Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to assess whether a fed-batch-based auto-induction method can enhance active hydrogenase production, encompassing cofactor formation and space-time yield.
Results: The recombinant Escherichia coli strain BQF8RH8, possessing plasmids for assembly and proper maturation of Cupriavidus necator regulatory hydrogenase (RH), was cultivated in the fed-batch like EnPresso B medium with an autoinduction lactose-based system. In contrast to classical IPTG induction previously performed, we obtained active RH demonstrating the feasibility of the process for active hydrogenase production.
Conclusion: Our results affirm the viability of the previously developed auto-induction strategy also for a functional hydrogenase with the complex maturation process. This significantly accelerates the process and enhances hydrogenase productivity.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Letters is the world’s leading rapid-publication primary journal dedicated to biotechnology as a whole – that is to topics relating to actual or potential applications of biological reactions affected by microbial, plant or animal cells and biocatalysts derived from them.
All relevant aspects of molecular biology, genetics and cell biochemistry, of process and reactor design, of pre- and post-treatment steps, and of manufacturing or service operations are therefore included.
Contributions from industrial and academic laboratories are equally welcome. We also welcome contributions covering biotechnological aspects of regenerative medicine and biomaterials and also cancer biotechnology. Criteria for the acceptance of papers relate to our aim of publishing useful and informative results that will be of value to other workers in related fields.
The emphasis is very much on novelty and immediacy in order to justify rapid publication of authors’ results. It should be noted, however, that we do not normally publish papers (but this is not absolute) that deal with unidentified consortia of microorganisms (e.g. as in activated sludge) as these results may not be easily reproducible in other laboratories.
Papers describing the isolation and identification of microorganisms are not regarded as appropriate but such information can be appended as supporting information to a paper. Papers dealing with simple process development are usually considered to lack sufficient novelty or interest to warrant publication.
