The present specification generally relates to a method for the oxidative conditioning of a microbial cell wall, and its eventual lysis. In particular, the specification pertains to an oxidative lysis solution and methodology, wherein the selective lysis solution is capable of conditioning and lysing the cell wall of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing microbes, while having a limited effect on the degradation of the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer solids contained therein, thereby allowing for the further high yield recovery, and purification of high molecular weight PHA biopolymer solids.
A method for decreasing the production of foam when adding an oxidizing agent to a cellular biomass, comprising:
