Mobilization of morganocin 174 plasmid and kinetics of morganocin production in Proteus and Escherichia coli hosts.
نویسنده
چکیده
Morganocin 174 is coded by a plasmid, Mor174. The plasmid is not self-transmissible but may be mobilized by resistance factor R772. Morganocin synthesis in all Proteus and Providencia strains carrying Mor174 was characterized by a longer lag period after induction and higher titers than in Escherichia coli B(Mor174). The low titers obtained in E. coli B(Mor174) are due to a heatstable inhibitor produced by this strain. Synthesis of morganocin is not constitutive and may be induced by ultraviolet irradiation or mitomycin C. Morganocin production is not influenced by the growth medium of the organism.

Introduction: Escherichia coli (E.coli) is one of the most widely used hosts for the production of recombinant proteins. The main problem in getting high product yields and productivity is the accumulation of acetic acid (acetate) as an unwanted metabolic by-product. In this study, an antisense-based strategy as a metabolic engineering approach was employed to hamper the acetate excretion probl...

With the plasmid DNA from a clinical isolate of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) H 10407 as template, PCR-mediated cloning of the sequence encoding the heat-labile toxin B subunit (L T -B) has been carried out. Then this sequence was recloned into the pTrc 99A and pET23a expression vectors to give the pJasmids pTRCLTB and pETLTB, respectively. After induction, the former plasmid provides...
