A two-step cultivation process was used and the biosynthesis of PHAs was followed along 52 h by regular culture sampling. The polyester was purified from freeze-dried cells and analysed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infra red (FTIR), and gas chromatography mass spectrometries. The copolyester produced by P. guezennei biovar. tikehau from coprah oil mainly consisted of saturated monomers, i.e. 3-hydroxyoctanoate (3HO) and 3-hydroxydecanoate (3HD), and the monomeric composition of the polyester did not change during the fermentation process. However, yield of PHAs production varied from 4% of the cellular dry weight (CDW) to 63% obtained after 36 h. Scan electron microscopy was used to study the morphology and organization of PHAs granules within the cells and revealed the presence of several granules occupying almost the entire cell volume.
