Extraction of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate using chlorinated solvents

Abstract: Recovery of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in three chlorinated solvents with or without acetone pretreatment and degradation of extracted PHB (99% pure) in hot chloroform were studied. When lyophilized Alcaligenes eutrophus biomass was used, the best results were obtained with acetone pretreatment and solvent reflux for 15 min in methylene chloride or chloroform. Recovered PHB had a 95% purity and molecular weights (w) of 1,050,OOO and 930,000 g/mol respectively. Further heating resulted in a serious & loss at … Show more

“…In fact, after thermolysis of the cell membrane, the granules of P(3HB) are released and solubilized, as described for other methods in the literature [32] Differently, chloroform is an aggressive chemical that does not need heating to cause cellular disruption [12] and this is why the P(3HB) standard extraction method can be performed at low temperatures. Nonetheless, it should be noted that the P(3HB) extraction requires, besides refrigeration at 4°C to preserve chain length [33], at least 36 h of contact time between chloroform and the bacterial cells.…”

“…The most routinely used P(3HB) solvents in laboratory scale are chlorinated organic compounds, namely chloroform and dichloromethane [10,17].However, large-scale application of these solvents causes environmental and health concern. Moreover, the process requires high volumes of solvent and anti-solvent for the precipitation [11], increasing the cost of extraction and subsequent solvent recovery.…”

“…O acúmulo intracelular de PHA's foi verificado por análises qualitativas realizadas utilizando-se a técnica de coloração Sudan Black (SHEEHAN & STOREY, 1947). Ao final do cultivo, a suspensão celular obtida foi centrifugada e submetida à extração com clorofórmio pelo método descrito por Ramsay et al (1994), e o polímero obtido foi caracterizado por ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) comparativamente a um padrão de P3HB.…”
