Production and characterization of polyhydroxybutyrate from<i>Vibrio harveyi</i>MCCB 284 utilizing glycerol as carbon source

Abstract

This is the first report of an isolate of V. harveyi which utilizes glycerol as the sole carbon source for PHB production with high biomass yield. This isolate could be of use as candidate species for commercial PHB production using glycerol as the feed stock or as source of genes for recombinant PHB production or for synthetic biology.
