The biocompatibility and potential osteoconductive properties of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) in bone was investigated using the rabbit mandible as the animal model. The PHA was produced by a bacteria Pseudomonas putida using saponified palm kernel oil (SPKO) as carbon source....
