Aeromonas  spp. strains isolated from activated sludge in a municipal wastewater treatment plant were found to be able to synthesize polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) utilizing pure and crude glycerol. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolates exhibited similarity to  Aeromonas hydrophila ,  A. aquatica , and  A. salmonicida . Our results confirmed that the adequate supply of nitrogen and phosphorus during culture in 250-ml shake flasks did not stimulate the synthesis of PHAs. The results indicate that the PHA content of cells was higher under a phosphorus-limiting environment compared to nitrogen starvation. In the two-stage cultivation using glucose (in the first step) and crude glycerol from biodiesel industry (in the second step) as a component of the growth medium, the analyzed strains grew to 3.06 g/l of cell dry weight containing up to 22% of PHAs. Furthermore, during the same culture strategy up to 42% of PHAs were extracted, when in the second step of the process,  Aeromonas  sp. AC_03 was grown on pure glycerol under phosphorus limitation. The purified biopolymer was confirmed to be polyhydroxybutyrate.  Aeromonas  sp. AC_02 was also capable to accumulate the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymer when pure glycerol was added as a substrate under nitrogen-deficiency one-step bioprocess. Our results confirm that due to the biopolymer productivity, newly isolated strains could be exploited for obtaining valuable biopolymers using wastes generated from biodiesel industry.
