Synthesis of Poly-(R-hydroxyalkanoates) by Cupriavidus necator ATCC 17699 Using Mexican Avocado (Persea americana) Oil as a Carbon Source

Figure 2

Profiles of fructose (grey circles), ammonium (green circles), biomass (orange circles), and poly-R-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) (blue circles) production during the cultivation of Cupriavidus necator on fructose and avocado oil (20% v/v) in three-stage fermentation. Stage 1: batch cultivation (a), Stage 2: fed-batch stage (additions indicated by black arrows) (b), and Stage 3: PHA accumulation (c). Oil addition occurs at 30 h.
