Polyester production by halophilic and halotolerant bacterial strains obtained from mangrove soil samples located in Northern Vietnam

Abstract: This research article reports halophilic and halotolerant bacteria isolated from mangrove forests located in Northern Vietnam. Several of these bacteria were able to synthesize polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). PHAs are polyesters stored by microorganisms under the presence of considerable amounts of a carbon source and deficiency of other essential nutrient such as nitrogen or phosphorous. Mangrove forests in Northern Vietnam are saline coastal habitats that have not been microbiologically studied. Mangrove ecosy… Show more

“…Maximum CDW of 6.37 g/l, P(3HB-co-3HV) content of 43.1 wt% and P(3HB-co-3HV) concentration of 2.75 g/l were obtained by Yangia after 60 h of cultivation. The results obtained from this experiment (when molasses was used as carbon source) are comparable with those of the previous report (when pure sugars, such as glucose, sucrose, fructose or glycerol as carbon substrate) [16], suggesting that molasses can be a good carbon substrate for P(3HB-co-3HV) production and the growth of Yangia sp. ND199.…”

“…Among them, strain Yangia sp. ND199 were found to synthesize the copolymer P(3HB-co-3BV) when grown on glucose or sucrose as carbon source [15,16]. In the present work, we undertaken to find strategies for improving the volumetric productivity of P(3HB-co-3HV) by Yangia sp.…”

“…The advantage of using of halophilic microorganisms in PHA production systems is related to their ability to grow optimally at high salt concentrations. At determined concentrations of salt, the growth of nonhalophilic microorganisms is prevented, hence allowing a process without strict sterile conditions and reducing the inherent costs, such as the costs of the energy required for sterilizing the equipment for fermentation and culture media [22]. Recently, it was reported the production of PHB by moderately halotolerant Halomonas campisalis MCM B-1027, isolated from Lonar Lake, India.…”

“…Halophiles mostly inhabit extreme environments like alkaline salt lakes, hypersaline soda lakes, solar saltern crystallizer ponds, natural brines, salt deposits, and salted foods (Ventosa 2006). However, few explorations have been done worldwide to isolate PHA-producing halophiles from different environmental niches like hypersaline soils of Egypt and mangrove forests of Vietnam (Hezayen et al 2010; Van-Thuoc et al 2012). In India, salt producing multi-pond solar salterns are situated in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal.…”
