Abstract:Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are environmentally friendly polymers produced by many bacteria under nutrientlimited conditions. However, their commercialization is hindered by production expenses. The present study aimed at cost-effective and efficient production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by Bacillus (B.) cereus isolate CCASU-P83. Through one factor at time optimization study on shake flask, B. cereus CCASU-P83 produced about 50 % polymer per dry weight after 48 hours incubation time. For better evaluatio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
