Problems solved by technology

However, the production of second-generation biodiesel is still limited by the metabolic pathways of microorganisms, resulting in low product yields and many by-products.
[0004] The current methods of producing fuels using biological methods still need to be improved

Embodiment 1

[0137] The following plasmids were constructed for the introduction of foreign nucleic acid sequences in BL21(DE3) host cells. All cloned genes were under the control of an IPTG-inducible promoter (T7, tac or lac promoter).

[0138] In this example, the polyketide synthase gene sgcE (SEQ ID NO: 1) was introduced. The polyketide synthase gene sgcE expresses the protein polyketide synthase SgcE (SEQ ID NO: 5). The exogenous polyketide synthase interacts with the enol-ACP-reductase FabI (SEQ ID NO: 6) expressed from the enol-ACP-reductase gene fabI (SEQ ID NO: 2) to synthesize pentadecane.

[0139] According to the standard molecular biology method, the cloning of the gene and the construction of the vector, in short, include the following steps:

[0140] The sgcE gene was cloned on pET28a. Plasmid Plasmid pWK1 ( figure 1 ) is obtained by cloning the sgcE gene into the pET28a vector through BamH I and HindIII. The constructed plasmid pWK1 was transformed into Escherichia col...

Embodiment 2

[0141] Example 2, Production of Hydrocarbons as Biofuels

[0142] The Escherichia coli WK1 seed solution cultivated overnight at 37 degrees Celsius was diluted into 200 ml of LB medium at a volume ratio of 1:100; after culturing at 37 degrees Celsius for 3 hours, when the OD600 of Escherichia coli WK1 was 0.4-0.6, add IPTG (isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside) to a final concentration of 0.1mM; after adding IPTG for 15-20 hours of induction, extract the bacterial liquid with ethyl acetate, recover the organic phase and dry the solvent by rotary evaporation to 1-2ml. After the samples were filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, they were detected by GC-MS.

[0143] Experimental results: Biodiesel n-pentadecane C can be clearly detected in the sediment of Escherichia coli WK1 15 h 32 ( Image 6 ). It shows that alkane compounds can be obtained efficiently by introducing sgcE into Escherichia coli.

Embodiment 3

[0145] In this example, polyketide synthase gene sgcE (SEQ ID NO: 1) and thioesterase gene sgcE10 (SEQ ID NO: 3) were introduced. The proteins expressed by the polyketide synthase gene sgcE and the thioesterase gene sgcE10 are polyketide synthase SgcE (SEQ ID NO: 5) and thioesterase SgcE10 (SEQ ID NO: 7), respectively.

[0146] According to the standard molecular biology method, the cloning of the gene and the construction of the vector, in short, include the following steps:

[0147] The sgcE10 gene was cloned into pET28a. Plasmid pWK2 ( figure 2 ) is obtained by cloning the sgcE10 gene into the pET28a vector through Nde I and XhoI. The sgcE and sgcE10 genes were cloned in series on the pET28a vector. Digest the plasmid pWK2 with SpeI and Xho I, and recover the linear DNA fragment; digest the plasmid pWK1 with Xba I and Xho I, recover the sgcE gene fragment; connect the sgcE gene fragment and the pWK2 vector fragment, transform into Escherichia coli, and pass the card Na...

Abstract

Provided is a method for preparing a hydrocarbon compound. Microbes used for preparing the hydrocarbon compound comprise a first nucleotide sequence, and the sequence encodes a polyketide synthase gene sgcE or a functional equivalent thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for the preparation of hydrocarbon compounds. More specifically, the present invention relates to a microorganism, a system suitable for transforming microorganisms, a method for producing recombinant microorganisms, a method for producing hydrocarbons, a hydrocarbon, and a method for producing biofuels system. Background technique [0002] The first generation of biodiesel is mainly prepared from animal and vegetable fats and oils through transesterification process catalyzed by chemical method or enzyme method. The disadvantages of this production method are the shortage of production raw materials, the use of methanol, and the removal of glycerol by-products. At present, the main oil raw materials (such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc.) used in the industry to prepare biodiesel are also the necessities of human life, and a large ...
