A newly isolated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] producing strain, ST1C, was identified as Bacillus aryabhattai based on its morphological, biochemical and molecular characteristics. It synthesized and accumulated relatively high amounts of P(3HB). The aim of this work was to establish if it could convert an inexpensive liquid waste product from the production of biodiesel, biodiesel liquid waste (BLW), to P(3HB). Using a mineral salt medium (MSM) containing 2.0 % (v/v) glycerol present in the BLW and both normal batch and a draw and fill culture method, B. aryabhattai ST1C produced a maximum P(3HB) content and biomass concentration of 72.31 % dry cell weight (DCW) and 7.24 g/L, respectively, over a 24 h cultivation period in the draw and fill cultivation method. From 24 h to the end of cultivation at 72 h both the P(3HB) content and the biomass concentrations continuously reduced. Concentrations of glycerol in the BLW in this MSM above 3.0 % (v/v) or from pure glycerol (PG) or with an added NaCl concentration of greater than 3.0 % significantly reduced both the maximum P(3HB) content and the biomass concentrations.
