We studied the expression of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens transglutaminase cloned in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLysS harboring the plasmid pBAD/3C/bTGase, a bicistronic expression system, in bioreactor cultivation. Batch and fed-batch controlled as DO-stat strategies were employed for the production of the recombinant enzyme. In 30 h-batch cultivations using Terrific broth (TB), 6 g/L of biomass and 3.12 U/mgprotein of transglutaminase activity were obtained. DO-stat fed-batch cultivations under the control of oxygen concentration (DO-stat) using TB as medium but fed with glucose allowed the increment in biomass formation (17.5 g/L) and enzyme activity (6.43 U/mgprotein). DO-stat fed-batch using mineral medium (M9) and fed with glucose under the same conditions produced even higher enzymatic activity (9.14 U/mgprotein). The pH effect was investigated, and the best enzymatic activity could be observed at pH 8. In all cultivations, the bicistronic system remained stable, with 100% of plasmid-bearing cells. These results show that E. coli bearing bicistronic plasmid constructs to express recombinant TGase could be cultivated in bioreactors under DO-stat fed-batch using mineral medium and it is a promising strategy in future optimizations to produce this important enzyme.
