Highlights A homo-aromatic polyester was produced from glucose for the first time. Aromatic polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) was produced to the highest titer yet achieved. 3D model-based rational engineering of PHA synthase was used to enhance aromatic PHA production. Polymer production was enhanced by utilizing heterologous phasins. Pilot-scale fermentative production of aromatic PHAs was successful.
