Microbial production of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates), PHA(MCL) from crude fatty acids mixture was investigated. With ammonium as the growth limiting substrate, fatty acids mixture from saponified palm kernel oil (SPKO) supports good growth and PHA(MCL) production of Pseudomonas puti...
