What is it about?
The present work involved screening of a previously reported carbon concentrating oleaginous bacterial strain Serratia sp. ISTD04 for production of PHA and optimization of process parameters for enhanced PHA and biomass generation.

Why is it important?
The world today is facing twin crises of rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emission leading to climate change as well as environmental deterioration by accumulation of non-biodegradable compounds such as plastics.
Perspectives
The present work is the first report of production of homopolymer poly (3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHV), a type of mcl-PHA along with carbon sequestration by a Serratia sp. The GC–MS results confirmed the production of 3-Hydroxyvalerate, which is a monomer of PHV, by Serratia sp. ISTD04 cultured in a mineral media supplemented with bicarbonate and Glucose as carbon sources.
