Effects of controlled- and uncontrolled-pH operations on phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) production by a recombinant Escherichia coli strain were investigated at uncontrolled-pH ($pH_{UC}$) and controlled-pH ($pH_C$) of 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, and 8.5 in bioreactor systems. The results showed that the recombinant PAL activity was improved significantly by controlled pH strategy. Among the $pH_C$ operations, the highest PAL activities were obtained under $pH_C$ 7.5 strategy where cell mass ($OD_{600\;nm}$) and PAL activity was 1.3 and 1.8 fold higher than those of $pH_{UC}$, respectively. The maximum PAL activity reached 123 U/g. The $pH_C$ 7.5 strategy made recombinant plasmid more stable and therefore allowed easier expression of PAL recombinant plasmid, which increased PAL production. It was indicated that the new approach (controlled-pH strategy) obtained in this work possessed a high potential for the industrial production of PAL, especially in the biosynthesis of L-phenylalanine.

Optimal conditions for a high cell density fermentation were investigated in a recombinant Escherichia coli producing salmosin, a platelet aggregation inhibitor. The optimized carbon and nitrogen sources were glycerol 10 g/l, yeast extract 30 g/l, and bacto-tryptone 10 g/l, yielding the dry cell weight (DCW) of 10.61 g/l in a 500 ml flask culture. The late-stage induction with 1% L-arabinose in a 5 l jar fermentor showed the highest DCW of 65.70 g/l after 27 h of the fed-batch fermentation. Around 2,200 mg/l of the protein was expressed as an inclusion body that was then refolded to obtain the active salmosin of 96 mg/l. We also confirmed the inhibitory activity against platelet aggregation of the active salmosin from the high cell density fermentation.

재조합 소성장호르몬을 트립신, S.aureus V8 단백질가수분해효소, CNBr, 그리고 산 가수분해법을 이용하여 단백질 일차구조 분석을 실시하였다. N-말단 분석은 30 잔기까지를 수행하였는데, 대장균 내에서 발현된 소성장호르몬은 E. coli 내 에 존재 하는 methionyl-aminopeptidase에 의해 해독개시인자로 넣어준 N-말단의 Met이 모두 제거된 형태로 나타났으며 아미노산 조성분석 결과 연역된 조성과 유사하게 나타났다. 효소와 화학물질로 절단한 소성장호르몬 조각들을 HPLC로 분리한 후 단백질 서열분석기를 이용하여 아미노산 서열을 분석하였다. 대장균에서 발현된 소성장호르몬은 191개의 아미노산으로 구성된 21,802 Da의 분자량을 갖고 있는 단백질로 나타났다. 여기에서 을 갖고 있는 단백질로 나타났다. 여기에서 얻은 아미노산 서열을 바탕으로 hydropathy plot을 한 결과 N-말단에서는 소수성이 그리고 C-말단에서는 친수성 영역이 나타났다.

Physiological studies on the expression of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis (Btt) gene coding for insecticidal protein in recombinant Escherichia coli 537 were carried out to identify optimal culture condition. It was necessary to shift culture temperature from 30 to $42^{\circ}C$ to express the gene. Expression of the Btt toxin gene by recombinant E. coli 537 began within one hour after induction. Complex nitrogen sources increased production of the insecticidal protein. The total insecticidal protein was 0.5 g/I when using yeast extract as a complex nitrogen source. Soybean hydrolysate showed apparently the highest induction efficiency. After induction, the cellular content of the insecticidal protein was 5.4 times higher than it had been before induction. The optimal cultivation strategy was found to grow cells for 7hours at $30^{\circ}C$ and then 5-8 hours at $42^{\circ}C$. The optimal cultivation pH for the production of insecticidal protein was 6.5. The Btt toxin produced by the recombinant E. coli 537 was found to have the same level of potency against Colorado potato beetle as the original toxin.

Silk proteins from Nephila clavipes are fibrous proteins containing repetitive sequences with both crystalline and amorphous domains. In order to obtain high-level production of silk protein, the synthetic genes had 16 contiguous units of the consensus repeat sequence of the silk protein were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) under the strong inducible T7 promoter. For production of recombinant silk protein in large amounts, pH-stat fed-batch cultures were carried out. The recombinant silk protein was produced as soluble forms in E. coli, and the recombinant silk protein content was as high as 11% of the total protein. When cells were induced at $OD_{600}$ of 60, the amount of silk protein produced was 6.49 g/L. After simple purification steps, 9.2 mg of silk protein that was more than 80% pure was obtained from a 50 mL culture, and the recovery yield was 26.3%.

