1 18888 3-HYDROXYBUTANOIC ACID-3-HYDROXYPENTANOIC ACID, COPOLYMER
  Definition These copolymers are produced by the controlled fermentation of Alcaligenes eutrophus using mixtures of glucose and propanoic acid as carbon sources. The organism used has not been genetically engineered and has been derived from a single wild-type organism Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H16 NCIMB 10442. Master stocks of the organism are stored as freeze-dried ampoules. A submaster/ working stock is prepared from the master stock and stored in liquid nitrogen and used to prepare inocula for the fermenter. Fermenter samples will be examined daily both microscopically and for any changes in colonial morphology on a variety of agars at different temperatures. The copolymers are isolated from heat treatment bacteria by controlled digestion of the other cellular components, washing and drying. These copolymers are normally offered as formulated, melt formed granules containing additives such as nucleating agents, plasticisers, fillers, stabilisers and pigments which all conform to the general and individual specifications.
  Chemical name Poly (3-D-hydroxybutanoato-co-3-D-hydroxypentanoate).
  CAS number 80181-31-3.
  Structural formula where n/(m+n) greater than 0 and less or equal to 0.25
