✦ Synopsis

When Alcaliaenes eutrophus biomass was treated with a surfactant and then washed with hypochlorite, the recovered poly-3-hydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) granules were 97 to 98% pure with a molecular weight (4) between 730,000 and 790,000, depending on the surfactant used.

When treated with only surfactant, the q was slightly higher than that obtained with the surfactant-hypochlorite treatment but the purity was 10% lower. PHA of higher purity but lower M,, was obtained with just a hypochlorite treatment.

Recombinant strains of Pseudomonas oleovorans, which harbour the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-bio- synthetic genes of Alcaligenes eutrophus, accumulated poly(hydroxyalkanoates), composed of 3-hydroxybutyrate(3HB), 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) and 3-hydroxyoctanoate (3HO), up to 70% of the cell dry weight if
