Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a tkt gene mutant and application thereof in the preparation of L-lysine. Background Art

[0002] L-lysine has physiological benefits such as promoting growth, enhancing immunity, and improving central nervous system function. It is one of the eight essential amino acids that humans and animals cannot synthesize on their own and are essential for growth. Currently, L-lysine is the second most common amino acid in the world. The main production method is fermentation, with Corynebacterium glutamicum being a key lysine-producing strain. Approximately 90% of industrial L-lysine production is used as a nutritional supplement in the feed industry, 10% as a flavor enhancer and sweetener in the food industry, and as a pharmaceutical intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry.

[0003] Improvements to the fermentation process for producing L-lysine may relate to fermentation technology such as stirring and supplying oxygen; or to the composition of the nutrient medium, such as the sugar concentration during the fermentation process; or to processing the fermentation broth into a suitable product form, such as by drying and granulating the fermentation broth or ion exchange chromatography; or may relate to the inherent performance properties of the relevant microorganisms themselves.

[0004] Methods for improving the performance properties of these microorganisms include mutagenesis, selection of mutants and screening.

[0093] Example 1: Construction of ATCC13032 strain containing tkt gene mutant

[0094] 1. Construction of tkt gene mutant plasmid

[0095] First, the wild-type tkt gene (sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1) and its promoter were cloned into the expression vector pXMJ19. Using the NCBI-published genome sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as a template, PCR amplification with primers tkt-F / tkt-R yielded the wild-type tkt promoter and a 2689-bp coding region (sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 15). After the fragment was recovered, it was ligated with the expression vector pXMJ19 (TaKaRa, containing chloramphenicol resistance) recovered by digestion with Xbal I and BamHI using NEBuilder enzyme (NEB) at 50°C for 30 minutes. The ligation product was transformed into DH5α competent cells, spread on 2-YT agar plates containing chloramphenicol (34 mg / L), and cultured at 37°C for 12 hours. The single clones grown in the culture were identified by PCR using primers tkt-F / tkt-R. PCR amplified a 2689 bp fragment, which was the positive transformant pXMJ19-tkt containing the tkt promoter and coding region sequence.

[0096] To obtain mutants encoding the tkt gene, a tkt mutant plasmid was prepared using a random mutagenesis kit (Agilent Technologies, USA). Using the constructed plasmid pXMJ19-tkt as a template and primers tkt-F / tkt-R, PCR amplification was performed to obtain a fragment of the tkt gene coding region and promoter region containing random point mutations (sequence as SEQ ID No. 15, but with random point mutations in the tkt coding region).

[0097] The recovered DNA fragment was ligated with the expression vector pXMJ19 (TaKaRa, containing chloramphenicol resistance) recovered by digestion with Xbal I and Bam HI using NEBuilder enzyme (NEB) at 50°C for 30 minutes. The ligation product was transformed into DH5α and plated onto 2-YT agar plates containing 34 mg / L chloramphenicol and incubated at 37°C for 12 hours. Single colonies that emerged from the culture were identified by PCR using primers tkt-F / tkt-R. Positive transformants containing pXMJ19-tkt-MT and containing the random mutation in the tkt gene were identified by PCR.

[0098] Among them, positions 35-437 of SEQ ID No. 15 represent the tkt gene promoter.

[0099] The primers were designed as follows (synthesized by Shanghai Invitrogen):

[0100] tkt-F:5'- CAGAATAATTAAGCTTTGCATGCCTGCAGGTCGAC TTCACAGCGGACGATTTC-3' (the underlined nucleotide sequence is the pXMJ19 homologous sequence),

[0101] tkt-R:5'- CCAAAACAGCCAAGCTGAATTCGAGCTCGGTACC AGGCAAGTAAGGGATGTGC-3' (the underlined nucleotide sequence is the pXMJ19 homologous sequence).

