Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates from fermented sugar cane molasses by a mixed culture enriched in glycogen accumulating organisms

Date and their processing byproducts as substrates for bioactive compounds production

“…The production cost of biopolymers is a crucial parameter compared with that of chemical synthetic non-biodegradable plastics (Bengtsson et al 2010). Hitherto, the low cost raw materials, such as date syrup, industrial waste and municipal waste et al, could be significant parameter for reducing the production cost.…”

Synthesis of Poly-(R-hydroxyalkanoates) byCupriavidus necatorATCC 17699 Using Mexican Avocado(Persea americana)Oil as a Carbon Source

“…The presence of 3HV units in the polymer and even the small quantities of other 3HA improved the general thermal properties of PHA. Consequently, avocado oil as the substrate for PHA synthesis promoted the production of a more versatile material than what was obtained with pure PHB [43,44], as demonstrated by DSC, FTIR, and GC analysis.…”

Exploring biodegradable polymer production from marine microbes

“…A wide range of industrial by-products has been used for PHAs production like agricultural, household waste materials, sugars, lignocellulosic raw materials, fats, and oils. Among those, extensive research is focused on wastes, sucrose [108], starch [109], glucose [110][111][112], soy molasses and hydrolysed soy [113,114], sugar cane molasses [115][116][117], waste rapeseed oil [118,119], sunflower meal hydrolysates [120], glycerol [121,122], rice bran and corn starch [74], lard oil, butter oil, and coconut oil [123], palm oil and its products [124], sugar beet molasses [125], spent palm oil [126], cellulose and cellulose hydrolysates [127], sugarcane bagasse hydrolysates [128,129], casein hydrolysate [130], rapeseed meal hydrolysates [131], triacylglycerides (TAG) [132], sugarcane liquor [133], acetic acid [111,134], corn steep liquor [135], fish peptone medium [136], galactose, mannose and rhamnose [137], cheese whey and hydrolysed whey [115,138,139], urea [117], oil [124], wheat based biorefinery [140,141], xylose [128], arabinose …”
