Seaweed eating microbes used to manufacture bioplastic

The video discusses Ovalec Tukaology, a sustainable alternative for biopolymer production. It highlights research on cultivating Ovalec Tukaology, also known as C lettuce, and feeding it to the single-cell organism Halloferex Mediterranean. This organism produces a bioplastic polymer called Polyhydroxyl Cannoate (PHA), which is biosynthetic and biodegradable. PHA generates no toxic waste and is fully recyclable into organic waste, making it an environmentally friendly material.