[0102] 2. Construction of strains containing mutant tkt gene plasmids

[0103] In order to identify the production performance of the mutant vector pXMJ19-tkt-MT constructed in step one in L-amino acids, specifically, the different tkt random mutant plasmids constructed in step one were transformed into the wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 strain by electroporation (for specific transformation methods, see WO2014121669A1), and PCR identification was performed using primers tkt-F / tkt-R. PCR amplified a positive transformant of 2689 bp. The positive transformant was cultured three times on a chloramphenicol (34 mg / L) culture plate (see Table 1 for culture medium components and culture conditions) and inoculated into a 500 mL triangular flask containing 30 mL of rich culture medium and shaken at 30°C for 48 h. After the fermentation culture was completed, the concentration of L-amino acids was detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). As shown in Table 2, a strain with superior L-amino acid production capacity compared to the wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 control was selected, namely the ATCC13032-pXMJ19-tkt mutant.

[0104] Rich medium: the solvent is water, the solutes and their concentrations are glucose 30 g / L, (NH4)2SO4 2 g / L, H3PO4 0.5 g / L, KCl 0.8 g / L, MgSO4·7H2O 0.8 g / L, FeSO4·7H2O 0.05 g / L, MnSO4·H2O 0.05 g / L, FM902 yeast powder 1.5 g / L, corn steep liquor 5 g / L, molasses 17 g / L, betaine 0.5 g / L, citric acid 2 g / L, VH 20 mg / L, VB1 1.5 mg / L, VB3 1.5 mg / L VB 12 1.5g / L, sodium hydroxide to adjust pH to 7.0.

[0110] As shown in Table 2, the mutant strains of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032-pXMJ19-tkt have the ability to produce some L-lysine, among which ATCC13032-pXMJ19-tkt mutant 3 has a better ability to produce L-lysine, indicating that tkt gene mutant 3 has the activity of synthesizing L-lysine.

[0111] Plasmids were extracted from ATCC13032-pXMJ19-tkt mutant strain 3, and the tkt gene was sequenced. The results showed that the 979th guanine (G) in the nucleotide sequence of the tkt gene coding region was mutated to adenine (A) (the sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 3, and the gene containing this mutation is designated as tkt A327T gene), the 327th alanine (A) in the corresponding amino acid sequence was mutated to threonine (T) (the sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 4, and the protein containing this mutation is denoted as tkt A327T protein), and the plasmid was designated as pXMJ19-tkt A327T The mutant strain containing this plasmid was renamed ATCC13032-pXMJ19-tkt A327T .

[0114] The mutant strain ATCC13032-pXMJ19-tkt was obtained by random mutation of wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032. A327T In order to obtain more tkt mutants to improve their L-lysine production capacity, mutants with the same mutation position as the above tkt but different amino acids were constructed. Specifically, the plasmid pXMJ19-tkt sequenced in step 2 was used. A327T Using tkt as a template, five mutants were constructed in which the amino acid at position 327 of tkt was substituted with different amino acids. The substituted amino acids were all hydrophilic amino acids. The substituted amino acids of the mutants and the names of the primers used in each mutant are shown in Table 3.

A 1405-bp Up DNA fragment containing the tkt mutation was obtained. PCR amplification was performed using primers S-PR-2 / tkt-R and KAPA HiFi HotStart, resulting in a 1248-bp Down DNA fragment containing the tkt mutation. After the PCR reaction, the DNA fragments were recovered by agarose gel electrophoresis using a column-based DNA gel recovery kit. The recovered DNA fragments were ligated with the expression vector pXMJ19, which had been digested with Xbal I and Bam HI, using NEBuilder enzyme (NEB) at 50°C for 30 min. The ligation product was transformed into DH5α and plated onto 2-YT agar plates containing chloramphenicol (34 mg / L) and incubated at 37°C for 12 h. The single clone grown in culture was identified by PCR using primers tkt-F / tkt-R.

