Filamentation-suppressed recombinant Escherichia coli strain harboring the Alcaligenes latus polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis genes and the E. coli ftsZ gene was constructed and cultivated for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] with high concentration and high content. By the pH-stat fed-batch culture of this recombinant E. coli strain XL1-Blue(pJC5), the final cell concentration and P(3HB) concentration obtained in 44.25h were 172.2g cell dry weight/l and 141.9g P(3HB)/l, respectively, resulting in productivity of 3.21g P(3HB)/l-h. More importantly, the P(3HB) content obtained was 82.4 wt %, which was significantly higher than that obtained with the recombinant E. coli harboring only the PHA biosynthesis genes.

Metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains harboring a plasmid containing a novel artificial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) operon consisting of the Aeromonas PHA biosynthesis related genes and Ralstonia eutropha reductase gene were developed for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] from dodecanoic acid. By applying stepwise reduction of dissolved oxygen concentration (DOC) during the fermentation, the final dry cell weight, PHA concentration, and PHA content of 79 g/L, 21.5 g/L, and 27.2 wt%, respectively, were obtained in 40.8 h, which resulted in the PHA productivity of 0.53 g/L/h. The 3HHx fraction slowly increased during the fed-batch culture to reach a final value of 10.8 mol%. The 3HHx fraction in the copolymer could be increased by three fold when the Aeromonas hydrophila orfl gene was co-expressed with the PHA biosynthesis genes.

acs gene cloning was constructed by subcloning the 2.2-kb MunI-MunI restriction fragment of 638 and 639 which include acs gene from the kohara phage into the unique EcoRI site of pUC18 and pJM9131 containing the PHA biosynthesis genes. Then recombinant E. coli fadRatoC(Con) mutants containing the polyhydroxyalkanoate(PHA) biosynthesis genes are able to incoporate s significant levels of 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) into the copolymer [P(3HB-co-3HV)]. Quantitative determination of PHB and P(3HB-co-3HV) was performed by gas-chromatographic analysis of extracts obtained from methanolysis of lyophilized cells.

재조합 E. coli를 이용한 MCL-PHA의 생산에서 fatty acid pathway로부터 PHA 생합성 전구체 물질들이 만들어진다는 사실과 함께 이에 관여하는 enzymes이 밝혀지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 protein homology search로부터 탐색된 paaG와 ydbU genes의 PHA 생합성에서의 역할을 확인하기 위하여 paaG와 ydbU gene이 각각 knock-out된 mutant E. coli strains 를 제작하였다. 제작된 mutant E. coli들은 모균주들보다 낮은 PHA 농도와 함량을 가졌으며, 이러한 결과들로부터 paaG와 ydbU는 fatty acid pathway에서 PHA synthesis의 전구체 물질들을 공급한다는 사실을 확인하였다. 또한, 새로운 FadB homologous enzyme YgfG를 탐색하였으며, ygfG gene이 overexpression된 균주와 ygfG mutant를 제작하여 PHA 합성을 실험한 결과 ygfG도 paaG와 ydbU와 유사한 역할을 한다는 사실을 밝혔다. 이러한 연구결과들은 E. coli에서의 MCL-PHA 단량체들의 합성 경로를 확인하여 효과적인 PHA 생산 균주를 제작할 수 있게 할 것이다.

R. eutropha의 PHA 생합성 유전자를 포함하는 플라스미드 pSYL107을 가진 재조합 대장균 GCSC6576과 A. latus PHA 생합성 유전자를 포함하는 플라스미드 pJC4를 가진 fadR atoC 돌연변이주 재조합 대장균 LS5218의 유청으로부터 P(3HB-co-3HV) 합성을 비교하였다. 재조합 대장균 GCSC6576(pSYL107)의 플라스크 배양에서 acetic acid induction과 oleic acid의 첨가는 3HV 함량을 증가시켰다. 재조합 대장균 LS5218의 pH-stat 유가식 배양결과, 39시간에 균체농도 31.8 g/L, P(3HB-co-3HV) 농도 10.6 g/L, P(3HB-co-3HV) 함량 33.4%, 3HV 함량 6.26 mol%를 얻을 수 있었다.

Biosynthesis of lactate-containing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) was examined in recombinant Escherichia coli W strain from sucrose. The Pseudomonas sp. MBEL 6-19 phaC1437 gene and the Clostridium propionicum pct540 gene, which encode engineered Pseudomonas sp. MBEL 6-19 PHA synthase 1 ($PhaC1_{Ps6-19}$) and engineered C. propionicum propionyl-CoA transferase ($Pct_{Cp}$), respectively, were expressed in E. coli W to construct key metabolic pathway to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-lactate) [P(3HB-co-LA)]. The recombinant E. coli W expressing the phaC1437 gene and the pct540 gene could synthesize P(3HB-co-13mol%LA) up to the polymer content of 31.3 wt% when it was cultured in chemically defined MR medium containing 20 g/L of sucrose and 2 g/L of sodium 3-hydroxybutyrate. When Ralstonia eutropha phaAB genes were additionally expressed to provide 3-hydroxybutyrate-CoA (3HB-CoA) from sucrose, P(3HB-co-16mol%LA) could be synthesized from sucrose as a sole carbon source without supplement of sodium 3-hydroxybutyrate in culture medium, but the PHA content was decreased to 12.2 wt%. The molecular weight of P(3HB-co-16 mol%LA) synthesized in E. coli W using sucrose as carbon source were $1.53{\times}10^4$ ($M_n$) and $2.78{\times}10^4$ ($M_w$), respectively, which are not different from those that have previously been reported by other recombinant E. coli strains. Engineered E. coli strains developed in this study should be useful for the production of lactate-containing PHAs from sucrose, one of the most abundant and least expensive carbon sources.

활성슬러지로부터 특이한 조성의 polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)를 생합성하는 Pseudomonas aeruginosa P-5를 분리하였다. 이 균주는 nonanoic acid나 heptanoic acid와 같은 홀수개의 탄소수를 가지는 지방산을 단일 탄소원으로 공급해주었을 경우, 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV)와 medium-chain-length (MCL) 3-hydroxyalkanoates 단위체로 이루어진 공중합체를 생산하였다. 공중합체 내 3HV의 함량은 valeric acid와 같은 보조기질을 공급함으로써 증가시킬 수 있었으며, 2 g/L nonanoic acid와 1 g/L valeric acid로 이루어진 혼합기질로부터 3HV의 함량이 26 mol%에 달하는 공중합체를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 공중합체는 결정성이 매우 낮아 점착성 고분자로서의 성질을 보였다. P. aeruginosa P-5 균주는 MCL-PHA synthase 유전자(phaC1, phaC2)를 가지고 있는 반면에 SCL-PHA synthase 유전자는 결여되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 P. aeruginosa P-5 균주의 MCL-PHA synthase는 MCL(R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs 뿐만 아니라 (R)-3-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA를 기질로 인지하는 특이한 기질특이성을 갖는 것으로 사료된다.
