ABSTRACT Optically pure d-lactic acid fermentation from arabinose was achieved by using the Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 8826 strain whose l-lactate dehydrogenase gene was deficient and whose phosphoketolase gene was substituted with a heterologous transketolase gene. After 27 h of fermentation, 38.6 g/liter of d-lactic acid was produced from 50 g/liter of arabinose.

An anti-static polymer film was prepared using biodegradable poly(lactic acid) as a matrix and polyaniline (PAni) as an anti-static agent to eliminate accumulated static charges.

Directly using cheap D,L-lactic acid (D,L-LA) and glucose (Glu) as starting materials, biodegradable material poly(D,L-lactic acid-co-Glucose) [P(D,L-LA-co-Glu)] was synthesized via melt polycondensation. When n(Glu) : n(D,L-LA) = 1:200, the appropriate synthetic condition is that: after 120 °C prepolymerization for 5 h, 160 °C melt polymerization catalyzed by w(SnCl2) = 0.5% for 5 h. P(D,L-LA-co-Glu) with different molar feed ratios were synthesized and characterized with [η], FTIR, 1H NMR, GPC and XRD. The Tg of all copolymer P(D,L-LA-co-Glu) was lower than that of homopolymer polylactic acid directly synthesized via melt polycondensation. The copolymers with Mw from 2,100 Da to 5,100 Da could meet the demand of drug delivery carrier material.

The emulsion of chitosan in acetic acid aqueous and poly lactic acid in chloroform was spray-dried to obtain the chitosan/poly lactic acid microencapsules (CS-PLA). The polypyrrole / chitosan/ polylactic acid microencapsules were prepared by polymerization pyrrole on CS-PLA. The structures and the morphologies of microencapsules were characterized by FTIR, SEM, TGA and four probes technique. The results showed that multilayer polypyrrole were formation on the surface of CS-PLA microencapsules, the microencapsules had 3.0-8.0 μm diameters with smooth surface, and the electrical conductivity value was 1.03×10-3 S/cm.
