Waste frying oil (WFO) can take a heavy toll on people’ health and the environment; however, they can still be useful in reality if they are appropriately collected and recycled. Specifically, we can take their advantages to create a nutritious carbon source for bacteria growth. In this research, due to a strong desire to enhance the value of such products, Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is employed to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) which is a group of natural biodegradable polyesters synthesized by microorganisms.
