UTILIZATION OF THE NOVEL, ENVIRONMENTAL ISOLATES PSEUDOMONAS SP. IPB-B26 AND N-128 FOR THE EFFICIENT HIGH YIELD PRODUCTION OF MCL/LCL-PHAS

摘要

The present application is directed at microorganisms of the genus Pseudomonasas deposited under DSM26199 (Pseudomonas sp. IPB-B26) and DSM26200(Pseudomonassp. N-128) with the Leibnitz Institute DSMZ. The present application isfurther directed at a process for the production of medium- and long-chain-lengthPHAs, comprising cultivating said microorganisms in a culture mediumcomprisinga carbon source and isolating the PHA from the microorganisms. It has beenobservedthat these microorganisms allow for efficient PHA production in highyields. In addition, the inventive microorganisms possess the valuablecapabilityto incorporate unsaturated fatty acids into the resulting PHAs. The inventivemicroorganismsthus enable a later modification of the PHAs as well as cross-linking,thus opening new fields of applications for these materials.
