چکیده
INETY TWO local bacterial isolates, from the rhizosphere and ...... soil around the root system of bean (Vicia faba) grown in Kalubia Governorate in Egypt, were bio-prospected for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) accumulation. Three isolates accumulated ≥ 20 % of PHAs, they were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens S48, Bacillus megaterium 7A and B. megaterium UBF19. The tested isolates gave the maximum PHAs content on basal medium containing glucose and ammonium sulfate at C/N ratio of 30/1 after 72 hr at 30C using shake flask culture technique. Two-stage batch were implemented with varying loading levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, inoculated with washed cells. Nitrogen omission of 70 % led to increase the PHAs content by 19 %, 3% and 8.5 % using washed cells of Ps. fluorescens S48, B. megaterium UBF19 and Bacillus megaterium 7A, respectively comparing with batch production on the same medium after 72 hr. The Copolymer poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) [P (HB-co-HV)] content level was increased when valeric/glucose (V/G) was 0.19 mol.mol after 96 hr being 25.97 % and 20.11 % by Ps. fluorescens S48 and B. megaterium UBF19, respectively and reached 23.73 % by B. megaterium 7A at propionic/glucose (P/G) of 0.5 mol.mol. The corresponding highest values of valeric content of copolymer at V/G 3.08 mol.mol were 63 %, 49 % and 45 %, respectively,comparing with other V/G ratios by using GC analysis . Replacing glucose with 2 % corn oil or 1 % soybean oil increased the PHAs content of Ps. fluorescens S48 cells to 54.21 % and 52.12 %, respectively, after 72 hr.

Volatile fatty acids influence on the structure of microbial communities producing PHAs
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) can be produced by microorganisms and are a biodegradable alternative to fossil-fuel based plastics. Currently, the focus is on reducing production costs by exploring alternative substrates for PHAs production, and on producing copolymers which are less brittle than monomers. Accordingly, this study used a substrate consisting of wastewater from waste-glycerol ferme...

Conventional solvent-based methods are still the most practical approaches for recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) polymer from cellular biomass, even though potential alternatives exist, including chemical, mechanical, and enzymatic methods. It is still necessary, however, to avoid dangerous and environmentally unfriendly solvents (e.g., chloroform and dichloromethane) in the polymer recove...

متن کاملSequential feeding of glucose and valerate in a fed-batch culture of Ralstonia eutropha for production of poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) with high 3-hydroxyvalerate fraction.
Several important properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyric-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acids) (P(3HB-co-3HV) depend mainly on the HV unit fraction of the copolymer. Sequential and simultaneous feeding of glucose and valerate were employed to produce P(3HB-co-3HV) in a fed-batch culture of Ralstonia eutropha, and the effects of feeding models on the cell growth, 3HV unit fraction, and copolymer productivity ...
