The invention relates to a method for regulating and controlling the cell division cycle to strengthen the electron transfer capability of shewanella. In order to explore the relationship between the cellular morphology and the electron transfer capability of electroactive microorganisms, a synthetic biology strategy is used for carrying out cellular morphology transformation on mode electrogenic bacteria shewanella, and four engineering strains capable of shortening the cell division cycle of shewanella are constructed. Morphological characterization shows that the cell size of the overexpression division protein engineering strain is reduced, and electrochemical characterization shows that the output voltage, current and power density of the engineering strain are gradually increased along with the reduction of the cell volume, which indicates that the overexpression division related protein can shorten the division cycle and accelerate the cell division process; the cells are reduced; and the electron transfer rate of shewanella is improved. The invention provides a new method for transforming electroactive microorganisms by using morphological engineering, enhancing the electron transfer capability of shewanella and improving the application capability of shewanella.

A polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing microorganism is cultured to obtain microbial bodies accumulating polyhydroxyalkanoate particles and having an average cell size of 2 μm or more. The microbial bodies are subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature higher than a temperature in the culturing to increase an average particle size of the polyhydroxyalkanoate particles in the microbial bodies. The resulting average particle size is equal to or greater than 1.8 μm and equal to or smaller than the average cell size. The microbial bodies subjected to the heat treatment can be disrupted to obtain a cell disruption solution. The PHA particles can be separated from an aqueous phase of the cell disruption solution.
