Hybrid promoter-PhaCAB-Bktb

This is a composite part that was created to allow us to test the functionality of BktB. PHA operon is known to produce bioplastic PHB. The coexpression of the BktB allow the production of copolymer, PHBV.

Usage and Biology

The BktB was isolated from R. eutropha H16 and being recognised as a phaA paralogous, which allows the formation of 3-ketovaleryl-CoA and leads to PHBV production. In order to enhance the 3HV fraction in PHBV, paralog bktB was introduced into E. coli BL21 (DE3) with co-expression of phaCAB operon from Ralstonia eutropha.

Results and Discussion

E. coli strain BL21 (DE3) that harboured these two plasmids was spread on the Nile red agar plates with negative control (pSB1C3) respectively, and two plates were exposed to blue light. Compared with negative control, the strong Nile red fluorescence from strains that harboured either pSB1C3-phaCAB-bktB or pSB1C3-phaCB-bktB, indicating that PHA (PHB and PHBV) production was assessed after 24 hours.

Paralogous gene bktB represented similar function with phaA gene in the pathway, which showed higher specificity to C5 monomers contributed to the PHBV productivity and 3HV fraction. Although gas chromatograph remained to be done to analyse PHBV composition, lower melting temperature still gave strong suggestion that replace phaA gene with bktB could significantly increase the PHBV content in PHA production and co-expression of two genes would show small increase of PHBV production. Combined with the culture condition optimisation, cells harbouring pSB1C3-phaCB-bktB showed great potential to improve production of PHBV with higher 3HV fraction.

Future work

Gas chromatograph analysis remain to be done to give more specific information about the composition of extracted PHA products including the percentage of PHBV content and the fraction of 3HV in PHBV, which are essential for confirming the effect of bktB on PHBV production.
