• W1013318467 abstract "The use of biodegradable polymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) over their non-degradable petro-chemical based counterparts is among the measures taken towards environmental friendliness and sophistication in industrial and biomedical applications. Issues such as rate of degradability and the increasing demand in specialty applications for these biopolymers, particularly in biomedical field e.g in controlling the precise target delivery of a therapeutic drug, as well as the capability of the polymeric drug carrier to release a drug at an independent time scale warrant an intense research in the processes for biopolymer production, functionalization and modification. Although several approaches in devising simpler and cost effective means to improve the desirable traits (e.g. degradability, molecular wieght, crytallinity etc) of these biodegradable polymers have been reported, which include chemical synthesis and blending, wider options need to be explored. In this research, a mild and environmental-friendly process for the biosynthetic preparation of PHA was investigated. In the in vitro enzymatic PHA biosynthesis, a sonication process enhanced the rate of polymer propagation by more than two-fold, while the enzymatic turnover number increases by 3 times. In addition, the polymer properties viz molecular weight, crystallinity and polydispersity were improved under sonication as compared to the non-sonicated process. The in vivo PHA production by bacterial fermentation utilizes renewable carbon substrates. The process was observed to be growth associated, resulting in PHA accumulation of about 50 to 77% (w/w) and PHA yields ranging from 10. g L-1 to 15.5 g L-1, respectively. The type and compositon of accumulated PHA depend on the type of carbon source fed and the bacterial species. For example, feeding fatty acids from octanoic acid (C8:0) to oleic acid (C18:1) as sole carbon and energy source in the newly isolated strain of Pseudomonas putida Bet001, as much as 50 to 69% of the microbial dry mass PHA accumulation with a molecular weight ranging from 56 to 78 kDa was observed. On the otherivhand, another new bacterial isolate Delftia tsuruhatensis Bet002, failed to use medium-chainlengthfatty acids i.e. C8 to C10 for growth and PHA accumulation. When the bacterium was fedwith C14:0 to C18:0 fatty acids, a homopolymer of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation wasobserved. When the bacterium was supplied with unsaturated oleic acid (C18:1), a copolymercontaining C4 to C10 acids with both even and odd carbon atom monomers is accumulated. As inP. putida Bet001, PHA accumulation for D. tsuruhatensis Bet002 is also growth associated withPHA yield of about 45 to 77% on cell dry weight basis and a molecular weight ranging from 131to 199 kDa. Independent of the species, the type of carbon source influences both the thermalstability and crystallinity of the PHA.With the aim to improve the degradability of these important polymers and possiblyexpanding their niche applications, the PHA was conjugated with sugar moieties via enzymecatalysis. Besides showing better compostability, the biodegradability of the functionalizedglycopolymers increase by factor of 1.5 compared to the non-functionalized materials. Theyshowed an improved thermal stability with highest melting and thermal degradationtemperatures of 150oC and above 300oC, respectively. The functionalization reaction afforded aglycopolymer with an average molecular weight (Mw) of 1.7 to 16.8 (±0.2) kDa depending on thesolvent polarity. As such, controlling the binary solvent mixtures as reaction media, enables toinfluence and/or manipulate the rate of product formation and reaction stability resulting inhigher efficiency and yield. The polymer functionalization with sugar moieties was carried out viaa simple, single-step enzymatic catalysis, which is specific, viable and environmental-friendly." @default.
