Abstract
Light quality can regulate both psbA genes and vector promoter psbA of the engineered Synechococcus. Through light regulation, we tried to improve yield of the recombinant protein for vp28 gene-expressed Synechococcus sp. PCC7002. To drive photon-capturing efficiently, three limiting factors (irradiance, temperature and pH) were optimized by measuring net photosynthesis. High cell density cultures were performed with variant ratios of white, red and blue light in a 5-L photo-bioreactor. Yields of biomass, expressions of vp28 and transcription levels of psbA were compared. High ratio blue light-induced vp28 transcription had tripled and the relative accumulation of VP28 protein was doubled. The relative expressions of psbAII and psbAIII had positive correlations with higher ratio of blue light, not the red light. With high ratio red light inducing, dry biomass reached 1.5 g/L in three days. Therefore, we speculated that red light accelerated biomass accumulation of the transgenic strain and blue light promoted transcription for PpsbA and psbA. These results provided useful information for mass production of cyanobacteria and its secondary metabolites.
