Molecular Weight Change of Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Caused by the PhaC Subunit of PHA Synthase from Bacillus cereus YB-4 in Recombinant Escherichia coli

Abstract: Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-producing Bacillus strains possess class IV PHA synthases composed of two subunit types, namely, PhaR and PhaC. In the present study, PHA synthases from Bacillus megaterium NBRC15308(T) (PhaRC(Bm)), B. cereus YB-4 (PhaRC(YB4)), and hybrids (PhaR(Bm)C(YB4) and PhaR(YB4)C(Bm)) were expressed in Escherichia coli JM109 to characterize the molecular weight of the synthesized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)]. PhaRC(Bm) synthesized P(3HB) with a relatively high molecular weight (M(n) = 890 … Show more

“…The most important genes that involves in PHB production in Bacillus strains were phaA and phaR, phaB, phaC [3,23]. On the other hand, Valappil et al [25] and Tomizawa et al [14] proved that in Bacillus genus, two proteins, PhaC, the normal PHA synthase enzyme, and PhaR have been proven to be essential for the PHA synthase activity. The PHA synthases was exist in two forms; an active form in PHAaccumulating cells and an inactive form in non-accumulating cells, where PhaC is more susceptible to degradation in cell [18].…”

“…PHA biosynthetic genes from different species were cloned for mass production of PHAs for commercial use [6,[11][12][13]. Tomizawa et al [14] studied the expression of PHA synthases from Bacillus megaterium NBRC15308 (PhaRCBm), B. cereus YB-4 (PhaRCYB4) and hybrids (PhaRBmCYB4 and PhaRYB4CBm) in Escherichia coli JM109 to characterize the molecular weight of the synthesized poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) [P (3HB)].…”

“…Under the same cultivation condition, the PHA produced from 10 g/L glucose, represented the highest Mw compared to 20 g/L glucose and 10 g/L mixed organic acids. These molecular weights were found to be higher than the PHA polymer synthesized by the recombinant E. coli, expressing a different PHA synthase [44,45]. The highest Mw was achieved from batch fermentation with 10 g/L glucose, whereas the lowest PDI was obtained from the fermentation of mixed acids (Table 6).…”
