Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to recombinant microorganisms having an improved ethylene producing ability, methods of producing the same, and methods of harvesting ethylene from such recombinant organisms. A benefit of the recombinant microorganisms and the methods disclosed herein can include increased production of ethylene from microbial cultures. An additional benefit can be the use of carbon dioxide to produce bio-ethylene useful as a feedstock for the production of plastics, textiles, and chemical materials, and for use in other applications. Another benefit of the methods and systems disclosed herein can include reduction of excess carbon dioxide from the environment.


BACKGROUND

The increased demand for power worldwide has led to an excess of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels such as oil and gas, contributing substantially to what many are calling a global warming crisis. Industry is so desperate to prevent carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere that they have resorted to sequestering carbon dioxide from exhaust streams and the atmosphere. They then store the carbon dioxide in subterranean environments. However, all current known methods just remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by storing it under ground. They do not actually convert the carbon dioxide back into any other useful material.


The limited supply of petroleum and its harmful effects on the environment have prompted developments in renewable sources of fuels and chemicals. Ethylene is the most widely produced organic compound in the world, useful in a broad spectrum of industries including plastics, solvents, and textiles. Ethylene is currently produced by steam cracking fossil fuels or dehydrogenating ethane. With millions of metric tons of ethylene being produced each year, however, more than enough carbon dioxide is produced by such processes to greatly contribute to the global carbon footprint. Producing ethylene through renewable methods would accordingly help to meet the huge demand from the energy and chemical industries, while also helping to protect the environment.


Since ethylene is a potentially renewable feedstock, there has been a great deal of interest in developing technologies to produce ethylene from renewable sources, such as carbon dioxide and biomass. Bio-ethylene is currently produced using ethanol derived from corn or sugar cane. A variety of microbes, including bacteria and fungi, naturally produce ethylene in small amounts. Heterologous expression of an ethylene producing enzyme has been demonstrated in several microbial species, where the hosts have been able to utilize a variety of carbon sources, including lignocellulose and carbon dioxide.


Based on modern history, it is fair to say that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will not be reduced until it becomes profitable to reduce it. There remains a need for improvements in microbial bio-ethylene systems and processes, in order to produce ethylene at a commercial scale. There remains a need to produce hydrocarbons through more efficient renewable technologies. There remains a need to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. There remains a need for improved methods to produce ethylene from a renewable feedstock for industrial and commercial applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Unless otherwise noted, all measurements are in standard metric units.


Unless otherwise noted, all instances of the words “a,” “an,” or “the” can refer to one or more than one of the word that they modify.


Unless otherwise noted, the phrase “at least one of” means one or more than one of an object. For example, “at least one nutrient” means one nutrient, more than one nutrient, or any combination thereof.


Unless otherwise noted, the term “about” refers to ±10% of the non-percentage number that is described, rounded to the nearest whole integer. For example, about 100 ml/minute, would include 90 to 110 ml/minute. Unless otherwise noted, the term “about” refers to ±5% of a percentage number. For example, about 95% would include 90 to 100%. When the term “about” is discussed in terms of a range, then the term refers to the appropriate amount less than the lower limit and more than the upper limit. For example, from about 100 to about 500 ml/minute would include from 90 to 550 ml/minute.


Unless otherwise noted, measurable properties (height, width, length, ratio etc.) as described herein are understood to be averaged measurements.


Unless otherwise noted, the terms “provide”, “provided” or “providing” refer to the supply, production, purchase, manufacture, assembly, formation, selection, configuration, conversion, introduction, addition, or incorporation of any element, amount, component, reagent, quantity, measurement, or analysis of any composition of matter, method or system of any embodiment herein.


Sequence identity is herein defined as a relationship between two or more amino acid (polypeptide or protein) sequences or two or more nucleic acid (polynucleotide) sequences, as determined by comparing the sequences. Usually, sequence identities or similarities are compared over the whole length of the sequences compared. In the art, “identity” also means the degree of sequence relatedness between amino acid or nucleic acid sequences, as the case may be, as determined by the match between strings of such sequences. “Similarity” between two amino acid sequences is determined by comparing the amino acid sequence and its conserved amino acid substitutes of one polypeptide to the sequence of a second polypeptide. “Identity” and “similarity” can be readily calculated by various methods, known to those skilled in the art. In an embodiment, sequence identity is determined by comparing the whole length of the sequences as identified herein.


