STUDY ON THE LARGE-SCALE FERMENTATION OF THE RECOMBINANT STRAIN ESCHERICHIA COLI BL21 HARBORING GENE ENCODING LIPASE OF BACILLUS SUBTILIS FS2
Abstract
The lipase of Bacillus subtilis FS2 is an extracellular enzyme which consists of 181 amino acids and enable to hydrolysis ester bonds of long-chain acyl glyceride (C > 10). The gene encoding lipase was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. The fermentation processs of recombinant strain E. coli BL21 harboring gene lip was studied with different culturing media, it was shown that the LB medium was the best for growing of E coli strain compare to the others. The biomass obtained from fermentation batehs of the recombinant strain E. coli BL21-Lip was 21 g/1 in 1 liter fermenter. 20 g/1 in 10 liter fermenter and 16 g/1 in 200 liter fermenter under optimal conditions at 30°C after 4 hours with 0.5 mM Isopropyl P-D-thiogalactosidase as an inducer. Maximum value of ODooo for the fermentation process of therecombinant strain E. coli BL21-Lip on LB medium reached 143 using the high cell density cuture method under continuously feeding glucose. The recombinant lipase of 24 kDa was purified by His-trap affinity chromatography column at 300 mM immidazole concentration and
purified protein achieved about 0.4 g lipase per 1 liter growth culture.
