Abstract

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are produced and accumulated as granules in cytoplasm of various bacteria for carbon and energy storages. This work aimed to screen the high PHA-producing Bacillus bacteria and optimize culture conditions for PHA production. The results revealed that among 200 bacterial isolates, Bt109-16 is the most efficient PHA producing bacterium (0.45 g/L, 34.31% of dry cell weight (DCW)).                  The maximum PHA production of 1.86 g/L (50.86% DCW) was achieved when culturing the Bt109-16 in               the optimized medium containing 2% (w/v) sucrose, 0.3% (w/v) tryptone, pH 7.0 and cultured at 37°C for 72 h. Identification using 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the Bt109-16 was Bacillus thuringiensis. Keywords : Bacillus, bioplastic, polyhydroxyalkanoates, carbon source, nitrogen source