[0134] 4. Detection of L-lysine Production Ability of tkt Mutant Strain

[0135] In order to identify the L-lysine production performance of the mutant vector constructed in step 3, specifically, the five recombinant bacteria constructed in step 3 and the ATCC13032-pXMJ19-tkt A327T After three consecutive passages on chloramphenicol (34 mg / L) culture plates, the cells were inoculated into 500 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 30 mL of rich culture medium and shake-fermented at 37°C for 48 h. After the fermentation, the concentration of L-lysine was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 was used as a control.

[0139] Example 2: Construction of a recombinant vector containing a point mutation in the tkt gene coding region

[0140] Based on the genome sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 published by NCBI, two pairs of primers for amplifying the tkt gene coding region were designed and synthesized. A point mutation was introduced into the tkt gene coding region (SEQ ID No. 1) of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 (deposit number: CGMCC No. 12856, deposit date: August 16, 2016, deposited at: Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 3, Yard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, Tel: 010-64807355) by allelic replacement. The point mutation was to mutate guanine (G) at position 979 in the nucleotide sequence of the tkt gene (SEQ ID No. 1) to adenine (A), thereby obtaining a DNA molecule shown in SEQ ID No. 3 (the mutated tkt gene, named tkt). A327T Gene).

[0141] The DNA molecule shown in SEQ ID No. 1 encodes the protein with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 2. The DNA molecule shown in SEQ ID No. 3 (tkt A327T Gene) encodes a mutant protein with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 4 (the mutant protein is named tkt A327T protein). Mutant protein tkt A327T The threonine (T) at position 327 in the amino acid sequence (SEQ ID No. 4) was mutated from alanine (A).

[0142] The recombinant vector was constructed using NEBuilder assembly. The primers were designed as follows (synthesized by Shanghai Invitrogen). The bases in bold indicate the mutation positions:

[0143] P1:5'- CAGTGCCAAGCTTGCATGCCTGCAGGTCGACTCTAG CGTCATTGCTTCTGATGG-3' (the underlined nucleotide sequence is the sequence on pK18),

[0146] P4:5'- CAGCTATGACCATGATTACGAATTCGAGCTCGGTACCC CGGAGAAGATGAGGAAGGTTC-3′ (the underlined nucleotide sequence is the sequence on pK18).

[0147] Construction method: Using Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as a template, PCR amplification was performed with primers P1 and P2, and P3 and P4, respectively, to obtain two DNA fragments (tktUp and tktDown) of the tkt gene coding region with mutant bases, each with a size of 514 bp and 482 bp.

[0148] The two DNA fragments (tktUp and tktDown) were separated and purified by agarose gel electrophoresis, and then ligated with the pK18mobsacB plasmid (Addgene) purified after enzyme digestion (Xbal I / Bam HI) using NEBuilder enzyme (NEB) at 50°C for 30 min. The single clones grown after the ligation product transformation were identified by PCR using primers P1 / P4. The one that could amplify a 964 bp fragment was a positive recombinant vector pK18-tkt A327T The recombinant vector contains a kanamycin resistance marker. A327T The recombinant vector pK18-tkt containing the correct point mutation (G979A) was sent to a sequencing company for sequencing identification. A327T Save for later use.

[0149] This recombinant vector pK18-tkt A327T Contains a mutation site (G979A), which will cause the 979th guanine (G) in the coding region of the tkt gene (SEQ ID No. 1) in the strain Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 to mutate to adenine (A), and ultimately cause the 327th alanine (A) of the encoded protein to become threonine (T).

[0150] The recombinant vector pK18-tkt A327T The recombinant vector pK18-tkt is obtained by replacing the fragment (small fragment) between the Xbal I and / BamH I recognition sites of the pK18mobsacB vector with the DNA fragment shown in SEQ ID No. 6 in the sequence list, while keeping the other sequences of the pK18mobsacB vector unchanged. A327T Contains the mutant gene tkt shown in SEQ ID No.3 A327T mutation site (G979A).

