Effects of different feedingstrategies of propionic acid on the production of P(3HB-co-3HV) were investigated. A decline ofspecific synthesis rate of copolymer and the yield of 3HV unit from propionic acid were observed dueto the propionic acid accumulation in culture broth when the feeding solution with highP/G(propionic acid to glucose) ratio was employed. It was further confirmed by controlling propionicacid concentration at a low level in the separate feeding of propionic acid. An optimal feedingstrategy was demonstrated to reduce the propionic acid accumulation. The cell concentration,P(3HB-co-3HV) productivity and 3HV unit fraction reached to 163.9kg·m^(-3), 1.8kg·m^(-3)·h^(-1),and 10.6%(by mass), respectively, resulting in a yield of 0.33g HV per g propionic acid.展开更多
