In this study, a novel engineering Escherichia coli strain (CBMG111) with the expression of mgtCB gene was constructed for the enhanced fermentative production of succinic acid by utilizing the synergetic effect of mgtC gene to improve the growth of strains at the environment of low Mg2+ concentration and mgtB to enhance the transport of Mg2+ into cells. After the effect of the expression of the individual genes (mgtA, mgtB, mgtC) on the growth of E. coli was clarified, the fermentative production of succinic acid by CBMG111 was studied with the low-price mixture of Mg(OH)2 and NH3·H2O as the alkaline neutralizer and the biomass hydrolysates as the carbon sources, which demonstrated that the expression of mgtCB gene can significantly increase the productivity of succinic acid (2.97 g L?1 h?1) compared with that by using the engineering strain with the overexpression of mgtA gene. 相似文献

In E. coli, glyA encodes for serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), which converts L-serine to glycine. When engineering L-serine-producing strains, it is therefore favorable to inactivate glyA to prevent L-serine degradation. However, most glyA knockout strains exhibit slow cell growth because of the resulting lack of glycine and C1 units. To overcome this problem, we overexpressed the gcvTHP genes of the glycine cleavage system (GCV), to increase the C1 supply before glyA was knocked out. Subsequently, the kbl and tdh genes were overexpressed to provide additional glycine via the L-threonine degradation pathway, thus restoring normal cell growth independent of glycine addition. Finally, the plasmid pPK10 was introduced to overexpress pgk, serA Δ197 , serC and serB, and the resulting strain E4G2 (pPK10) accumulated 266.3 mg/L of L-serine in a semi-defined medium without adding glycine, which was 3.18-fold higher than the production achieved by the control strain E3 (pPK10). This strategy can accordingly be applied to disrupt the L-serine degradation pathway in industrial production strains without causing negative side-effects, ultimately making L-serine production more efficient. 相似文献

N-Acetyl-d-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is often synthesized from exogenous N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and excess pyruvate. We have previously constructed a recombinant Escherichia coli strain for Neu5Ac production using GlcNAc and intracellular phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) as substrates (Zhu et al. Biotechnol Lett 38:1–9, 2016).Results
PEP synthesis-related genes, pck and ppsA, were overexpressed within different modes to construct PEP-supply modules, and their effects on Neu5Ac production were investigated. All the PEP-supply modules enhanced Neu5Ac production. For the best module, pCDF-pck-ppsA increased Neu5Ac production to 8.6 ± 0.15 g l?1, compared with 3.6 ± 0.15 g l?1 of the original strain. Neu5Ac production was further increased to 15 ± 0.33 g l?1 in a 1 l fermenter.Conclusions
The PEP-supply module can improve the intracellular PEP supply and enhance Neu5Ac production, which benefited industrial Neu5Ac production.4.

Nucleotide and amino acid sequences of Corynebacterium glutamicum recA genes, from GenBank, were compared in silico. On the basis of the identity found between sequences, two degenerate primers were designed on the two sides of the deduced open reading frame (ORF) of the recA gene. PCR experiments, for amplifying the recA ORF region, were done. pGEM®-T Easy vector was selected to be used for cloning PCR products. Then recA ORF was placed under the control of Escherichia coli hybrid trc promoter, in pKK388-1 vector. pKK388-1 vector, containing recA ORF, was transformed to E. coli DH5α ΔrecA (recombinant deficient strain), in an attempt to phenotypically complement it. Ultraviolet (u.v.) exposure experiments of the transformed and non-transformed E. coli DH5α ΔrecA cells revealed tolerance of transformed cells up to dose 0.24 J/cm2, while non-transformed cells tolerated only up to dose 0.08 J/cm2. It is concluded that phenotypic complementation of E. coli DH5α ΔrecA with recA ORF of C. glutamicum, could be achieved and RecA activity could be restored. 相似文献

Escherichia coliL-asparaginase, an antileukaemic agent in man1, inhibits in vitro mitogen or antigen-induced blastogenesis in man2,3 and in animals (M. Bennett, E. G. Mayhew and T. Han, unpublished data) and suppresses bone-marrow derived antibody precursor cells in the mouse4. We now report that another L-asparaginase preparation—from Erwinia carotovora—also possesses antileukaemic activity5,6 and has a more pronounced immunosuppressive effect on in vitro blastogenesis than the E. coli enzyme. 相似文献

