Original Research Article Optimization and production of Polyhydroxybutarate(PHB) by Bacillus subtilis G1S1from soil (original) (raw)

This research focuses on the optimization and production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by Bacillus subtilis G1S1 isolated from soil. The paper outlines the microbial capabilities of producing biodegradable plastics, emphasizing the significance of PHB as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. Through various experiments that included screening different carbon and nitrogen sources, and utilizing techniques like FTIR spectrometry and 16S rRNA sequencing, it was determined that Bacillus subtilis G1S1 exhibits promising potential for large-scale PHB production.
