Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a process for extraction of bioplastic from bioplastic-producing microbial cells, comprising the steps of: A. providing bioplastic producing microbial cells comprising bioplastic; B. providing bacterial cells selected from the species Bacillus pumilus; C. extracting the bioplastic by admixing the bioplastic-producing microbial cells of step A and the bacterial cells of step B and allowing reaction. The present invention further relates to the process of producing monomers from said bioplastics by depolymerization.
A bacterial strain chosen from the species Bacillus pumilus having the ability to lyse bioplastic-producing microbial cells, preferably without interacting with or consuming bioplastic from the bioplastic-producing microbial cells.
A Bacterium, Bacillus pumilus strain FH9, deposition number DSM 28594.
A process for extraction of bioplastic from bioplastic-producing microbial cells, comprising the steps of:
The process according to claims, wherein the extraction process further is comprising a separation step, wherein proteins, peptides, or amino acids or any combinations thereof are separated from the bioplastic.
