Abstract:

Waste cooking oil (WCO) is a major pollutant, primarily managed through incineration. The high cell density bioprocess developed here allows for better use of this valuable resource since it allows the conversion of WCO into biodegradable polymer polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). WCO was chemically hydrolysed to give rise to a mixture of fatty acids identical to the fatty acid composition of waste cooking oil. A feed strategy was developed to delay the stationary phase, and therefore achieve higher final biomass and biopolymer (PHA) productivity. In fed batch (pulse feeding) experiments Pseudomonas

Abstract:

Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are promising biodegradable polymers that may alleviate some of the environmental burden of petroleum-derived polymers. The requirements for carbon substrates and energy for bioreactor operations are major factors contributing to the high production costs and environmental impact of PHAs. Improving the process productivity is an important aspect of cost reduction, which has been attempted using a variety of fed-batch, continuous, and semi-continuous bioreactor systems, with variable results. The purpose of this review is to summarize the bioreactor operat

Abstract:

Decaying exponential feeding strategies for the production of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) by Pseudomonas putida KT2440 have been developed as a method of delaying oxygen limitation that is typically responsible for the termination of high cell density aerobic fermentations. Two feeding strategies were evaluated to control the biomass generation rate and consequently control the oxygen uptake rate of the cells. A linear decaying strategy allowed the production of 90 g L–1 dry biomass containing 65% PHA in 31 h with a cumulative productivity of 1.9 g L–1 h–1, while a quadratic

ABSTRACT Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are microbial polyesters that can be used as completely biodegradable polymers, but the high production cost prevents their use in a wide range of applications. RecombinantEscherichia coli strains harboring the Ralstonia eutropha PHA biosynthesis genes have been reported to have several advantages as PHA producers compared with wild-type PHA-producing bacteria. However, the PHA productivity (amount of PHA produced per unit volume per unit time) obtained with these recombinantE. coli strains has been lower than that obtained with the wild-type bacterium Alc

Abstract:

Abstract Competitive polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHAs) production requires progress in microbial strain performance, feedstock selection, downstream processing, and more importantly according to the process design with process kinetics of the microbial growth phase and the phase of product formation. The multistage continuous production in a bioreactor cascade was described for the first time in a continuously operated, flexible five-stage bioreactor cascade that mimics the characteristics involved in the engineering process of tubular plug flow reactors. This process was developed and used for Cupr

Abstract:

Currently, most of household goods are made from polymer or plastic. The polymer manufacturing industry has been relying on fossil fuel-based raw materials which is non-biodegradable. Plastics derived from these non-biodegradable sources will be difficult to degrade in nature, which in turn will pollute the environment and harm the ecosystem. One way to reduce the ecosystem damages caused by plastic made from petroleum-based plastic is to use biodegradable materials as plastic industry raw materials, such as Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA).

Abstract:

Because of availability and inexpensiveness, glycerol can be considered as a suitable raw material for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production with bacterial fermentation. Nevertheless, compared to the production of glucose as a raw precursor, PHA produced from glycerol by Cupriavidus necator was found to produce lower PHA with low bacterial growth rates. According to our study, C. necator was able to synthesize glucose-like intermediates from glycerol via gluconeogenesis. This resulted in a decrease of the cell dry weight and the yield of PHA polymers, especially in the active cell growth phase

Abstract The benefit of biodegradable “green plastics” over established synthetic plastics from petro-chemistry, namely their complete degradation and safe disposal, makes them attractive for use in various fields, including agriculture, food packaging, and the biomedical and pharmaceutical sector. In this context, microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are auspicious biodegradable plastic-like polyesters that are considered to exert less environmental burden if compared to polymers derived from fossil resources.

Abstract:

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable plastic-like materials with versatile properties. Plant oils are excellent carbon sources for a cost-effective PHA production, due to their high carbon content, large availability, and comparatively low prices. Additionally, efficient process development and control is required for competitive PHA production, which can be facilitated by on-line or in-line monitoring devices. To this end, we have evaluated photon density wave (PDW) spectroscopy as a new process analytical technology for Ralstonia eutropha (Cupriavidus necator) H16 plant oil cultiva

The process for the production of biodegradable plastic material (polyhydroxyalkanoates, PHAs) from microbial cells by mixed-bacterial cultivation using readily available waste (renewable resources) is the main consideration nowadays. These observations have shown impressive results typically under high carbon fraction, COD/N and COD/P (usually described as nutrient-limiting conditions) and warmest temperature (moderate condition). Therefore, the aim of this work is predominantly to select mixed cultures under high storage responded by cultivation on a substrate – non limited in a single batch

Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) has generated great interest as building blocks for bioplastic production. Their production using mixed microbial cultures represents an interesting alternative, since it enables the use of organic wastes as a carbon source. Feast/famine strategy is a common way to promote selection of microorganisms with PHA accumulation capacity. However, when using waste sources, changes in substrate concentration are expected, that may affect performance and efficiency of the process.

This sheltered situation can increase ethylene production, giving rise to a triple response (inhibits stem lengthening, thickening of the stem, and the appearance of the habit of making hooks that cause the stem to grow horizontally or horizontally) that could affect plant growth and development. The aim of this study was to look for varieties of snaps (Phaseolus vulgaris) that were less sensitive to the increasing of ethylene

Our results confirmed that the adequate supply of nitrogen and phosphorus during culture in 250-ml shake flasks did not stimulate the synthesis of PHAs. The results indicate that the PHA content of cells was higher under a phosphorus-limiting environment compared to nitrogen starvation.
