Aim: Taking into account that a novel strain of Bacillus megaterium was
isolated from Uyuni salt lake (Bolivia) in a previous work, the objectives of
this new study were to determine the maximal Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate
production potential of B. megaterium strain uyuni S29 in an industrial
conventional media, the possibility that the strain accumulates different types
of polyhydroxyalkanoates, the cellular morphology during the biosynthesis
process and the characterization of the produced biopolymers.
