Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a microorganism and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a Bacillus subtilis and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of genetic engineering. Background Art

[0002] Bacillus subtilis belongs to the genus Bacillus. It has the advantages of fast growth, low nutritional requirements, efficient secretion of many proteins and metabolites, and no toxin production. It is a non-pathogenic and safe microorganism that is widely used in aquaculture, plant disease resistance, feed production, medicine and health, and other fields.

[0003] Surfactants are a class of natural surfactants, mainly synthesized by Bacillus, and widely found in nature. They are mainly composed of a cyclic heptapeptide and a β-hydroxy fatty acid chain, and have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, which can significantly reduce the surface and interfacial tension of liquids, allowing water and oil to be better mixed or emulsified. Compared with traditional chemical synthetic surfactants, biological surfactants have many advantages such as eco-friendliness and high safety, and are used in many fields. For example, in the environmental field, surfactants are used to clean up oil spills and organic pollutants in soil; in the medical and agricultural fields, they play their antibacterial, antiviral and anti-tumor effects. Surfactants have shown great application potential in the fields of industry, environment and medicine. However, since the current production of surfactants mainly relies on microbial fermentation, and the current production is limited, the promotion and application of surfactants is greatly restricted.

[0004] There are many methods to improve the ability of microorganisms to produce surfactin, including optimizing culture conditions, genetic modification, and production process optimization. Genetic modification methods include enhancing the expression of key enzymes, such as regulating the expression of enzymes related to surfactin production by genetic engineering. Patent application CN117187286A discloses a method for overexpressing SecA to improve the production of surfactin in Bacillus subtilis. By genetic engineering, the preprotein transposase secA gene of the surfactin product secretion pathway in the Bacillus subtilis genome is overexpressed to enhance the transmembrane efflux of surfactin, which can significantly increase the production of surfactin. The surfactin production of the genetically engineered bacteria obtained by this method can reach 9.9g / L, but the wild-type strain used is limited to the specific strain Bacillus subtilis ATCC 21332, and its original surfactin production can reach 6.83g / L. Patent application CN117946952A discloses a high-yield surfactin engineered bacterium and its construction method and application. By knocking out the CodY and PhoP genes, negative regulators of srfA synthase in the Bacillus subtilis genome through genetic engineering, and strengthening the expression of srfA synthase, the yield of surfactin can be significantly increased. However, after 48 hours of fermentation, the maximum yield of surfactin in the genetically engineered bacteria obtained by this method is only 4.25g / L. In summary, the Bacillus subtilis that can produce high surfactin is very limited, and the preparation conditions are harsh. Summary of the invention

[0043] Example 1: A high-yield surfactin-producing Bacillus subtilis

[0044] In this example, the preparation method of steps 1-5 is first used to construct a Bacillus subtilis with a biotin carboxylase IdeHA mutant, and then steps 6-8 are used to screen out a strain with high surfactin production.

[0045] Step 1. Prepare Bacillus subtilis competent cells

[0046] Spread wild-type Bacillus subtilis on LB solid medium and culture at 37°C overnight. Pick a single colony and inoculate it into 4 mL LB liquid medium, culture it at 37°C and 140 rpm for 6 h, wash the cells three times with sterile 10% glycerol solution, and finally resuspend the cells with 0.2 mL 10% glycerol and store them in a -80°C refrigerator for use.

[0047] Step 2. Preparation of Bacillus subtilis competent cells carrying plasmid pHT-XCR6

[0065] According to the above second step experimental steps, the pcrF19NM plasmid and homologous fragments were transformed into Bacillus subtilis competent cells carrying the plasmid pHT-XCR6, and spread on LB solid medium supplemented with 50ug / mL chloramphenicol, 50ug / mL kanamycin and 3% xylose, and cultured overnight at 30°C. The grown single colonies can be used for liquid culture and fermentation verification.

