Abstract

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) synthesis and accumulationis a mobilizable carbon repository of certain bacteria tothrive the carbon limitation. It is a common carbon- andenergy-storage compound, degrades into its monomer 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) or D-β-hydroxybutyric acid (DBD)with in the cell under the microaerobic condition. A soilbacterial strain accumulating PHB was isolated andidentified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by 16S rRNA genesequencing (NCBI accession number MF062071). The organism was subjected to PHB production under varyingfactors to establish the laboratory scale production withsubstrate preferences of economic choice. Among thesubstrates, wheat bran favored a higher PHB production, 0.9 g/l, compared to corn cob powder and coconut husk. The dry cell biomass was also maximum with thesubstrate, wheat bran. Neutral to near neutral pH (7.0) andan ambient temperature (37°C) showed as ideal underaerobic conditions. The PHB accumulated was extracted,purified and was subjected to FT/IR spectroscopy. A majorpeak apart from other peaks and a strong absorption bandat 1651.83cm-1 corresponding to the C=O thioester bondreveal the functional group which confirm the presence of intracellular PHB.