Exemplary methods to determine identity are designed to give the largest match between the sequences tested. Methods to determine identity and similarity are codified in publicly available computer programs. Exemplary computer program methods to determine identity and similarity between two sequences include e.g. the BestFit, BLASTP (Protein Basic Local Alignment Search Tool), BLASTN (Nucleotide Basic Local Alignment Search Tool), and FASTA (Altschul, S. F. et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990), publicly available from NCBI and other sources (BLAST® Manual, Altschul, S., et al., NCBI NLM NIH Bethesda, Md. 20894). A most exemplary algorithm used is EMBOSS (European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite). Exemplary parameters for amino acid sequences comparison using EMBOSS are gap open 10.0, gap extend 0.5, Blosum matrix. Exemplary parameters for nucleic acid sequences comparison using EMBOSS are gap open 10.0, gap extend 0.5, DNA full matrix (DNA identity matrix). In embodiments, it is possible to compare the DNA/protein sequences among different species to determine the homology of sequences using online data such as Gene bank, KEG, BLAST and Ensemble.


Optionally, in determining the degree of amino acid similarity, the skilled person may also take into account so-called “conservative” amino acid substitutions, as will be clear to the skilled person. Conservative amino acid substitutions refer to the interchangeability of residues having similar side chains. For example, a group of amino acids having aliphatic side chains is glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine; a group of amino acids having aliphatic-hydroxyl side chains is serine and threonine; a group of amino acids having amide-containing side chains is asparagine and glutamine; a group of amino acids having aromatic side chains is phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan; a group of amino acids having basic side chains is lysine, arginine, and histidine; and a group of amino acids having sulphur-containing side chains is cysteine and methionine. Preferred conservative amino acids substitution groups are: valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, and asparagine-glutamine. Substitutional variants of the amino acid sequence disclosed herein are those in which at least one residue in the disclosed sequences has been removed and a different residue inserted in its place. Preferably, the amino acid change is conservative. Preferred conservative substitutions for each of the naturally occurring amino acids are as follows: Ala to ser; Arg to lys; Asn to gln or his; Asp to glu; Cys to ser or ala; Gln to asn; Glu to asp; Gly to pro; His to asn or gln; Ile to leu or val; Leu to ile or val; Lys to arg; gln or glu; Met to leu or ile; Phe to met, leu or tyr; Ser to thr; Thr to ser; Trp to tyr; Tyr to trp or phe; and, Val to ile or leu.


Unless otherwise noted, the term “adapted” or “codon adapted” refers to “codon optimization” of polynucleotides as disclosed herein, the sequence of which may be native or non-native, or may be adapted for expression in other microorganisms. Codon optimization adapts the codon usage for an encoded polypeptide towards the codon bias of the organism in which the polypeptide is to be expressed. Codon optimization generally helps to increase the production level of the encoded polypeptide in the host cell.


Carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the use of fossil fuels continue to rise on a global scale. Reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is a key to mitigating or reversing climate change. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a prominent technology for removal of industrial carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; it has been estimated that over 20 trillion tons of carbon dioxide captured from refining and other industrial processes can be transported and stored in various types of subterranean environments or storage tanks. Although CCS is a cost effective and affordable way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions compared to other currently available methods, the problem remains that the carbon dioxide is merely being stored underground until it escapes. Therefore, CCS methods do not provide a sustainable solution to reduce excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Also, there is little financial incentive for industries to pump carbon dioxide into subterranean environments, unless they are forced to by environmental regulations, or they are paid to do it as part of their business model. Arguably, global warming is a crisis because it is more lucrative to produce carbon dioxide than to dispose of carbon dioxide.


There remains a need to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in more efficient and sustainable ways. There remains a need for technologies that can harness the over-abundance of carbon dioxide to make useful products, and for other applications that are beneficial to industry and the environment.


