Growth Related Production of Poly-ß-Hydroxybutyrate by Azotobacter chroococcum Soil Isolate/Mutant using N, P, and Cane Molasses
Abstract: Soil isolate Azotobacter chroococcum ABR 51 produced a large amount of Poly-ß-Hydroxybutyrate (PHB) during growth in a chemically defined medium using cane molasses as carbon source. Nutritional requirements and cultural conditions for the optimal production of PHB by this strain under laboratory conditions were determined using inorganic, complex organic nitrogen sources, phosphate, and cane molasses. Among conventional carbon sources, (2% w/v) sucrose was found to be the preferred carbohydrate source …

Water Hyacinth-Derived Biopolymers as Reinforcements for Sustainable Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Composting has gained significant attention for sustainable waste management and nutrient recycling. This study investigated the efficacy of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as a composting material to produce nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. Water hyacinth compost inoculated with nitrogen-fixing (Azotobacter chroococcum) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (Pseudomonas putida) exhibited increased nitrogen and phosphorus content compared to uninoculated compost or cattle dung compost. Wheat grown with biofertilizer-enriched water hyacinth compost displayed significantly improved grain yield, …
