Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an engineering strain for fermenting and synthesizing ergothioneine and a construction method thereof, belonging to the technical field of bioengineering. Background technique
[0002] Ergothioneine is a rare natural chiral histidine-derived thiol compound with unique biological functions and pharmacological activities. It not only has strong antioxidant activity: it can scavenge free radicals, peroxynitroso, hypochlorous acid, chelate divalent metal ions, activate antioxidant enzymes, inhibit superoxide dismutase, etc., but also It has anti-inflammatory and cell-protecting effects, and has broad application prospects and market prospects in the fields of medicine, food, health care products, cosmetics and biotechnology.
[0003] Ergothioneine was first isolated from ergot bacteria in 1909, and it can also be synthesized in microorganisms such as actinomycetes, cyanobacteria and fission yeast, some fungi, streptomyces, mycobac...
