Eco-friendly biopolymers, polyhydroxybutyrate, have been produced by many kinds of bacteria that possess most important applications in food packaging industries and also in medical field. In the present work, PHB production was economized through the statistical optimization of physical variables. The physical variables chosen for the enhanced production of PHB were incubation period, temperature, pH and inoculums size. The relative rate of production has been studied by understanding the complex interactions of variables using face-centred central composite design. The submerged fermentation with Acinetobacter nosocomialis RR20 produced PHB yield of 5.88 g/L at optimized conditions with a notable value change of sixfold increase in comparison with minimal salt medium and these findings have showed that the designed medium was significant in terms of higher of PHB production.
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.
