Short description Volumes 3a, b and 4 focus on polyesters synthesized by bacteria and eukaryotic organisms and all aspects of the biosynthesis and metabolism of these biopolymers as well as the production and isolation are described. In addition, various synthetic polyesters and related polymers synthesized by the chemical industry for the manufacture of biodegradable materials are subject of these volumes.
