Production of biodegradable polyster (PHA) from wastewater of olive oil mills by recombinant microorganisms

This study demonstrated that microorganisms could recycle waste organic molecules to commercially useful and environmentally innocuous products, such as poly – hydrozyalkanoatcs (PHA), and simultaneously treat wastewater effectively to meet discharge standard . the nutritionallu vcrsatile pseudomonas putida had showed to grow in olive waste water celled “alpechina” which is toxic many other microorganisms. The transformation with the plasmid Psk 2665 , Harboring alcaligenes eutrophus genes needed for synthesis of poly (3- hidroxybutiric acid ) allow pscudomonas strain to grow in high concentration of the wastewater “alpachino”accumulating biofegradable thermoplastic.
