Minimizing the Lag Phase of Cupriavidus necator Growth under Autotrophic, Heterotrophic, and Mixotrophic Conditions
Abdelrahman Amer, Younggy Kim
Abstract
The current work investigated the inhibition of organic and gaseous substrates on the microbial adaption of Cupriavidus necator under several metabolic conditions commonly employed for commercial polyhydroxyalkanoate production. We also proposed a two-stage cultivation system to minimize the lag time required to change over between the heterotrophic, autotrophic, and mixotrophic pathways.
