Codon Optimization> | For the construction of pMAB2 the genes coding for FNR and Fd (SynPcc7942_1499 and SynPcc7942_0979) from Synechococcus elongatus were codon-optimized for C. necator H16 and synthesized by GenScript (Piscataway, NJ, USA). | Get A Quote |
To boost aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO) activity in a Cupriavidus necator strain expressing a synthetic alkane pathway, the expression of two ferredoxin-ferredoxin reductase systems was tested. The genes of a native fd/FNR-like system were identified in C. necator and expressed in a previously engineered alka(e)ne producing strain. The improved production of alka(e)nes in this Re2061-pMAB1 strain confirmed the activity of the native Fd/FNR system in C. necator. Concomitantly, the expression of the heterologous system from Synechococcus elongatus was investigated identically, leading to a second strain, Re2061-pMAB2. In the bioreactor, the aldehyde production was strongly reduced compared with ... More
