[0228] Recombinant Escherichia coli containing putative sucrose metabolism genes

[0229] The purpose of this example is to construct the BAA-477) a putative sucrose metabolism gene and a recombinant E. coli strain capable of producing 1,3-propanediol (PDO) from sucrose.

[0230] Using the high-fidelity polymerase Phusion TM Flash (Finnzymes Oy, Espoo, Finland), the Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf5 genes lacY (SEQ ID NO: 23) and scrB (SEQ ID NO: 25) (which are adjacent genes) were obtained by PCR amplification using the following conditions and the promoter region upstream of the Pf5 gene lacY: 98°C / 10 sec; 30 cycles of 98°C / 1 sec, 63°C / 30 sec, and 72°C / 30 sec; then 72°C / 5 min, with fluorescence from The genomic DNA of Pseudomonas Pf5 was used as a template, and the primers used were shown in SEQ ID NO:56 and SEQ ID NO:57.

[0231] One adenosine nucleotide ("A") was added to the 3' end of the 3063 bp PCR product with Taq polymerase at 72°C for 10 minutes. PCR products were ...

[0239] Production of 1,3-propanediol from sucrose

[0240] The purpose of this example is to demonstrate the presence of BAA-477) an E. coli strain with putative sucrose metabolism genes was able to metabolize sucrose and produce 1,3-propanediol (PDO) and glycerol.

[0241] E. coli strains PDO2241 and PDO2242 described in Example 1 were grown overnight at 33°C in Miller's modified L-Broth (Teknova, Half Moon Bay, CA) supplemented with 100 mg / L spectinomycin and 100 mg / L ampicillin . These cultures were used to inoculate shake flasks at an optical density of 0.01 units measured at 550 nm in MOPS minimal medium (Teknova, Half Moon Bay, CA) supplemented with 11 g / L sucrose. Vitamin B12 was added to the medium to a concentration of 0.1 mg / L. The cultures were incubated at 34°C with shaking (225 rpm) for 24 hours, after which the concentrations of sucrose, glycerol and 1,3-propanediol (PDO) in the above broths were determined by high performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract

Recombinant bacteria capable of metabolizing sucrose are described. The recombinant bacteria comprise in their genome or on at least one recombinant construct: a nucleotide sequence from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf5 (ATCC TM BAA-477) encoding a polypeptide having sucrose transporter activity and a nucleotide sequence from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf5 (ATCC TM BAA-477) encoding a polypeptide having sucrose hydrolase activity. These nucleotide sequences are each operably linked to the same or a different promoter. Recombinant bacteria capable of metabolizing sucrose to produce glycerol and / or glycerol-derived products such as 1,3-propanediol and 3-hydroxypropionic acid are also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the fields of microbiology and molecular biology. More specifically, the present invention provides recombinant bacteria having the ability to utilize sucrose as a carbon source and methods of using such recombinant bacteria to produce products such as glycerol and glycerol-derived products. Background technique [0002] Many commercially useful microorganisms can utilize glucose as their primary carbohydrate source. However, a disadvantage of glucose utilization by microorganisms developed to produce commercially desirable products is the high cost of glucose. The use of sucrose and blended feedstocks containing sucrose and other sugars as a carbohydrate source for microbial production systems is commercially desirable because these materials are generally readily available at lower cost. [0003] Production microorganisms can operate more efficiently when they can utilize any sucrose present in the mixed feedstock. ...