Objectives
To engineer the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the heterologous production of linalool.Results
Expression of linalool synthase gene from Lavandula angustifolia enabled heterologous production of linalool in S. cerevisiae. Downregulation of ERG9 gene, that encodes squalene synthase, by replacing its native promoter with the repressible MET3 promoter in the presence of methionine resulted in accumulation of 78 µg linalool l?1 in the culture medium. This was more than twice that produced by the control strain. The highest linalool titer was obtained by combined repression of ERG9 and overexpression of tHMG1. The yeast strain harboring both modifications produced 95 μg linalool l?1.Conclusions
Although overexpression of tHMG1 and downregulation of ERG9 enhanced linalool titers threefold in the engineered yeast strain, alleviating linalool toxicity is necessary for further improvement of linalool biosynthesis in yeast.7.
S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM), biosynthesized from methionine and ATP, exhibited diverse pharmaceutical applications. To enhance SAM accumulation in S. cerevisiae CGMCC 2842 (wild type), improvement of methionine and ATP availability through MET6 and SAM2 co-expression combined with sodium citrate feeding was investigated here. Feeding 6 g/L methionine at 12 h into medium was found to increase SAM accumulation by 38 % in wild type strain. Based on this result, MET6, encoding methionine synthase, was overexpressed, which caused a 59 % increase of SAM. To redirect intracellular methionine into SAM, MET6 and SAM2 (encoding methionine adenosyltransferase) were co-expressed to obtain the recombinant strain YGSPM in which the SAM accumulation was 2.34-fold of wild type strain. The data obtained showed that co-expression of MET6 and SAM2 improved intracellular methionine availability and redirected the methionine to SAM biosynthesis. To elevate intracellular ATP levels, 6 g/L sodium citrate, used as an auxiliary energy substrate, was fed into the batch fermentation medium, and an additional 19 % increase of SAM was observed after sodium citrate addition. Meanwhile, it was found that addition of sodium citrate improved the isocitrate dehydrogenase activity which was associated with the intracellular ATP levels. The results demonstrated that addition of sodium citrate improved intracellular ATP levels which promoted conversion of methionine into SAM. This study presented a feasible approach with considerable potential for developing highly SAM-productive strains based on improving methionine and ATP availability. 相似文献

Geraniol synthase (GES) catalyzes the conversion of geranyl diphosphate (GPP) into geraniol, an acyclic monoterpene alcohol that has been widely used in many industries. Here we report the functional characterization of CaGES from Camptotheca acuminata, a camptothecin-producing plant, and its application in production of geraniol in Escherichia coli. The full-length cDNA of CaGES was obtained from overlap extension PCR amplification. The intact and N-terminus-truncated CaGESs were overexpressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. Recombinant CaGES showed the conversion activity from GPP to geraniol. To produce geraniol in E. coli using tCaGES, the biosynthetic precursor GPP should be supplied and transferred to the catalytic pocket of tCaGES. Thus, ispA(S80F), a mutant of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase, was prepared to produce GPP via the head-to-tail condensation of isoprenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). A slight increase of geraniol production was observed in the fermentation broth of the recombinant E. coli harboring tCaGES and ispA(S80F). To enhance the supply of IPP and DMAPP, the encoding genes involved in the whole mevalonic acid biosynthetic pathway were introduced to the E. coli harboring tCaGES and the ispA(S80F) and a significant increase of geraniol yield was observed. The geraniol production was enhanced to 5.85 ± 0.46 mg L?1 when another copy of ispA(S80F) was introduced to the above recombinant strain. The following optimization of medium composition, fermentation time, and addition of metal ions led to the geraniol production of 48.5 ± 0.9 mg L?1. The present study will be helpful to uncover the biosynthetic enigma of camptothecin and tCaGES will be an alternative to selectively produce geraniol in E. coli with other metabolic engineering approaches. 相似文献

