Fermentation methods for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by Alcaligenes eutrophus DSM 545

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was done in a cyclone bioreactor using various culture methods; including batch (lab and pilot scale) fed-batch and self-cycling fermentation with and without starvation periods. Alcaligenes eutrophus DSM 545 was used to accumulate about 87% (wt/wt) PHB to a total of 6.2 g L...
