FIG. 1.
Time course profiles for growth-associated PHA synthesis in P. fluorescens BM07 grown in PHA synthesis mineral salts medium containing 70 mM fructose and 1.0 g of ammonium sulfate/liter at 30°C. PHA formation was monitored by determining the content of PHA in cells by using a sulfuric acid-methanol reaction mixture and GC determination of the resulting 3-hydroxy-methylesters.