Background
Microbial lipid production represents a potential alternative feedstock for the biofuel and oleochemical industries. Since Escherichia coli exhibits many genetic, technical, and biotechnological advantages over native oleaginous bacteria, we aimed to construct a metabolically engineered E. coli strain capable of accumulating high levels of triacylglycerol (TAG) and evaluate its neutral lipid productivity during high cell density fed-batch fermentations.Results
The Streptomyces coelicolor TAG biosynthesis pathway, defined by the acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) Sco0958 and the phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) Lppβ, was successfully reconstructed in an E. coli diacylglycerol kinase (dgkA) mutant strain. TAG production in this genetic background was optimized by increasing the levels of the TAG precursors, diacylglycerol and long-chain acyl-CoAs. For this we carried out a series of stepwise optimizations of the chassis by 1) fine-tuning the expression of the heterologous SCO0958 and lpp β genes, 2) overexpression of the S. coelicolor acetyl-CoA carboxylase complex, and 3) mutation of fadE, the gene encoding for the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase that catalyzes the first step of the β-oxidation cycle in E. coli. The best producing strain, MPS13/pET28-0958-ACC/pBAD-LPPβ rendered a cellular content of 4.85% cell dry weight (CDW) TAG in batch cultivation. Process optimization of fed-batch fermentation in a 1-L stirred-tank bioreactor resulted in cultures with an OD600nm of 80 and a product titer of 722.1 mg TAG L-1 at the end of the process.Conclusions
This study represents the highest reported fed-batch productivity of TAG reached by a model non-oleaginous bacterium. The organism used as a platform was an E. coli BL21 derivative strain containing a deletion in the dgkA gene and containing the TAG biosynthesis genes from S. coelicolor. The genetic studies carried out with this strain indicate that diacylglycerol (DAG) availability appears to be one of the main limiting factors to achieve higher yields of the storage compound. Therefore, in order to develop a competitive process for neutral lipid production in E. coli, it is still necessary to better understand the native regulation of the carbon flow metabolism of this organism, and in particular, to improve the levels of DAG biosynthesis.10.

Escherichia coli FB-04(pta1), a recombinant l-tryptophan production strain, was constructed in our laboratory. However, the conversion rate (l-tryptophan yield per glucose) of this strain is somewhat low. In this study, additional genes have been deleted in an effort to increase the conversion rate of E. coli FB-04(pta1). Initially, the pykF gene, which encodes pyruvate kinase I (PYKI), was inactivated to increase the accumulation of phosphoenolpyruvate, a key l-tryptophan precursor. The resulting strain, E. coli FB-04(pta1)ΔpykF, showed a slightly higher l-tryptophan yield and a higher conversion rate in fermentation processes. To further improve the conversion rate, the phosphoenolpyruvate:glucose phosphotransferase system (PTS) was disrupted by deleting the ptsH gene, which encodes the phosphocarrier protein (HPr). The levels of biomass, l-tryptophan yield, and conversion rate of this strain, E. coli FB-04(pta1)ΔpykF/ptsH, were especially low during fed-batch fermentation process, even though it achieved a significant increase in conversion rate during shake-flask fermentation. To resolve this issue, four HPr mutations (N12S, N12A, S46A, and S46N) were introduced into the genomic background of E. coli FB-04(pta1)ΔpykF/ptsH, respectively. Among them, the strain harboring the N12S mutation (E. coli FB-04(pta1)ΔpykF-ptsHN12S) showed a prominently increased conversion rate of 0.178 g g?1 during fed-batch fermentation; an increase of 38.0% compared with parent strain E. coli FB-04(pta1). Thus, mutation of the genomic of ptsH gene provided an alternative method to weaken the PTS and improve the efficiency of carbon source utilization. 相似文献

Objective
To heterologously produce the Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 O-polysaccharide (O-PS, O-antigen) in Escherichia coli by transferring the minimum number of genes instead of the entire O-PS gene cluster.Results
The three glycosyltransferase genes (rfbR, rfbQ and rfp) responsible for the formation of the O-repeat unit were introduced into E. coli K-12 W3110 to synthesize S. dysenteriae 1 O-PS. The specific O-antigen ladder type with different chain lengths of O-repeat units was observed in the recombinant E. coli strain by SDS-PAGE silver staining and western blotting using S. dysenteriae 1 lipopolysaccharide antiserum. Analysis by mass spectrometry and ion chromatography suggested generation of the specific S. dysenteriae 1 O-repeat unit structure with an extra glucose residue attached.Conclusions
Recombinant E. coli expressing specific glycosyltransferase genes can generate the O-PS of S. dysenteriae 1 and might be able to synthesize heterologous O-antigens of various pathogenic bacteria for vaccine preparation.13.

