Construction method of monascus genetically engineered microorganism having high-yield product Monacolin K and application of monascus genetically engineered microorganism

Abstract

The invention provides a construction method of monascus genetically engineered microorganism having high-yield product Monacolin K and application of the monascus genetically engineered microorganism. Monacolin K encoding gene, namely mok gene, is subjected to overexpression in monascus so that the monascus genetically engineered microorganism having high-yield product Monacolin K is obtained. The mok gene refers to one of mok C gene, mok D gene, mok E gene and mok I gene. Metabolic pathways of Monacolin K of monascus can be increased, and thus, the problem about low yield of secondary metabolite, namely Monacolin K of monascus can be solved fundamentally. Besides, the genetically engineered microorganism is capable of reducing content of citrinin and achieving the purposes of improving quality of monascus products and guaranteeing safety of the monascus products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial genetic engineering, and relates to a construction method and an application of Monacolin K high-yield Monascus genetically engineered bacteria. Background technique [0002] Monascus purpureus Went. (Monascus purpureus Went.), also known as red yeast rice, red rice, red rice, exists in trees, soil and accumulations. It is an important microbial resource in my country, which can produce a wide range of natural products with biological activity and has high commercial value. Monascus can grow in a wide temperature range, the general temperature is 15-42°C, the optimum temperature is 25-30°C, the optimum pH value for growth is 3.5-5, and it can tolerate ethanol with a concentration of up to 10%. It grows well on malt juice agar medium, and the colony is white at first, and becomes light pink, purple or gray-black when mature, and often turns red. [0003] The application of red yeast rice has a ...
