[Display omitted] •M. hirsuta CSC1 was a suitable cell factory for PHB from biogas under N limitation.•The maximum PHB content (45 wt%) was reached at an O2:CH4 ratio of 2:1.•PHB synthesis at 25 °C was higher than at 15 and 37 °C.•NO3– as N source supported a superior PHB accumulation compared to NH...
