ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYHYDROXYBUTYRATE (PHB) PRODUCING NOVEL BACTERIA Pseudomonas canadensis BY USING TAPIOCA POWDER AS NUTRIENT SOURCE | UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a bacterial macromolecule that has been produced. Because of their quick degradability in natural environments, PHB has been considered as an alternative for the creation of biodegradable polymers. Polyhydroxybutyrate-producing bacterium accumulation was discovered among four bacterial strains isolated from fertile agricultural soil in the Papanasam Cauvery delta area. Pseudomonas canadensis was determined to be the top PHB generator in isolated fertile field soil samples. The isolate produces PHB optimally at a pH of 7.5 at a temperature of 37°C. Fructose was the best carbon source for PHB synthesis. UV-Vis, FTIR, NMR, XRD, and SEM studies were used to analyse the PHB extracted samples. The isolated Pseudomonas canadensis employed for practicable PHB synthesis uses a cheaply available tapioca powder nutrient supply in parameter tuning throughout production using several substrates to increase Polyhydroxybutyrate yield.
