MM They are found to catalyze the polymerization of hydroxyacyl-CoAs having 3–5 carbons, i.e. Gutiérrez A high PHA content is also responsible for reducing the overall production cost. T G Straw-associated N₂ fixation is directly affected by environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, oxygen concentration, soil pH and clay content as well as farm management practices. , Yao L, Lio Jet al. M VD , Mishra SK, Mishra S. Singh S Stal , Decaen N. Doi (2013) reported the effect of metabolic inhibitors such as [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine on PHB pool of Synechocystis PCC 6803, where it was observed that these metabolic inhibitors inside the cells influence the ratio of NADPH and NADP along with PHB production. , Stillings C, Roland Det al. , Belarbi EH, Acién Fernández FGet al. R Overall, ecofriendly and cost-effective PHA recovery substitutes from biomass require to be developed for cyanobacteria. Cyanobacterial TCA cycle and related reactions (Zhang and Bryant 2011; Xiong et al.2014; Zhang et al.2016). Nonetheless, the integration of co-monomers into the PHB backbone allows production of a wider range of plastics with suitable material properties. S , Fritz I, Gattermayr Fet al. , Gopi K, Muthuvelan B. Bhati M Thus, a heterotrophic approach that requires a lower amount of a simple organic substrate is more desirable. The cyanobacterial PHA accumulation was initially reported in a Chlorogloea fritschii under acetate-supplemented condition followed by Gloeocapsa strain 6501 under photoautotrophic environment (Carr 1966; Rippka et al.1971). Furthermore, this PHA extraction strategy involves enormous quantities of toxic and volatile solvents that increase the total production cost with environmental hazards (Choi and Lee 1997). . This study clearly showed that supernatant can be reused efficiently as adjusted medium with no adverse effect of increased salinity toward algal cultivation and therefore, reducing the demand for freshwater. Heterotrophic approaches have been described before in the two-stage cultivation of cyanobacteria, where the cells were pre-grown under photoautotrophy to increase their biomass, and subsequently cultured under heterotrophy with a single type of organic substrate. These limitations could be overcome with the involvement of either solar or wind energy (Parmar et al.2011). Thus, strain improvements by genetic modification, new cultivation and harvesting techniques, advanced photobioreactor development, efficient and sustainable downstream processes, alternate economical carbon sources and usage of various metabolic inhibitors are suggested for enhancing cyanobacterial PHA accumulation. Rippka As a consequence, improvements in straw-associated N₂ fixation in soils have been achieved mostly by specific straw-management practices which encourage microbial activity by straw-decomposing and N₂-fixing microorganisms. A lower PHA content results in a vast quantity of organic substrate to be wasted on other cellular substances and/or metabolites. The autotrophic monerans can prepare their food using light energy ( photoautotrophs ) or chemical energy ( chemoautotrophs ). Perez Tao BH F PHB accumulation was also found to improve in the NH4+-grown N. muscorum cells under supplementation of L-methionine-DL-sulfoximine and azaserine. On the other hand, chitosan might be exploited at lower amount; nevertheless the cost of this polymeric material was unaffordable toward large-scale processes. But the recovered biopolymer solution having >5% (w/v) PHA polymer is extremely viscous as well as the elimination of cell wreckage is not an easy task. Koller , Mallick N. Papazi M Osanai Microorganism # 1. On the other hand, the PHA synthases belonging to Thiocapsia pfennigii and Aeromonas caviae establish exceptions within class III as these are proficient to integrate SCL- and MCL-hydroxyacyl-CoAs owing to their broad substrate specificity. Similarly, Rre37 is a pathway level regulator, which triggers the metabolic flow from glycogen to PHB (Osanai et al.2014). The addition of bases like NaOH into the culture suspension enhanced the development of dense flocs that result in quick settling. These enzymes are responsible for the polymerization of SCL hydroxyacyl-CoAs. Bacillus subtilis 3. S , Tran H, Steinbüchel A. Jacquel Therefore, to reduce the overall production price of PHA biopolymer, it is also important to produce PHA with high yield and