Abstract:
:Rhodovulum sulfidophilum DSM-1374 is a potential producer of polyester when growing in phototrophic conditions. The present study investigated on a polyester product (P3HB) by culturing Rhodovulum sulfidophilum DSM-1374 in two different photobioreactors (PBR-1 and PBR-2) both with 4-L working volumes. PBR-1 is equipped with an internal rotor having 4 paddles to mix the bacterial culture while PBR-2 has an internal coil-shaped rotor. After selecting PBR-1, which best performed in the preliminary experiment, the effect of different stressing growth conditions as pH (7.0, 8.0, and 9.0), temperature (25, 30, and 35 °C), and medium salinity (1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5%) were tested. When the pH of the culture was set to 8.0, the capability of the bacterium to synthetize the polyester increased significantly reaching a concentration of 412 mg (P3HB)/L; the increase of the pH at 9.0 caused a reduction of the P3HB concentration in the culture. The medium salinity of 4.5% was the best stress-growth condition to reach the highest concentration of polyester in the culture (820 ± 50 mg (P3HB)/L) with a P3HB mass fraction in the dry biomass of 33 ± 1.5%. Stresses caused by culture temperature are another potential parameter that could increase the synthesis of P3HB.
