Insect cells were exploited to produce bacterial beta-galactosidase by infecting them with a recombinant nuclear polyhedrosis virus (baculovirus) of Autographa californica. The insect cells were cultured in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and led to a second CSTR where they were infected with a recombinant virus in which the lacZ gene from Escherichia coli was inserted. In the effluent of the production reactor, maximum activities of 15 units beta-galactosidase per 10(6) cells were measured. For about 25 d beta-galactosidase production remained constant, but then rapidly declined. This drop was due to a decrease in production of active beta-galactosidase rather than to inactivation of this enzyme. It was concluded that the reduced production was due to reduced polyhedrin promoter-driven synthesis.

D016367 Baculoviridae Family of INSECT VIRUSES which contain polyhedron-shaped or ovocylindrical occlusion bodies. The genera include ALPHABACULOVIRUS; GAMMABACULOVIRUS; and DELTABACULOVIRUS (commonly known as NUCLEOPOLYHEDROVIRUSES) and BETABACULOVIRUS (commonly known as GRANULOVIRUSES). Baculovirus vectors are used for expression of foreign genes in insects and as BIOPESTICIDES for controlling insect populations. Baculovirus,Baculoviruses
