We are glad to share our latest article published in Process Biochemistry:

Modelling growth-arrested production of polyhydroxybutyrate by Cupriavidus necator DSM 545

Link

In this work, we develop and validate a kinetic model for PHB production using resting cells of Cupriavidus necator, offering insights into glucose uptake dynamics and the role of oxygen transfer limitations in bioplastic synthesis.

Key highlights:

• Resting cell strategy simplifies PHB production without active growth.

• High-yield transformation of glucose into polyhydroxybutyrate.

• Glucose uptake rate exhibits saturation, dependent on glucose.

• Establishment of a kinetic model describing substrate and product concentration dynamics
