Benefits of technology

This technology helps improve how well it works at higher temperatures than previous methods like enzyme production or fermentation processes for producing chemicals such as lysines due to its ability to modify certain parts of DNA during replication cycles. By doing this with specific genes found naturally within these organism's cells called alpha -amidases, researchers have been able to creating more efficient ways to use starchy materials instead of sugar.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discuss how different types of chemical substances called lycobactones act like precursors during the process of producing various biomass products including lactic acid, beta carboxymerizable protein monooxygenases, alpha hydroxysteroid reductois systems, cyclohexane dimers, etc., making them difficult to obtain commercially without expensive substrates. Additionally, current methodologies require multiple steps involving both purification and extraction processes leading to lower yields and increased costs associated with each step.

Embodiment 1

[0036] Example 1: Growth rate and L-leucine output of starting strain XQ at different temperatures

[0037] The starting strain XQ was inoculated in the fermentation medium, and cultured in shake flasks at 120r / min at 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C and 50°C for 72h, and samples were taken regularly to measure the OD at different culture temperatures 600 and L-leucine production. The results are as follows figure 2 shown.

Embodiment 2

[0038] Example 2: Adaptive evolution means gradually acclimating the temperature tolerance of the starting strain XQ

[0039] The acclimatization operation process and the change of specific growth rate under each cycle temperature are as follows: image 3 As shown, it specifically includes: first, inoculate the starting bacterial strain XQ in LBG liquid medium and culture it in a 120r / min shake flask at 30°C, and measure the specific growth rate μ=χ of the starting bacterial strain XQ at 30°C 0 . Next, take 1% of the culture solution of the starting strain XQ that was cultured in shake flasks at 30°C to the middle and late stages of logarithmic growth in a Erlenmeyer flask filled with fresh LBG liquid medium, and culture in shake flasks at 120r / min at 35°C , Determining the specific growth rate of strain XQ at 35°C μ = χ 1 . Subsequently, absorb 1% of the culture solution of the starting strain XQ that was cultivated at 35°C to the middle and late logarithmic growth stages...

Embodiment 3

[0040] Example 3: Screening of the best target bacterial strains at different temperatures

[0041] Take the screening of the best target strain at 35°C as an example.

[0042] When the strain has a specific growth rate μ≈χ at 35°C 0 At this time, an appropriate amount of bacterial solution in the mid-logarithmic growth phase was drawn and diluted, spread on the LBG solid culture plate and incubated at 35°C until a single colony grew. A single colony with a large colony on the LBG plate was randomly selected, inoculated in the glucose fermentation medium, and cultured in a shaker flask at 120 r / min at 35°C for 72 hours, and the production of L-leucine of different mutant strains was measured. Through screening, the mutant strain L35-39 with the highest L-leucine production at 35°C was finally obtained. Subsequently, using the mutant strain L35-39 as the starting strain, continue to screen the mutant strains L40-27 and L45-52 with high L-leucine production at 40°C and 45°C. T...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing L-leucine by efficiently utilizing starch, and belongs to the technical field of biocatalysis. According to the invention, temperature-induced adaptive evolution treatment is carried out on corynebacterium stain producing L-leucine, so that the tolerance of the strain against high temperature is improved. Then, on the basis of the mutant strain, heterologous expression is carried out on an alpha-amylase encoding gene derived from bacillus microorganisms (such as B. amyloliquefaciens), and a metabolic pathway capable of efficiently utilizing starchis constructed in the corynebacterium stain producing L-leucine, so that the defect that the optimal thallus growth temperature is inconsistent with the optimal action temperature of alpha-amylase isovercome, and the recombinant corynebacterium glutamicum capable of producing L-leucine by efficiently utilizing starch is obtained.
