摘要
The effect of preinduction specific growth rate on the yield of recombinant alpha consensus interferon in Escherichia coli K‐12 was investigated. The cells used in the investigation contain a temperature‐sensitive, walkaway plasmid bearing an insert that codes for alpha consensus interferon. Transcription of the recombinant gene is controlled by a lambda repressor/pL promoter system. The lambda promoter is regulated by the temperature‐sensitive gene cl857 at 30 °C, but at 42 °C the promoter is derepressed. The cells were grown under glucose‐limited conditions in a chemostat at pH 7 and 30 °C. Once steady state was achieved, the vessel temperature was raised to 42 °C and a fed‐batch mode was initiated. Six dilution rates ranging from 0.025/h to 0.2/h were investigated. Cell dry weight, alpha consensus interferon content, glucose concentration, acetate concentration, and plasmid stability were measured. At each dilution rate, the expression level of alpha consensus interferon (g/g of cell dry wt) reached its maximum value approximately 3 h after induction. In addition, the expression level of alpha consensus interferon increases 4‐fold as the dilution rate prior to induction is increased from 0.025/h to 0.2/h. Consequently, the expression of recombinant protein produced by E. coli is dependent on the preinduction specific growth rate. Copyright © 1990 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)
