Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemical Engineering

Background:

  • Recombinant bacterial cells often exhibit heterogeneous plasmid copy numbers, deviating from simplified assumptions.
  • Previous studies highlight the limitations of assuming uniform plasmid distribution in fermentation processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model the macroscopic distribution of plasmid copy numbers per cell in a Gaussian form.
  • To optimize glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) production in Escherichia coli by considering plasmid number variance.

Main Methods:

  • Representing plasmid copy number distribution using a Gaussian function for biomass fraction.
  • Applying an experimentally validated kinetic model to GAPDH synthesis in Escherichia coli with plasmid pBR Eco gap.

    • Main Results:

    • GAPDH production is maximized by a specific initial (non-zero) plasmid copy number variance.
    • An optimal fermentation duration was identified for maximizing protein yield.
    • The study demonstrates the impact of plasmid heterogeneity on recombinant protein synthesis.

    Conclusions:

    • A Gaussian distribution effectively models plasmid copy number heterogeneity in recombinant bacteria.
    • Optimizing plasmid variance and fermentation time enhances GAPDH production.
    • Discretizing the plasmid distribution and preparing corresponding inocula can improve bioreactor implementation.
