Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable polymers that can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass by microorganisms. Cheap and readily available raw material, such as corn stover waste, has the potential to lessen the cost of PHA synthesis. In this research study, corn stover is pretreated with NaOH under conditions optimized for high cellulose and low lignin with central composite design (CCD) followed by characterization using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Design expert software performed further optimization of alkali pretreated corn stover for high total reducing sugar (TRS) enhancement using CCD using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimized condition by RSM produced a TRS yield of 707.19 mg/g. Fermentation using corn stover hydrolysate by Pseudomonas putida MTCC 2475 gave mcl-PHA detected through gas c hromatography - t andem m ass s pectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and characterization of the PHA film by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FTIR, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Thus, this research paper focuses on using agriculture (stubble) waste as an alternative feedstock for PHA production.

Production, optimization, scale up and characterization of polyhydoxyalkanoates copolymers utilizing dairy processing waste. Sci Rep 2024; 14:1620. [PMID: 38238404 PMCID: PMC10796949 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-52098-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
The microbial biotransformation using low-cost feedstock to produce biopolymers (degradable), an alternative to petrochemical-based synthesis plastics (non-degradable), can be a beneficial approach towards sustainable development. In this study, the dairy industry processes waste (whey) is used in polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer production. Initial screening suggested that Ralstonia eutropha produced higher PHA as compared to Bacillus megaterium. A central composite rotatable design-based optimization using two process variables (amino acid and tween-80) concentration remarkably influenced PHA co-polymer production under physiological conditions of pH (7), temperature (37 °C), and agitation rate of 150 rpm. High polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) mass fraction yield of 69.3% was observed as compared to predicted yield of 62.8% from deproteinized whey as feed. The combination of tryptophan (50 mg L-1) and tween-80 (3 mL-1) enhanced R. eutropha mass gain to 6.80 g L-1 with PHB contents of 4.71 g L-1. Further, characterization of PHA and its copolymers was done by ESI-MS, FTIR, and TEM. On upscaling up to 3.0 L, the PHA contents and yields were noted as quite similar by R. eutropha. This study demonstrates that dairy waste processing waste can be potentially utilized as inexpensive feed for producing high content of biopolymers to develop a sustainable system of waste management.
