A two-step fermentation process for efficient production of penta-N-acetyl-chitopentaose in recombinant Escherichia coli

The nodC gene from Mesorhizobium loti was cloned into E. coli, leading to production of chitin oligosaccharides (COs)—mainly penta-N-acetyl-chitopentaose. A two-step fermentation procedure was then developed which gave 930 mg CO/L with a productivity of 37 mg/l·h.     

苜蓿根瘤菌nodC蛋白在大肠杆菌中的过量生成和分离纯化

苜蓿根瘤菌（Ｒｈｉｚｏｂｉｕｍｍｅｌｉｌｏｔｉ）ｎｏｄＣ蛋白是结瘤基因ｎｏｄＣ编码的４３ｋＤ多肽（ＮｏｄＣ）。应用噬菌体Ｔ７ＲＮＡ聚合酶／启动子表达系统．ｐＴ７－５作为载体质粒．构建了带有ｎｏｄＣ基因的ＰＢＦ６克隆．经诱导在大肠杆菌ＪＡＫＥ中获得表达,过量生成ＮｏｄＣ,占细胞总蛋白量的５％。经细胞膜蛋白组份的分离,Ｂｉｏ－ｇｅｌ柱层析,ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ电泳等获得了比较纯化的ＮｏｄＣ。
