Moreover, both the flocculants enhanced the settling velocity of microalgae and performing fast and efficient biomass recovery of >90% within 10 min for Ecotan and 20 min for Tanfloc in a 40 cm column, compared to 80 min for microalgal biomass sedimentation without flocculants. Integrating all these compounds under a refinery approach would certainly improve the economics of cyanobacterial PHAs. Class III PHA synthases represented by bacterium Allochromatium vinosum are heteromeric, needing two subunits of ∼40 kDa each, encoded by phaC and phaE genes. The natural incidence of PHA accumulation by the cyanobacteria is known since 1966. M

Air drying is also feasible under low moisture condition; however, this needs additional space and longer time. (Takahashi et al.1998; Wu, Shen and Wu 2002; Sharma and Mallick 2005a,b; Mallick et al.2007; Toh et al.2008; Haase, Huchzermeyer and Rath 2012; Ansari and Fatma 2016; Khetkorn et al.2016; Monshupanee, Nimdach and Incharoensakdi 2016; Mendhulkar and Shetye 2017). In addition, identification of transcriptional regulators like RNA polymerase sigma factor (SigE) and a response regulator (Rre37) together with the recent major scientific breakthrough on the existence of complete Krebs cycle in cyanobacteria would be helpful in taking PHA production from cyanobacteria to a new-fangled height in near future.

In near future, all these understanding and advancements certainly would be helpful in exploring new and economical ways for cyanobacterial PHA production. Furthermore, this PHA extraction strategy involves enormous quantities of toxic and volatile solvents that increase the total production cost with environmental hazards (Choi and Lee 1997). N
Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from CO2 has the potential to reduce the production cost of this biodegradable polyesters, and also to make the material more sustainable compared to utilization of sugar feedstocks. Further enhancement of PHB accumulation might be possible by liberating the SigE factor from ChlH regulation and/or overexpressing SigE in the ΔsigBCD (Pollari et al.2011).

, Shirai T, Iijima Het al. The PHA productivity shows significant influence on the production price in which price of polymer production decreases with improving polymer productivity. To overcome this challenge, the World Health Organization has suggested a doubling of food production by 2050, while the United Nations have suggested a 50% increase in global food production by 2030. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have received much attention in the current scenario due to their attractive material properties, namely biodegradability, biocompatibility, thermoplasticity, hydrophobicity, piezoelectricity and stereospecificity.

The influence of the producing organism on the economics of PHA production is indicated by the productivity, which is dependent on factors such as cyanobacterial growth rate, the rate of PHA accumulation and the end concentration of cell biomass in the culture. Presently, different techniques are exploited for harvesting biomass of cyanobacteria such as filtration, centrifugation, flocculation, gravity settling, and so on. Consequently, cyanobacteria are nowadays not considered for commercial production of PHAs. , Srivastava JK, Mallick Net al. The addition of bases like NaOH into the culture suspension enhanced the development of dense flocs that result in quick settling. The free-living autotrophic diazotrophs synthesise their own food either by photosynthesis using the sunlight or by chemicals. This is a good example of the advanced cultivation system, where cultivation can be attained within the temperature range of 15°C–60°C including thermophiles such as Synechococcus sp. H
, Gupta S, Panda Bet al. In cyanobacteria, physiological stresses such as nutrient limitations or deficiencies (mostly phosphorus or nitrogen limitation/deficiency) are found to direct metabolic fluxes to provoke the PHA accumulation under photoautotrophic growth environments (Miyake, Erata and Asada 1996; Nishioka et al.2001; Bhati and Mallick 2012; Samantaray and Mallick 2012). A
New strains of inoculants, including those capable of both cellulolytic and N₂-fixing activity, are needed to improve the N content of biofertilisers produced from composts. Overall, cyanobacteria are promising photosynthetic platforms for PHA production and have received increasing consideration because of recent advancements in metabolic engineering and cultivation (Oliver et al.2016). The maintenance of monoculture and improving productivity are the main bottlenecks for this system. M
JSTOR is part of ITHAKA, a not-for-profit organization helping the academic community use digital technologies to preserve the scholarly record and to advance research and teaching in sustainable ways. In conclusion, PHA research is not just a matter of finding the right type of biomass and transforming it to bioplastic, but it must also be cost-effectively sustainable on large scale. Algal capacity to grow mixtrophically during periods of low nutrient concentrations and their tolerance to extreme environmental conditions can be a competitive advantage over heterotrophs or autotrophs as bioremediation agents. Algae 6. Nevertheless, the large-scale cyanobacterial culture is usually conducted at outdoor open pond systems and dependent on natural light. A high PHA content is also responsible for reducing the overall production cost. TV
In PHA biosynthesis, PHA synthase is the main polymerizing enzyme that determines the kind of PHA to be produced by the microorganism including cyanobacteria. , Mathew AK, Pandey Aet al. These enzymes are responsible for the polymerization of SCL hydroxyacyl-CoAs. , Obias V, Gonyer Ket al. Such assumption led to the conclusion that the intracellular depolymerization of biopolymeric PHB could contribute a little extent to the cell metabolism as acetyl-CoA molecules formed by the hydrolysis of PHB could be employed neither toward the production of vast energy nor toward the formation of various cell constituents (Smith 1982). For instance, the transcriptional regulators such as RNA polymerase sigma factor (SigE) and a response regulator (Rre37), which control genes of sugar catabolism in Synechocystis PCC 6803, have been identified (Osanai et al. Profound spur of PHA biosynthesis was, however, detected under mixotrophic growth conditions with organic carbon substrates namely acetate, citrate, glucose, propionate, etc. , Neilson A, Kunisawa Ret al. Articles discussing a major molecular or mathematical component also fall within the scope of the journal. The most apposite starch dose was found to be 25 mg l−1 that resulted into biomass recovery >95%. This study resulted into production of PHB with 232 mg l−1, ∼12% of dry cell weight (dcw) and a productivity of 0.3 mg l−1 h−1, the highest PHB production value reported directly from CO2. Stupendously, high intracellular amounts of PHB accumulation are only recently reported in diazotrophic cyanobacterium Aulosira fertilissima in which the PHB pool boosted up to 85% of (dcw) with the productivity of 13.3 mg l−1 h−1 under 0.26% citrate, 0.28% acetate and 5.58 mg l−1 K2HPO4-supplemented condition (Samantaray and Mallick 2012). (2016) conducted study to evaluate the settling velocity distribution of microalgal biomass with and without flocculant (Tanfloc SG), where a settler designed with a critical settling velocity of 1 m h−1 would reach biomass recovery as high as 90%–94% with flocculant compared to 77%–88% without flocculant.

Oscillatoria, … Updates on cyanobacterial PHAs research during the last decade. Photobioreactors, designed by Photon System Instruments, are found to be flexible as per the needs of cultivation process and the desired species (Czech Republic 2015). The closed photobioreactors are of more controlled type and effective in sustaining the microalgal monoculture including cyanobacteria. Heterotrophic approaches have been described before in the two-stage cultivation of cyanobacteria, where the cells were pre-grown under photoautotrophy to increase their biomass, and subsequently cultured under heterotrophy with a single type of organic substrate. Depending on the amino acid sequence, constituent subunits and substrate specificity, four kinds of PHA synthases have been recognized (Koller et al.2011).