The Bacillus stearothermophilus arfI gene encoding a-arabinofuranosidase was isolated from the genomic library, cloned into pBR322, and subsequently transferred into the Escherichia coli HB101. The recombinant E. coli was selected from approximately 10,000 transformants screened by making use of its ability to produce a yellow pigment around the colony on the selective medium supplemented with p-nitrophenyl-$\alpha$-L-arabinofuranoside (pNPAf), a chromogenic substrate. The functional clone was found to harbor a recombinant plasmid, pKMG11 with an insertion of about 5 kb derived from the B. stearothermophilus chromosomal DNA. Identity of the arfI gene on the insert DNA was confirmed by a zymogram with 4-methylumbelliferyl-$\alpha$-L-arabinofuranoside as the enzyme substrate. The $\alpha$-arabinofuranosidase from the recombinant E. coli strain showed very high substrate specificity; the enzyme displayed high activity only with pNPAf among many other p- or $o$-nitrophenyl derivatives of several sugars, and acted only on arabinoxylan among various natural arabinose containing polysaccharides tested.

The supra molecular weight poly(〔R〕-3-hydroxybutyrate) (PH B), having a molecular weight greater than 2 million Da, has recently been found to possess improved mechanical properties compared with the normal molecular weight PHB, which has a molecular weight of less than 1 million Da. However, applications for this PHB have been hampered due to the difficulty of its production. Reported here, is the development of a new metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strain and its fermentation for high level production of supra molecular weight PHB. Recombinant E. coli strains, harboring plasm ids of different copy numbers containing the Alcaligenes latus PHB biosynthesis genes, were cultured and the molecular weights of the accumulated PHB were compared. When the recombinant E. coli XL1-Blue, harboring a medium-copy-number pJC2 containing the A. latus PHB biosynthesis genes, was cultivated by fed-batch culture at pH 6.0, supra molecular weight PHB could be produced at up to 89.8 g/L with a productivity of 2.07 g PHB/L-h. The molecular weight of PHB obtained under these conditions was as high as 22 MDa, exceeding by an order of magnitude the molecular weight of PHB typically produced in Ralstonia eutropha or recombinant E. coli.

토양으로부터 분리한 알카리내성 Bacillus sp. YA-14의 Pectate lyase(PL) 유전자를 E. coli에 cloning하여 제조한 재조합 plasmid pYPC29는 삽입 된 1.6kb 단편내에 PL 유전자를 함유하고 있었으며, 이 외래 DNA가 Bacillus sp. YA-14의 chromosomal DNA에서 유래된 것임을 Southern hybridization을 통하여 확인하였다. 재조합 plasmid pYPC29는 E. coli내에서 안정하게 존재하였으며 이를 함유한 재조합체의 전체 PL 활성 중 약 70%가 periplasmic space에 존재하였다.

E. coli를 이용하여 L-phenylalanine을 대량 생산하기 위한 재조합 플라스미드 pMW10, pMW11과 pMW 12를 구성하였다. L- Phenylalanine 생산을 위한 유전자 $aroF^{FR}$, $pheA^{FR}$은 E. coli MWEC 101-5 균주로부터 분리하였다. 재조합 플라스미드를 함유하고 있는 E.coli 대사 조절변이주들의 L-phenylalanine 생산생과 안전성을 조사하여 $aroF^{FR}$, $pheA^{FR}$유전자들의 효율을 알아보았다. MWEC 101-5/pMW 11 균주에서는 24.3 g/I의 L-phenylalanine이 생산되었으나, 플라스미드의 안정성은 73.8%였다. 본 균주의 prephemte dehydratase, 고유 활동도는 E. coli K-12에 비하여 26배 증가된 것이다.

방향족 에폭사이드 기질에 대한 입체선택적 가수분해능이 우수한 Rhodotorula glutinis의 epoxide hydrolase (EH)를 codon usage를 고려한 Escherichia coli 균주에서 고효율로 발현할 수 있었다. 효모인 R. glutinis와 박테리아인 E. coli에서의 codon usage 선호도를 분석하고 그 차이를 고려하여 E. coli 에서 잘 사용되지 않는 rare codon에 대한 tRNA유전자정보가 들어 있는 pRARE plasmid를 함유한 E. coli 균주인 Rosetta(DE3)pLysS를 숙주세포로 사용하였다. R. glutinis EH를 발현시킨 재조합 E. coli를 생촉매로 사용하여 라세믹 styrene oxide 혼합물과 반응시켰을 때, (R)-styrene oxide에 대한 입체선택적 가수분해활성이 wild type R. glutinis 대비 매우 향상됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 라세믹 기질로부터 입체적으로 고순도인 99% ee 값을 갖는 광학적으로 순수한 (S)-styrene oxide를 얻을 수 있었다.
