Unlocking growth potential in Halomonas bluephagenesis for enhanced PHA production with sulfate ions.
J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol

Article Synopsis
- A mutant strain of Halomonas bluephagenesis (TDH4A1B5P) was identified to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) under low-salt, non-sterile conditions, albeit with low yield initially.
- To enhance PHA production, different nitrogen sources were tested, revealing urea as most effective during stable growth and ammonium sulfate during logarithmic growth, with sulfate ions significantly extending growth time and PHA content.
- Through an optimized feeding strategy using nitrogen sources and sulfate ions, the culture achieved a dry cell weight of 124 g/L and PHA content of 82.3%, resulting in a PHA yield of 101 g/L in a bioreactor
