Process for extraction of bioplastic and production of monomers from the bioplastic

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for extraction of bioplastic from bioplastic-producing microbial cells, comprising the steps of: A. providing bioplastic producing microbial cells comprising bioplastic; B. providing bacterial cells selected from the species Bacillus pumilus; C. extracting the bioplastic by admixing the bioplastic-producing microbial cells of step A and the bacterial cells of step B and allowing reaction. The present invention further relates to the process of producing monomers from said bioplastics by depolymerization.
