碳源和IPTG诱导对工程菌MM2表达CTB的影响

研究了不同碳源如葡萄糖、乳酸和乙酸以及IPTG诱导对工程菌MM2表达霍乱毒素B亚单位(CTB)的影响。在YC培养基中分别加入0.048mol/L的葡萄糖、0.102mol/L的乳酸和0.167mol/L的乙酸,它们在完全氧化后可产生相同的能量。结果表明,加入葡萄糖会大幅度降低ctb基因的表达水平,其原因和培养过程中pH值下降有关;加入乳酸可提高ctb基因表达水平1.15倍,且不抑制菌体生长;加入乙酸可提高ctb基因的表达水平0.9倍,但对菌体生长有抑制作用。不同时间及不同浓度的IPTG诱导未能提高ctb基因的表达水平,说明lac启动子对ctb基因的表达没有影响或影响很小。

Effects of Carbon Sources and IPTG Induction the Expression of Cholera Toxin Subunit B Gene in Recombinant Escherichia Coli MM2

Effects of different carbon sources including glucose, lactate and acetate and IPTG induction on the expression of ctb gene, which is on the downstream of lac promotor, in recombinant Escherichia coli MM2 were studied. In medium YC were added 0. 048 mol/L glucose, 0. 102mol/L lactate or 0. 167mol/L acetate which separately produce the same energy in the condition of complete oxidization. Addition of glucose largely decreased the expression level of ctb gene because of decrease of pH during culture process. Addition of lactate increased the expression level of ctb gene by 1. 15 fold and did not inhibit the growth of MM2 strain. Addition of acetate increasd the expression level of ctb gene by 0. 97 fold and inhibited the growth of MM2 strain. Induction by IPTG at different time and different concentration did not increase the expression level of ctb gene, so the lac promotor had no or a little influence upon the expression of ctb gene in recombinant MM2 strain.
