摘要

This article presents the results of the synthesis of biological macromolecules, namely, single-cell protein (SCP) and degradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), by a new strain of Cupriavidus necator B-15081 with high lipase activity on waste fish oil (WFO). Bacteria were cultivated in flasks on medium containing 20.0 g/L WFO obtained from Sprattus sprattus and Scomber scombrus waste under different concentrations of the nitrogen source (urea) to modify the C/N ratio in the medium and the direction of constructive cell metabolism. On a medium with a urea concentration of 1.5 g/L, the bacterial biomass concentration reached 7.2 ± 0.3 g/L, the intracellular protein content was 50.7%, and the amino acid composition was complete with a full set of amino acids, including essential ones. In a slowly growing culture under nitrogen deficiency, the total biomass concentration reached 12.0 ± 0.9 g/L, and the intracellular content of PHAs was 86.4 ± 5.9%. Bacteria synthesized P(3HB) homopolymers that exhibited a reduced degree of crystallinity (49–50%). Moreover, the completeness of WFO use by bacteria exceeded 80%. According to the studied parameters, the strain C. necator B-15081 is a promising producer of target products on a new renewable substrate.