enhanced productivity (Kumar et al.2015). , Gross W. Ramsay M PHAs are a class of polymeric substances made up of hydroxy acid (HA) monomeric units linked together by ester bonds and the reaction is catalyzed by the PHA synthases (Fig. Mendhulkar Unlike bacteria, only SCL-PHAs are naturally accumulated by a wide range of cyanobacterial species namely Aphanocapsa sp., Spirulina maxima (Arthrospira maxima), Synechocystis sp. This indicates that larger volumes of microalgae suspension could be recovered in less time and/or smaller settlers (Gutiérrez et al.2015b). In addition, identification of transcriptional regulators like RNA polymerase sigma factor (SigE) and a response regulator (Rre37) together with the recent major scientific breakthrough on the existence of complete Krebs cycle in cyanobacteria would be helpful in taking PHA production from cyanobacteria to a new-fangled height in near future. Autotrophic bacteria generally derive their energy from photosynthesis (Havelka et al., 1982). W J Mycoviruses. The microorganisms are: 1. , Xiang W, Fan Jet al. Valappil To date, the construction, operation and maintenance of closed photobioreactors are comparatively more expensive over open pond culture system, but have not been engineered to the level of other reactors in commercial practice and therefore, there might be prospects toward substantial price diminution. , Yu J, Solomon BO.

A Photobioreactors, designed by Photon System Instruments, are found to be flexible as per the needs of cultivation process and the desired species (Czech Republic 2015). , Niebelschütz H, Braunegg G. Kumar K Significant advances have been made in cyanobacterial biotechnology in the last few years. Panda A Further enhancement of PHB accumulation might be possible by liberating the SigE factor from ChlH regulation and/or overexpressing SigE in the ΔsigBCD (Pollari et al.2011). Algae 6. Request Permissions. , Brune D, Vermaas FD. Nevertheless, the time-course study of S. obliquus and Chlorella vulgaris showed that the growth pattern in the fresh N 11 medium and the adjusted medium was comparable (Koley et al.2017). Likewise, P(3HB-co-3HV) co-polymer production stimulated up to 58 and 60% (dcw) with the productivity of 1.68 and 1.24 mg l−1 h−1, respectively, under phosphorus and nitrogen deficiencies with supplementations of 0.4% acetate and 0.4% valerate in Nostoc muscorum Agardh (Bhati and Mallick 2012). , Imashimizu M, Seki Aet al. Class III PHA synthases represented by bacterium Allochromatium vinosum are heteromeric, needing two subunits of ∼40 kDa each, encoded by phaC and phaE genes. Escherichia coli 6. Material properties of cyanobacterial PHAs and their comparison with the commercially available PHAs (modified from Singh et al. In conclusion, PHA research is not just a matter of finding the right type of biomass and transforming it to bioplastic, but it must also be cost-effectively sustainable on large scale. Mycobacterium tuberculosis 8. Characteristics of Monera Monera (Monos – single) includes prokaryotes and shows the following characters : (1) They are typically unicellular organisms (but one group is mycelial). D This is a promising outcome improving microalgal biomass recovery. 3,000 new books annually, covering a wide range of subjects including biomedicine and the life sciences, clinical medicine, TV In this study the unicellular cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. The human population of our planet is projected to reach ~9.7 billion by 2050, and majority of this increased population would be contributed by developing countries of Asia and Africa (DESA UN, 2015). Similarly, the efficiency of potato starch as flocculant was evaluated on microalgal biomass in which low starch doses of 5–60 mg l−1 enabled high biomass recovery >92% (Gutiérrez et al.2015a). , Ferrer I, García Jet al. MA 19, Gloeothece sp. , Foubert I, Meesschaert Bet al. Thus, with the purpose of decreasing the use of toxic solvents including other chemical substances, innovative strategies involving quick extraction approaches by means of enzymatic/chemical disruption of biomass, elevated temperature and pressure and mechanical techniques for cell disruption are contemporarily thoroughly examined for different PHAs accumulating eubacterial and archaeal species (Jacquel et al.2008; Koller, Niebelschütz and Braunegg 2013a,b; Madkour et al.2013; Riedel et al.2013; Samorì et al.2015). , Fernie AR, Araujo WL.

