Biodegradability of the $poly({\beta}-hydroxybutyrate-co-3 -hydroxyvalerate)$ [PHB/V] containing 0, 10 and 15mol% hydroxyvalerate [HV] was studied. Bioderadability of PHB/V was evaluated at $30^{\circ}C$ for 58 days and $55^{\circ}C$ for 33 days by monitoring the time-dependent changes in weight loss(erosion) of aerobic conditions in a temperature-controlled microcosms containing the earthworm cast($30^{\circ}C$) and compost ($55^{\circ}C$). It was found that PHB/V biodegradability occurred with increasing HV monomer concentration from 0 mol% to 15 mol%.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), poly(3HB-co-3HV), copolyesters, with 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) contents ranging from 17 to 60 mol%, were produced by Alcaligenes sp. MT-16, and their biocompatibility evaluated by the growth of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and the adsorption of blood proteins and platelets onto their film surfaces. The number of CHO cells that adhered to and grew on these films was higher with increasing 3HV content. In contrast, the tendency for blood proteins and platelets to adhere to the copolyester surfaces significantly decreased with increasing 3HV content. Examination of the surface morphology using atomic force microscopy revealed that the surface roughness was an important factor in determining the biocompatibility of theses copolyesters. The results obtained in this study suggest that poly(3HB-co-3HV) copolyesters, with >30 mol% 3HV, may be useful in biocompatible biomedical applications.

- The further study for the identification of the previously reported pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophic bacterium (PPFM) GL-10 was carried out. The PPFM GL-10 was Gram nagative, rod, and motile by a single polarly inserted flagellum. The colonies were smooth, pink, circular, along with convex with entire margin. The isolate could utilize C1 compounds and a variety of multicarbon substrates as sole carbon and energy source. The isolate was obligately aerobic, and exhibited both catalase and oxidase activities. The deoxyribonucleic acid base composition was 65-67 mol% guanine plus cytosine. The isolate was mostly identical with Methylobacterium extorquens and named Methylobacterium sp. strain GL-10. Methylobacterium GL-10 accumulated a copolyester of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate (poly-3HB/3 HV) when grown in nitrogen-free culture media containing sodium propionate as substrate at the second polyester accumulation stage. The composition of copolyester, as determined from $^1h$ NMR spectra, was 23 mol% of 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV).

Fed-batch fermentation was used to produce the high concentrations of poly-$\beta $-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and poly-$\beta $-(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHB/V). Specific growth rate ($\mu $), yield of cell from glucose (Y$_{x/s}$) were calculated from the two samples in 3 to 5 hours of interval and they were reflected on the determination of glucose feeding rate to maintain the glucose concentration at around 10 g/l in the culture broth. PHB was accumulated after the nitrogen became limited at 60 g/l of dry cell weight by changing ammonia water to 4N-NaOH solution. As results, the final dry cell weight (DCW) of 170 g/l, PHB of 115 g/l were obtained in 50 hours and the overall productivity was 2.4 g/l$\cdot $h. After PHB accumulation, cosubstrate of glucose and propionic acid (PA) was fed to accumulate PHB/V. But, PA feeding rate was decreased from 3 g/l$\cdot $h to 1 g/l$\cdot $h to prevent PA from accumulating to high level in the broth, which is very inhibitory to the cells. As results, DCW, PHB and PHV were 147.5 g/l, 90 g/l and 8 mole % of hydroxyvalerate, respectively.

본 연구는 poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/그래핀 복합체의 제조 및 특성에 관한 연구이다. 투입하는 그래핀의 함량에 따른 복합체의 전기적 물성, 소수성, 및 열적 성질에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 표면주사전자현미경 연구결과 PHBV 고분자 matrix에 판상의 그래핀이 고르게 잘 분산되었음을 확인하였다. X-선 회절 연구와 시차열량주사계 분석을 통하여 그래핀을 첨가할수록 PHBV의 결정도를 증가시켰고, 투입하는 그래핀의 함량이 증가할수록 복합체의 열적 안정성, 소수성 및 전기전도도 등이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Biodegradable wafers were prepared with poly (hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV;5, 10, and 15 mole% for 3-hydroxyvalerate) by simple heat pressing method for the sustained release of antibiotic agent, gentamicin sulfate (GS) to investigate the possibility of the treatment for osteomyelitis. The effects of hydroxyvalerate (HV) content, thickness of wafers, various types of additives such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), and different initial drug loading ratio on the release profile have been investigated. In vitro release studies showed that different release patterns and rates could be achieved by simply modifying factors in the preparation conditions. PHBV wafers with 3 mm thickness, 10% of GS initial loading, 15% of HV content and addition of 5% of SDS and HPC were free from initial burst and a near-zero-order sustained release was observed for over 30 days. It might be suggested that the mechanisms of G5 release may be more predominant simple dissolution and diffusion of GS than erosion of PHBV in our system.

