Characterization of the mutant lytic state in lambda expression systemsBiotechnology and Bioengineering - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 369-377 - 1992
Nandan Padukone, S. Peretti, David F. Ollis
AbstractThe two propagative phases of bacteriophage lambda, lysogeny and lysis,
can be used in concert to enhance productivity of recombinant expression
systems. Lambda vectors carrying mutations to prevent both cell lysis and λ DNA
packaging in the lytic state have been shown to yield 100% stability of the
product gene in lysogeny and to produce up to 15% of total cell protein as
product β‐galact... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of cycling on the stability of plasmid‐bearing microorganisms in continuous cultureBiotechnology and Bioengineering - Tập 31 Số 5 - Trang 464-469 - 1988
M. L. Stephens, G. Lyberatos
AbstractThe implication of the possible existence of differences in the times
required for plasmid‐bearing and non‐plasmid‐bearing microorganisms to adjust
their metabolic activities to step changes in their environment is examined.
This adaptability difference suggests the possibility of maintaining an
engineered strain in continuous culture by transient operation. It is shown for
the case where ... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of the hok/sok killer locus for enhanced plasmid stabilityBiotechnology and Bioengineering - Tập 44 Số 8 - Trang 912-921 - 1994
Kuo‐Wei Wu, Thomas K. Wood
AbstractThe effectiveness of the hok/sok plasmid stability locus and mechanism
of cloned‐gene loss was evaluated in shake‐flask cultures. Addition of the
hok/sok locus dramitically increasedapparent plasmid segregational stability to
the hok/sok− control. In terms of the number of generations before 10%of the
population became plasmid‐free, segregational stability was increased by 11‐ to
20‐fold i... hiện toàn bộ
Two‐stage fermentation with bacteriophage λ as an expression vector in Escherachia coliBiotechnology and Bioengineering - Tập 37 Số 4 - Trang 297-302 - 1991
Tai Hyun Park, Jin‐Ho Seo, Henry C. Lim
AbstractThe potential of bacteriophage λ as an expression vector for a large
scale production of cloned‐gene proteins was evaluated in batch and continuous
bioreactors using a temperature‐sensitive mutant in the cl gene, which allows a
simple manipulation of temperature as a means to control the phage in the
lysogenic or lytic state. A temperature switch from 32°C (or below) to 38°C (or
above) for... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of controlled feeding of glycerol on β‐galactosidase production byEscherichia coliin batch cultureBiotechnology and Bioengineering - Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 1179-1188 - 1973
Peter P. Gray, P. Dunnill, M. D. Lilly
AbstractA mutant ofE. coliconstitutive for β‐galactosidase has been grown in
batch culture with the carbon source, glycerol, fed at various fixed rates to
the culture. High feeding rates where growth was only slightly restricted gave
final enzyme levels similar to those obtained in cultures where all the glycerol
was added initially. Low feeding rates resulted in breakdown of the
β‐galactosidase f... hiện toàn bộ
Metabolite profiling for analysis of yeast stress response during very high gravity ethanol fermentationsBiotechnology and Bioengineering - Tập 90 Số 6 - Trang 703-714 - 2005
Rasmus Devantier, Britta Scheithauer, Silas G. Villas‐Bôas, Sven Pedersen, Lisbeth Olsson
AbstractA laboratory strain and an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
were grown at high substrate concentration, so‐called very high gravity (VHG)
fermentation. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was applied
in a batch process using 280 g/L maltodextrin as carbon source. It was shown
that known ethanol and osmotic stress responses such as decreased growth rate,
lower ... hiện toàn bộ
Opportunities for renewable bioenergy using microorganismsBiotechnology and Bioengineering - Tập 100 Số 2 - Trang 203-212 - 2008
Bruce E. Rittmann
AbstractGlobal warming can be slowed, and perhaps reversed, only when society
replaces fossil fuels with renewable, carbon‐neutral alternatives. The best
option is bioenergy: the sun's energy is captured in biomass and converted to
energy forms useful to modern society. To make a dent in global warming,
bioenergy must be generated at a very high rate, since the world today uses ∼10
TW of fossil‐fu... hiện toàn bộ