However, the flocculants-free medium could not be achieved, which would cause water pollution. SP PCC 6803 (Fig. Development and establishment of such strategies/technologies lead to enhanced PHA productivity in cyanobacteria as reduction in time period enhances the rate of PHA productivity and thus, paving the way toward the development and exploitation of a specific cyanobacterial strain/species as cost-effective PHAs producing industrial strain in near future. Miyake Monshupanee M The Archaeplastida (or kingdom Plantae sensu lato) are a major group of autotrophic eukaryotes, comprising the red algae (Rhodophyta), the green algae, ... or Biliphytes are a phylum of marine unicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes with a size of less than about 3 micrometers. The influence of the producing organism on the economics of PHA production is indicated by the productivity, which is dependent on factors such as cyanobacterial growth rate, the rate of PHA accumulation and the end concentration of cell biomass in the culture. , Lee SY. Treatment of waste water is done by HETEROTROPHIC MICROBES naturally present in the sewage. have also concluded that the biomass recovery from fresh and adjusted media were comparable (Wu et al.2012; Liu et al. Chen Ans: Bacteria is widely distributed in nature and found almost everywhere. ©2000-2020 ITHAKA. Nevertheless, PHA accumulation in cyanobacteria based on the cell biomass and volumetric productivity is critically lower than the heterotrophic bacteria. , He Y, Wu Yet al. R Lynd Two kinds of mass cultivation systems are available nowadays, namely closed photobioreactors and open pond culture system. , Ena A, Guastini Met al. For instance, the transcriptional regulators such as RNA polymerase sigma factor (SigE) and a response regulator (Rre37), which control genes of sugar catabolism in Synechocystis PCC 6803, have been identified (Osanai et al. Figure 3 depicts the scanning electron micrographs of the upper membrane surface of PHB, P(3HB-co-12% 3HV) and P(3HB-co-25% 3HV) from Aulosira fertilissima. S AJ 1/2, MANAGEMENT OF BIOLOGICAL NITROGEN FIXATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE PRODUCTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS (July 1995). S , Rantamäki S, Huokko Tet al. For instance, the requirement of organic carbon substrate in cyanobacteria is significantly lower (∼0.4%) over the heterotrophic bacteria in which supplement of 4%–5% organic substrate has been reported (Chen et al.2001; Shang, Jiang and Chang 2003). They may be autotrophic or heterotrophic in their mode of nutrition. , Incharoensakdi A, Lindblad Pet al. (Takahashi et al.1998; Wu, Shen and Wu 2002; Sharma and Mallick 2005a,b; Mallick et al.2007; Toh et al.2008; Haase, Huchzermeyer and Rath 2012; Ansari and Fatma 2016; Khetkorn et al.2016; Monshupanee, Nimdach and Incharoensakdi 2016; Mendhulkar and Shetye 2017). Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Madison (1992) reported that cells with a disproportion in the ratio of carbon: nitrogen or NADPH: ATP accompanied with deficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively, are in fact accountable for the stimulation of PHB accumulation. It was further presumed that the aspartate transaminase reactions or operation of the glyoxylate shunt was responsible for closing this cycle (Steinhauser, Fernie and Araujo 2012). In a recent study, it was reported that the salinity may have a more or less impact on flocculation efficiency of algal biomass depending on the algal species to be treated (Perez et al.2017). The overexpression of sigE in Synechocystis PCC 6803 increased the transcription of genes of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and also of glycogen catabolism, and altered the metabolite levels like acetyl CoA, citrate, and succinate of the Krebs cycle, which in turn increases the PHB accumulation during nitrogen starvation (Osanai et al. Moreover, the co-polymer can be tailor-made simply by varying the pH and temperature of the culture conditions (Samantaray and Mallick 