SCREENING AND OPTIMIZATION OF POLYHYDROXYBUTYRATE (PHB)FROM AZOTOBACTER SPP

D. Lakshmi priya, Ramya Anandan and P. Rajendran

By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Azotobacter spp is a obligate aerobe that is able to fix nitrogen and has a remarkable machinery to synthesis an intra cellular polyester Poly B hydroxybutryate.This experiment was done to qualitatively and quantitatively screen the soil isolates for PHB production. Study on the growth and production of PHB was done at standard pH and temperature.
