Controlled production of polyhydroxyalcanoates by bacterial strain Ralstonia eutropha using different substrates
Šnajdar, Ondřej ; Duroňová, Kateřina (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) by bacterial strain Ralstonia eutropha. Production of PHA on different substrates has been studied to lower the costs of feedstock. In theoretical part the review has been done about the most important types of PHA, production strains and possibilities of cultivation of Ralstonia eutropha using different substrates. In practical part there has been studied production of PHA on different vegetable oils, including waste oils from different sources (restaurants, homes, food companies). Incorporation of different precursors for copolymer production control was studied too. The highest yields of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) have been achieved using waste oils. For economical and ecological reasons these oils are very suitable substrates. Using concentration 20 g/l of waste rapeseed oil from university canteen there has been produced 13,32 g/l of biomass containing 58,63% of P3HB in 84th hour of cultivation. The highest yield of PHA in precursors study has been achieved applying 1% propanol in 24th hour of cultivation. The PHA increase has been 97%. This PHA was composed from 91% of 3HB and 9% of 3-hydroxyvalerate.
