Tools and methods for producing organic acids using strains ofwhich are tolerant to high organic acid concentrations at low pH.

[object Object]

The present invention provides tools and methods for producing organic acids using strains ofwhich are tolerant to high organic acid concentrations at low pH.

Monascus strains modified for organic acid production

A process for producing polylactic acid (PLA) comprising the steps: fermenting in a fermentation vessel a micro-organism of the genusin a medium at a pH less than or equal to 5 under conditions which produce lactic acid into the medium, converting the lactic acid produced into lactide, and polymerizing the lactide to form PLA.

A method for producing a biologically degradable polyhydroxyalkanoate coating in the form of an elastomeric film, wherein an aqueous dispersion of polyhydroxyalkanoate or a mixture of polyhydroxyalkanoate is prepared and the dispersion is applied to the surface to be coated, after which water is made or allowed to evaporate to obtain a polyhydroxyalkanoate film, the film formation taking place at a temperature lower than the melting point of the polyhydroxyalkanoate, wherein the polyhydroxyalkanoate is a Pseudomonas polyhydroxyalkanoate other than a polymer or copolymer of &bgr;-hydroxyvalerate or &bgr;-hydroxybutyrate, without requiring additional steps to render the film elastomeric.

Method for producing a biologically degradable polyhydroxyalkanoate coating with the aid of an aqueous dispersion of polyhydroxyalkanoate

Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) are used as binders for drying paint systems, wherein the poly (3-hydroxyalkanoate) component comprises poly (3-hydroxyalkanoate) containing mono- and/or poly-unsaturated side groups. Medium chain length PHAs based on unsaturated vegetable fatty acids are preferred. PHAs are used in the form of a solution in organic solvents and in the form of a dispersion in water. The PHA binders are used for the formulation of solvent-based PHA paint systems and for the formulations of PHA latexes.
