Factors Affecting Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Production from Oil Palm Frond Juice by Cupriavidus necator (CCUG52238^T)

Table 4

Effect of DOT (%) level on biosynthesis of P(3HB)^a.

DOT (%)	Maximum CDW (g/L)	Maximum total P(3HB) (g/L)	Maximum P(3HB) content (wt.%)^b
20	9.55	3.93	46
30	11.37	4.78	44
40	12.52	3.38	25
50	12.81	2.37	15

^aExperiments were conducted in 2-L bioreactor (1 L working volume) by batch mode using OPF juice with initial total sugars of 16 g/L as substrates.
^bDetermination by GC from freeze dried samples.
