator, and transformant Wautersia eutropha produce P3HB polymer using lipid-based components (such as palm oil waste). Important to note that, the synthesis of these polymers are interconnected with the bacterial general metabolic activities, for example Krebs cycle, glycolysis cycle, β-oxidation, calvin cycle, de novo fatty acid syntheses, etc. Altogether, the agri-waste is reasonably low-cost feed for the production of bioplastics using bacterial communities; and the whole process certainly provide an opportunity towards sustainable waste management strategy. |
