Our group has used the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125 ( Ph TAC125) as a platform for the successful recombinant production of "difficult" proteins, including eukaryotic proteins, at low temperatures. However, there is still room for improvement both in the refinement of Ph TAC125 expression plasmids and in the bacterium's intrinsic ability to accumulate and handle heterologous products. Here, we present an integrated approach of plasmid design and strain engineering finalized to increment the recombinant expression and optimize the inducer uptake in Ph TAC125. To this aim, we developed the IPTG-inducible plasmid pP79 and an engineered Ph TAC125 strain called KrPL LacY +  . This mutant was designed to express the E. coli lactose permease and to produce only a truncated version of the endogenous Lon protease through an integration-deletion strategy. In the wild-type strain, pP79 assured a significantly better production of two reporters in comparison to the most recent expression vector employed in Ph TAC125. Nevertheless, the use of KrPL LacY +  was crucial to achieving satisfying production levels using reasonable IPTG concentrations, even at 0 °C. Both the wild-type and the mutant recombinant strains are characterized by an average graded response upon IPTG induction and they will find different future applications depending on the desired levels of expression.
