Cultivation of Escherichia coli harbouring heterologous genes of oligosaccharide synthesis is presented as a new method for preparing large quantities of high-value oligosaccharides. To test the feasibility of this method, we successfully produced in high yield (up to 2.5 g/L) penta-N-acetyl-chitopentaose (1) and its deacetylated derivative tetra-N-acetyl-chitopentaose (2) by cultivating at high density cells of E. coli expressing nodC or nodBC genes (nodC and nodB encode for chitooligosaccharide synthase and chitooligosaccharide N-deacetylase, respectively). These two products were easily purified by charcoal adsorption and ion-exchange chromatography. One important application of compound 2 could be its utilisation as a precursor for the preparation of synthetic nodulation factors by chemical acylation.
