The highest volatile fatty acids (VFAs) concentration from palm oil mill effluent (POME) treated by anaerobic fermentation was achieved for a 1-day process when the main acids used were acetic, propionic and butyric acids. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production with VFAs from POME as precursors in the fed-batch mode has advantages over batch mode, both in terms of its productivity and 3HV (3-hydroxyvalerate) composition in the produced polymer. With the fed batch, the productivity increased to 343% and contained more 3HV than those of the batch. The structures of the PHA were identified by different methods and they supported each other; the resulting products consisted of functional groups of 3HB (3-hydroxybutyrate) and 3HV.

Identification of Volatile Fatty Acids from Palm Oil Mill Effluent for Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production by Ralstonia eutropha JMP 134 Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a bioplastic which is derived from bacterial fermentation. In this study, PHA is produced by utilizing Ralstonia eutropha JMP 134 and volatile fatty acids (VFA) from palm oil industrial wastewater as a precursor. The aim of this research is to study the effect of carbon source, addition time, and VFA concentration on PHA production by fermentation using Ralstonia eutropha JMP 134 in batch. PHA and dry cell weight (DCW) concentrations obtained by adding VFA from palm oil industrial wastewater in batches at 20 and 40 hours were 0.014 g/L.hour, 2.76 g/L and 3.66 g/L, respectively. The results also showed that the time of adding VFA greatly affected cell growth, with the best addition time being after the 20th hour. Keywords: palm oil industrial wastewater, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), batch, Ralstonia eutropha JMP 134, volatile fatty acids (VFA) Abstrak Polihidroksialkanoat (PHA) adalah bioplastik yang diproses melalui proses fermentasi dengan mikroba.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are storage granules of most bacteria which can be used as biodegradable plastics but the production cost of PHA is twice than petrochemical based synthetic polymers because of substrate cost. The use of alternative renewable and cheap carbon sources are the best option, one such is palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME contains carbon source like volatile fatty acids and other organic components which can be utilised by microorganisms to accumulate PHA. The use of subinhibitory concentration of antibiotics like clindamycin may have an influence on PHA accumulation. In this study, 31 organisms were isolated from POME spillage area and subjected to PHA production. Seven organisms were found to accumulate PHA, which was confirmed by Nile blue staining method, the accumulated PHA was extracted and characterized using HPLC. All the organisms were found to produced poly hydroxy butyrate (PHB). Amongst all the seven isolates, two organisms namely Bacillus sp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were found to accumulate more PHA. Both the organisms were subjected to produce PHA in POME and clindamycin containing media. PHA production condition was optimized using RSM.

Bioplastic Polyhidroxyalknoate (PHA) is a polyester type bioplastic with physicochemical properties resemble to those of polypropilen from petroleum. PHA production was investigated to determine the effect of carbon source on the fermentation process by Ralstonia eutropha. Specifically, Ralstonia eutropha was cultivated in a batch bioreactor to show the dynamics of P(3HB-co-3HV) copolymer production from glucose or fructose as C source. In adition, the effect of volatile fatty acids addition, as stimulator to the copolymer production, was also studied. The operating conditions in a 7 L bioreactor were at temperature 30 oC and pH 7.0. The concentration of carbon source glucose or fructose was 40 g/L, and after 20 hour fermentation, volatile fatty acids were added. With volatile fatty acids addition, the resulting fructose fermentation had PHA content of 32.78%, in which the HV percentage was 11.78%. Meanwhile, the fermentation of glucose, stimulated by volatile fatty acids, gave PHA as much as 20.19% with HV percentage of 8.71%. Therefore,, the Ralstonia eutropha fermentation of fructose as the carbon source gave a higher yield than glucose.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh sumber karbon terhadap poduksi PHA yang dilakukan dengan proses fermentasi menggunakan Ralstonia eutropha. Ralstonia eutropha dikultivasi dalam bioreaktor batch untuk mempelajari dinamika produksi kopolimer P(3HB-co-3HV) dari sumber karbon glukosa atau fruktosa, serta mempelajari pengaruh sumber stimulator asam lemak volatil. Kondisi operasional fermentasi menggunakan bioreaktor 7 L adalah pada temperatur 30 oC dan pH 7. Konsentrasi sumber karbon glukosa atau fruktosa yang digunakan adalah 40 gr/L, dan setelah 20 jam fermentasi ditambahkan asam lemak volatil yang berfungsi sebagai stimulator dalam produksi P(3HB-co-3HV). Panen sel Ralstonia eutropha dilakukan setelah 60 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan fermentasi Ralstonia eutropha dengan substrat fruktosa dan asam lemak volatil sebagai stimulator mempunyai kandungan PHA sebesar 32,78%, dengan kadar HV 11,78%. Pada pemberian substrat glukosa dan asam lemak volatil menunjukkan kandungan PHA sebesar 20,19%, dengan kadar HV 8.71%. Jadi fermentasi Ralstonia eutropha dengan menggunakan substrat fruktosa memberikan yield yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan menggunakan substrat glukosa.Kata Kunci: Asam lemak volatil, fruktosa, glukosa, PHA, P(3HB-co-3HV), Ralstonia eutropha