The challenges of the limited supply of petroleum, and the harmful effects of petroleum operations on the environment, have prompted a growing emphasis on maximizing output from existing resources, and in developing renewable sources of fuels and chemicals that can minimize environmental impacts. Since ethylene is a potentially renewable feedstock, there has been a great deal of interest in developing technologies to produce ethylene from renewable sources, such as carbon dioxide and biomass. Ethylene is the most widely produced organic compound in the world, useful in a broad spectrum of industries including plastics, solvents, and textiles. Ethylene is currently produced by steam cracking fossil fuels or dehydrogenating ethane. With millions of metric tons of ethylene being produced each year, however, more than enough carbon dioxide is produced by such processes to greatly contribute to the global carbon footprint. Producing ethylene through renewable methods would accordingly help to meet the huge demand from the energy and chemical industries, while also helping to protect the environment.


Conventional methods have been developed to produce bio-ethylene using ethanol derived from corn or sugar cane. However, the production of bio-ethylene from biomass (e.g. corn and sugar cane) is a time-consuming and cost-ineffective process, requiring land, transportation, and digestion of biomass. For example, there are massive inefficiencies associated with the growing and transportation of corn and sugar cane, which by itself causes CO2 emission. A variety of microbes, including bacteria and fungi, naturally produce ethylene in small amounts. Such microbes make use of an ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE). A type of ethylene pathway, such as is found in Pseudomonas syringae and Penicillium digitatum, uses alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) and arginine as substrates in a reaction catalyzed by an ethylene-forming enzyme. Ethylene-forming enzymes provide a promising target, because expression of a single gene can be sufficient for ethylene production. Techniques making use of heterologous expression of an EFE have been demonstrated in several microbial species, where the microbial hosts have been able to utilize a variety of carbon sources in the Calvin cycle, including lignocellulose and carbon dioxide. Plus, recent developments in cost-effective high throughput genetic sequencing technologies have led to an increased understanding of microbial gene expression. However, the currently available technologies do not produce industrially relevant quantities of ethylene through microbial activity. There remains a need for improvements in microbial bio-ethylene production that can produce ethylene at a commercial scale. There remains a need for methods to produce ethylene useful for industrial and other applications using carbon dioxide feedstocks.


Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a benefit not only of removing carbon dioxide from the environment along with the benefit of producing a valuable organic compound capable of being sold commercially. Embodiments of the present disclosure can thus provide a renewable alternative to conventional carbon dioxide storage, by using recombinant microbial technology to convert the carbon dioxide into ethylene as a useful organic compound. One benefit of the embodiments of the present disclosure is that the methods can make it economically profitable for an oil or natural gas company to remove carbon dioxide from the environment. An oil company, or a contractor thereof, could instead of pumping carbon dioxide into a subterranean environment or leaving the sequestered carbon dioxide underground, use the carbon dioxide as a carbon source for a culture of recombinant microorganisms to convert the carbon dioxide to ethylene in a cost-effective way. Also, much the carbon dioxide generated by transportation can be avoided because the process can be practiced on-site or would be expected to consumer more carbon dioxide than it produces.


The most effective methods for protecting the environment are those methods that people actually use. The more profitable those methods are; the more likely people are to use them. One of the benefits of the methods disclosed herein is the cost-effectiveness of using a bioreactor system. Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a benefit of engineering a photosynthetic ethylene producing microorganism, by adapting the relevant metabolic signaling pathways to produce ethylene on an industrial scale. Such embodiments can make it profitable to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and to passively generate valuable organic compounds while the microbes do the work—on a scale previously unimaginable.


What would happen to the global warming crisis if it became more profitable, or just as profitable, to convert carbon dioxide into valuable organic compounds as it did to generate the carbon dioxide in the first place? The presently disclosed methods might transform energy producers from global warming companies to global cooling companies.


