%X Attempts have been made, using rhizobacteria, to develop a protocol for economical polyhydroxybutyrate production using agri-byproducts. The optimum conditions for maximum PHB production were found with modified glucose minimal media. A cost effective media using exclusively readily available agri-byproducts yielding as much as 60 mg/l PHB (which correspond to 53.1% of the biomass) from isolates of rhizobacteria has been developed.
