Zur Kinetik des Wachstums und der Speicherung von Poly-D(−)-3-hydroxybuttersäure bei Alcaligenes latus

Alcaligenes latus strain DSM 1123 has been tested for the production of Poly-D(?3)-3-hydroxybutyric acid using sucrose as the only carton source. The strain is capable of accumulating the polymer associated to the growth very fast and lup to high concentrations in the biomass. Alcaligenes lotus seems to be very interesting for the production of Poly-D(?)-3-hydroxybutyrate in a cheaper and easier way as with other organisms discussed for the biotechnological process in the past.
