Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA), a bacteria-synthesized biodegradable polyester, is a useful alternative to fossil resources, and current systems for its production rely predominantly on edible resources, raising concerns about microbial competition for nutrients. Therefore, we investigated mechanisms underlying PHA production from non-edible resources by Piscinibacter gummiphilus strain NS21T. Strain NS21T can utilize natural rubber as a carbon source on solid media and potentially produces PHA. Gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses of NS21T cell extracts revealed the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) from natural rubber and glucose, respectively. Transcriptional analysis suggested that phaC is involved in PHA production. An increased PHBV accumulation rate under nitrogen-limiting conditions indicates the potential of this strain to be used as a PHBV production enhancement strategy. Furthermore, the disruption of PHA depolymerase genes resulted in enhanced PHA production, indicating the involvement of these genes in PHA degradation. These findings highlight the potential of NS21T for PHBV production from natural rubber, a non-edible resource.
