yield of autotrophic PHA; in near future, a biological system can be constructed to make use of the resources and attributes which can increase in production of PHA through autotrophic and heterotrophic. Production of PHA using microalgae has many other advantages like industrial compounds, which include pigments, antioxidants, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, polysaccharides, and so on. Additionally, it has been noted that these organisms create a variety of secondary metabolites, poisons, and other bioactive substances that are significant from a pharmacological perspective. The economics of cyanobacterial PHAs would unquestionably be improved by integrating all of these substances under a refining method.
