Exploring New Strategies for Optimizing the Production of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyvalerate) from Methane and VFAs in Synthetic Cocultures and Mixed Methanotrophic Consortia.
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering 2024 March 19
In this work, the potential of a synthetic coculture and a mixed methanotrophic consortium to synthesize poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) from renewable and waste-based feedstocks was assessed batchwise. Methylocystis parvus cocultivated with Rhodococcus opacus and a Methylocystis -enriched culture previously grown on methane were subjected to nutrient starvation in a medium enriched with valeric acid (30% w w-1 of C tot ) or with a VFAs mixture containing acetic, propionic, butyric, and valeric acids (15% w w-1 of C tot ) under a CH4 :O2 or air atmosphere. For all test series, pH was adjusted to 7 after adding the cosubstrates, and a negligible substrate consumption or polymer production was considered the end point of the trial. Results showed that valeric acid promoted PHBV accumulation in both cultures regardless of the atmosphere. Interestingly, the mixture of VFAs supported PHBV accumulation only in the presence of methane. The highest PHBV contents for the coculture and the mixed consortium, equal to 73.7 ± 2.5% w w-1 and 49.6 ± 13% w w-1 , respectively, were obtained with methane and the VFAs mixture. This study demonstrates the suitability of cocultures and biobased cosubstrates for the sustainable production of the biodegradable polymer PHBV.
