Abstract
Artificial packaging materials, such as plastic, can cause significant environmental problems. Thus, the use of polysaccharide-based biodegradable polymers (cellulose, starch, and alginate) has the potential in the field of environmental sustainability, reprocessing, or protection of the environment. Morphological and structural alterations caused by material degradation have a substantial impact on polymer material characteristics. To avoid degradation during storage, it is critical to evaluate and comprehend the structure, characteristics, and behavior of modern bio-based materials for potential food packaging applications. Hence, this review focused on the various types of polysaccharide-based biodegradable polymers (cellulose, starch, and alginate), their properties, and their commercial potential for food packaging applications. In addition, we overviewed the recent development of polysaccharide-based biodegradable polymer (cellulose, starch, and alginate) packaging for food products. The review concluded that the membrane and chromatographics are widely used in production of cellulose, starch, and alginate-based biodegradable polymers. Also, nanotechnology-based food packaging is widely used to improve the properties of cellulose, starch, and alginate biodegradable polymers and the incorporation of active agents to enhance the shelf life of food products. Overall, the review highlighted the potential of cellulose, starch, and alginate biodegradable polymers in the food packaging industry and the need for potential research and development to improve their properties and commercial viability.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 387:129699.

Abstract
In this work, the potential of Methylocystis hirsuta to simultaneously use methane and volatile fatty acids mixtures for triggering PHBV accumulation was assessed for the first time batchwise. Biotic controls carried out with CH4 alone confirmed the inability of Methylocystis hirsuta to produce PHBV and achieved 71.2 ± 7 g m-3d-1 of PHB. Pure valeric acid and two synthetic mixtures simulating VFAs effluents from the anaerobic digestion of food waste at 35 °C (M1) and 55 °C (M2) were supplied to promote 3-HV inclusion. Results showed that pure valeric acid supported the highest polymer yields of 105.8 ± 9 g m-3d-1 (3-HB:3-HV=70:30). M1 mixtures led to a maximum of 103 ± 4 g m-3d-1 of PHBV (3-HB:3-HV=85:15), while M2 mixtures, which did not include valeric acid, showed no PHV synthesis. This suggested that the synthesis of PHBV from VFAs effluents depends on the composition of the mixtures, which can be tuned during the anaerobic digestion process.

YJ01: Detoxification of the 2-methylcitrate cycle. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 388:129738.

Abstract
As a carbon substrate, propionate can be used to synthesize poly(3-hydroxybutyrateco-3-hydroxyvalerate) [PHBV] biopolymer, but high concentrations can inhibit PHBV production. Therefore, novel PHBV producers that can utilize high propionate concentrations are needed. Here, a novel halophile, Halomonas sp. YJ01 was applied to PHBV production via a propionate-dependent pathway, and optimal culture growth conditions were determined. The maximum poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [PHB] content and yield in the presence of glucose were 89.5 wt% and 5.7 g/L, respectively. This strain utilizes propionate and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) for PHBV accumulation. Multiple genes related to polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis were identified using whole-genome annotation. The PHBV yield and 3HV fraction obtained by strain YJ01 utilizing 15 g/L propionate were 0.86 g/L and 29 mol%, respectively, but in cultures with glucose-propionate, it decreased its copolymer dry weight. This indicates that propionyl-CoA was converted to pyruvate through the 2-methylcitrate cycle (2MCC), which reduced propionate detoxification for the strain.

