Processes are provided for enhancing the productivity of fermenters during the metabolic conversion of methane-containing gases to products containing polyhydroxyalkanoate, which products can be usedto make, for instance, animal feed or biodegradable, polymeric articles. The processes involve one or both of attenuating the heat generated to grow a population of microorganisms and removal of heatduring the fermentation by removal of carbon dioxide. 提供在含甲烷气体代谢转化成含聚羟基链烷酸酯的产物的过程中提高发酵罐生产率的方法，所述产物可用于制造例如动物饲料或可生物降解的聚合物制品。所述方法涉及减少为生长微生物群体而生成的热和/或在发酵过程中通过除去二氧化碳而排出热。
