Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoates(PHAs)as a kind of intracellular energy storage material with high biodegradability and easy processing, are expected to replace petroleum based plastics and have attracted more and more attention in the global bioplastics market. Lignin, as the most abundant natural renewable aromatic polymer on the earth, can be used as a substrate to be converted into monocyclic aromatic compounds such as phenol through microbial degradation, and then synthesize degradable plastic PHAs. In this paper, the microorganisms and related pathways of lignin degradation and transformation to synthesize PHAs are reviewed, and the existing problems and difficulties are described. The research progress on improving the survival efficiency and product performance of PHAs synthesized by lignin degradation and transformation was deeply discussed. At the same time, the challenges faced by the synthesis of PHAs by lignin transformation and the prospects for the future development were put forward.