The readily fermentable carbon sources in swine were acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid at the average concentrations of 7.2 g/L, 2.2 g/L and 2.7 g/L, respectively. The swine waste also contained excess nitrogen and other mineral sources. In shake flask experiments, the optimal range of cell growth for Azotobacter vinelandii UWD were 1.0∼3.5 g/L of acetic acid, 0.7∼2.0 g/L of propionic acid and 0.5∼2.0 g/L of butyric acid. A mixture of these three acids simulating two times diluted swine waste supported the best cell growth but the amount of carbon sources was limited. In shake flask and fermentor experiments, an addition of 30 g/L of glucose increased the final cell dry weight 8 times while the final poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) concentration increased 86 times compared with using acid mixture only. A. vinelandii UWD preferred organic acids in the sequence of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and valeric acid.

In this study, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite films containing various content of GO were prepared using solution casting method. The effect of GO content on Young's modulus and dispersion of GO in PHBV matrix was investigated. Also, the thermomechanical properties, oxygen transmission rates and hydrolytic degradation of PHBV/GO nanocomposite films were studied. The addition of GO into PHBV improves the Young's modulus and decreases thermal expansion coefficient. The improvement can be mainly attributed to good dispersion of GO and interfacial interactions between PHBV and GO. Furthermore, PHBV/GO nanocomposite films show good oxygen barrier properties. PHBV/GO nanocomposites show lower hydrolytic degradation rates with increasing content of GO.

활성슬러지로부터 특이한 조성의 polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)를 생합성하는 Pseudomonas aeruginosa P-5를 분리하였다. 이 균주는 nonanoic acid나 heptanoic acid와 같은 홀수개의 탄소수를 가지는 지방산을 단일 탄소원으로 공급해주었을 경우, 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV)와 medium-chain-length (MCL) 3-hydroxyalkanoates 단위체로 이루어진 공중합체를 생산하였다. 공중합체 내 3HV의 함량은 valeric acid와 같은 보조기질을 공급함으로써 증가시킬 수 있었으며, 2 g/L nonanoic acid와 1 g/L valeric acid로 이루어진 혼합기질로부터 3HV의 함량이 26 mol%에 달하는 공중합체를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 공중합체는 결정성이 매우 낮아 점착성 고분자로서의 성질을 보였다. P. aeruginosa P-5 균주는 MCL-PHA synthase 유전자(phaC1, phaC2)를 가지고 있는 반면에 SCL-PHA synthase 유전자는 결여되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 P. aeruginosa P-5 균주의 MCL-PHA synthase는 MCL(R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs 뿐만 아니라 (R)-3-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA를 기질로 인지하는 특이한 기질특이성을 갖는 것으로 사료된다.

For the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(P(3HB-co-3HV)) from butyric acid and valeric acid, 10 strains of bacteria capable of producing P(3HB-co-3HV) were isolated from soil. Among them, the strain HJ-067 showed the best ability of producing P(3HB-co-3HV), and was indentified as a Azotobacter sp. For the production of P(3HB-co-3HV), the optimum concentrations of butyric and valeric acid were 3.0g/l, respectively. The most effective nitrogen source was $(NH_4)_{2}SO_4$ at an optimum concentration of 0.75g/l, which was equivalent to 21.36 in C/N ratio. Deficiency of the cationic metal ions ($Zn^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Mn^{2+}$) in the proguction medium had stimulating effect on P(3HB-co-3HV) accumulation, especially in the manganese. deficient medium. The optimum temperature for P(3HB-co-3HV) production was 27$^{\circ}C$ and the optimum initial pH was 7.0. Under the optimum conditions, 1.82g/l of P(3HB-co-3HV) and 3.00g/l of dry biomass were produced after 36 hour cultivation, and the P(3HB-co-3HV) yield and HV% were 60.60% (w/w), 15.92%, respectively.
