Triple knockout of frdC gltA and pta genes enhanced pHA production in Escherichia coli
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a linear polyester produced through the fermentation of sugar or lipid. Biosynthesis of PHA comprises three enzymes known as acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (phaA), acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (phaB) and PHA synthase (phaC). Comamonas sp. is one of the strains commonly used for PHA production. In order to develop higher PHA production from bacterial respond strategy, PHA biosynthesis operon of Comamonas sp. EB172 was introduced into Escherichia coli BW25113 through a pGEM-T vector. E. coli was chosen due to the complete genome information available and the absence of depolymerisation gene, phaZ. In this study, the deletion of several single genes, which are frdC, gltA, and pta, was found to be associated with PHA metabolism activity in E. coli BW25113. P1 transduction was performed to construct multiple genes knockout. The engineered strain, E. coli BW25113 frdCgltApta::kan/pGEM’-phaCABCo, yielded the highest PHA production at 64 wt.% with 1.4 fold higher than that of control strain of E. coli BW25113/pGEM’-phaCABCo. This strain is potential for industrial application for higher PHA production from E. coli.

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.
