Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHB) are bio-plastics that are produced by selective microbial species utilizing carbon rich substrates. Anode of microbial fuel cell (MFC) is considered as bioreactor to produce biopolymer from MFC system. In Malaysia, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is one of the major wastewat...
