Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate), short as P(3HB-co-4HB), was successfully produced by engineered Halomonas bluephagenesis TD01 grown in glucose and γ-butyrolactone under open non-sterile conditions. Gene orfZ encoding 4HB-CoA transferase of Clostridium kluyveri was integrated into the genome to achieve P(3HB-co-4HB) accumulation comparable to that of strains encoding orfZ on plasmids. Fed-batch cultivations conducted in 1-L and 7-L fermentors, respectively, resulted in over 70g/L cell dry weight (CDW) containing 63% P(3HB-co-12mol% 4HB) after 48h under non-sterile conditions. The processes were further scaled up in a 1000-L pilot fermentor to reach 83g/L CDW containing 61% P(3HB-co-16mol% 4HB) in 48h, with a productivity of 1.04g/L/h, again, under non-sterile conditions. The elastic P(3HB-co-16mol% 4HB) shows an elongation at break of 1022±43%. Results demonstrate that the engineered Halomonas bluephagenesis TD01 is a suitable industrial strain for large scale production under open non-sterile conditions.
