The prospect of oil palm frond (OPF) juice as fermentation feedstock was investigated by taking two bioproducts, i.e. poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), P(3HB) and bioethanol as example. P(3HB) was successfully produced by Cupriavidus necator NCIMB 11599 from OPF juice through fed-batch fermentation with cell...