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium commonly associated with foodborne diseases. Due its ability to survive under adverse environmental conditions and to form biofilm, this bacterium is a major concern for the food industry, since it can compromise sanitation procedures and increase the risk of post-processing contamination. Little is known about the interaction between L. monocytogenes and Gram-negative bacteria on biofilm formation. Thus, in order to evaluate this interaction, Escherichia coli and L. monocytogenes were tested for their ability to form biofilms together or in monoculture. We also aimed to evaluate the ability of L. monocytogenes 1/2a and its isogenic mutant strain (ΔprfA ΔsigB) to form biofilm in the presence of E. coli. We assessed the importance of the virulence regulators, PrfA and σB, in this process since they are involved in many aspects of L. monocytogenes pathogenicity. Biofilm formation was assessed using stainless steel AISI 304 #4 slides immersed into brain heart infusion broth, reconstituted powder milk and E. coli preconditioned medium at 25 °C. Our results indicated that a higher amount of biofilm was formed by the wild type strain of L. monocytogenes than by its isogenic mutant, indicating that prfA and sigB are important for biofilm development, especially maturation under our experimental conditions. The presence of E. coli or its metabolites in preconditioned medium did not influence biofilm formation by L. monocytogenes. Our results confirm the possibility of concomitant biofilm formation by L. monocytogenes and E. coli, two bacteria of major significance in the food industry. 相似文献

Bacterial strains were isolated from cassava-derived food products and, for the first time, from cassava by-products, with a focus on gari, a flour-like product, and the effluents from the production processes for gari and fufu (a dough also made from cassava flour). A total of 47 strains were isolated, all of which were tested to determine their resistance to acidic pH and to bile salt environments. Four of the 47 isolates tested positive in both environments, and these four isolates also showed antibacterial behaviour towards both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial pathogens (i.e. Methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli (O157), Yersinia enterocolitica). In most cases, the antibacterial activity was related to bacteriocin production. Molecular identification analysis (16S rDNA and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR) revealed that the four isolates were different strains of the same species, Lactobacillus fermentum. These results demonstrate that bacteria isolated from cassava-derived food items and cassava by-products have interesting properties and could potentially be used as probiotics. 相似文献

Objective
To identify new enzymatic bottlenecks of l-tyrosine pathway for further improving the production of l-tyrosine and its derivatives.Result
When ARO4 and ARO7 were deregulated by their feedback resistant derivatives in the host strains, the ARO2 and TYR1 genes, coding for chorismate synthase and prephenate dehydrogenase were further identified as new important rate-limiting steps. The yield of p-coumaric acid in the feedback-resistant strain overexpressing ARO2 or TYR1, was significantly increased from 6.4 to 16.2 and 15.3 mg l?1, respectively. Subsequently, we improved the strain by combinatorial engineering of pathway genes increasing the yield of p-coumaric acid by 12.5-fold (from 1.7 to 21.3 mg l?1) compared with the wild-type strain. Batch cultivations revealed that p-coumaric acid production was correlated with cell growth, and the formation of by-product acetate of the best producer NK-M6 increased to 31.1 mM whereas only 19.1 mM acetate was accumulated by the wild-type strain.Conclusion
Combinatorial metabolic engineering provides a new strategy for further improvement of l-tyrosine or other metabolic biosynthesis pathways in S. cerevisiae.16.
A third generation promoter probe shuttle vector pKG was constructed, using the green fluorescent protein as a reporter, for in situ evaluation of Deinococcal promoter activity in Escherichia coli or Deinococcus radiodurans. The construct yielded zero background fluorescence in both the organisms, in the absence of promoter sequences. Fifteen Deinococcal promoters, either harbouring Radiation and Desiccation Response Motif (RDRM) or not, were cloned in vector pKG. Only the RDRM-promoter constructs displayed (i) gamma radiation inducible GFP expression in D. radiodurans, following gamma irradiation, (ii) DdrO-mediated repression of GFP expression in heterologous E. coli, or (iii) abolition in GFP induction following gamma irradiation, in pprI mutant of D. radiodurans. Utility of pKG vector for real-time in situ assessment of Deinococcal promoter function was, thus, successfully demonstrated. 相似文献