The present disclosure relates to recombinant microorganisms having an improved ethylene producing ability. The present disclosure relates to methods of producing ethylene, including providing a recombinant microorganism having an improved ethylene producing ability according to various embodiments herein. As a general overview of a method disclosed herein, referring to FIG. 1, the method includes providing a recombinant microorganism expressing at least one EFE protein according to embodiments disclosed herein 102; culturing the recombinant microorganism in a bioreactor culture vessel under conditions sufficient to produce ethylene in the bioreactor culture vessel 104; increasing an amount of ethylene production by adding at least one activator to the culture within the bioreactor culture vessel, or adding carbon dioxide to a culture atmosphere within the bioreactor culture vessel 106; decreasing an amount of ethylene production by removing at least one molecular switch from the cell culture 108; controlling an amount of ethylene produced from the microbial culture by increasing or decreasing the concentration of at least one nutrient or the amount of at least one stimulus when culturing the recombinant microorganism 110; and removing an amount of ethylene produced from the microbial culture by condensing the ethylene from a gaseous to a liquid state 112. As an illustration of a vector plasmid for expression of an EFE protein according to embodiments herein, referring to FIG. 2, a non-native EFE expressing nucleotide sequence is inserted into the vector plasmid of a Chlamydomonas sp. bacterium. As an illustration of a recombinant microorganism having an improved ethylene producing ability herein, referring to the illustration of an SDS-PAGE gel in FIG. 3A and the illustration of a Western blot in FIG. 3B, an EFE protein is expressed from a vector plasmid of an Escherichia sp. bacterium having a non-native EFE expressing nucleotide sequence inserted into the vector plasmid, as shown by the arrows.

Embodiments of producing ethylene herein include culturing a recombinant microorganism in a bioreactor culture under conditions sufficient to produce ethylene in the bioreactor culture vessel. A bioreactor culture according to embodied methods can include one or more suitable reagents or growth media for supporting the growth of the recombinant microorganism culture. Such reagents or culture media can include water, one or more carbohydrates, one or more amino acids or amino acid derivatives, one or more buffers, sea water, Luria broth, Luria Bertani broth, BG-11 media, carbon dioxide, light, temperature, electricity, or combinations thereof.


An embodiment of a method of producing ethylene includes increasing an amount of ethylene production by adding at least one activator to a culture containing the recombinant microorganism located within the bioreactor culture vessel. The addition of such an activator can include increasing a concentration of one or more substrates of the EFE enzyme being expressed by the recombinant microorganism culture. Such a substrate can include alpha-ketoglutarate or arginine, or combinations thereof as well as other sources of carbon such as glycerol and glucose. In other embodiments, adding at least one activator can include adding a molecular switch. In some embodiments, adding at least one activator can include insertion of an inducible promoter upstream of the EFE gene; one such promoter includes an IPTG promoter. In such embodiments, IPTG can be added as a molecular switch to the culture media. In some embodiments, adding at least one activator can include adding one or more nutrients or stimuli to the culture. Such nutrients or stimuli can include one or more carbohydrates, one or more amino acids or amino acid derivatives, one or more EFE substrates, succinate, carbon dioxide, light, temperature, electricity, glycerol, sugars, or combinations thereof. In such embodiments, adding at least one activator to the culture can provide a benefit of controlling the cycles of ethylene production and enhancing the ethylene production rate. In some embodiments, the ethylene produced can be removed from the bioreactor culture vessel as it is produced. In such embodiments, removal of the ethylene can include condensing ethylene produced as a gas into a liquid form for removal from the bioreactor culture vessel.


In an embodiment, a method of producing ethylene includes adding CO2 to a culture atmosphere contained within the bioreactor culture vessel at rate of between about 100 ml/minute and about 500 ml/minute. In an embodiment, the method includes adding CO2 to a culture atmosphere contained within the bioreactor culture vessel at rate of between about 150 ml/minute and about 450 ml/minute.

In an embodiment, a method of producing ethylene includes decreasing an amount of ethylene production by removing at least one molecular switch from the microbial culture containing the recombinant microorganism located within the bioreactor culture vessel. In an embodiment, such a method further includes controlling the amount of ethylene produced from the microbial culture by increasing or decreasing the concentration of at least one nutrient or the amount of at least one stimulus when culturing the recombinant microorganism. In an embodiment, the concentration of at least one nutrient and the amount of at least one stimulus are at a ratio of from about 0.5-1.5 gr./liter to about 0.1 mM in the microbial culture. In an embodiment, such a method further includes removing the amount of ethylene produced from the microbial culture by condensing the ethylene from a gaseous to a liquid state, or wherein the amount of ethylene recovered is from about 0.5 ml to about 10 ml/liter/h. Such embodiments can provide a benefit of controlling the amount of ethylene production by controlling the rate of activity of the Calvin cycle in the microbial culture. For example, it is possible to shift from an expression system to a growth system, where the cells are allowed to grow for 5-7 days and their growth conditions are monitored. When the cells reach an exponential growth condition (meaning that the cells are metabolically active), it is possible to shift from the growth system to an expression system, where the cells are shifted to an ethylene production cycle to produce ethylene for harvesting. This expression system might be maintained for 7 or more days.


