Abstract
The disclosure provides methods of producing protein-based bioplastics and protein-based biofilms by culturing a microorganism to produce microbial biomass. In particular, the disclosure relates to protein-based bioplastics and protein-based biofilms produced by fermentation of a gaseous substrate comprising one or more of CO, CO2, and H2, especially by a Gram-positive, anaerobic, and/or Clostridium microorganism.
Claims24
A method of producing a protein-based bioplastic, wherein the method comprises:
- a. a step of culturing a microorganism in a nutrient medium in the presence of a gaseous substrate to produce microbial biomass;
- and
- b. a step of processing the microbial biomass to produce a protein-based bioplastic.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
