Many bacterial strains are capable of accumulation of very high amounts of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in cytoplasm. Consequently, increasing content of the macromolecular material will strongly affect the overall material properties of cells and it is also likely that high content of PHAs inside the cells will also influence the rest of the cell volume – the cytoplasm. PHAs does not serve only as a carbon source in starvation, but presence of PHAs granules in cytoplasm represent additional advantage under stress conditions. It has an impact on metabolic activity of the cells and, moreover, it changes cells morphology as well as physico-chemical properties of the bacterial cytoplasm and cells.
