Biosynthesis of Poly-beta-Hydroxyalkanoates from Pentoses by Pseudomonas pseudoflava.

Abstract:

:The potential of Pseudomonas pseudoflava to produce poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from pentoses was studied. This organism was able to use a hydrolysate from the hemicellulosic fraction of poplar wood as a carbon and energy source for its growth. However, in batch cultures, growth was inhibited completely at hydrolysate concentrations higher than 30% (vol/vol). When P. pseudoflava was grown on the major sugars present in hemicelluloses in batch cultures, poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) accumulated when glucose, xylose, or arabinose was the sole carbon source, with the final PHB content varying from 17% (wt/wt) of the biomass dry weight on arabinose to 22% (wt/wt) of the biomass dry weight on glucose and xylose. Specific growth rates were 0.58 h on glucose, 0.13 h on xylose, and 0.10 h on arabinose, while the specific PHB production rates based on total biomass ranged from 0.02 g g h on arabinose to 0.11 g g h on glucose. PHB weight-average molecular weights were 640,000 on arabinose and 1,100,000 on glucose and xylose. The absolute amount of PHB in the cells decreased markedly when nitrogen limitation was relaxed by feeding ammonium sulfate at the end of the PHB accumulation stage of the arabinose and xylose fermentations. Copolymers of beta-hydroxybutyric and beta-hydroxyvaleric acids were produced when propionic acid was added to shake flasks containing 10 g of glucose liter. The beta-hydroxyvaleric acid monomer content attained a maximum of 45 mol% when the initial propionic acid concentration was 2 g liter.
