Chemoautotrophic bacterium Ralstonia eutropha H16 can fix CO 2 to bioplastic and is potentially useful for CO 2 neutralization. Targeting the solar fuel-based plastic biomanufactory, the polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production between heterotrophy and chemoautotrophy conditions was evaluated and the proteomic responses of the R. eutropha H16 cells to different carbon and energy sources were investigated. The results show that the chemoautotrophic mode hardly affected the cellular PHB accumulation capacity. Benefited from the high coverage proteome data, the global response of R. eutropha H16 to different carbon and energy sources was presented with a 95% KEGG pathway annotation, and the genome-wide location-related protein expression pattern was also identified. PHB depolymerase Q0K9H3 was found as a key protein responding to the low carbon input while CO 2 and H 2 were used, and will be a new regulation target for further high PHB production based on solar fuels.
