Synthesis, characterization, and structural properties of intracellular copolyester poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) produced by Comamonas sp. EB 172 from renewable resource

Microbial copolymer was produced by a local isolate, Comamonas sp. EB 172, using mixed organic acids such as acetic, propionic, and butyric acids as carbon sources in pH-stat fed-batch fermentation. Maximum polymer production (6.59 g/L) was achieved at 50 h of fermentation when 73.64 g/L mixed acids...
