Abstract
Microbeads of biodegradable polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) offer environmental benefits and economic competitiveness. The aim of this study was to encapsulate a water-soluble bioactive compound, niacinamide (NIA), in a pH-responsive natural matrix composed of PHB and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) by double emulsification (W1/O/W2) to improve the encapsulation efficiency (%EE) and loading capacity (%LC). PHB was produced in-house by Escherichia coli JM109 pUC19-23119phaCABA-04 without the inducing agent isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The influences of PHB and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentrations, stirring rate, PHB/CAP ratio and initial NIA concentration on the properties of NIA-loaded pH-responsive microbeads were studied. The NIA-loaded pH-responsive PHB/CAP microbeads exhibited a spherical core-shell structure. The average size of the NIA-loaded pH-responsive microbeads was 1243.3 ± 11.5 μm. The EE and LC were 33.3 ± 0.5 % and 28.5 ± 0.4 %, respectively. The release profiles of NIA showed pH-responsive properties, as 94.2 ± 3.5 % of NIA was released at pH 5.5, whereas 99.3 ± 2.4 % of NIA was released at pH 7.0. The NIA-loaded pH-responsive PHB/CAP microbeads were stable for >90 days at 4 °C under darkness, with NIA remaining at 73.65 ± 1.86 %. A cytotoxicity assay in PSVK1 cells confirmed that the NIA-loaded pH-responsive PHB/CAP microbeads were nontoxic at concentrations lower than 31.3 μg/mL, in accordance with ISO 10993-5.

Abstract
Genome reduction has been emerged as a powerful tool to construct ideal chassis for synthetic biology. Random genome reduction couple genomic deletion with growth and has the potential to construct optimum genome for a given environment. Recently, we developed a transposon-mediated random deletion (TMRD) method that allows the random and continuous reduction of Escherichia coli genome. Here, to prove its ability in constructing optimal cell factories, we coupled polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation with random genome reduction and proceeded to reduce the E. coli genome. Five mutants showed high biomass and PHB yields were selected from 18 candidates after ten rounds of genome reduction. And eight or nine genomic fragments (totally 230.1–270.0 Kb) were deleted in their genomes, encompassing 4.95%–5.82% of the parental MG1655 genome. Most mutants displayed better growth, glucose utilization, protein expression, and significant increase of electroporation efficiency compared with MG1655. The PHB content and concentration enhanced up to 13.3%–37.2% and 60.2%–102.9% when batch fermentation was performed in M9-glucose medium using the five mutants. Particularly, in mutant H16, lacking 5.28% of its genome, the increase of biomass and PHB concentration were more than 50% and 100% compared with MG1655, respectively. This work expands the strategy for creating streamlined chassis to improve the production of high value-added products.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:837944. [PMID: 35721860 PMCID: PMC9204107 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.837944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
An antibiotic- and inducer-free culture condition was proposed for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production in recombinant Escherichia coli. First, antibiotic-free vectors were constructed by installing the plasmid maintenance system, alp7, hok/sok, and the hok/sok and alp7 combination into the pUC19 vector. The plasmid stability test showed that pVEC02, the pUC19 vector containing the hok/sok system, was the most effective in achieving antibiotic-free cultivation in the E. coli B strain but not in the K strain. Second, the putative phaCAB operon derived from Caldimonas manganoxidans was inserted into pVEC02 to yield pPHB01 for PHB production in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The putative phaCAB operon was first shown function properly for PHB production and thus, inducer-free conditions were achieved. However, the maintenance of pPHB01 in E. coli requires antibiotics supplementation. Finally, an efficient E. coli ρ factor-independent terminator, thrLABC (ECK120033737), was inserted between the phaCAB operon and the hok/sok system to avoid possible transcriptional carry-over. The newly constructed plasmid pPHB01-1 facilitates an antibiotic- and inducer-free culture condition and induces the production of PHB with a concentration of 3.0 on0.2 g/L, yield of 0.26 /L0.07 g/g-glucose, and content of 44 /g3%. The PHB production using E. coli BL21 (DE3)/pPHB01-1 has been shown to last 84 and 96 h in the liquid and solid cultures.