[0151] Example 3: Construction of a tkt gene A327T Engineered strains

[0152] The allelic replacement plasmid (pK18-tkt A327T) were transformed by electroporation into Corynebacterium glutamicum strain YP097158 (sequencing confirmed that this strain retained the wild-type tkt gene coding region on its chromosome) and wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC13032, and cultured on solid culture plates containing kanamycin (50 mg / L) for 40 hours. Single colonies resulting from the culture were identified using primers P1 / P4 described in Example 2, respectively; strains that amplified a 964 bp band were identified as positive. Positive strains were streaked on a medium containing 15% sucrose (the medium was obtained by increasing the sucrose concentration in the medium in Table 1 to 150 g / L). Single colonies produced by the culture were cultured on a medium containing kanamycin and a medium not containing kanamycin, respectively. Strains that grew on the medium not containing kanamycin but did not grow on the medium containing kanamycin were selected for further PCR amplification using primers P1 / P4. The resulting multiple DNA fragments (964 bp) were sequenced. By sequence alignment, strains with a base sequence mutation (G979A) were identified as positive strains with successful allelic substitution. The positive strains obtained from Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 and wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC13032 were designated YPL-tkt-1 and tkt-1, respectively.

[0153] The recombinant bacteria YPL-tkt-1 and tkt-1 both contain the mutated gene tkt shown in SEQ ID No.3. A327T , and can express tkt shown in SEQ ID No.4 A327T The difference between the recombinant strain YPL-tkt-1 and Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 is that the tkt gene of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 is replaced by tkt A327T The strain obtained by removing the gene and keeping other sequences unchanged; the difference between the recombinant bacterium tkt-1 and the wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 is that the tkt gene of the wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 is replaced by tkt A327T The strain containing the mutant tkt A327T The recombinant bacteria of the gene can significantly and stably improve the tkt A327T Gene expression level.

[0154] Example 4: Construction of a genome overexpressing tkt gene or tkt A327T Genetically engineered strains

[0155] Based on the genome sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 published by NCBI, three pairs of upstream and downstream homology arm fragments and tkt or tkt were designed and synthesized. A327TThe primers of the gene coding region and promoter region were used to insert tkt or tkt into Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 and wild type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 by homologous recombination. A327T Gene copies.

[0156] The primers were designed as follows (synthesized by Shanghai Invitrogen):

[0162] P10:5' CAGCTATGACCATGATTACGAATTCGAGCTCGGTACCC GCTATGACACCTTCAACGGATC3′ (the underlined nucleotide sequence is the sequence on pK18).

[0163] Construction method: Using the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as a template, PCR amplification was performed using primers P5 / P6, P7 / P8, and P9 / P10, respectively, to obtain a 763-bp upstream homology arm fragment (corresponding to the partial coding region of the NCgl1740 gene and the NCgl1741 gene and its promoter region of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032), a 2621-bp fragment of the tkt gene and its promoter (sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 16), and a 596-bp downstream homology arm fragment (corresponding to the partial coding region of the NCgl1742 gene of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032). After completion of the PCR reaction, the three fragments amplified from each template were recovered by electrophoresis using a column-based DNA gel recovery kit. The three recovered fragments were ligated with the pK18mobsacB plasmid (Addgene) purified after digestion with Xbal I and BamH I using NEBuilder enzyme (NEB) at 50°C for 30 minutes. The resulting clones were identified by PCR using primers M13F / M13R to obtain a positive integration plasmid (recombinant vector). The resulting recombinant vector, pK18-tktOE, contains a kanamycin resistance marker, allowing for kanamycin screening to obtain recombinants with the plasmid integrated into the genome. In SEQ ID No. 16, positions 1-403 represent the promoter of the tkt gene, and positions 404-2506 represent the tkt gene.

[0164] M13F: 5′-TGTAAAACGACGGCCAGT-3′,

[0165] M13R: 5′-CAGGAAACAGCTATGACC-3′.

