Abstract

IPTG induction caused a sudden drop of alkali consumption rate during cultivation of a recombinant E. coli with ${\beta}$-galactosidase structural gene under T7 promoter on a plasmid. A series of batch cultivations showed the positive correlation of the decrease of alkali consumption and the level of expression. However, repeated IPTG induction did not cause any variation of alkali consumption rate. Supplementation of medium even at stationary phase enhanced the level of ${\beta}$-galactosidase expression. These results suggests that the drop of alkali consumption rate by IPTG induction represents the rate of expression.

대장균을 회분배양하면서 알칼리소비속도를 온라인으로 모니터하고, 대수증식기에 IPTG로 재조합 단백질의 발현을 유도시키면 알칼리소비속도가 급격하게 감소하는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 회분배양을 서로 다른 조건에서 7회 실시하고 ${\beta}$-galactosidase의 발현량과 발현유도 직후 알칼리 소비속도의 감소를 비교하여 알칼리소비의 감소가 클수록 발현량이 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 IPTG를 재투입하여도 발현량은 증가하지 않았고 배지를 추가로 공급하면 발현량이 증가한다는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 외래단백질의 발현속도는 초기의 IPTG 투입시 결정되고 이후의 재조합단백질의 생산은 배지의 공급에 의하여 제한된다고 판단할 수 있다. 이와 같은 알칼리 소비속도는 Casamino acid를 질소원으로 사용할 경우 관찰 되었으나 Yeast extract를 유일한 탄소원으로 사용할 경우에는 관찰되지 않았다.
