제목 β-carotene production ofrecombinant Escherichia coli with engineered whole mevalonate or non-mevalonate pathway in batch cultures at different temperatures
초록 B-carotene (C40) functions as a provitamin A, rendering it as functional a food or cosmetics. Recently, recombinant Escherichia coli engineered to contain the whole mevalonate (MVA) pathway as well as foreign genes for -carotene biosynthesis was developed for production of -carotene in our group.
In this study, we compared the -carotene producing capacity ofE. coli strains harboring the foreign whole MVN pathway with the ones engineered with non- mevalonate pathway (MEP) at different temperatures ( 370C and 250C) in bioreactor culture controlled at neutral pH. Maximum -carotene production was observed in MVA pathway engineered strain at 370C (119mg/L), while the lowest productivity was found from MEP pathway engineered strain at 250C (46.7 mg/L). In addition, acetate byproduct formation was kept at very low concentration in foreign MVA engineered E. coli at both temperatures compared to the one formed from the non- MVA pathway haborring E. coli.
