The glutamate dehydrogenase gene of Escherichia coli has been cloned into broad host-range plasmids and can complement glutamate synthase mutants of Methylophilus methylotrophus. Assimilation of ammonia via glutamate dehydrogenase is more energy-efficient than via glutamate synthase, thus the recombinant organism converts more growth substrate, methanol, into cellular carbon.
大肠杆菌的谷氨酸脱氢酶基因已被克隆到广泛宿主范围的质粒中,并能互补嗜甲基甲基ophilus的谷氨酸合酶突变体。通过谷氨酸脱氢酶同化氨比通过谷氨酸合酶更节能,因此重组生物体将更多的生长底物甲醇转化为细胞碳。
