A Statistical approach to optimize the production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates from Wickerhamomyces anomalus VIT-NN01 using Response Surface Methodology.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 2018 Februrary
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are three-level group of biodegradable polymers and attractive substitutes over conventional plastics to avoid the pollution problems. The yeast strain isolated from sugarcane juice, identified as Wickerhamomyces anomalus VIT-NN01, was used for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). Response surface methodology (RSM), three-level six variables Box-Behnken design (BBD), was employed to optimize the factors such as pH 8.0, temperature 37°C, sugarcane molasses (35g/L) supplemented with co-substrate palm oil (0.5%),corn steep liquor (2%) after a period of 96h of incubation for the maximum yield (19.50±0.3g/L) of PHA. It was well in close agreement with the predicted value obtained by RSM model yield (19.55±0.1g/L).Characterization of the extracted polymer was done using FTIR, GC-MS, XRD, TGA and AFM analysis. NMR spectroscopic analysis revealed that the biopolymer was poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), copolymer of PHA. This is the first report on optimization of PHA production using yeast strain isolated from natural sources.
