- Abstract
Fat derived from the waste of the Baltic sprat (Sprattus sprattus) canning industry was studied as a carbon substrate for the synthesis of single cell protein and degradable bioplastics, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), in the culture of three bacterial strains: Cupriavidus necator B‑5786, C. necator B‑8562, and C. necator B‑10646. The fatty substrate used in the present study contained 95 % of total lipids, 4 % of proteins, and 1 % of carbohydrates. Sixteen fatty acids (FAs) of lipids were identified, with palmitic (28.0 %), oleic (25.3 %), and docosahexaenoic (16.7 %) acids prevailing. The modes of cell cultivation were varied and the concentration of nitrogen in the medium was changed to direct metabolism towards synthesis of single cell protein or reserve PHAs. On complete nutrient medium, all strains synthesized high- protein biomass containing at least 70 and 50 % of “crude” protein and protein, respectively, which were complete in amino acids, including essential ones. When bacterial growth was limited by nitrogen, high (up to 60–70 %) yields of PHAs were obtained. The PHAs were represented by 3-component copolymers poly(3-hydroxybutyrtae-co‑3-hydroxyvalerate-co‑3-hydroxyhaxanoate) (P(3HB‑co‑3HV‑co‑3HHx)) with 0.20–0.31 mol.% of 3HV and 0.04–0.07 mol.% of 3HHx and with a weight average molecular weight of at least 600 kDa and a degree of crystallinity of about 70 %. Based on these parameters, the fat- containing waste of the canning industry can be regarded as a promising renewable substrate for the biotechnological production of single cell protein and biodegradable “green” plastics – polyhydroxyalkanoates
