摘要

A wide variety of bacteria accumulate polyhydroxy alkanoates (PHAs) as intracellular storage material. Because of their physical and structural properties and amenability to biodegradation, PHAs are considered potential substitutes for petrochemical plastics. PHAs vary in their mechanical properties depending on the composition of the monomeric units. The medium chain-length PHAs are semi-crystalline elastomers with a low melting point (T_m), low tensile strength and high elongation to break, and can be used as biodegradable rubber. Polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB), smallest known PHA displays a similar degree of crystallinity and T_m as polystyrene8, and is stiffer and more brittle than polypropylene; but its copolymerization with hydroxy valerate (HV) monomer units reduces its stiffness and increases its toughness, giving a product with desirable properties for commercial applications. Polymers may fail in specific applications, simply because they do not possess the necessary strength to carry the designed load or occasional overload. Hence, it is important to study the mechanical and physical properties of such commercially important polymers before their use in the industry. Tropical mangrove and marine ecosystems from the mid-west coast of India were screened for promising bacteria, with capability of accumulating high amounts of PHA. The isolates designated as 61/4, 64/4, 87/4, 182/5, 12/BL, 85/6 and 86/6, which accumulated more than one gram PHA per litre culture broth were studied for physico-chemical factors influencing quantitative yield of PHA (unpublished results). The physical and mechanical properties of the PHA produced by these organisms are presented here.
