Résumé

Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) production by using microbial enrichments is a promising but largely unexplored approach to obtain elastomeric biomaterials from secondary resources. In this study, several enrichment strategies were tested to select a community with a high mcl-PHA storage capacity when feeding octanoate. On the basis of analysis of the metabolic pathways, the hypothesis was formulated that mcl-PHA production is more favorable under oxygen-limited conditions than short-chain-length PHA (scl-PHA). This hypothesis was confirmed by bioreactor experiments showing that oxygen limitation during the PHA accumulation experiments resulted in a higher fraction of mcl-PHA over scl-PHA (i.e., a PHA content of 76 wt% with an mcl fraction of 0.79 with oxygen limitation, compared to a PHA content of 72 wt% with an mcl-fraction of 0.62 without oxygen limitation). Physicochemical analysis revealed that the extracted PHA could be separated efficiently into a hydroxybutyrate-rich fraction with a higher M
