Abstract Background Ralstonia eutropha H16, a facultative chemolitoautotroph, is an important workhorse for bioindustrial production of useful compounds such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Despite the extensive studies to date, some of its physiological properties remain not fully understood. Results This study demonstrated that the knallgas bacterium exhibited altered PHA production behaviors under slow-shaking condition, as compared to its usual aerobic condition. One of them was a notable increase in PHA accumulation, ranging from 3.0 to 4.5-fold in the mutants lacking of at least two NADPH-acetoacetyl-CoA reductases (PhaB1, PhaB3 and/or phaB2) when compared to their respective aerobic counterpart, suggesting the probable existence of (R)-3HB-CoA-providing route(s) independent on PhaBs. Interestingly, PHA production was still considerably high even with an excess nitrogen source under this regime. The present study further uncovered the conditional activation of native reverse β-oxidation (rBOX) allowing formation of (R)-3HHx-CoA, a crucial precursor for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)], solely from glucose. This native rBOX led to the natural incorporation of 3.9 mol% 3HHx in a triple phaB-deleted mutant (∆phaB1∆phaB1∆phaB2-C2). Gene deletion experiments elucidated that the native rBOX was mediated by previously characterized (S)-3HB-CoA dehydrogenases (PaaH1/Had), β-ketothiolase (BktB), (R)-2-enoyl-CoA hydratase (PhaJ4a), and unknown crotonase(s) and reductase(s) for crotonyl-CoA to butyryl-CoA conversion prior to elongation. The introduction of heterologous enzymes, crotonyl-CoA carboxylase/reductase (Ccr) and ethylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase (Emd) along with (R)-2-enoyl-CoA hydratase (PhaJ) aided the native rBOX, resulting in remarkably high 3HHx composition (up to 37.9 mol%) in the polyester chains under the low-aerated condition. Conclusion These findings shed new light on the robust characteristics of Ralstonia eutropha H16 and have the potential for the development of new strategies for practical P(3HB-co-3HHx) copolyesters production from sugars under low-aerated conditions.
