Quantifizierungsmethoden für die Pro duk - tion von PHB mittels Halomonas halophila

摘要

The quantification of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in biomass of Halomonas halophila was compared using different methods (TGA, GC-FID, GC-MS, HPLC). The determined PHB contents were similar in all applied methods. The observed differences between washed and unwashed samples are discussed. Basically, the time required to determine the final results is significantly different by the methods used. With regard to the total analysis time, the application of the TGA is the method of choice.
