What is PHB Production from Whey by Methylobacterium about?
Methylobacterium sp. ZP24 can utilize lactose and cheese whey to produce poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), achieving a biomass yield of 5.25 g l−1 and PHB content of 59% of dry weight in 40 hours. The addition of ammonium sulfate significantly enhanced PHB production from whey, indicating the potential for economic PHB production using dairy by-products. This study highlights the viability of using Methylobacterium sp. ZP24 for sustainable biopolymer production from inexpensive raw materials.
