An industrial clavulanic acid (CA) overproducer Streptomyces clavuligerus strain, namely DEPA, was engineered to further enhance its CA production. Single or multiple copies of ccaR, claR (pathway-specific activators), and cas2 (CA synthase) genes under the control of different promoters were introduced into this strain. CA titers of the resulting recombinants were analyzed by HPLC in a dynamic fashion and compared to the vector-only controls and a wild-type strain of S. clavuligerus while their growth was monitored throughout fermentation. The addition of an extra copy of ccaR, under control of its own promoter or constitutive ermE(star) promoter (P-ermE star), led to 7.6- and 2.3-fold increased volumetric levels of CA in respective recombinants, namely the AK9 and ID3 strains. Its highly stable multicopy expression by the glpF promoter (P-glpF) provided up to 25.9-fold enhanced volumetric CA titers in the respective recombinant, IDG3. claR expression controlled with its own promoter or ermE(star) and glpF-mediated amplification in an industrial strain brought about only about 1.2-fold increase in the volumetric CA titers. An extra copy of cas2 integration with P-ermE star into the S. clavuligerus DEPA genome led to 3.8-fold higher volumetric CA production by GV61. Conclusively, multicopy expression of ccaR under P-glpF can result in significantly improved industrial high-titer CA producers.

Comparative Transcriptome Analyses of a Standard Strain and Clavulanic Acid Overproducing Industrial Strain of S. clavuligerus
Çelik, Gözde; Özcengiz, Gülay; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Department of Biotechnology (2021-9)
Streptomyces clavuligerus is the producer of the medically important β-lactam antibiotics, including cephamycin C (CC) and potent β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid (CA). In this study, comparative transcriptome analysis between an industrial stain, namely DEPA (CA overproducer strain which was developed by several rounds of classical random mutagenesis), and a reference strain NRLL3585 was performed by using the genome-wide RNA-seq technique. Our aim was to understand and improve the knowledge about the...
Proteome-wide alterations in an industrial clavulanic acid producing strain of Streptomyces clavuligerus
Unsaldi, Eser; Kurt-Kizildogan, Aslihan; Voigt, Birgit; Becher, Doerte; Özcengiz, Gülay (2017-03-01)
The usefulness of genetic/metabolic engineering for further improvement of industrial strains is subject of discussion because of the general lack of knowledge on genetic alterations introduced by iterative cycles of random mutagenesis in such strains. An industrial clavulanic acid (CA)-overproducer Streptomyces clavuligerus DEPA was assessed to understand proteome-wide changes that have occurred in a local industrial CA overproducer developed through succesive mutagenesis programs. The proteins that could ...
Genetic engineering of glycolytic pathway by disrupting glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene in an industrial strain of streptomyces clavuligerus
Sertdemir, İbrahim; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2013)
Streptomyces clavuligerus is a gram-positive, filamentous bacterium which produces several important secondary metabolites, including isopenicillin N, cephamycin C and the β-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanic acid (CA). CA is being used in combination with commonly used β-lactam antibiotics in order to fight against bacterial infections that are resistant to such antibiotics. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) which is an intermediate product of glycolytic pathway is also used in CA biosynthesis as a crucial sub...
Reactive extraction of pyruvic acid from aqueous single and mixed acid solutions
Martı, Mustafa Esen; Gürkan, Türker; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
Interest in recovery of carboxylic acids from their aqueous solutions and production media has been growing with the improvements in the production techniques. Reactive extraction is proposed as a promising method to achieve high distribution coefficients with good selectivity. In the present study, equilibrium and kinetic studies, needed for the design of a recovery unit were carried out. Reactive extraction of pyruvic, acetic and lactic acids from their single and mixed acid solutions were carried out wit...
Genetic polymorphisms of alcohol inducible CYP2E1 in Turkish population
Ulusoy, Gülen; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Biochemistry (2004)
Cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1), the ethanol-inducible isoform of cytochrome P450 superfamily, catalyzes many low molecular weight endogenous and exogenous compounds, including ethanol, acetone, drugs like acetaminophen and chlorzoxazone, and industrial solvents like benzene and styrene, most of which are carcinogenic. Besides, it has a high capacity to produce reactive oxygen species. CYP2E1 is induced by ethanol and isoniazid, as well by some pathophysiological conditions like diabetes and starvation. CYP2E1 ...
