Extremophiles – Platform strains for sustainable production of polyhydroxyalkanoates
Original language description
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biodegradable polyesters, which are produced by various bacteria including numerous halophiles. Employment of halophilic strain for PHA production brings numerous benefits such as robustness of the process against contamination by ubiquitous mesophiles or possibility to isolate polymer from bacterial biomass via hypotonic lysis. In this work, we screened three moderate halophiles – Halomonas halophila, Halomonas organivorans and Halomonas salina for the presence of phaC gene encoding for PHA synthase and, subsequently, we have investigated their PHA production potential on various sugars. Among tested strains, H. organivorans demonstrated extraordinary capacity of PHA production in particular on galactose and mannose since on these saccharides PHA content in dried bacterial cells reached 83 and 90 wt. % on mannose and galactose, respectively.