Ammonia impact on the selection of a phototrophic - chemotrophic consortium for polyhydroxyalkanoates production under light-feast / dark-aerated-famine conditions. WATER RESEARCH 2023; 244:120450. [PMID: 37574626 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
Phototrophic polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production is an emerging technology for recovering carbon and nutrients from diverse wastewater streams. However, reliable selection methods for the enrichment of PHA accumulating purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) in phototrophic mixed cultures (PMC) are needed. This research evaluates the impact of ammonia on the selection of a PHA accumulating phototrophic-chemotrophic consortium, towards the enrichment of PHA accumulating PPB. The culture was operated under light-feast/dark-aerated-famine and winter simulated-outdoor conditions (13.2 ± 0.9 °C, transient light, 143.5 W/m2), using real fermented domestic wastewater with molasses as feedstock. Three ammonia supply strategies were assessed: 1) ammonia available only in the light phase, 2) ammonia always present and 3) ammonia available only during the dark-aerated-famine phase. Results showed that the PMC selected under 1) ammonia only in the light and 3) dark-famine ammonia conditions, presented the lowest PHA accumulation capacity during the light period (11.1 % g PHA/g VSS and 10.4 % g PHA/g VSS, respectively). In case 1), the absence of ammonia during the dark-aerated-famine phase did not promote the selection of PHA storing PPB, whereas in case 3) the absence of ammonia during the light period favoured cyanobacteria growth as well as purple sulphur bacteria with increased non-PHA inclusions, resulting in an overall decrease of phototrophic PHA accumulation capacity. The best PHA accumulation performance was obtained with selection under permanent presence of ammonia (case 2), which attained a PHA content of 21.6 % g PHA/g VSS (10.2 Cmmol PHA/L), at a production rate of 0.57 g PHA/L·day, during the light period in the selection reactor. Results in case 2 also showed that feedstock composition impacts the PMC performance, with feedstocks richer in more reduced volatile fatty acids (butyric and valeric acids) decreasing phototrophic performance and leading to acids entering the dark-aerated phase. Nevertheless, the presence of organic carbon in the aerated phase was not detrimental to the system. In fact, it led to the establishment of a phototrophic-chemotrophic consortium that could photosynthetically accumulate a PHA content of 13.2 % g PHA/g VSS (6.7 Cmmol PHA/L) at a production rate of 0.20 g PHA/L·day in the light phase, and was able to further increase that storage up to 18.5 % g PHA/g VSS (11.0 Cmmol PHA/L) at a production rate of 1.35 g PHA/L·day in the dark-aerated period. Furthermore, the light-feast/dark-aerated-famine operation was able to maintain the performance of the selection reactor under winter conditions, unlike non-aerated PMC systems operated under summer conditions, suggesting that night-time aeration coupled with the constant presence of ammonia can contribute to overcoming the seasonal constraints of outdoor operation of PMCs for PHA production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioplastics are attracting considerable attention, owing to the increase in non-degradable waste. Using microorganisms to degrade bioplastics is a promising strategy for reducing non-degradable plastic waste. However, maintaining bacterial viability and activity during culture and storage remains challenging. With the use of conventional methods, cell viability and activity was lost; therefore, these conditions need to be optimized for the practical application of microorganisms in bioplastic degradation. Therefore, we aimed to optimize the feasibility of the lyophilization method for convenient storage and direct use. In addition, we incoporated protective reagents to increase the viability and activity of lyophilized microorganisms. By selecting and applying the best protective reagents for the lyophilization process and the effects of additives on the growth and PHB-degrading activity of strains were analyzed after lyophilization. For developing the lyophilization method for protecting degradation activity, it may promote practical applications of bioplastic-degrading bacteria. RESULTS In this study, the polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-degrading strain, Bacillus sp. JY14 was lyophilized with the use of various sugars as protective reagents. Among the carbon sources tested, raffinose was associated with the highest cell survival rate (12.1%). Moreover, 7% of raffionose showed the highest PHB degradation yield (92.1%). Therefore, raffinose was selected as the most effective protective reagent. Also, bacterial activity was successfully maintained, with raffinose, under different storage temperatures and period. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights lyophilization as an efficient microorganism storage method to enhance the applicability of bioplastic-degrading bacterial strains. The approach developed herein can be further studied and used to promote the application of microorganisms in bioplastic degradation.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is one of the most promising materials for replacing petroleum-based plastics, and it can be produced from various renewable biomass sources. In this study, PHA production was conducted using Halomonas sp. YLGW01 utilizing mixed volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as carbon sources. The ratio and concentration of carbon and nitrogen sources were optimized through mixture analysis and organic nitrogen source screening, respectively. It was found that the highest cell dry weight (CDW) of 3.15 g/L and PHA production of 1.63 g/L were achieved when the ratio of acetate to lactate in the mixed VFAs was 0.45:0.55. Furthermore, supplementation of organic nitrogen sources such as soytone resulted in a ninefold increase in CDW (reaching 2.32 g/L) and a 22-fold increase in PHA production (reaching 1.60 g/L) compared to using inorganic nitrogen sources. Subsequently, DO-stat, VFAs consumption rate stat, and pH-stat fed-batch methods were applied to investigate and evaluate PHA productivity. The results showed that when pH-stat-based VFAs feeding was employed, a CDW of 7 g/L and PHA production of 5.1 g/L were achieved within 68 h, with a PHA content of 73%. Overall, the pH-stat fed-batch strategy proved to be effective in enhancing PHA production by Halomonas sp. YLGW01 utilizing VFAs.

