Abstract excerpt
A bacterium capable of accumulating polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), Cupriavidus sp. KKU38 (GenBank Accession no. AM260479), was isolated from cassava starch wastewater of cassava starch manufacturing process. KKU38 can utilize glucose, fructose, maltose and xylose for PHA production. Glucose was the most suitable sugar for PHA production giving the highest PHA content and yield of 73.88% and 0.16 g/g-total sugar...
