- Abstract
- Using the cosmid pWE15, a genomic library of Citrobacter freundii DNA in Escherichia coli ECL707 was prepared and screened for glycerol utilization. Six out of approximately 3000 clones were positive. One clone, harboring the recombinant cosmid pRD1, expressed glycerol dehydratase in high activity when grown at 28 degrees C but not at 37 degrees C. The growth temperature had little effect on the activity of the other enzymes encoded by the dha regulon. When the glycerol-containing medium was supplemented with corrinoids, the recombinant E. coli strain produced 1,3-propanediol in high amounts at 28 degrees C.
