Reaction Steps

The plasmid pTPG(−) and the control plasmid pTLH1 were introduced into the E. coli NZN 111 (pfl :cat, Idh :kan) strain, a strain incapable of producing formate and lactate in anaerobiosis. These two recombinant strains were then grown anaerobically for 48 hours in the LB medium+glucose+10 μg/ml of tetracycline without regulation of pH. The results presented in Table 5 show that E. coli can produce significant quantities of 1,3-propanediol from glucose after transformation by the plasmid pTPG.
