Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, the production method of PHA (SCL-co-MCL PHA) of short-chain and medium-chain copolymerization has the following disadvantages: 1. The proportion of functional groups of functional derivatives is relatively low
Limited by the ability of the expression system and the enzymatic activity of PHA polymerase, the proportion of functional groups in the functional PHA currently produced is still low
2. The ratio of side chain monomers is difficult to control
Due to the existence or incomplete weakening of the β-oxidation cycle, after the medium and long-chain carbon source enters the cell, two carbon atoms will be lost in each round of the β-oxidation cycle, and multiple PHA units including C6, C8, C10, and C12 will be obtained. Therefore, it is difficult to control the monomer ratio of the short and medium chain PHA produced, and it is difficult to obtain stable material properties
3. Lack of suitable chassis strains
At present, the production of short-medium chain PHA and its functional derivatives is mainly based on traditional industrial production bacteria, such as Pseudomonas, recombinant Escherichia coli, etc., which are not suitable for modern times due to the problems of easy-to-contaminate bacteria, discontinuous growth, and the need to consume a large amount of fresh water. Biotechnology development needs

Abstract

The invention discloses a construction method of a recombinant bacterium for producing short-and-medium-chain-length PHA and functional derivatives thereof. The method comprises the following steps of: introducing a coding gene of specific PHA polymerase, a coding gene of a key protein of a PHA synthesis pathway, a promoter or a mutated promoter, related genes capable of enhancing carbon source utilization capacity of medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids, the ribosome binding site RCJ and the ribosome binding site RD into a starting strain from which an endogenous PHA polymerase gene is knocked out; and adjusting the proportions of all monomers in the short-and-medium-chain-length PHA and the functional derivatives thereof in the recombinant bacteria so as to realize controllable production of the short-and-medium-chain-length PHA and the functional derivatives thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and materials, in particular to a method for producing short-medium chain polyhydroxyalkanoate PHA and its functional derivatives. Background technique [0002] Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a kind of biological linear polymer polyester, which is commonly found in microbial cells with unbalanced growth conditions, and it is widely used as a storage material for energy and carbon sources. Due to its good biodegradability, biocompatibility and many excellent properties, PHA is considered to be one of the most potential biomaterials to solve global plastic pollution. At present, a variety of PHAs have been successfully synthesized and put into industrial production, including poly 3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), poly 3-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), poly 3-hydroxybutyrate -3-Hydroxyhexanoate (PHBHHx), poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-4-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB4HB). Traditional PHA is relatively biologically ine...
