In silico optimization and low structured kinetic model of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] synthesis by Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 by fed-batch cultivation on glycerol.

Glycerol was utilized by Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 for production of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in fed-batch fermentation. Maximal specific growth rates (0.12 and 0.

Novel description of mcl-PHA biosynthesis by Pseudomonas chlororaphis from animal-derived waste.

A novel description of mcl-PHA biosynthesis by Ps. chlororaphis from tallow-based biodiesel as an inexpensive carbon feed stock is presented. Fermentation protocols, kinetic analysis, an efficient product recovery strategy, and product characterization are included.

Mathematical modeling of poly[(R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate] synthesis by Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 on substrates stemming from biodiesel production.

Two low structured mathematical models for fed-batch production of polyhydroxybutyrate and poly[hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate] by Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 on renewable substrates (glycerol and fatty acid methyl esters-FAME) combined with glucose and valeric acid, were established. The models were used for development/optimization of feeding strategies of carbon and nitrogen sources concerning PHA content and polymer/copolymer composition. Glycerol/glucose fermentation featured a max.
