          Abstract

          ABSTRACT This study demonstrates that using beeswax hydrolyzates (Hw), short- or medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (scl-mcl-PHA) can be obtained by a three stages fed-batch fermentation system. The fed batch fermentations were conducted with a strain of Cupriavidus necator. Glucose and ammonium sulphate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, were used in a first and second culture stages. In the third stage (production of scl-mcl-PHA) a fresh medium was fed with Hw as a carbon source at a concentration of 5 g/L, obtaining 8.91 g/L of intracellular scl-mcl-PHA and 13.64 g/L of biomass, which resulted in 65.3 % w/w of scl-mcl-PHA. Using nuclear magnetic resonance, the presence of scl and mcl monomers, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 3-hydroxydecanoate (3HD) was determined. The percentage of comonomer incorporation different to 3HB was 4.6 mol %. A glass transition temperature (Tg) of -50 ºC and a melting temperature (Tm) of 79.8 ºC were determined for the scl-mcl-PHA (3HB-co-3HDD).

          RESUMEN Este estudio demuestra que mediante el uso de hidrolizados de cera de abejas (Hw) pueden obtenerse polihidroxialcanoatos de cadena corta o media (scl-mcl-PHA), mediante un sistema de fermentación por lote alimentado de tres etapas. Las fermentaciones por lote alimentado se llevaron a cabo con una cepa de Cupriavidus necator. Se usaron glucosa y sulfato de amonio como fuentes de carbono y nitrógeno, respectivamente, en una primera y segunda etapas de cultivo. En la tercera etapa (producción de scl-mcl-PHA) se alimentó medio fresco con Hw como fuente de carbono a una concentración de 5 g/L, obteniéndose 8.91 g/L de scl-mcl-PHA intracelular y 13.64 g/L de biomasa, con 65.3 % p/p de scl-mcl-PHA. Utilizando resonancia magnética nuclear se determinó la presencia de monómeros de scl y mcl, 3-hidroxibutirato (3HB) y 3-hidroxidecanoato (3HD). El porcentaje de incorporación de comonómeros diferente a 3HB fue de 4.6 % moles. Se determinó una temperatura de transición vıtrea (Tg) de -50 ºC y una temperatura de fusión (Tm) de 79.8 ºC para el scl-mcl-PHA (3HB-co-3HDD).

          Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) with canola oil as carbon source.

          Wautersia eutropha was able to synthesize medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) when canola oil was used as carbon source. W. eutropha was cultivated using fructose and ammonium sulphate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, for growth and inoculum development. The experiments were done in a laboratory scale bioreactor in three stages. Initially, the biomass was adapted in a batch culture. Secondly, a fed-batch was used to increase the cell dry weight and PHA concentration to 4.36 g L(-1) and 0.36 g L(-1), respectively. Finally, after the addition of canola oil as carbon source a final concentration of 18.27 g L(-1) PHA was obtained after 40 h of fermentation. With canola oil as carbon source, the polymer content of the cell dry matter was 90%. The polymer was purified from dried cells and analyzed by FTIR, NMR and DSC using PHB as reference. The polymer produced by W. eutropha from canola oil had four carbon monomers in the structure of the PHA and identified by 1H and 13C NMR analysis as 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV), 3-hydroxyoctanoate (3HO), and 3-hydroxydodecanoate (3HDD).

            Growth and polyhydroxybutyrate production by Ralstonia eutropha in emulsified plant oil medium.

            Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are natural polyesters synthesized by bacteria for carbon and energy storage that also have commercial potential as bioplastics. One promising class of carbon feedstocks for industrial PHA production is plant oils, due to the high carbon content of these compounds. The bacterium Ralstonia eutropha accumulates high levels of PHA and can effectively utilize plant oil. Growth experiments that include plant oil, however, are difficult to conduct in a quantitative and reproducible manner due to the heterogeneity of the two-phase medium. In order to overcome this obstacle, a new culture method was developed in which palm oil was emulsified in growth medium using the glycoprotein gum arabic as the emulsifying agent. Gum arabic did not influence R. eutropha growth and could not be used as a nutrient source by the bacteria. R. eutropha was grown in the emulsified oil medium and PHA production was measured over time. Additionally, an extraction method was developed to monitor oil consumption. The new method described in this study allows quantitative, reproducible R. eutropha experiments to be performed with plant oils. The method may also prove useful for studying growth of different bacteria on plant oils and other hydrophobic carbon sources.
