EVALUATION OF POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES PRODUCING BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM SOILS WITH WASTES OF Cocos nucifera

Abstract: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polyesters produced and accumulated in prokaryotes as carbon and energy storage materials. These polymers can be used to produce biodegradable plastics. Actually, the industrial production of PHAs for the manufacture of biodegradable plastics has a high production cost due to the use of expensive carbon substrates. An alternative to reduce these costs is the use of wastes from renewable resources. Coconut biomass, which is the most abundant agroindustrial waste in the state of … Show more

“…Furthermore, Guerrero is well known for the production of other products, however the continued use of chemical fertilizers and manures for enhancing soil fertility and crop productivity often results in unexpected harmful environmental effects (Romero-Ramírez et al 2016). The latter include leaching of nitrate into ground water, surface run-off of phosphorus and nitrogen, and eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems.…”