Abstract
Pseudomonas sp. phDV1 is a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) producer. The presence of the endogenous PHA depolymerase (phaZ) responsible for the degradation of the intracellular PHA is one of the main shortages in the bacterial production of PHA. Further, the production of PHA can be affected by the regulatory protein phaR, which is important in accumulating different PHA-associated proteins. PHA depolymerase phaZ and phaR knockout mutants of Pseudomonas sp. phDV1 were successfully constructed. We investigate the PHA production from 4.25 mM phenol and grape pomace of the mutants and the wild type. The production was screened by fluorescence microscopy, and the PHA production was quantified by HPLC chromatography. The PHA is composed of Polydroxybutyrate (PHB), as confirmed by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The wildtype strain produces approximately 280 μg PHB after 48 h in grape pomace, while the phaZ knockout mutant produces 310 μg PHB after 72 h in the presence of phenol per gram of cells, respectively. The ability of the phaZ mutant to synthesize high levels of PHB in the presence of monocyclic aromatic compounds may open the possibility of reducing the costs of industrial PHB production.

Abstract
Macroalgae (seaweed) is considered a favorable feedstock for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) production owing to its high productivity, low land and freshwater requirement, and renewable nature. Among different microbes Halomonas sp. YLGW01 can utilize algal biomass-derived sugars (galactose and glucose) for growth and PHAs production. Biomass-derived byproducts furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and acetate affects Halomonas sp. YLGW01 growth and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production i.e., furfural > HMF > acetate. Eucheuma spinosum biomass-derived biochar was able to remove 87.9 % of phenolic compounds from its hydrolysate without affecting sugar concentration. Halomonas sp. YLGW01 grows and accumulates a high amount of PHB at 4 % NaCl. The use of detoxified unsterilized media resulted in high biomass (6.32 ± 0.16 g cdm/L) and PHB production (3.88 ± 0.04 g/L) compared to undetoxified media (3.97 ± 0.24 g cdm/L, 2.58 ± 0.1 g/L). The finding suggests that Halomonas sp. YLGW01 has the potential to valorize macroalgal biomass into PHAs and open a new avenue for renewable bioplastic production.

Abstract
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from lignocellulosic biomass is challenging due to the need for whole components and energy-effective conversion. Herein, Halomonas sp. Y3, a ligninolytic bacterium with the capacity to produce PHB from lignin and cellulose- and hemicellulose-derived sugars, is employed to explore its feasibility. This strain shows high sugar tolerance up to 200 g/L of glucose and 120 g/L of xylose. A dual anti-microbial contamination system (DACS) containing alkali-halophilic system (AHS) and phosphite-urea system (PUS) is presented, successfully achieving a completely aseptic effect and resulting in a total of 8.2 g of PHB production from 100 g bamboo biomass. We further develop a stage-fed-batch fermentation to promote the complete utilization of xylose. Approximately 69.99 g of dry cell weight (DCW) and 46.45 g of PHB with 66.35 % are obtained from a total of 296.58 g of sugars and 5.70 g of lignin, showing a significant advancement for LCB bioconversion. We then delete the native phosphate transporters, rendering the strain unable to grow on phosphate-loaded media, effectively improving the strain biosafety without compromising its ability to produce PHB. Overall, our findings demonstrate the potential of Y3 as a classic bacterium strain for PHB production with potential uses in industry.

Abstract
Bioplastics replace synthetic plastics of petrochemical origin, which contributes challenge to both polymer quality and economics. Novel polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)-composite materials, with desirable product quality, could be developed, thus targeting the global plastics market, in the coming years. It is possible that PHA can be a greener substitute for their petroleum-based competitors since they are simply decomposed, which may lessen the pressure on municipal and industrial waste management systems. PHA production has proven to be the bottleneck in industrial application and commercialization because of the high price of carbon substrates and downstream processes required to achieve reliability. Bacterial PHA production by these municipal and industrial wastes, which act as a cheap, renewable carbon substrate, eliminates waste management hassles and acts as an efficient substitute for synthetic plastics. In the present review, challenges and opportunities related to the commercialization of polyhydroxyalkanoates are discussed and presented. Moreover, it discusses critical steps of their production process, feedstock evaluation, optimization strategies, and downstream processes. This information may provide us the complete utilization of bacterial PHA during possible applications in packaging, nutrition, medicine, and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as biodegradable plastics have attracted increasing attention due to its biodegradable, biocompatible and renewable advantages. Exploitation some unique microbes for PHAs production is one of the most competitive approaches to meet complex industrial demand, and further develop next-generation industrial biotechnology. In this study, a rare actinomycetes strain A7-Y was isolated and identified from soil as the first PHAs producer of Aquabacterium genus. Produced PHAs by strain A7-Y was identified as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) based on its structure characteristics, which is also similar with commercial PHB. After optimization of fermentation conditions, strain A7-Y can produce 10.2 g/L of PHB in 5 L fed-batch fermenter, corresponding with 54 % PHB content of dry cell weight, which is superior to the reported actinomycetes species. Furthermore, the phaCAB operon in stain A7-Y was excavated to be responsible for the efficient PHB production and verified in recombinant Escherichia coli. Our results indicate that strain A7-Y and its biosynthetic gene cluster are potential candidates for developing a microbial formulation for the PHB production.

