摘要：
A strain coded AS 1.2343 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil in an oil-field in North China Tianjian City and it was identified as Pseudomonas nitroreducens. The strain demonstrated some unusual ability to synthesize polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) homopolymer from medium-chain-length (mcl) fatty acids including hexanoate and octanoate. While polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) consisting of mcl hydroxyalkanoate (HA) monomers such as hydroxyoctanoate (HO) and hydroxydecanoate (HD) were the major compositions when butyrate, decanoate, lauric acid and tetradecanoic acid were used as substrates for the cell growth, respectively. PHA was accumulated up to 77% of the cell dry weight when growth was conducted in lauric acid, it appeared that the HA contents in the PHA would not be much affected by the changing of the lauric acid concentration. Varying the concentration ratio of butyrate to octanoate could change the composition of PHA accumulated by the strain. Yet PHB homopolymer was always the only polyester synthesized by the strain, regardless of the octanoate concentration change. Additionally, the ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C/N) in butyrate media was found to have effects on the PHA monomer content, as C/N increased from 2 to 100, content of HB decreased from 100% to 7%. PHA polyester synthesized by cells of Pseudomonas nitroreducens AS 1.2343 was a blend polymers consisting of acetone-insoluble HB and acetone-soluble mcl HA monomers.
