Improved properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) produced by Comamonas sp. EB172 utilizing volatile fatty acids by regulating the nitrogen source

This study presents the effect of carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) (mol/mol) on the cell growth and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) accumulation by Comamonas sp. EB172 in 2 L fermenters using volatile fatty acids (VFA) as the carbon source. This VFA was supplemented with ammonium sulphate...
