Summary Table for Bacteria-Derived Polyesters.

Polymer	Polymer-Accumulating Bacteria	Biomaterial Properties in Biomedical Application	Ref.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates	First isolated from Bacillus megaterium Multiple strains of Bacillus and Pseudomonas, including P. putida and B. aquamaris	Several aspects have been considered, including wound healing patches by promoting angiogenesis in the healing process, bioresorbable sutures, and in drug delivery with a tailorable material degradation rate Useful in scaffold development for tissue engineering applications, which is biocompatible for a number of tissue types by facilitating cell seeding, adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and de novo tissue regeneration.

Polylactic acid	PLA monomeric components being synthesized by bacteria of the order Lactobacillales Genetically modified Escherichia coli	PLA is bioresorbable, allowing the material to naturally disintegrate as the target site is healing Acts as a scaffold for tissue engineering application and bone fixation purposes Prospective drug delivery material due to its tailorable porosity for controlled adsorption and drug release	[298,299,300,301,302,303,304,305,306,307,308,309,310,311,312,313,314,315,316,317,318]
