Exploring simultaneous production of polyhydroxybutyrate and exopolysaccharides in cyanobacteria-rich microbiomes
Gonzalez Flo, E.
Show abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the viability of the dual production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) by seven microbiomes rich in cyanobacteria. Our initial experiments involved to screen for EPS-producing candidates and examine the impact of salinity and acetate on EPS synthesis. Salinitys known influence on EPS production and acetates role in enhancing PHB production guided our parameter selection. Surprisingly, neither the introduction of an external carbon source (acetate) nor exposure to an abiotic stressor (salt) significantly altered EPS synthesis rates, which ranged from 25 to 150 mg{middle dot}L-1, or its composition, with glucose being the dominant sugar component. Scaling up to a 3 L photobioreactor, we achieved simultaneous biopolymer production, reaching up to 205 mg{middle dot}L-1 EPS and 87 mg{middle dot}L-1 PHB. Additionally, the presence of uronic acid in the EPS facilitated biomass flocculation, streamlining the separation process, and potentially reducing associated time and costs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
