Аннотация: <jats:p>The article presents the results of the first successful synthesis of degradable microbial copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate [P(3HB-co-3HV)] by the wild-type strain C. necator B-10646 using waste fish oil (WFO) obtained from the heads of Sprattus sprattus balticus. Samples of copolymers with 3HV monomer Показать полностьюcontents from 11.9 to 59.7 mol.% were synthesized with fractional and controlled feeding of potassium valerate, a precursor of 3HV monomers, into the bacterial culture. Samples synthesized on WFO with different contents of 3HV monomers had a reduced degree of crystallinity (36.5% and below), and close average molecular weight (390–573 kDa), with polydispersity of 2.6–3.0, and retained thermal stability, with a gap between the melting point and the thermal degradation temperature of over 100 °C. The thermal behavior of the samples, including the kinetics of exothermic crystallization and spherulite formation, was studied. Demonstrating the possibility of using WFO for the effective synthesis of P(3HB-co-3HV) with macroinclusions of 3HV monomers without deterioration of their properties is important for expanding the raw material base, reducing costs and increasing the availability of these promising bioplastics.</jats:p>
