The production of poly(hydroxylalkanoates) (PHA) is limited by the high cost feedstock since various biomass wastes look attractive as possible sources for polymer production. originality this present study in biotransformation mixed Chlorella-based substrates into PHAs. synthetic potential Cupriavidus necator B8619 cells was studied during bioconversion algae mixtures with spent immobilized my...

The study addresses the growth of new wild-type strain Cupriavidus necator IBP/SFU-1 and synthesis poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB-co-4HB) on media containing fructose three different precursors 4HB (ε-caprolactone 1,4-butanediol 1,6-hexanediol). It was found that ε-caprolactone is best precursor for P(3HB-co-4HB) copolymers. By varying concentration number doses added into ...

Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) have become promising candidates for replacing the conventional expensive carbon sources used to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Considering inhibitory effect of VFAs at high concentrations and influence VFA mixture composition on bacterial growth PHA production, a thorough investigation different cultivation parameters such as (synthetic waste-derived VFAs) me...

Oxygen supply implies higher production cost and reduction of maximum theoretical yields. Thus, generation fermentation products is more cost-effective. Aiming to find a key piece for the (poly)-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as product, here we characterize an acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, isolated from Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis-enriched mixed culture, showing (kcatNADH/KMNADH)/(kcatNADPH/KMN...
