Bioplastic

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), e.g., po1yhydroxybutyrate (PHB), are synthesized from Acetyl co.A used as precursor, and are used for the synthesis of biodegradable plastics with thermoplastic properties. 

At present, PHAs are produced by bacterial fermentation based on Ralstonia eutropha.

k-selected species

Stable populations adapted to exist at or near the carrying capacity, K

Grow slowly and reach reproductive age late, having to devote much energy to growth and maintenance

K-selected species like a tree grows large and outcompeting  other  species

Such trees have a long-life span and produce seeds repeatedly when mature

These seeds are bigger
