also reported the Enterococcus italicus
sp. in mixed consortia in waste water treatment and produced PHA up to 71.4%. During their study of influence of substrate
load and nutrient concentration (nitrogen and phosphorous)
on PHA production using waste water as substrate andmixed
culture as biocatalyst, they found that PHA accumulation
was high at higher substrate load (40.3% of dry cell weight
(DCW)), low nitrogen (45.1% DCW), and low phosphorous
(54.2% DCW) conditions by mixed consortia containg in
Enterococcus sp
