Abstract
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is one of the highly biodegradable and biologically acceptable thermoplastics synthesized by many microorganisms collectively called polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). All available biopolymers are viewed as perfect answers for the resolution of natural contamination issue by supplanting ordinary plastic business. They are likewise utilized as osteosclerotic stimulants attributable to their piezoelectric properties, in bone plates, during operations as suture material and vein substitutions. Synthesis of PHB is found in a wide range of Gram’s negative and gram’s positive bacteria belonging to distinct genera. Optimum culture condition for the PHB producing microbes are provided, including restricted centralization of nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, or the trace elements and maximum convergence of carbon source Indeed, to market PHAs, significant exertion has been dedicated towards a decline in the production cost through the improvement of bacterial strains and enhancing effectiveness of recovery/fermentation procedure. This is being done considering the fact that substrate prices show the greatest impact on PHA's manufacturing cost. The price of the substrate used has the most significant influence on the production cost of PHA. In this research, a potential bacterial strain was isolated from the soil and tested for its PHB producing ability. The use of cheaper substrate for lowering the cost is prerequisite. For PHB production, water hyacinth was used as a carbon source. Bacterial growth was optimized for maximum PHB production. The optimum condition was found to be 30 °C, 8% substrate concentration and 72 h of incubation time.
Highlights
Every discovery in the world is directly or indirectly affects the environment
The biggest advantage of bioplastic is that it has fewer carbon footprints that doesn’t tend to float on the water surface as it settles on the surface of the water and decomposes with the help of bacteria
The present study focused on the isolation of PHB producing bacteria and optimization of PHB production utilizing water hyacinth as a substrate
Summary
Every discovery in the world is directly or indirectly affects the environment. Plastic was discovered more than a century ago [1]. The bioplastic production will be fruitful as well as economically good with the cheap substrate like agricultural waste and whey produced from dairy products. The solvents require in these methods are in large amount which is costly and are not reusable. These solvents increase the cost of production. The present study focused on the isolation of PHB producing bacteria and optimization of PHB production utilizing water hyacinth as a substrate. For the industrial purpose there are selected species that can produce on large scale and have high yield.
