Pseudomonas mendocina strain 0806 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil and found to produce polyesters consisting of medium chain length 3-hydroxyalkanoates (mclPHAs). The monomers of mclPHAs contained even numbers of carbon atoms, such as 3-hydroxyhexanoate (HHx or C6), 3-hydroxyoctanoate (HO or C8), and/or 3-hydroxydecanoate (HD or C10) as major components when grown on many carbon sources unrelated to their monomeric structures, such as glucose, citric acid, and carbon sources related to their monomeric structures, such as myristic acid, octanoate, or oleic acid. On the other hand, PHA containing both even and odd numbers of hydroxyalkanoates (HA) monomers was synthesized when the strain was grown on tridecanoic acid. The molar ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C/N) had a significant effect on PHA composition: the strain produced PHAs containing 97-99% of HD monomer when grown in a glucose ammonium sulfate medium of C/N<20, and 20% HO, and 80% of the HD monomer when growth was conducted in media containing C/N>40. It was demonstrated that the HO/HD ratio in the polymers remained constant in media with a constant C/N ratio, regardless of the glucose concentration. Up to 3.6 g/L cell dry weight containing 45% of PHAs was produced when the strain was grown for 48 h in a medium containing 20 g/L glucose with a C/N ratio of 40.
