Abstract
A bacterial strain, WD-3, with high polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) yield was isolated from activated sludge. Its fermentation characters including the effects of C:N ratio, pH, fermentation time on the PHA production were also primary studied. The results showed that the optimal C/N ratio and pH were 35 and 7.0, respectively. PHA accumulation increased rapidly during the stable growth stage. The maximum PHA yield was 3.01 g · L-1, the strain accumulated PHA up to 45.4% of its cellular dry weight, and the proportion of PHV occupied one-third of the PHA production. Analysis of its 16S rRNA sequence showed that strain WD-3 belongs to Enterobacter.
