Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 was cultured on media containing long odd-chain fatty acids. Heptadecanoic, nonadecanoic, and heneicosanoic acids sustained cell growth and resulted in polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) accumulation when culturing was conducted under nitrogen starvation conditions. No PHA was produced using a complete or magnesium-deprived medium. The isolated polyesters were characterized by gas chromatography and liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI–MS) of methanolyzed samples, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, ESI MS of partially pyrolyzed samples, and differential scanning calorimetry. These PHAs are composed of seven different odd-chain repeating units starting from 3-hydroxyvalerate, with the highest species being the, to date, unreported constituent 3-hydroxyheptadecanoate, and minor amounts of 2 or 3 even-chain comonomers. The PHAs are soft, sticky, rubber-like materials having glass transition temperatures between −45 and ‐39 °C, melting temperatures between 48 and 52 °C, enthalpies of melting around 11 J/g, and molar masses ranging from 77 to 188 kg/mol. Statistical analysis of the ESI mass spectra of the products of their partial pyrolysis showed that they are pure copolymers and not a blend of copolymers or homopolymers.
