Molecular identification of polyhydroxyalkanoates-producing bacteria isolated from enriched microbial community.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are especially interesting because of their similar properties to synthetic plastics and their potential use as biodegradable polymers. Many strategies have been employed to effectively and economically produce PHAs, among them a production process based on mixed microbial populations, enriched from activated sludge could be one of the alternative technologies. Defi...
متن کاملIsolation and Molecular Identification of Keratinase-Producing Bacteria from the Sludge of Qeshm Island
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Keratinase is an enzyme commonly used in the production of detergents, cosmetics, drugs, leather, and other industries. Considering the high cost of traditional methods for decomposition of feather, hair, hooves, nails, and wool that contain high levels of keratin, their biodegradation with keratinase-...
متن کاملIsolation of floc-producing bacteria from activated sludge.
Although the activated sludge process for stabilizing liquid organic wastes is primarily a biological process, very little research has been conducted on the pure biological phases of this process. Until the work of Butterfield (1935), activated sludge was considered by some as a physio-chemical process and by others as a bio-chemical process. Butterfield isolated a bacterium, Zoogloea ramigera...
متن کاملCharacterization and Molecular Identification of Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) Producing Bacteria from Activated Sludge
The aim of this study was identification and characterization of highly efficient Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) producing bacteria in activated sludge. Among 74 isolated bacteria, 20 EPS-producing bacteria were obtained from wastewater treatment plant of Bojnourd. EPS extraction was performed using absolute ethanol after glucose-enriched culture. Dry weight, concentration, and the rat...
متن کاملPRODUCTION OF MEDIUM CHAIN LENGTH POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES FROM PALMITIC ACID USING Ralstonia eutropha BY FED BATCH CULTURE
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA’s) are carbon and energy storage compounds which accumulate intracellulary as granules in certain bacteria during unbalanced growth and in the presence of an excess carbon source. PHAs were well studied regarding their promising applications, physical, chemical and biological properties. PHAs are biodegradable, biocompatible, have good material properties, renewable a...
