Schematic representation of experimental set-up of the present study. E. coli biomass is treated with DMC to extract the PHB: the extraction protocol varies on the base of the selected experimental variables (biomass, filter, mixing time). A life cycle assessment of the extraction process based on DMC/ethanol is performed and compared to that of chloroform/hexane extraction. Created with http://www.Biorender.com
