The fatty acid metabolism in Escherichia coli has served as a basic metabolic chassis for medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) production. In this study, the phaG and phaC1 genes from Pseudomonas entomophila L48 were first cloned as pGRN08. E. coli BL21P (E. coli BL21(DE3) ΔptsG) containing pGRN08 was able to produce 23 ± 3 and 7 ± 0 mg/L homopolymer poly(3-hydroxydecanoate)(P(3HD)) from glucose and xylose, respectively. Next, a gene, PSEEN0908 (encoding a putative 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA ligase), from P. entomophila L48 was found to increase the performance of mcl-PHA production. The induction of the fatty acid biosynthesis repressor (FabR), a transcription regulator that represses UFA biosynthesis, in E. coli substantially increased the mcl-PHA production by an order of magnitude from both unrelated and related carbon source conversion. A mcl-PHA concentration of 179 ± 1 mg/L and a content of 5.79 ± 0.16 % were obtained, where 31 mol% was 3-hydroxyoctanoate (3HO) and 69 mol% was 3HD.
大肠杆菌中的脂肪酸代谢已成为中链长度多羟基烷酸(mcl-PHA)生产的基本代谢底盘。在本研究中,首先将恶臭假单胞菌 L48 的 phaG 和 phaC1 基因克隆为 pGRN08。含有 pGRN08 的大肠杆菌 BL21P(大肠杆菌 BL21(DE3)ΔptsG)能够分别从葡萄糖和木糖生产 23±3 和 7±0mg/L 的均聚物聚(3-羟基癸酸)(P(3HD))。接下来,发现恶臭假单胞菌 L48 的基因 PSEEN0908(编码一种假定的 3-羟酰基辅酶 A 连接酶)能够提高 mcl-PHA 的生产性能。脂肪酸生物合成抑制剂(FabR)的诱导,即一种抑制 UFA 生物合成的转录调节剂,可使大肠杆菌中无关和相关碳源转化的 mcl-PHA 产量提高一个数量级。获得了 179±1mg/L 的 mcl-PHA 浓度和 5.79±0.16%的含量,其中 31mol%为 3-羟基辛酸(3HO),69mol%为 3HD。
