OMW was used for production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) by H. mediterranei in one stage cultivation step.
OMW was used directly, thereby saving an additional costly dephenolization and fermentation steps.
H. mediterranei tolerates the inhibitory effect of polyphenols present in medium containing 25% of OMW.
High pure polymer with 6.5 mol% of 3-hydroxyvalarate was observed without adding any extra carbon source.
