title: Production of a novel biomacromolecule for nanodevices from glycerol as carbon source in different conditions.
abstract: The aim of this study was the investigation of producing cruxrhodopsin as a biomacromolecule with nanofunction from glycerol as carbon source using several process parameters. The optimum medium composition for cruxrhodopsin production was found to contain glycerol 1%, yeast extract 0.05% and K(2)HPO(4) 0.001%. The production of cruxrhodopsin in optimal conditions was 139.86 mg/l. In conclusion, halophilic microorganism Haloarcula sp. IRU1 could be a potential microorganism for production of cruxrhodopsin from glycerol in different conditions.
