Article Abstract
Characterisation of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) film produced by haloalkalitolerant Halomonas campisalis (MCM B-1027) in 14L SS fermenter revealed it to have composition of monomer units, HB:HV as 96:4 as analysed by (1)H NMR indicating the PHA as a co-polymer of PHB-co-PHV, molecular weight by gel permeation chromatography as 2.08 × 10(6), melting temperature 166.51°C, tensile strength 18.8 MPa; two relaxations namely beta transition corresponding to the glass rubber transition and alpha transition corresponding to crystalline relaxation by Dynamic Mechanical Thermal analysis and only one relaxation corresponding to MWS interfacial polarisation with activation energy of 129 kJ/mol by broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Optical microscopic studies showed typical Maltese-cross pattern of spherulites. The PHA film was found to be biodegradable by standard ASTM method as well as by soil burial method. The leak proof polymer bags prepared from the film could be used as a packaging material.

Lythic action of an anaerobic proteolytic bacterium Proteinivorax tanatarense on organisms with different cell wall types was studied. In the absence of photosynthetic oxygen release, this proteolytic was able to grow on intact biomass of cyanobacteria belonging to various systematic groups. Itis probably their usual saprotrophic-satellite responsible for the regulation of abundance of primary producers during the dark phase.

Article Synopsis
- A novel process called Hanbon was created to improve the removal of nitrogen from wastewater by combining two methods: Short Nitrate Reduction and Anaerobic Ammonia Oxidation, tested in a lab-scale reactor.
- The optimal mixture for the process was found to be 0.65 parts ammonia nitrogen (NH-N), 1 part nitrate nitrogen (NO-N), and 2.2 parts chemical oxygen demand (COD), achieving a high nitrogen removal rate.
- The study identified specific bacteria that thrived under different substrate concentrations, indicating the process's potential for flexibility in treating wastewater with varying nitrogen levels and meeting strict discharge standards.

Denitratation (nitrite produced from nitrate), has the potential applications in wastewater treatment by combining with ANAMMOX process. The occurrence of denitratation has been shown to be effected qualitatively by various parameters in the environment. A more quantitative understanding can be obtained using enrichment cultures in lab-scale experiments, yet information on the enrichment of functional microorganisms responsible for denitratation is lacking.