2015b). physics, engineering, mathematics, computer sciences, and economics. A lower amount of digesting substance could be able to recover PHA materials of the cells having a sufficient PHA content. However, the field is still immature, and many challenges remain. In another study, the treatment of natural flocculants allowed to attain over 90% of microalgal biomass recovery with low doses of 10 and 50 mg l−1 for Ecotan and Tanfloc, respectively. LL Biofertilizers contain microorganisms that are able to activate a biological process which stimulates the development of plants and ensures healthy growth. J The photosynthetically fixed carbon in cyanobacteria is generally utilized toward biomass production or accumulated as glycogen (Stal and Moezelaar 1997). The maintenance of monoculture and improving productivity are the main bottlenecks for this system. This book provides in-depth information on basic and applied aspects of biofuels production from algae. Therefore, cost-effective PHA production can be anticipated. , Nimdach P, Incharoensakdi A. Morales MA19. , Foubert I, Muylaert K. Vincenzini 2013; Ummalyma et al.2016). Spirillum and Chlorobium are the photoautotrophs whereas Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are the chemoautotrophs. Nevertheless, the large-scale cyanobacterial culture is usually conducted at outdoor open pond systems and dependent on natural light. M Xiong , Neilson A, Kunisawa Ret al. Zhang PCC6803, where the aim was to enhance acetyl-CoA level directly from CO2 to rewire carbon flux toward the native PHB biosynthesis route. The downstream metabolites of sugar catabolism are the precursors for the PHAs/biofuels including other bulk chemicals, and an understanding of metabolic sugar regulation would, therefore, lead to improvements in productive capacity and chemical variety (Oliver et al.2016). Therefore, such enzymes are classified sometimes as class IV PHA synthases.

Bhati ... Aulosira… For example, a productivity of 4.9 g PHB l−1 h−1 is the maximum value registered so far with the lowest production price of $2.6 kg−1 PHB and attained by the fed-batch culture of Alcaligenes latus (Wang and Lee 1997). One example is the cultivation of the diazotrophic cyanobacterial strain Aulosira fertilisima under a circulatory aquaculture system that resulted in increased dissolved oxygen levels during the cultivation period and the complete removal of nutrients, such as ammonia, nitrite, and phosphate, within 15 days of cultivation, yielding an average PHB content of 80–92 g m −3 . PCC 7002, the discontinuity in the Krebs cycle between 2-oxoglutaric acid and succinic acid was shown to replace with 2-oxoglutaric acid decarboxylase and succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase enzymes (Fig. , Shen ZY, Wu QY. A R Drosg In PHA biosynthesis, PHA synthase acts as a natural catalyst for PHA polymerization process using the (R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA as substrate. 1992; Miyake et al.1997).

Some autotrophic and many heterotrophic marine bacteria are capable of utilising ammonia to synthesise their proteins. In spite of the most efficient microbes in producing PHAs, the commercial PHA production by the bacterial species/strains is expensive in which the organic carbon source was responsible for ∼30% to 50% of the total PHA biosynthesis price (Lee and Choi 1998; Lynd, Wyman and Gerngross 1999; Braunegg, Bona and Koller 2004). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 62:4395-4400. Wang Flocculation of cell biomass could be attained with addition of inorganic salts such as Al2(SO4)3, AlCl3, FeCl3, and so on (Papazi, Makridis and Divanach 2010), cationic starch (Vandamme et al.2010), chitosan (Morales, de la Noüe and Picard 1985; Lavoie and de la Noüe 2009), etc. , Fatma T. Balaji L , Passos F, Ferrer Iet al. This study resulted into production of PHB with 232 mg l−1, ∼12% of dry cell weight (dcw) and a productivity of 0.3 mg l−1 h−1, the highest PHB production value reported directly from CO2. AJ , Lo CW, Wei YHet al. , Zhu Y, Huang Wet al.
