Abstract
A mutant termed Aeromonas hydrophila AKLF was constructed by deleting acetic acid pathway related genes pta and ackA in A. hydrophila 4AK4. Accumulation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) in A. hydrophila AKLF was increased by 47% from 2.11 to 3.10 g/L associated with a reduction on acetic acid formation compared with A. hydrophila 4AK4 when lauric acid was used as carbon resource. A. hydrophila AKLF harboring pVGAB encoding Vitreoscilla hemoglobin, β-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase was found to produce 85% more PHBHHx compared to its wild type. Expression of plasmid pDEcLPp harboring genes related to fatty acid metabolism in A. hydrophila AKLF led to 63% more PHBHHx production than A. hydrophila 4AK4. Replacing phaC in A. hydrophila AKLF with a mutant phaC2 from Pseudomonas stutzeri 1317 resulted in enhanced production of copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate and medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoates compared to A. hydrophila 4AK4 harboring the mutant phaC2 in the chromosome as control.
