Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a microorganism strain that accumulates a high molecular weight PHA, and a PHA production method using the microorganism. The present invention provides a method for producing a PHA copolymer, which includes culturing a microorganism, wherein at least a portion of either of the following genes (a) and (b) of the microorganism has been altered by substitution, deletion, insertion, and/or addition to reduce or eliminate the activity of a PHA degrading enzyme encoded by the gene: (a) a PHA degrading enzyme gene encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 in the sequence listing; and (b) a gene encoding a polypeptide having at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 in the sequence listing and having PHA degrading enzyme activity.

Abstract: A polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing microorganism is cultured to obtain microbial bodies accumulating polyhydroxyalkanoate particles and having an average cell size of 2 μm or more. The microbial bodies are subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature higher than a temperature in the culturing to increase an average particle size of the polyhydroxyalkanoate particles in the microbial bodies. The resulting average particle size is equal to or greater than 1.8 μm and equal to or smaller than the average cell size. The microbial bodies subjected to the heat treatment can be disrupted to obtain a cell disruption solution. The PHA particles can be separated from an aqueous phase of the cell disruption solution.

Abstract: Provided is a mutant PHA synthase which produces of a PHA copolymer with a high or low 3HH ratio while maintaining PHA productivity. The mutant PHA synthase is a mutant polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase having an amino acid sequence having 85% or more sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and having at least one of the following mutations (a) to (c): (a) a substitution of serine at 389th position from N-terminus of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 with an amino acid other than serine; (b) a substitution of leucine at 436th position from the N-terminus of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 with an amino acid other than leucine; and (c) a deletion of 11 to 19 amino acid residues from the C-terminus of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.

Abstract: In culturing a poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-producing microorganism, an oil A and an oil B are used as the carbon source. The proportion of the oil B to the total amount of the oils A and B used during the entire course of the culturing is 10 wt% or more. The oil A is the total oil used until the amount of the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) accumulated in the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-producing microorganism reaches 16 wt%, and the average unsaturated fatty acid content in constituent fatty acids is from 25 wt% to less than 75 wt% in the total oil A. The unsaturated fatty acid content in constituent fatty acids in the oil B is higher than the average unsaturated fatty acid content in the total oil A.

Abstract: The present application provides: a transformed microorganism for producing a PHA copolymer containing 3HH monomer unit at a higher composition ratio, specifically, a transformed microorganism comprising a PHA synthase gene capable of synthesizing a PHA copolymer containing 3HH monomer unit and a gene encoding a protein having (R)-specific enoyl-CoA hydratase activity, characterized in that, in the transformed microorganism, the expression of a gene encoding at least one β-ketothiolase enzyme having thiolysis activity for β-keto-(C6) acyl-CoA (i.e., β-ketohexanoyl-CoA) is inhibited, thereby losing or reducing the enzyme activity; and a method for producing a PHA copolymer containing 3HH monomer unit, comprising a step of culturing the transformed microorganism.
