Embodiment 1

[0042] Example 1. Knockout of genes to obtain succinic acid producing strains

[0043] The genes sdhAB, iclR, arcA, ldhA, sfcA, maeB, sucABCD, poxB, adhE, fumC, fadR were knocked out by red recombination technology. The specific operation is as follows:

[0044] For the knockout of the gene sdhAB, first use the sequence of primer 1 (F-sdhAB) of SEQ ID NO: 1 and the sequence of primer 2 (R-sdhAB) of SEQ ID NO: 2, and use pKD4 as a template PCR clone of about 1700bp DNA fragments. The plasmid pKD46 was introduced into the host bacteria through calcium transformation, and recombinants were screened with ampicillin. The recombinant bacteria introduced with pKD46 were cultured at 30°C to OD 600 At about 0.3, L-arabinose was added for induction for 1 hour, and then 10% glycerol was used to prepare electroporation competence. Electroporation was performed using bacterial mode 1 (1.8KV, 5ms). Transformants were selected for homologous recombination using kanamycin. Then use sequ...

Embodiment 2

[0049] Example 2. Overexpression of glyoxylate cycle key enzyme genes gltA, aceA and acnB.

[0050] The citrate synthase gene gltA derived from Escherichia coli was overexpressed using the plasmid pTrc99a. First use the sequence of primer 35 (pTrc99a-gltA-F (BamH1)) of SEQ ID NO: 29 and the sequence of primer 36 (pTrc99a-gltA-R-Hind3) of SEQ ID NO: 30, with Escherichia coli MG1655 as template PCR Clone the gltA gene with restriction sites. Then use BamHI and HindIII to double-enzyme digest pTrc99a and the target fragment recovered by PCR. After recovering the digested product, use T4 ligase to ligate at 16°C. Calcium is then converted into the strain of interest. Use ampicillin resistance to select successfully constructed recombinant bacteria. Protein electrophoresis to determine whether the protein is expressed. Extract the plasmid from the strain with correct expression, send it for sequencing, and record it as pTrc99a-gltA.

[0051] Plasmid pTrc99a was also used for o...

Embodiment 3

[0063] Embodiment 3. produce succinic acid strain compound medium shake flask fermentation

[0064] Using Escherichia coli MG1655 as the starting strain, the gene sdhAB was knocked out, the TCA cycle was blocked, and the succinic acid-producing basic strain MG01 was obtained.

[0065] On the basis of the single deletion strain MG01, the genes iclR, fadR, arcA and fumC were knocked out respectively to obtain strains MG02, MG022, MG023 and MG024. After comparison, it was found that MG02 had the best effect, so MG02 was used as the starting strain next.

[0066] On the basis of the double-deletion strain MG02, the effects of blocking the supply pathway and activating the TCA cycle on the fermentation of succinic acid were verified, so the genes arcA, maeB, and sfcA were knocked out to obtain strains MG03, MG032, and MG033. The fermentation results showed that MG032 had the best effect, so the follow-up transformation was carried out based on MG032.

[0067] In order to understa...

Abstract

Disclosed are the construction method and application of metabolically engineered E. coli strains for producing succinic acid by using acetic acid, wherein succinic acid is produced from the metabolically engineered modified E. coli by fermentation using acetic acid as a raw material, and the transformation pathway is blocking the TCA cycle, and / or blocking the succinic acid utilization pathway, and / or enhancing the acetic acid uptake and oxaloacetate supply, strengthening the glyoxylate cycle, and / or deleting the by-product formation pathway, and / or reducing the ineffective circulation caused by the producing acetic acid from pyruvic acid through decarboxylation, and / or dredging the acetyl CoA node metabolic flux. Through analysis of the metabolic pathways and regulation thereof, E. coli strains are modified by using genetic engineering pathways, and the obtained strains are able to produce succinic acid in a culture medium using acetic acid as the carbon source, with no by-product produced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and more specifically relates to constructing a recombinant Escherichia coli strain using acetic acid to produce succinic acid, and using the metabolic engineering Escherichia coli to ferment and synthesize succinic acid by using acetic acid as a main raw material. Background technique [0002] Succinic acid, also known as succinic acid, is a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid widely used in agriculture, food and pharmaceutical industries. Succinic acid is a precursor of many important industrial chemicals, including adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, N-methylpyrrolidone, 2-pyrrolidone, succinate and γ-butyrolactone. It can also be used to synthesize biodegradable polymer polybutylene succinate (PBS) and polyamide polymer ( x,4). At present, commercial succinic acid has been produced by chemical synthesis of liquefied petroleum gas or mineral oil, and converted to biological ferme...
