Abstract A total of 5 biochemically characterized lipase positive bacterial strains were screened for Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production by Nile blue staining and confirmation was done by Sudan Black B. PHA production ability for all strains was optimized followed by time profiling calculation and comparison via using glucose and two plant oils i.e., canola and mustard oil. Quantitative analysis showed that glucose can serve as a carbon source for maximum biomass (2.5 g/L CDW for strain 5) and PHA production (70.3% for strain 2). PHA produced by strain 2 was further analyzed for its chemical composition and type via Fourier Transform Infrared… More >