The gene encoding the xlnR xylanolytic activator of the heterologous fungus Aspergillus niger was incorporated into the Penicillium canescens genome. Integration of the xlnR gene resulted in the increase in a number of activities, i.e. endoxylanase, β-xylosidase, α-L-arabinofuranosidase, α-galactosidase, and feruloyl esterase, compared to the host P. canescens PCA 10 strain, while β-galactosidase, β-glucosidase, endoglucanase, and CMCase activities remained constant. Two different expression constructs were developed. The first consisted of the nucleotide sequence containing the mature P. canescens phytase gene under control of the axhA promoter region gene encoding A. niger (1,4)-β-D-arabinoxylan-arabinofuranohydrolase. The second construct combined the P. canescens phytase gene and the bgaS promoter region encoding homologous β-galactosidase. Both expression cassettes were transformed into P. canescens host strain containing xlnR. Phytase synthesis was observed only for strains with the bgaS promoter on arabinose-containing culture media. In conclusion, the bgaS and axhA promoters were regulated by different inducers and activators in the P. canescens strain containing a structural tandem of the axhA promoter and the gene of the xlnR xylanolytic activator. 相似文献

We have previously reported in vivo biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates containing 2-hydroxyacid monomers such as lactate and 2-hydroxybutyrate in recombinant Escherichia coli strains by the expression of evolved Clostridium propionicum propionyl-CoA transferase (PctCp) and Pseudomonas sp. MBEL 6-19 polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase 1 (PhaC1 Ps6-19). Here, we report the biosynthesis of poly(2-hydroxybutyrate-co-lactate)[P(2HB-co-LA)] by direct fermentation of metabolically engineered E. coli strain. Among E. coli strains WL3110, XL1-Blue, and BL21(DE3), recombinant E. coli XL1-Blue strain expressing PhaC1437 and Pct540 produced P(76.4mol%2HB-co-23.6mol%LA) to the highest content of 88 wt% when it was cultured in a chemically defined medium containing 20 g/L of glucose and 2 g/L of sodium 2-hydroxybutyrate. When recombinant E. coli XL1-Blue strain expressing PhaC1437 and Pct540 was cultured in a chemically defined medium containing 20 g/L of glucose and varying concentration of sodium 2-hydroxybutyrate, 2HB monomer fraction in P(2HB-co-LA) increased proportional to the concentration of sodium 2-hydroxybutyrate added to the culture medium. P(2HB-co-LA)] could also be produced from glucose as a sole carbon source without sodium 2-hydroxybutyrate into the culture medium. Recombinant E. coli XL1-Blue strain expressing the phaC1437, pct540, cimA3.7, and leuBCD genes together with the L. lactis Il1403 panE gene, successfully produced P(23.5mol%2HB-co-76.5mol%LA)] to the polymer content of 19.4 wt% when it cultured in a chemically defined medium containing 20 g/L of glucose. The metabolic engineering strategy reported here should be useful for the production of novel copolymer P(2HB-co-LA)]. 相似文献

A yellow pigmented bacterium designated strain MBLN094T within the family Flavobacteriaceae was isolated from a halophyte Salicornia europaea on the coast of the Yellow Sea. This strain was a Gram-stain negative, aerobic, non-spore forming, rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MBLN094T was found to be related to the genus Zunongwangia, exhibiting 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.0, 96.8, 96.4, and 96.3% to Zunongwangia mangrovi P2E16T, Z. profunda SM-A87T, Z. atlantica 22II14-10F7T, and Z. endophytica CPA58T, respectively. Strain MBLN094T grew at 20?37°C (optimum, 25?30°C), at pH 6.0?10.0 (optimum, 7.0?8.0), and with 0.5?15.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0?5.0%). Menaquinone MK-6 was the sole respiratory quinone. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, and four unidentified lipids. Major fatty acids were iso-C17:0 3-OH, summed feature 3 (C16:1ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c), and iso-C15:0. The genomic DNA G + C content was 37.4 mol%. Based on these polyphasic taxonomic data, strain MBLN094T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Zunongwangia, for which the name Zunongwangia flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MBLN094T (= KCTC 62279T = JCM 32262T). 相似文献