EXAMPLES
Example 1. Cloning of Ethylene Forming Enzyme Gene Sequence into Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Vector Plasmid

An EFE (Ethylene Forming Enzyme) protein will be expressed and produced in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Plasmid pChlamy_4-EFE was generated successfully, to be used in EFE protein expression (Creative Enzymes, Shirley, N.Y.).


The polynucleotide coding for the Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. Phaseolicola EFE protein (GenBank: KPB44727.1, SEQ ID NO: 1) was cloned into the pChlamy_4 vector plasmid (ThermoFisher). Other reagents and use of instruments were provided by Creative Biostructure.


The Ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE) gene sequence from strain Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. Phaseolicola (GenBank: KPB44727.1) was used for the preparation of EFE recombinant protein. The corresponding nucleotide sequences were codon adapted for expression in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and synthesized (SEQ ID NO: 3). The EFE construct was cloned into the pChlamy_4 vector with the Kpnl and Pstl restriction enzyme sites.


According to the pChlamy_4vector character, EFE with an N-tag was designed and generated. The pChlamy_4 vector contains the ATG initiation codon (vector ATG) for proper initiation of translation at position 497-499, found at the beginning of the Sh ble gene after the removal of Intron-1 Rbc S2. The FMDV 2A peptide gene flanking the Multiple Cloning Site 1 (MCS1) is in frame with the Sh ble gene. To use the N-terminal 6×His-V5-TEV tag, the EFE sequence was cloned in-frame after the TEV site, into the KphI/PstI digested pChlamy_4 vector. A TAA (stop codon) was designed for proper translation termination. The resulting sequence chromatogram is shown in FIG. 2; referring to FIG. 2, the EFE protein gene coding sequences are shown in the arrow labeled “EFE-protein”. An open reading frame orientation was confirmed by plasmid validation by nucleotide sequencing.


Example 2: Protein Expression Evaluation of Expression of EFE in E. coli

The polynucleotide coding for the Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. Phaseolicola EFE protein (GenBank: KPB44727.1, SEQ ID NO: 1) was cloned into the pET-30a(+) vector plasmid. The corresponding nucleotides sequences were codon adapted for expression in E. coli (SEQ ID NO: 4), containing an optional His tag at the C-terminal end followed by a stop codon and HindII site (SEQ ID NO: 9). An NdeI site was used for cloning at the 5-prime end, where the NdeI site contains an ATG start codon (SEQ ID NO: 8). E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells were transformed with the recombinant plasmid. A single colony was inoculated into LB medium containing kanamycin; cultures were incubated in 37° C. at 200 rpm. Once cell density reached to OD=0.6-0.8 at 600 nm, 0.5 mM IPTG was introduced for induction. A pilot expression of EFE (about 44.5 kDa)_BL21(DE3) was conducted. SDS-PAGE (FIG. 3A) and Western blotting (FIG. 3B) were used to monitor the EFE protein expression (GenScript USA, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.). Referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B:

The results of SDS-PAGE and Western blots showed that EFE was expressed in E. coli. The highest EFE expression conditions were found with induction for 16 h at 15° C. that resulted in an expression level of 5 mg/L and a solubility of 30%.


Example 3: Recombinant EFE and AKGP Expressing Nucleotide Sequences Adapted for Expression in Synechococcus spp. Bacteria

