In order to increase the production of tryptophan by maximizing expression of recombinant trp plasmid, Klebsiella pneumoniae KC 105(pheA tyrA trpE trpR tyrR) was genetically modified. KC 107, inosine monophospate(IMP) auxotroph from KC 105 and KC 108, histidine(His) auxotroph from KC 107 were also derived respectively to increase phosphoribosylpyrophosphate(PRPP) production which is required for tryptophan biosynthesis. From KC 107 phosphoribosylpyrophosphate consumption which is required for tryptophan biosynthesis. From KC 107 and KC 108, KC 109 and KC 110, both arginine auxotrophs were derived respectively. To investigate the expression of recombinant trp plasmid in the selected K. pneumoniae mutants, the auxotrophic mutants were transformed with recombinant trp plasmids pSC 101-$trpE^{FBR}$, pSC 101-trpL(.DELTA.att) $trpE^{FBR}$ (pSC 101-trp-AF). Amount of tryptophan produced and activities of tryptophan synthase of $trpR^{-}$ mutant (KC 100) and $tyrR^{-}$ mutnat(KC 105) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon were increased by 30-40% as compared with KC 99(pheA tyrA trpE) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon. Activities of tryptophan synthase and production of tryptophan of KC 108 ($His^{-}$) and KC 109($Arg^{-}$) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon were increase by two-fold as compared with KC 107 containing pSC 101-trp operon.

Continuous culture was carried out with a recombinant Escherichia coli W3110/pCR185, which encodes trp-operon enzymes when the temperature is shifted from $37^{circ}C\;t;42^{\circ}C$. Under derepressed condition of $42^{\circ}C$. plasmlid stability and gene expression were analysed as function of the dilution rate. The stability of plasmid increased with the dilution rate, but maximal levels of gene expression (tryptophan concentration) and plasmid DNA content were obtained at the lowest dilution rate, $0.075\;hr^{-1}$. The plasmid instability, observed at low dilution rates, could be explained by the unbalanced biosynthetic state of the recombinant cell harboring a high copy number of plasmid.

증폭된 재조합 trp operon의 발현을 위한 숙주박테리아 개발의 일환으로 숙수 E. coli에 $aroP^{-}$ 변이를 도입하였다. $aroP^{-}$ 변이의 유도에는 trans po son Tn10을 사용하였으며 P1Kc파아지를 이용하여 숙주박테리아에 형질도입하였다. General aromatic amino acid transport system이 결여된 $aroP^{-}$ 변이주는 $\beta$-thienylalanine ($(2{\times}10^{-4}M)$). p-fluor-phenylalanine ($(2{\times}10^{-4}M)$) 그리고 5-methyltryptophan에 저항성을 가졌다. $aroP^{-}$ 변이주는 $aroP^{-}$ 야생주에 비해서 〔$[^3H]$-tryptophan uptake가 상당히 감소하였다. 또한 NaN, ($(2{\times}10^{-4}M)$)를 처리하였을 때의 ($[^3H]$)-tryptophan uptake 비율은 aroP 변이주가 $aroP^{-}$야생주보다 덜 감소하였다. E. coli $trpR^{-ts}/ColE_1 -trp^+$ 균주에 aroP 형질을 도입하였을 때 트립토판 방출이 $aroP^{-}$ 야생주에 비해서 4 배나 증가하였다.

A model equation to describe the plasmid instability in recombinant Escherichia coli fermentation is proposed. The equation allows one to estimate easily the two model parameters; (1) the difference in the specific growth rates between plasmid-free cells and plasmid-harboring cells ($\delta$), and (2) the probability of plasmid loss by plasmid-harboring cells ($\rho$). The estimated values of $\delta and \rho$ were in the range of 0.02-0.07 and $10^{-3}-10^{-5}$, respectively, and were strongly dependent on the dilution rate. As another parameter, the ratio of specific growth rates of plasmid-free cells and plasmid-harboring cells ($\alha$) was calculated and the result showed the highest value of 1.28 at the lowest dilution rate of 0.075 $hr^{-l}$, examined in this work. By the sensitivity analyses on the estimates of $\delta and \rho$, it was found that the growth rate difference ($\delta$) affected the plasmid instability more seriously than the probability of plasmid loss ($\rho$). Furthermore, the profound instability of plasmid at low dilution rate could be explained by the high values of $\alpha and \rho$.
