✦ Synopsis
The gas chromatographic method for the determination of poly-/3-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) consists of a mild acid or alkaline methanolysis of poly-~-hydroxybutyric acid directly without previous extraction of PHB from the cells; this is followed by gas chromatography of the 3-hydroxybutyric acid methylester. The method is characterized by high accuracy and excellent reproducibility, permitting determinations as low as 10 -5 g/1. Only 4 h is required from sampling from the fermenter till completion of the PHB determination.
