Unveiling PHA-storing populations using molecular methods

Abstract: Enrichment of mixed microbial cultures (MMCs) in polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-storing microorganisms must take place to develop a successful PHA production process. Moreover, throughout the operational period of a MMC system, the population needs to be checked in order to understand the changes in the performance that eventually occurred. For these reasons, it is necessary to monitor the population evolution, in order to identify the different groups of microorganisms and relate them with the storage capacity an… Show more

“…Such characterization can contribute towards the development of operational process strategies designed to optimize the structure of the microbial community [21]. Several works that address the microbial characterization of their enrichments already revealed diverse communities that probably resulted from the operational conditions applied and the type of substrate used [15].…”

“…Specific probes for Thauera and Azoarcus genera belonging to Betaproteobacteria and often detected in MMC processes as PHAs-accumulating organisms were also tested [15]. Positive results were obtained for both genera, but only in small amounts, Thauera corresponded to 0.72 ± 0.25%, and Azoarcus to 0.62 ± 0.02%, remaining most of Betaproteobacteria unidentified.…”
