Embodiment 1

[0059] Cloning of polymer synthase genes from chromobacteria.

[0060] First, the genomic DNA repository does not contain the pigmented bacterium sp.USM2. We put the pigment bacterium sp.USM2 in 50 ml rich nutrient medium (1% peptone, 1% meat extract, 0.5% yeast extract, PH7.0) to culture at 30 degrees, and then the chromosome can be obtained from the microorganism by standard method DNA.

[0061] We prepared a probe to obtain a polymer synthase-containing DNA fragment from the pigmented bacterium sp.USM2. Two region-specific oligonucleotides were designed using NCBI database as a reference, and SEQ ID No. 3 and No. 4 were synthesized.

[0062] We used these oligonucleotides as primers and the chromosomal DNA of pigmented bacteria as a template to amplify the polymer synthase gene by PCR. PCR was performed for 30 cycles, each cycle including reaction at 95°C for 20 seconds, 60°C for 180 seconds, and 60°C for 180 seconds.

Embodiment 2

[0065] Preparation of hookworm transformants

[0066] The ApaI and SalI polymer synthase gene fragments were written into the cloning vector pGEM-T (agarose), which was previously cut with the same restriction enzymes. This fragment was then digested by ApaI and SalI restriction endonucleases. The final product ApaI-SalI polymerase gene fragment is written into the recombinant vector pBBR1MCS-2 (this vector can be expressed in the microorganisms of the genus Cuprophorus), and the recombinant plastid is transcribed into the PHB-4 of the genus Ancylostoma ( DSM 541) (strain unable to synthesize polymer).

[0067] First, we transformed Escherichia coli S17-1 with plasmid recombinants by the calcium chloride method. From this, we obtained Escherichia coli recombinant and recombined Hookworm C. PHB-4. We first cultured the recombinant Escherichia coli and C. hookworm PHB-4 in medium containing 1.5 ml of LB and nutrient-enriched medium respectively overnight, and then mixed 1 ml ...

Embodiment 3

[0070] Polymers were synthesized using a transformant of C. nectar.

[0071] We inoculate in 50 milliliters of mineral culture medium (3.32g / L disodium hydrogen phosphate, 2.8g / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.54g / L urea) with each copper greedy hookworm H16, copper greedy hookworm transformation strain, This medium contains 1ml / L trace elements. Put all these substances into flasks and incubate at 30 degrees. We added 50mg / L kanamycin to the transformant strain of C. hookworm, and cultured these microorganisms for 48-72 hours.

[0072] We inoculated each bacterial strain of H16 species, the transformed strain of C. nectar and PHB-4 into the above-mentioned mineral medium containing 5g / L fructose and palm kernel oil, and each strain was cultured in a 250ml flask at 30°C for 72 hours.

[0073] We added sodium valerate (2.5 g / L) for 3-hydroxyvaleric acid (3HV) production. Add 50 mg / L kanamycin to the transformed strain of Copper greedy hookworm. Add different concentratio...

Abstract

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase gene (SEQ ID NO:2) isolated from fresh water Chromobacterium sp. USM2, its amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) and its use to produce polymers incorporating C3 to C7 monomer units, including poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) random copolymer P(3HB-co-3HHx), poly(3- hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxycalerate) random copolymer P(3HB-co-3HV) and P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx) terpolymer. Production of polymer by expression of SEQ ID NO:2 in recombinant hosts including microorganisms such as Cupriavidus or Pseudomonas.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a polymerase and a gene encoding the enzyme. In particular, the present invention provides a functional gene encoding the polymerase, a recombinant vector containing the gene, a transformant transformed by the vector, and a process for preparing the polymerase, which involves To use transformants to synthesize plastic polymers. Background technique [0002] Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polymers found in microorganisms that have properties very close to those of major commercial plastic materials. Most PHAs are thermoplastics with the added benefit of artificial biodegradation and can be thermally processed in a manner similar to synthetic plastics derived from petrochemicals. PHAs are also inherently renewable, as they can be produced from renewable resources such as sugars, vegetable oils, and carbon dioxide. Poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid is the earliest discovered type of PHA, and it is also the most common PHA in...
