| description |
In this study, restaurant waste was used as a substrate for the production of lactic acid and
polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) by Ralstonia eutropha (formerly known as Alcaligenes
eutrophus). PHA production was achieved via a two-stage process; lactic acid
production from restaurant waste followed by PHA production from lactic acid. In the
first stage, the study was focused on optimization of culture condition for lactic acid
production in batch anaerobic treatment. These treatments were carried out in a 2L
stirred-tank bioreactor with lL working volume. The pH was controlled using a pH
controller by adding 3M NaOH automatically. The lactic acid produced was determined
by HPLC method. Optimization for best conditions of lactic acid production were done
on temperature, duration at controlled pH 7, seeding with appropriate inoculum and
culture under sterile and non-sterile conditions. Lactic acid was dominantly produced
(70-99%) during most of the anaerobic treatments followed by acetic (1-20%), butyric (0-8%) and propionic acid (0-1%). Among the three different temperatures investigated i.e.
30°C, 37°C and 4SoC, 37°C was the best for lactic acid production (17 g/L). Studies on the effect of duration at controlled pH 7 showed that by controlling pH 7 for 12 hours,
higher lactic acid was produced (40 g/L). Production of lactic acid was reduced when pH
7 was controlled for longer period due to methanogenesis. Seeding with Lactobacillus
rhamnosus results in higher production of lactic acid (67 g/L). Increased concentration of
lactic acid was detected under sterile condition. In this study, the maximum
concentration of lactic acid produced from restaurant waste was 97.7 g/L when the
temperature was controlled at 37°C, controlled pH 7 throughout the experiment and
seeded with L. rhamnosus under sterile condition.
The supernatant collected from the treatment of highest lactic acid production was
used in the second stage for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoate. PHA was produced
by Ralstonia eutropha strain ATCC 17699 in a 2L bioreactor (l L working volume) in
batch culture, using lactic acid as the sole carbon source during the production phase.
The bacteria was first precultivated in a nutrient-rich medium for 24 h before inoculation

as the carbon source. Initial inoculum cell density was kept high at 4-5 g/L. The
maximum PHA concentration obtained after 70h was about 10 g/L, corresponding to 97% (gig) of cell dry weight. |
