Objective:
The objectives of this study were to isolate Poly[(R)-3-Hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) producing halotolerant bacterial strains from a saline environment and optimize the various growth conditions of the isolates for the maximum production of PHB. The isolated bacterial strains were then identified based on morphological, biochemical and molecular characteristics.
Materials and methods:
Halotolerant PHB-producing bacterial strains were isolated from saline environment in a nitrogen deficient medium containing 3% Sodium chloride. Following isolation, the strains were screened for PHB production by primary and secondary screening techniques and further confirmed by FTIR analysis. Optimization studies were p... view more»