[0166] Using Corynebacterium glutamicum YPL-tkt-1 as template, PCR amplification was performed with primers P5 / P6, P7 / P8, and P9 / P10, respectively, to obtain a 763 bp upstream homology arm fragment (corresponding to the partial coding region of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 NCgl1740 and the NCgl1741 gene and its promoter region), tkt A327TThe gene and its promoter fragment of 2621bp (sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 17) and the downstream homology arm fragment of 596bp (corresponding to the partial coding region of the NCgl1742 gene of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032). After the PCR reaction was completed, the three fragments obtained by each template amplification were electrophoretically recovered using a column DNA gel recovery kit. The three recovered fragments were connected with the pK18mobsacB plasmid (Addgene) purified after digestion with Xbal I and BamH I using NEBuilder enzyme (NEB) at 50°C for 30 minutes. The single clone grown after the ligation product was transformed and identified by PCR using primers M13F / M13R to obtain a positive integration plasmid (recombinant vector). The resulting recombinant vector is pK18-tkt A327T OE, the positive integration plasmid contains a kanamycin resistance marker, and recombinants with the plasmid integrated into the genome can be obtained by kanamycin screening. In SEQ ID No. 17, positions 1-403 are tkt A327T The promoter of the gene, positions 404-2506 are tkt A327T Gene.

[0167] The correctly sequenced integration plasmids (pK18-tktOE, pK18-tkt A327T OE) were electroporated into Corynebacterium glutamicum strain YP097158 and wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032, respectively, and cultured in culture medium for 30 hours. Single colonies produced by the culture were identified by PCR using primers P11 / P12. Strains that amplified a fragment of 1559 bp by PCR were identified as positive strains, while those that did not amplify the fragment were identified as original strains. Positive strains were streaked and cultured on solid culture plates containing 15% sucrose for 30 hours. Single colonies produced by the culture were further identified by PCR using primers P13 / P14. Strains that amplified a fragment of 1559 bp by PCR were identified as tkt or tkt A327T Positive strains were generated in which the gene and its promoter were integrated into the spacer region of the upper homology arm NCgl1741 and the lower homology arm NCgl1742 of the Corynebacterium glutamicum genome. The strains obtained using Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 as the starting strain were named YPL-tkt-2 (without the mutation point) and YPL-tkt-3 (with the mutation point), respectively; the strains obtained using Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as the starting strain were named tkt-2 (without the mutation point) and tkt-3 (with the mutation point), respectively.

[0168] The recombinant strain YPL-tkt-2 contains two copies of the tkt gene shown in SEQ ID No. 1. Specifically, the recombinant strain YPL-tkt-2 is obtained by replacing the spacer region between the upper homology arm NCgl1741 and the lower homology arm NCgl1742 in the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 with the DNA fragment shown in SEQ ID No. 16 (positions 1-403 of SEQ ID No. 16 represent the promoter, and positions 404-2506 represent the tkt gene), while maintaining the other nucleotides in the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 unchanged. Recombinant strains containing two copies of the tkt gene can significantly and stably increase the expression level of the tkt gene.

[0169] The recombinant bacterium tkt-2 contains two copies of the tkt gene set forth in SEQ ID No. 1.

[0177] Example 5: Construction of plasmids for overexpression of tkt gene or tkt A327T Genetically engineered strains

[0178] The pXMJ19-tkt and pXMJ19-tkt successfully constructed in Example 1 were A327T The plasmids were electrotransformed into Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 and wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032, respectively, and cultured in a culture medium (see Table 1 for culture medium ingredients) for 30 h. The single colonies produced by the culture were identified by PCR using primers tkt-F / tkt-R, and the PCR amplified fragment containing a size of 2689 bp (sequence shown in SEQ ID No.15) was a positive strain. The strains obtained using Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 as the starting bacteria were named YPL-tkt-4 (containing plasmid pXMJ19-tkt) and YPL-tkt-5 (containing plasmid pXMJ19-tkt). A327T ); The strains obtained using Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as the starting bacteria were named tkt-4 (containing plasmid pXMJ19-tkt) and tkt-5 (containing plasmid pXMJ19-tkt A327T ).

