Targeted engineering of <i>Cupriavidus necator</i> chromosome for biosynthesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyhexanoate) from vegetable oil
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that heterologous expression of PHA synthase from Aeromonas caviae (PhaCAc), capable of accepting (R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA of C4–C7 as substrates, could confer the ability to PHA-negative mutant of Cupriavidus necator PHB-4 to synthesize poly((R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] from vegetable oils. The mutation point within pha operon in PHB-4 was determined to be a single nonsense mutation within the PHA synthase gene (phaCCn), suggesting the much lower β-ketothiolase and NADPH-dependent acetoacetyl-CoA reductase activities observed in this strain would be a polar effect of the mutation. For further efficient biosynthesis of P(3HB-co-3HHx) copolyester, C. necator wild strain H16 was engineered by homologous recombination targeting the chromosomal phaCCn, and the PHA productivity was compared with previous PHB–4-derived strain harboring phaCAc on a multi-copy plasmid (PHB–4/pJRDEE32d13). A strain H16CAc, in which phaCCn was substituted for phaCAc on the chromosome, could produce P(3HB-co-3HHx) from soybean oil with high productivity, but the 3HHx fraction in the accumulated polymer was decreased. Meanwhile, H16ΔC/pJRDEE32d13, that lost region for the original synthase gene and expresses exochromosomal phaCAc, grew and accumulated PHA with similar properties to the PHB–4-derived strain. The results of enzyme assay suggested that low β-ketothiolase activity might be relevant for decrease of growth ability accompanied by increase of 3HHx composition when soybean oil was fed as a sole carbon source. Key words: poly(hydroxyalkanoates), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate), PHA synthase, Cupriavidus necator, vegetable oil.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
