Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) emerges as a promising biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, addressing environmental concerns associated with non-degradable materials. This comprehensive review encompasses the structural elucidation and properties of PHB compared to conventional synthetic polymers. It delves into various aspects of PHB synthesis, including fermentation methods and optimization techniques. Additionally, it examines diverse PHB-producing strains and their strain-dependent properties, along with exploring microorganisms capable of PHB synthesis across different taxonomic groups. The influence of carbon sources on PHB production and its thermo-mechanical properties is scrutinized, alongside discussions on downstream processes for PHB recovery. Furthermore, the biodegradation mechanisms of PHB under different environmental conditions are elucidated, emphasizing microbial enzymatic pathways and factors influencing biodegradation rates. Applications of PHB in various sectors, such as food packaging, drug delivery systems, the automotive industry, and medical implants, are highlighted for their societal benefits and environmental sustainability. The review concludes with insights into future prospects, emphasizing the need for continued research and innovation to optimize PHB production processes and evaluate sustainability metrics.
