A non-therapeutic method of accumulating a polymeric or high molecular weight molecular product within a bacterial microcompartment in bacterial cytoplasm, which method employs a recombinant bacteria which is genetically engineered to express a microcompartment containing an enzyme capable of converting a low molecular weight substrate into a polymeric or high molecular weight product, the method comprising the steps of: incubating the recombinant bacteria with the low-molecular weight substrate, or a precursor of the low molecular weight substrate which is capable of being metabolised to the substrate within the recombinant bacteria, such that the substrate or precursor is taken up by the bacteria, wherein the substrate enters the microcompartment and the enzyme within the microcompartment converts the substrate to a polymeric or high molecular weight molecular product, and wherein the polymeric or high molecular weight molecular product is accumulated within the microcompartment due to its size.
一种在细菌细胞质的细菌微室中积累聚合物或高分子量分子产物的非治疗性方法,该方法采用一种重组细菌,该细菌经基因工程改造,表达一种含有能将低分子量底物转化为聚合物或高分子量产物的酶的微室,该方法包括以下步骤:将重组细菌与低分子量底物或能够在重组细菌内代谢为底物的低分子量底物的前体一起培养,使底物或前体被细菌吸收,其中底物进入微室,微室内的酶将底物转化为聚合物或高分子量分子产物,其中聚合物或高分子量分子产物因其大小而在微室内积累。
