Escherichia coli DH10B is used for cloning and strain DH1 is used for expression, developing and optimizing of a simple cloning system for expression of the amorphadiene biosynthetic pathway. The pathway genes are originally constructed by assembly of the operons onto three different plasmids, each with a different copy number and Escherichia coli promoter. Escherichia coli DH1 harboring pAM45MevT and pADS exhibits a significant increase in amorphadiene production (21 mg/l at 75 h), which is 3fold higher than the original base-strain DH1 pMevTpMBISpADS. To increase ADS expression, transforming of DH1pAM92 with pADS is done, resulting in a combined ADS gene dosage of 30-45 copies/cell. The strain exhibits an increase in amorphadiene production over DH1pAM92, but still does not approach the peak titers obtained with DH1pAM45pADS | Artemisia annua |
