Furthermore, it is possible to consider B. megaterium
strain uyuni S29 for polymer production on an industrial
scale: first, because the 70% of PHB obtained in this
fermentation is higher compared with the 60% of poly-
mer that is necessary for considering a strain suitable to
be used in an industrial process (Macrae and Wilkinson
1958; Reddy et al. 2003); and second, because industrial
fermentation conditions (the used conventional medium
and moderate salt content) were already taken into
account for the bacterium selection in the previous study
(Rodr ıguez-Contreras et al. 2013), those conditions were
maintain in this work. Thus, no additional changes in the
culture conditions are needed to adapt B. megaterium
strain uyuni S29 to the required industrial conditions for
biopolymer synthesis.