Polyhydroxybutyrate production from crude glycerol using a highly robust bacterial strain Halomonas sp. YLGW01. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 236:123997.

Abstract
Petrochemical-based plastics are hardly biodegradable and a major cause of environmental pollution, and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is attracting attention as an alternative due to its similar properties. However, the cost of PHB production is high and is considered the greatest challenge for its industrialization. Here, crude glycerol was used as a carbon source for more efficient PHB production. Among the 18 strains investigated, Halomonas taeanenisis YLGW01 was selected for PHB production due to its salt tolerance and high glycerol consumption rate. Furthermore, this strain can produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (P(3HB-co-3 HV)) with 17 % 3 HV mol fraction when a precursor is added. PHB production was maximized through medium optimization and activated carbon treatment of crude glycerol, resulting in 10.5 g/L of PHB with 60 % PHB content in fed-batch fermentation. Physical properties of the produced PHB were analyzed, i.e., weight average molecular weight (6.8 × 105), number average molecular weight (4.4 × 105), and the polydispersity index (1.53). In the universal testing machine analysis, the extracted intracellular PHB showed a decrease in Young's modulus, an increase in Elongation at break, greater flexibility than authentic film, and decreased brittleness. This study confirmed that YLGW01 is a promising strain for industrial PHB production using crude glycerol.

Abstract
For cost-competitive biosynthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), the screening of efficient producers and characterization of their genomic potential is fundamental. In this study, 94 newly isolated halophilic strains from Turkish salterns were screened for their polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) biosynthesis capabilities through fermentation. Halomonas halmophila 18H was found to be the highest PHB producer, yielding 63.72 % of its biomass as PHB. The PHB produced by this strain was physically and chemically characterized using various techniques. Its genome was also sequenced and found to be large (6,713,657 bp) and have a GC content of 59.9 %. Halomonas halmophila 18H was also found to have several copies of PHB biosynthesis genes, as well as 20 % more protein-coding genes and 1075 singletons compared to other high PHB producers. These unique genomic features make it a promising cell factory for the simultaneous production of PHAs and other biotechnologically important secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Environmental challenges related to the mismanagement of plastic waste became even more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for new solutions regarding the use of plastics came to the forefront again. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have demonstrated their ability to replace conventional plastics, especially in packaging. Its biodegradability and biocompatibility makes this material a sustainable solution. The cost of PHA production and some weak physical properties compared to synthetic polymers remain as the main barriers to its implementation in the industry. The scientific community has been trying to solve these disadvantages associated with PHA. This review seeks to frame the role of PHA and bioplastics as substitutes for conventional plastics for a more sustainable future. It is focused on the bacterial production of PHA, highlighting the current limitations of the production process and, consequently, its implementation in the industry, as well as reviewing the alternatives to turn the production of bioplastics into a sustainable and circular economy.

Abstract
Excess waste-activated sludge (WAS) is a major biosolid management problem due to its biohazardous and recalcitrant content of phthalate esters (PAEs). This study aimed to assess the combined use of biopolymer, poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and peroxymonosulfate to degrade PAEs and decontaminate WAS. Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate was biosynthesized by Cupriavidus sp. L7L. The combined poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and peroxymonosulfate process removed 86 % of PAEs from WAS in 12 h. The carbonyl groups of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate were conducive to peroxymonosulfate activation leading to PAE degradation followed the radical pathway and surface-mediated electron transfer. Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and peroxymonosulfate also enriched the PAE-biodegrading microbes in WAS. The microbial population and the functional composition in response to peroxymonosultate treatment was identified, with the genus Sulfurisoma being the most abundant. This synergistic treatment, i.e., advanced oxidation process, was augmented by highly promising microbial polyesters, exhibited important implications for WAS pretreatment toward circular bioeconomy that encompasses carbon-neutral biorefinery and mitigate pollution.

Enhancement of polyhydroxybutyrate production by introduction of heterologous phasin combination in Escherichia coli. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 225:757-766.

