ABSTRACT: Polynucleotides, polypeptides, polysaccharides are the polymers seen in living organisms. Many biopolymers are important reserve compounds that are stored in the cytoplasm as insoluble inclusions. Likewise Polyhydroxyalkanoates are natural, renewable bio poly esters accumulated in bacteria in the presence of limited nitrogen sources and higher concentration of carbon source. In this study, PHA accumulation pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. The PHA was optimized for various carbon sources, incubation time, pH and temperature. Analytical techniques like FTIR and GC-MS were done to determine the types of monomer present in the biopolyester.

KEYWORDS: PHA – Polyhydroxyalkanoates; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; GC-MS; FTIR
