“…This conclusion was supported by the observation that A3/5 displaced JeRS 325 in glucose-limited chemostat cultures with either (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 (D ‫ס‬ 0.19 h −1 ) or NaNO 3 (D ‫ס‬ 0.13 h −1 ) as the nitrogen source. Reductions in specific growth rate for plasmid-bearing cells compared to plasmid-free cells have been observed for a variety of recombinant bacteria, particularly those expressing foreign proteins (Glick, 1995;Kaprálek and Jecmen, 1992), although reduced growth rates for fungal transformants have not previously been reported. Indeed, Withers et al (1998) found that a transformant of A. niger carrying 20 extra copies of the homologous glaA gene had no growth rate disadvantage compared to the untransformed parental strain, even under inducing conditions.…”

“…Cloned genes must be maintained stably for productive fermentations (Kapralek and Jecmen, 1992). Plasmids are common expression vectors that may lose the cloned gene due to segregational instability (loss of the whole plasmid from the bacterium) or structural instability (mutations such as deletions, insertions, and rearrangements of the plasmid DNA) (Ensley, 1985).…”

“…The number of stable generations of growth until 90% of the cell population possessed plasmids (gengo% point) was determined by counting the hours of exponential growth during the batch growth phase at the beginning of the continuous fermentation (tfermentor bakh phase), as well as the hours of continuous feed to the reactor (&hemostat 90% plasmid-bearing): study while evaluating the effect of growth rate on plasmid stability. In addition, since the extra metabolic burden from cloned-gene expression has a significant effect on plasmid structural stability (Kapralek and Jecmen, 1992), the extent of cloned-gene expression was investigated while evaluating the hoklsok system.…”

“…La estrategia de utilizar promotores fuertes y constitutivos, o por periodos prolongados desacoplados del crecimiento casi siempre resulta debilitante y, a veces letal -para el hospedador [166][167]. Los altos niveles de expresión podrían ser alcanzables a través del uso de promotores fuertes, pero regulables [153] [165] [168][169].…”
