Unsterile and continuous production of polyhydroxybutyrate by Halomonas TD01

Abstract

An unsterile and continuous fermentation process was developed based on a halophilic bacterium termed Halomonas TD01 isolated from a salt lake in Xinjiang, China. The strain reached 80 g/L cell dry weight containing 80% poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) on glucose salt medium during a 56 h fed-batch process. In a 14-day open unsterile and continuous process, the cells grew to an average of 40 g/L cell dry weight containing 60% PHB in the first fermentor with glucose salt medium. Continuous pumping of cultures from the first fermentor to the second fermentor containing the nitrogen-deficient glucose salt medium diluted the cells but allowed them to maintain a PHB level of between 65% and 70% of cell dry weight. Glucose to PHB conversions were between 20% and 30% in the first fermentor and above 50% in the second one. This unsterile and continuous fermentation process opens a new area for reducing the cost in polyhydroxyalkanoates production.
