Process for releasing poly(3-hydroxy carboxylic acid) granules from cells of Gram-negative bacteria containing the latter, by expression of a cloned natural or chimeric lysis gene, in which, before induction of lysis gene expression, the ionic strength of doubly charged cations is increased to between 0.05 and 0.5 mol/1, the expression of the lysis gene is induced by raising the temperature, the cells are harvested, and the still wet cells are resuspended in water or buffer solutions, which results in the release of the polymer granules by spontaneous lysis.
