Episomal transgene expression results in higher enzyme activity when compared to chromosomal-based expression. (a) Vector map of the extra-chromosomal expression pEP_DX vector. (b) Luminescence signal detected from wild-type (WT), PONSusRDX, PDXSusRDX, PAGSusRDX, and PDXHTCSAG + PAGSusRDX strains containing the NanoLuc under the control of the episomal pEP_DX promotor, in the presence of GLC (black bars), DX (blue bars), AG (yellow bars) or the DX and AG mixture (green bars). (c) Comparison of luminescence from engineered regulatory strains when NanoLuc is encoded in a plasmid or in the chromosome. Error bars represent s.e.m. for three biological replicates. Asterisks represent levels of significance (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).
