The unnerving price of petroleum will push a major  change from a petroleum based economy to a natural feedstock based economy.  Bestowed with all the essential nutrients necessary for microbial growth and being  the predominant crop in the UK, wheat can be suitable candidate to provide this  renewable feedstock. A process has been developed in the University of Manchester, UK, to convert the essential nutrients  in wheat to a microbially accessible wheat based fermentation feedstock. At the same  time, in response to the increasing concerns over the environment, the objective of this project is to  establish a novel process to produce a biodegradable plastic, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)  from the wheat based fermentation feedstock.The technical feasibility of PHB  production from the wheat based fermentation feedstock, has been demonstrated by the results  presented in this book.
