Abstract
The influence of oxygen limitation on pDNA yields in cultures of Escherichia coli was studied. Cultures at maximum oxygen transfer rate (OTR_{max}) values of 10, 14, 30 and 45 mmol L^{−1} h^{−1} and an aerobic culture at an OTR_{max} f 110 mmol L^{−1} h^{−1} were performed in microtiter plates (MTPs). Dissolved oxygen tension (DOT), pH, biomass and NADH fluorescence were monitored online. An E. coli strain that constitutively expresses Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) was used and compared with its parent strain. pDNA yields were inversely proportional to the OTR_{max} for both strains and increased more than two-fold in cultures at the lowest OTR_{max} compared with that in aerobic cultures. Expression of VHb increased the specific growth rate at OTR_{max} values of 10, 14 and 30 mmol L^{−1} h^{−1} compared with that of the parent strain. NADH-specific fluorescence decreased in cultures of the engineered strain. The pDNA supercoiled fraction (SCF) was greatest in cultures at an OTRmax of 30 mmol L^{−1} h^{−1{, compared with that of the parent strain. NADH-specific fluorescence decreased in cultures of the engineered strain. The pDNA supercoiled fraction (SCF) was greatest in cultures at an OTRmax of 30 mmol L−1 h−1, r
