摘要: The thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8 is able to utilize lactose from whey-based media for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) under nitrogen limitation. T. can both, glucose and galactose, products hydrolysis. When was grown in culture containing 24% (v/v) whey, PHA accumulated up 35% (w/w) its biomass after 24 h cultivation. effect initial phosphate concentration on production also investigated. Using an 50 mM accumulation enhanced. Analysis produced thermophilous revealed a novel heteropolymer consisting short chain length 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV; 38 mol%) medium length, 3-hydroxyheptanoate (3HHp; 9.89 mol%), 3-hydroxynanoate (3HN; 16.59 3-hydroxyundecanoate (3HU; 35.42 mol%). Despite low molecular weight by thermophilus, whey could be excellent substrate heteropolymers with unique properties.
