Problems solved by technology

The chemical synthesis method uses the petroleum-based chemical benzene as a raw material to obtain racemic DL-malic acid under high temperature and high pressure conditions. As early as 1970, the US FDA banned the addition of DL-malic acid to infant foods. In addition, chemical synthesis The law has high requirements on the equipment and the depreciation of the equipment is fast, which limits its application in the field of food and medicine
In addition, the source of raw materials for this method is petroleum-based chemicals, which is also a great challenge to the ever-decreasing petroleum energy and environmental problems
The biocatalytic method is mainly immobilized enzyme or immobilized cell transformation method. Because of the high cost of extraction, separation, purification and immobilized enzyme, the immobilized enzyme method has certain limitations on the income; and the shortcomings of the immobilized cell transformation method The reason is that living cells themselves contain complex enzyme systems, which are prone to the formation of many by-products, resulting in an increase in the downstream purification and purification costs of the product
In summary, it is difficult for malic acid prepared by chemical synthesis and biocatalysis to meet the growing demand of the malic acid market.
[0004] Compared with the above two methods, the microbial fermentation method has been paid more and more attention due to its environmental friendliness and the availability of renewable carbon sources. Low, heteroacid by-products are many and high in content, which seriously limits the industrialization process of fermentation to produce L-malic acid
[0005] Through the search, no patent publications related to the patent application of the present invention have been found

Embodiment 1

[0075] Example 1: frd A gene and frd Construction of B gene knockout vector

[0076] This embodiment includes the following steps:

[0077] (1) frd Construction of A gene knockout vector

[0078] for amplification frdThe downstream sequence fragment of A gene, using the Aspergillus niger ATCC1015 genome as a template to design amplification primers frd A-F-F and frd A-F-R, recovered by PCR amplification frd A gene downstream sequence fragment, via Xba I and Speech After I double enzyme digestion and gel recovery, it was ligated with the vector pLH594 obtained by the same restriction endonuclease treatment with the help of the One-Step Clone Kit kit, and the ligated product was transformed into E. coli In JM109 competent cells, spread evenly in LB solid medium containing 100 µg / mL kanamycin resistance, culture upside down at 37°C overnight, pick a single clone and verify it by colony PCR and plasmid double enzyme digestion ( figure 2 ), get a successful ...

Embodiment 2

[0094] Embodiment 2: Aspergillus niger frd A and frd Obtaining of B gene knockout strain

[0095] This embodiment is realized through the following steps:

[0096] (1) frd Construction of A Gene Knockout Strain K1

[0097] The vector pLH1067 was transferred to Agrobacterium, and then the Agrobacterium was co-cultured with Aspergillus niger host strain S489 on IM medium for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. After 2.5 days of culture, the culture product was evenly spread on CM medium for cultivation Until the transformants grow out, the transformants are transferred to different media for screening, and their phenotypes on different media should be resistant to hygromycin and sensitive to glufosinate-ammonium. Genome verification of such transformants is carried out. The primers for verification were designed (Table 1), and the amplification results met the negative amplification of the left and right homology arms ( Figure 12 (P1 / P2), Figure 13 (P3 / P4)), the le...

Abstract

The invention discloses an Aspergillus niger engineering strain for reducing by-product succinic acid in the fermentation process of L-malic acid. Fumaric acid reductase frdA and fumaric acid reductase flavin protein subunit frdB are knocked out of the Aspergillus niger engineering strain at the same time. The invention provides the Aspergillus niger engineering strain with frdA and frdB genes knocked out and a method for greatly reducing a by-product succinic acid in the Aspergillus niger fermentation process. The by-product succinic acid accumulated in the process of producing malic acid through Aspergillus niger fermentation is obviously reduced, the cost in the downstream separation and purification process of malic acid is reduced, and an excellent strain is provided for industrial fermentation production of malic acid.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, in particular to a method, bacterial strain and application for reducing succinic acid, a by-product in the fermentation process of L-malic acid. Background technique [0002] As an important organic acid, L-malic acid is ubiquitous in plants, animals and microorganisms. It is an important intermediate metabolite of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in organisms and is widely used in food, medicine and chemical industries. In the food industry, malic acid is widely used as a food sour taste regulator and citric acid because of its natural flavor of apples. It can directly participate in the metabolism of the human body, and is often used to treat abnormal liver function and high blood ammonia. It is also commonly used in amino acid injection drugs to help the utilization of amino acids, etc.; in the chemical industry, it is often used in metal cleaning, printing and dyeing industries, and elect...