[0066] Step 6. Cultivation and fermentation of Bacillus subtilis to produce surfactin

[0067] Pick 48 single colonies of Bacillus subtilis from the plate and inoculate them into 10mL test tubes containing 3mL LB liquid medium, and culture them overnight at 37℃ and 200rpm in a shaker as the first-level seed liquid. Add 1mL of the first-level seed liquid to a 250mL conical flask containing 30mL LB liquid medium, and culture it at 37℃ and 200rpm in a shaker for 16h as the second-level seed liquid. Add 5mL of the second-level seed liquid to a 2L conical flask containing 1L fermentation medium, and culture it at 37℃ and 200rpm in a shaker for 48h. The ingredients of 1L fermentation medium are: 40g soluble starch, 7g sodium nitrate, 1g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1g yeast extract, 0.5g magnesium sulfate, 0.5g potassium chloride, 0.28g ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 1.7mg manganese sulfate, and 0.16mg copper sulfate pentahydrate.

[0068] Step 7. Surfactant content produced by Bacillus subtilis fermentation

[0141] This step is substantially the same as step 1 of Example 1, except that the wild-type Bacillus subtilis is replaced with the strain CY-4 screened out in Example 4 with the greatest increase in surfactin production.

[0142] Step 2. Preparation of Bacillus subtilis competent cells carrying plasmid pHT-XCR6

[0143] This step is the same as step 2 of Example 1.

[0144] Step 3. Construction of pcrF19NM plasmid

[0145] This step is basically the same as step 3 of Example 1, except that the crRNA sequence is changed to that shown in Table 11.

[0147] crRNA name Sequence (5'-3') IPdU-V163 GGTCTTGAAGTGGACGGTAAG IPdU-G287 AATATCGAAGGCATCGGCCTA

[0148] Step 4. Construction of homologous fragments

[0149] This step is basically the same as step 4 of Example 1, except that the sequence of the primers for constructing the homologous fragments is changed to that shown in Table 12.

[0150] Table 12 Primer sequences for constructing homologous fragments of dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase IPdU gene editing

[0151] Primer name Sequence (5'-3') IPdU-V163-F GGTCTTGAANNKGACGGTAAGTCTGTACTGACTTCAGATG IPdU-V163-R CTTACCGTCMNNTTCAAGACCCGGAAGCATTCTCGGTCTTG IPdU-G287-F AATATCGAANNKATCGGCCTAGAGAACACCGATATTG IPdU-G287-R TAGGCCGATMNNTTCGATATTTGCCTGTCTGCCGATG

[0152] Step 5. Transformation of pcrF19NM plasmid and homologous fragment

[0153] This step is substantially the same as step 5 of Example 1, except that the picking of 48 single colonies is changed to picking of 96 single colonies.

[0154] Step 6. Cultivation and fermentation of Bacillus subtilis to produce surfactin

[0155] This step is the same as step 6 of Example 1.

[0156] Step 7. Surfactant content produced by Bacillus subtilis fermentation

[0157] This step is the same as step 7 of Example 1. Among the 96 Bacillus subtilis strains selected in step 6, the strain with the most improved surfactin production was recorded as CY-5, and its surfactin production is shown in Table 13. Figure 6 The chromatograms of surfactin in the standard product and CY-5 fermentation broth are shown in FIG.

[0158] Step 8. Genome sequencing of dominant strains

[0159] This step is basically the same as step 8 of Example 1, except that the sequenced gene is the dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase IPdU gene of the CY-2 genome. The mutation of the dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase IPdU of CY-5 is that the 163rd amino acid valine is mutated to alanine, and the 287th amino acid glycine is mutated to serine. The sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 10. The position of the mutation site in the 3D structure of the protein is shown in Figure 5 shown.

[0160] The surfactin contents of wild-type Bacillus subtilis and CY-1, CY-2, CY-3, CY-4, and CY-5 strains are shown in Table 13. The surfactin production of these five strains of Bacillus subtilis was significantly increased compared with that of wild-type Bacillus subtilis, with the highest increase being 15.7 times.
