Popis: |
The probiotic bacterium Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) holds significant promise for use in clinical and biological industries. However, the reliance on antibiotics to maintain plasmid-borne genes has overshadowed its benefits. In this study, we addressed this issue by engineering the endogenous cryptic plasmids pMUT1 and pMUT2. The non-essential elements were removed to create more stable derivatives pMUT1NR△ and pMUT2HBC△. Synthetic promoters by integrating binding motifs on sigma factors were further constructed and applied for expression of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron heparinase III and the biosynthesis of ectoine. Compared to traditional antibiotic-dependent expression systems, our newly constructed antibiotic-free expression systems offer considerable advantages for clinical and synthetic biology applications. |
