Restriction enzymes are great products for recombinant microbes (E. coli)

• $350 million in annual RE sales in 2007• Some microbes are difficult or expensive to grow in

culture• Strategy: clone the gene for the RE from a given

microbe and express it in E. coli (along with the corresponding modification [methylase] gene for protection of the E. coli DNA)

• E. coli is simple to grow

Small molecules are also great products for recombinant microbes (often E. coli)

• Indigo (Fig. 13.10)

• Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)• Amino acids (e.g., Glutamic acid or Glu for production of the flavor

enhancer MSG)• Antibiotics, novel antibiotics and polyketide antibiotics• Note that in all of these cases, one needs to clone the genes encoding the

enzymes making these metabolites in order to create or alter a biochemical pathway

Biopolymers are also great products for recombinant microbes

• Xanthan gum production in Xanthomonas compestris (genetically engineered to grow on whey, a lactose-rich byproduct of cheese production)

• Melanins• Animal adhesive proteins (from the blue mussel)• Rubber (from the rubber plant Hevea brasiliensis)• Biodegradable plastics (polyhydroxyalkanoates)• Note that in all of these cases, one needs to clone the genes

encoding enzymes in order to create or alter a biochemical pathway

The enzymes responsible for the production of this biodegradable plastic were cloned from Alcaligenes eutrophus and transferred to E. coli to make even more of this biodegradable plastic.

Summary

• I do not expect you to memorize all of the genetic engineering details provided in the numerous examples presented in this chapter; however, I do want you to be familiar with the various strategies that are employed in these examples.

• Specifically, note the common strategy that a gene for an enzyme is transferred into a microbe which alters the metabolic products of that microbe (i.e., metabolic engineering).
