Sp7 produces PHB, which is covered by granule-associated proteins (GAPs). Phasins are the main GAPs. Previous studies have shown phasins can regulate PHB synthesis.

For this reason, this bacterium has been characterized as one of the main microorganisms that produce PHB. PHB is synthesized inside bacteria by the polymerization of 3-hydroxybutyrate monomers.
