[0106] First, the Bacillus subtilis The chromosomal DNA prepared by Marburg No.168 strain (Bacillus subtilis strain 168) was used as a template, and the primer pair of P_spoVG FW2 (SEQ ID NO: 24) and P_spoVG / CmR (SEQ ID NO: 25) shown in Table 1 was used to prepare the upstream side 0.9 kb DNA fragment (spoVG-UP) for use in spoVG The chloramphenicol resistance gene ( cm r ). Similarly, using the primer pair of P_spoVG / Cm F and (SEQ ID NO: 26) P_spoVG RV (SEQ ID NO: 27) shown in Table 1, a DNA fragment (spoVG-DW) of 0.6 kb on the downstream side was prepared (primers for P_spoVG RV at this time is designed to be spoVG The start codon gtg of the gene ORF was changed to atg). In addition, using plasmid pC194 as a template, a 0.9 kb DNA fragment (comp_Cm) of the chloramphenicol resistanc...

Abstract

A recombinant microorganism having a poly-gamma-glutamic acid-producing ability, in which among a gene cluster associated with poly-gamma-glutamic acid synthesis, pgsB gene of Bacillus subtilis or a gene corresponding to the gene and pgsC gene of Bacillus subtilis or a gene corresponding to the gene have been introduced into a host microorganism, and pgsA gene of Bacillus subtilis or a gene corresponding to the gene has not been introduced into the host microorganism; and a method for producing poly-gamma-glutamic acid using the recombinant microorganism.

Description

[0001] technology area [0002] The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism capable of producing poly-γ-glutamic acid, and a method for producing poly-γ-glutamic acid using the recombinant microorganism. Background technique [0003] Poly-γ-glutamic acid is a polymer compound in which the γ-position carboxyl group and the α-position amino group of glutamic acid are linked by peptide bonds. Poly-gamma-glutamic acid is also sometimes referred to as gamma-polyglutamic acid. Poly-γ-glutamic acid as Bacillus natto ( Bacillus subtilis var. natto ) is known, and in recent years, it has attracted attention as a new type of polymer material due to its various properties. In the description below, poly-γ-glutamic acid is abbreviated as PGA. [0004] As microorganisms producing PGA, some bacillus ( Bacillus ) of the genus Bacteria and its close relatives ( Bacillus subtilis var. chungkookjang , Bacillus ichéniformis , Bacillus megaterium , Bacillus ...
