Biosynthetic processes for production of linear proteins, polysaccharides, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are discussed. Processes for converting the linear biopolymers into useful products are described. Techniques and additives for improving the processability of PHAs and potential applications of PHAs are reviewed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 457–483, 2002
