Overview

This review demonstrates optimized fermentation methods for PHB yield in Bacillus megaterium, highlighting economic advantages and substrate variability.

Key Points

  • Bacillus megaterium can yield up to 78.4% PHB using various low-cost substrates, enhancing bioplastic production.
  • Utilization of substrates like molasses and crude glycerol leads to reduced production costs by 30% compared to competitors.
  • The ongoing assessment covers fermentation strategies and genetic modifications that boost PHB production efficiency.
  • Downstream recovery and feedstock pretreatment remain challenges that could impact the sustainability of PHB production.
