Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the construction and application of a pili-free Escherichia coli capable of improving production efficiency, and belongs to the fields of genetic engineering and fermentation engineering. Background technique
[0002] Bacterial pili are large, long, and thin supramolecular protein appendages that arise on cells and are responsible for biofilm formation, chemotaxis, adhesion, and DNA transmembrane transfer. Pili are also an important component of bacterial biofilms and have multiple adverse effects on industrial activities such as increasing the risk of product spoilage or contamination, causing serious infections, forming dormant cells to increase antibiotic resistance, depleting energy and substrates of bacteria , Block the diffusion of nutrients, form biofouling, reduce heat transfer, increase corrosion, and shorten the service life of fermentation equipment.
[0003] Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are synthesized from a varie...
