The activity of NAD kinase in strawberry decreased slowly during first four days, then increased gradually. The NADP phosphatase activity increased at the second day, decreased the next day,then increased again. In tomato fruit, the activities of NAD kinase and NADP phosphatase increased at the second day, decreased with the ripening and senescence of the fruit. The change trend of NAD kinase and respiration in the two fruits were similar, the same were NADP phosphatase and ethylene production. TFP enhanced the activity of NAD kinase and had little effect on NADP phosphatase. Low temperature(4℃) activated the NAD kinase and reduced the activity of NADP phosphatase. These results indicated that the NAD kinase and NADP phosphatase were related to the ripening and senescence of strawberry and tomato fruits. The activation of NAD kinase probably postponed the ripening and senescence of the fruits.展开更多

After successful transposition of an extra yfj B gene copy into genome, the selected recombinant named E. coli PHBTY4 showed stronger NAD kinase activity than that of E. coli PHB. Shake flask studies suggested that both cell dry weight and PHB accumulation were significantly increased in E. coli PHBTY4 compared with that of the control. E. coli PHBTY4 produced approximately 23 g/L PHB compared with its control which synthesized only 10 g/L PHB when grown under the same conditions in a 6 L fermentor after 32 h of cultivation. In addition, E. coli PHBTY4 maintained high genetic stability during the cultivation processes. These results revealed a practical method to construct genetically stable strains harboring extra NAD kinase gene to enhance NADP(H)-dependent bio-reactions.展开更多
