ABSTRACT
Nesterenkonia sandarakina VSA9 pigmented bacteria isolated from Sargassum is being reported to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) deduced through detecting the presence of pha C gene using the molecular method. The PHA synthase gene was of type I which has been concluded from the phylogenetic tree and multiple sequence analysis. The amino acid analysis of pha C gene confirms the involvement of the lipase box having a sequence of G-Y-C-I-G-G with cysteine as the active center of the PHA synthase. Homology modeling predicted the 3D protein structure which is similar to the PHA synthase of Chromobacterium sp. USM2. The solvent extract of N. sandarakina VSA9 showed the presence of Carotenoid compound with maximum wavelength at 475 nm. The study's findings could have far-reaching implications, contributing to advancements in the biotechnology, industrial processes, and sustainable practices. The simultaneous production of carotenoids and PHAs by N. sandarakina VSA9 presents exciting opportunities for the development of innovative and environmentally friendly applications.
