摘要:The aim of this study was to increase the Coenzyme $Q_{10}$ $(CoQ_{10})$ yield from Rhodobacter sphaeroides via genetic engineering pathway. $CoQ_{10}$ plays important roles in many biological processes and has been proven to be effective in the treatment of many diseases. In the present study, the ubiG gene located in $CoQ_{10}$ biosynthesis pathway was effectively overexpressed in Rb. Sphaeroides to increase $CoQ_{10}$ production. The growth of host cells was slightly influenced by overexpressing ubiG . The crude $CoQ_{10}$ production was enhanced by 58.31% compared to that from the control. The ubiG mRNA level was significantly increased compared to the wild type harboring empty vector as measured by qRT-PCR. Moreover, the crude $CoQ_{10}$ exhibited strong anti-oxidant activity as measured in vivo by zone of inhibition assay.
