Poly(beta-hydroxybutyrate) production by a moderate halophile, Halomonas boliviensis LC1
(2006) In Enzyme and Microbial Technology 38(1-2). p.148-154- Abstract
- The moderate halophile Halomonas boliviensis, isolated from a Bolivian saline soil sample, was able to accumulate poly(P-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) when grown under conditions of nutrient limitation and excess carbon source. The concentration of sodium chloride in the medium influenced the cell-growth, -size, and rate of PHB accumulation. Cultivation in shake flasks led to a PHB accumulation of about 54 wt.% with respect to cell dry weight at 4.5% (w/v) NaCl in a medium with butyric acid and sodium acetate as carbon sources. The production of PHB was substantially improved to a maximum value of 88 wt.% during cultivation under controlled conditions of pH and oxygen concentration in a fermentor. The use of glucose and sucrose, respectively, as... (More)

The use of glucose and sucrose, respectively, as carbon source could also lead to the production of PHB at an average level of 55 wt.%. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. (Less)