A combined polynucleotide sequence (EFE_-P2A-aKGP, SEQ ID NO: 7) for expressing the EFE protein and for expressing the AKGP protein (SEQ ID NO. 2) was generated, after adaptation of the nucleotide sequence for expression in Cyanobacteria species Synechococcus elongates and Synechococcus leopoliensis (GenScript, Piscataway, N.J.). An codon adaptation analysis algorithm was used which adapts a variety of parameters that are critical to the efficiency of gene expression, including but not limited to codon usage bias, GC content, CpG dinucleotide content, mRNA secondary structure, cryptic splicing sites, premature PolyA sites, internal chi sites and ribosomal binding sites, negative CpG islands, RNA instability motif (ARE), repeat sequences (direct repeat, reverse repeat, and Dyad repeat), and restriction sites that may interfere with cloning. A codon usage bias adjustment was performed using the distribution of codon usage frequency along the length of the gene sequence, with a resulting Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) of 0.95. A CAI of 1.0 is considered to be perfect in the desired expression organism, and a CAI of greater than 0.8 is regarded as good, in terms of high gene expression level. The Frequency of Optimal Codons (FOP) was measured as the percentage distribution of favorable codons in computed codon quality groups, with the value of 100 set for the codon with the highest usage frequency for a given amino acid in the desired expression organism. A result of 80% of the codons was found in the highest codon quality group of 91-100, 3% in the second highest quality group of 81-90, and 14% in the third highest quality group of 71-80. A GC content adjustment was performed resulting in an average GC content of 56.46%, with the ideal percentage range of GC content being between 30-70%. One optional HindIII cloning site (SEQ ID NO: 12) was incorporated at the 5-prime end at position 1 of the sequence; one optional Kpnl cloning site (SEQ ID NO: 13) was incorporated at the 3-prime end at position 2524 of the sequence.


The corresponding combined EFE and AKGP amino acid sequences expressed by SEQ ID. NO. 7 have a P2A cleavage sequence (SEQ ID NO: 11) inserted between the EFE and AKGP amino acid sequences. The encoded amino acid sequence having the EFE and AKGP sequence together is shown in SEQ ID NO. 5 (EFE-P2A_pSyn_6 (No His). An optional His-TEV sequence may be included at the N-terminus (SEQ ID NO: 10), resulting in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 6 (EFE-P2A-aKGP_pSyn_6).


Example 4: Lab Scale Experimental Procedures

1. Tailored-designed DNA constructions will be generated that encode the critical intermediates of a synthetic bio-ethylene pathway. 2. Carefully selected photosynthetic microorganisms will then be expanded for cloning and gene expression. 3. Genetic and metabolic engineering of microorganisms will then be performed for continuous production of bio-ethylene. 4. Bioengineered microorganisms will then be selected and expanded in a photobioreactor. 5. Bioreactor culture conditions (including CO2 concentration, light exposure time and wave-length, temperature, pH) will be adapted. 6. Samples will be collected and analyzed by HPLC to measure bio-ethylene synthesis. 7. Bio-ethylene production in genetically engineered microorganisms will be adapted. 8. Ethylene production processes will be scaled up.


Example 5: Engineering the Production of AKG in Cyanobacteria

Previous work has shown that deletion of the glgC gene leads to an increase in AKG production in Cyanobacteria. It has also been shown that over expression of the ppc gene (SEQ ID NO. 14, Genbank P74299), which encodes phosphoenolpyruvate synthase (SEQ ID NO. 15), and the gltA gene (SEQ ID NO. 16, Genbank Q59977), which encodes citrate synthase (SEQ ID NO. 17), can enhance the production of AKG as a substrate for producing other compounds. Based on this research, two categories of genes were chosen, including genes that are related directly to AKG synthesis and secretion pathways, including ppc and gltA (overexpression), and genes that are involved in energy storage pathways, including glgC (deletion), which plays a critical role in the glycogen synthesis pathway. A construct of ppc-p2A-gltA (SEQ ID NO. 18) was created for cloning into the pSyn6 plasmid before integration into Synechococcus elongatus and growth of transformed colonies. PCR was performed on pSyn6-PPC-gltA colonies to confirm the expression of the construct in Cyanobacteria; an expected band size for PPC-gltA of 4621 base pairs was observed.


For the overexpression of AKG in Cyanobacteria, a construct of an IDH gene (SEQ ID NO: 19), which encodes isocitrate dehydrogenase (SEQ ID NO. 20), was made by cloning the IDH gene into the pSyn6 plasmid. Successful cloning of the IDH gene into the pSyn6-IDH plasmid was confirmed by growth of bacterial colonies FIG. 5A) and by gel electrophoresis and DNA analysis (FIG. 6). Synechococcus elongatus strain 52434-IDH integrating the IDH construct was confirmed by bacterial culture growth (FIG. 9B) and gel electrophoresis and DNA analysis (FIG. 9A). Cell culture growth was shown to be improved significantly by increasing the bicarbonate concentration in the growth medium by 0.5 g/L or 1.0 g/L. A plasmid for deletion of the glgC gene (SEQ ID NO. 21, Genbank CP000100.1), which encodes glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase (SEQ ID NO. 22), in Cyanobacteria (Synechococcus elongatus), was also made and confirmed.