[0179] The recombinant bacteria YPL-tkt-4 and tkt-4 contain a plasmid of the tkt gene shown in SEQ ID No. 1, and can significantly and stably increase the expression level of the tkt gene.

[0180] The recombinant strain YPL-tkt-5 and tkt-5 contain the mutant tkt shown in SEQ ID No.3 A327T The plasmid of the gene can significantly and stably increase the expression level of the tkt gene.

[0181] Example 6: Construction of an engineered strain with a tkt gene deleted from its genome

[0182] Based on the genome sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 published by NCBI, two pairs of primers were synthesized to amplify the fragments at both ends of the tkt gene coding region as upstream and downstream homology arm fragments. The primers were designed as follows (synthesized by Shanghai Invitrogen):

[0183] P15:5' CAGTGCCAAGCTTGCATGCCTGCAGGTCGACTCTAG GGAAATAGATGGGTGTAGACG 3' (the underlined nucleotide sequence is the sequence on pK18),

[0184] P16:5'GCAAGGAACGGAAACAACGCCTCAGGTCATCCATCTC3',

[0185] P17:5'GAGATGGATGACCTGAAGGCGTTGTTTCCGTTCCTTGC3',

[0186] P18:5' CAGCTATGACCATGATTACGAATTCGAGCTCGGTACCC ATCAACCTTTGCCCACAG 3' (the underlined nucleotide sequence is the sequence on pK18).

[0187] Construction method: Using the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as a template, PCR amplification was performed with primers P15 / P16 and P17 / P18, respectively, to obtain a 772-bp upstream homology arm fragment and an 824-bp downstream homology arm fragment for knocking out tkt. The amplified products were subjected to electrophoresis and purified using a column-based DNA gel recovery kit. The recovered DNA fragments were ligated with the pK18mobsacB plasmid (Addgene) purified after digestion with Xbal I / BamH I using NEBuilder enzyme (NEB) at 50°C for 30 minutes. The resulting clones were identified by PCR using primers M13F / M13R to obtain the positive knockout vector pK18-Δtkt. This plasmid contains kanamycin resistance as a selection marker and was sequenced.

[0188] The knockout plasmid pK18-Δtkt, which had been sequenced correctly, was electroporated into Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 and wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 and cultured in a culture medium for 30 hours. The resulting single colonies were identified by PCR using primers P15 / P18: strains that simultaneously amplified bands of 1596 bp and 3106 bp were considered positive strains, while strains that only amplified the 3106 bp band were considered the original strain. Positive strains were screened on a 15% sucrose solid medium and then cultured for 30 hours on a medium containing kanamycin and one without. Strains that grew on the medium without kanamycin but did not grow on the medium containing kanamycin were further identified by PCR using primers P15 / P18. Strains that amplified a band of 1596 bp were positive strains in which the coding region of the tkt gene had been partially deleted. The tkt fragment of the positive strain was amplified by PCR with P15 / P18 primers and sequenced again. The correctly sequenced strains were named YPL-tkt-6 (the tkt gene on the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 was knocked out) and tkt-6 (the tkt gene on the genome of wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 was knocked out).

[0189] Example 7, L-lysine fermentation experiment

[0190] The strains constructed in Examples 2-6, the original strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158, and the wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 were fermented in a BLBIO-5GC-4-H fermentor (Shanghai Bailun Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) using the culture medium shown in Table 5 and the control process shown in Table 6. After the fermentation, the L-lysine production was detected by the ninhydrin colorimetric method. Each strain was repeated three times, and the results are shown in Table 7.

[0196] Table 7. L-lysine production and significance analysis of tkt engineered strains

[0197]

[0198] The results are shown in Table 7. The tkt gene coding region was subjected to point mutation (G979A) and tkt or tkt was overexpressed in Corynebacterium glutamicum. A327T genes, all contribute to the improvement of L-lysine production; while weakening or knocking out the tkt gene is not conducive to the accumulation of L-lysine.
