Abstract

The influence of the concentrations of carbon and energy sources (methanol) and nitrogen (NH +4 ) on the yield and molecular mass (Mm) of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesized by the novel methylotroph Methyloligella halotolerans C2 was investigated. It was shown that the maximum concentrations of NH +4 and methanol in the medium for PHB biosynthesis were 0.15 g/L and 1 ± 0.2 mL/L, respectively. A unique high-molecular (8000–10000 kDa) PHB was obtained with NH +4 and methanol concentrations of 0.12 g/L and 1.25 mL/L, respectively, in a fermenter. The main physicochemical and mechanical properties of the obtained bioplastic with a molecular mass of 10000 kDa were determined.