Abstract
Phasin is a surface-binding protein of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granules that is encoded by the phaP gene. As its expression increases, PHA granules become smaller, to increase their surface area, and are densely packed inside the cell, thereby increasing the PHA content. A wide range of PHA-producing bacteria have phaP genes; however, their PHA productivity differs, although they are derived from the cognate bacterial host cell. Modulating phasin expression could be a new strategy to enhance PHA production. This study aimed to characterize the effect of heterologous phasins on the reconstitution of E. coli BL21(DE3) and determine the best synergistic phaP gene combination to produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). We identified novel phasins from a PHB high-producer strain, Halomonas sp. YLGW01, and introduced a combination of phaP genes into Escherichia coli. The resulting E. coli phaP1,3 strain had enhanced PHB production by 2.9-fold, leading to increased cell mass and increased PHB content from 48 % to 65 %. This strain also showed increased tolerance to inhibitors, such as furfural and vanillin, enabling the utilization of lignocellulose biosugar as a carbon source. These results suggested that the combination of phaP1 and phaP3 genes from H. sp. YLGW01 could increase PHB production and robustness.

Abstract
One of the important directions in the development of modern medical devices is the search and creation of new materials, both synthetic and natural, which can be more effective in their properties than previously used materials. Traditional materials such as metals, ceramics, and synthetic polymers used in medicine have certain drawbacks, such as insufficient biocompatibility and the emergence of an immune response from the body. Natural biopolymers have found applications in various fields of biology and medicine because they demonstrate a wide range of biological activity, biodegradability, and accessibility. This review first described the properties of the two most promising biopolymers belonging to the classes of polyhydroxyalkanoates and polysaccharides-polyhydroxybutyrate and chitosan. However, homopolymers also have some disadvantages, overcome which becomes possible by creating polymer composites. The article presents the existing methods of creating a composite of two polymers: copolymerization, electrospinning, and different ways of mixing, with a description of the properties of the resulting compositions. The development of polymer composites is a promising field of material sciences, which allows, based on the combination of existing substances, to develop of materials with significantly improved properties or to modify of the properties of each of their constituent components.

Abstract
This work simulates the production of methyl crotonate from various industrial wastewaters. In the upstream process, wastewater is fermented into volatile fatty acids which are then converted into polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) by means of mixed microbial cultures. In the downstream, PHA undergoes a series of thermolysis and esterification reactions to produce methyl crotonate. The origin of the wastewater was found to have a great influence on the composition of the PHA with the effluent of a candy bar factory producing a high polyhydroxybutyrate/polyhydroxyvalerate ratio of 86/14 in favour of methyl crotonate production. It was observed that the use of intracellular polyhydroxybutyrate, instead of purified, significantly lowers the number of separation steps and yet reduces the methyl crotonate recovery by only 20 %. An operating pressure higher than 18 bar led to more transesterification of polyhydroxybutyrate, producing byproducts instead of methyl crotonate. Finally, a 3 h reaction was found sufficient for completion of polyhydroxybutyrate conversion.

Abstract
Sphingobium yanoikuyae BBL01 can produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). The effect of side products (furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), vanillin, and acetate) produced during pretreatment of biomass was evaluated on S. yanoikuyae BBL01. It was observed that a certain concentration range (0.01-0.03 %) of these compounds can improve growth, EPS production, and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation. The addition of HMF increases glucose and xylose utilization while other side products have a negative effect. The C/N of 5 favors EPS production (3.24 ± 0.05 g/L), while a higher C/N ratio of 30 promotes PHB accumulation (38.7 ± 0.08 % w/w), when commercial sugar is used as a carbon source. Pine biomass-derived biochar was able to remove 40 ± 2.1 % of total phenolic. Various biomass hydrolysates were evaluated and the use of detoxified pine biomass hydrolysate (DPH) as a carbon source resulted in the higher coproduction of EPS (2.83 ± 0.03 g/L) and PHB (40.8 ± 2.4 % w/w).

Abstract
Urbanization and pollution are the major issues of the current time own to the exhaustive consumption of fossil fuels which have a detrimental effect on the nation's economies and air quality due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and shortage of energy reserves. Algae, an autotrophic organism provides a green substitute for energy as well as commercial products. Algal extracts become an efficient source for bioactive compounds having anti-microbial, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancerous potential. Besides the conventional approach, residual biomass from any algal-based process might act as a renewable substrate for fermentation. Likewise, lignocellulosic biomass, algal biomass can also be processed for sugar recovery by different pre-treatment strategies like acid and alkali hydrolysis, microwave, ionic liquid, and ammonia fiber explosion, etc. Residual algal biomass hydrolysate can be used as a feedstock to produce bioenergy (biohydrogen, biogas, methane) and biochemicals (organic acids, polyhydroxyalkanoates) via microbial fermentation.