Example 6: Engineering the Production of Sucrose in Cyanobacteria

For production of sucrose in Cyanobacteria, a construct of a cscB gene from E. coli (SEQ ID. NO. 23, Genbank P300000), which encodes sucrose permease (SEQ ID NO. 24), was made by cloning of the cscB gene into the pSyn6 plasmid. Successful cloning of the cscB gene into the pSyn6-cscB construct was confirmed by bacterial colony growth (FIG. 5B) and by gel electrophoresis and DNA analysis (FIG. 6). Synechococcus elongatus strain UTEX 52434 (52434-cscB) integrating cscB was confirmed by bacterial culture growth (FIG. 7B) and by gel electrophoresis and DNA analysis (FIG. 7A).


In addition to the overexpression of the cscB gene, and the deletion of the glgC gene, other gene targets include overexpression of the sps gene (SEQ ID NO. 25, Genbank A0A0H3KOV9), which encodes sucrose phosphate synthase (SEQ ID NO. 26); the spp gene (SEQ ID NO. 27, Genbank Q7BII3), which encodes sucrose-6-phosphatase (SEQ ID NO. 28), the glgP gene (SEQ ID NO. 29, Genbank Q31RP3), which encodes glycogen phosphorylase (SEQ ID NO. 30), and the galU gene (SEQ ID NO. 31, Genbank P0AEP3), which encodes UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (SEQ ID NO. 32), to reroute the intermediates to sucrose. In addition, deletion of the inv gene (SEQ ID NO. 33, Genbank P74573), which encodes invertase (SEQ ID NO. 34), and the ggpS gene (SEQ ID NO. 35, Genbank P74258), which encodes glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase (SEQ ID NO. 36), will prevent conversion to alternative products; and deletion of the glgA gene (SEQ ID NO. 37, Genbank P74521), which encodes glycogen synthase (SEQ ID NO. 38), will eliminate the conversion of substrate to glycogen, which potentially can increase the sucrose yield.


Example 7: Engineering the Production of Ethylene in E. coli

For engineering production of ethylene in E. coli, gene construct pUC-EFE (SEQ ID NO. 39) was made encoding ethylene forming enzyme (EFE) under an IPTG-inducible promoter in a high copy number plasmid, pUC19. Expression of the PUC-EFE plasmid in E. coli was confirmed by colony growth on agar media supplemented with ampicillin, IPTG and X-gal, and observance of the expected band size of 2322 base pairs by gel electrophoresis and DNA analysis (FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B). In FIG. 8A, the arrow shows the EFE DNA construct; in FIG. 8B, the arrow shows the DNA element controlling plasmid copy number. DNA sequencing results confirmed the presence of the plasmid. EFE production was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis. Ethylene expression levels of 5 mg/L and 30% solubility were observed under induction conditions of 16 hours at 15 degrees Celsius.


For engineering production of ethylene in E. coli, a plasmid was constructed for continuous production of EFE in E. coli. In all approaches, the EFE expression was under control of the chloroplast psbA promoter. In a first construct EFE-AKGP-psbA (SEQ ID NO. 40), the EFE and AKGP genes were placed under control of the psbA promoter (SEQ ID NO. 41) and the rrnB terminator (SEQ ID NO. 42). In a second construct EFE-psbA (SEQ ID NO. 43), only EFE gene expression was placed under control of the psbA promoter (SEQ ID NO. 41) and the T7 terminator (SEQ ID NO. 44). Both constructs were cloned into a pUC19 plasmid backbone, to take advantage of the high copy number of the plasmid, before expressing the protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3), DH5alpha, or MG1655 cell lines. A pUC-psb-EFE plasmid was constructed (SEQ ID NO. 45).


The effect of growth media, as well as AKG and arginine supplementation, on ethylene production was measured. The results indicated that a maximum ethylene production of 0.037 lb/gallon/month for E. coli BL 21 PUC19 EFE was obtained when fermented under the conditions shown in Table 1.
