title: [Study on production of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate by recombinant strain VG1(pTU14)].
abstract: Cloning and expression of Vitreoscilla hemoglobin gene (vgb) and lambda phage lytic genes (S-RRz) in production of Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) was studied in different Escherichia coli hosts such as E. coliJM105, E. coliJM109 and VG1. In the recombinant strains, VG1(pTU14) was a superior one which simultaneously contained three exogenes including vgb, S-RRz and PHB biosynthesis genes(phbCAB). The experimental results showed that after 82 hours fed-batch cult ure in LBG medium in shaking flask, cell concentration of VG1(pTU14) could reach 25.9 g/L, which was the highest PHB production ever reported, and till 52 h PHB content could be higher than 95%. Additionally, inducible cell lysis was also attained successfully in recombinant VG1(pTU14) accompanying with its high cell density culture. Therefore, VG1(pTU14) is a novel potential strain with promising prospect in industrial production of PHB.
