To investigate the effect of carbon sources on the production
of PHA, different carbon sources were provided at 1.5 %
(v/v) of oleic acid, sun flower oil and 60, 30, 20 mM (v/v) of
caprylic acid, capric acid and undecylenic acid respectively in
standard PHA mineral medium. Figure 2a shows the time
course of biomass production (CDW) by the isolate with
different carbon sources.
