Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gene recombination fermentation, and specifically relates to a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum capable of producing high 1,3-propanediol, and a construction method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] 1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) is an important organic chemical raw material. It can be used as an organic solvent in inks, printing and dyeing, coatings, lubricants, antifreeze agents and other process fields. It can also be used in the synthesis of various drugs, new polyester PTT, pharmaceutical intermediates, cosmetics and new antioxidants. It is a raw material for the production of unsaturated polyesters, plasticizers, surfactants, emulsifiers and demulsifiers, and has broad market prospects.

[0003] The preparation methods of 1,3-propylene glycol mainly include chemical synthesis and microbial fermentation. Since the chemical synthesis method has many by-products, poor selectivity, and high temperature and high pressure reaction conditions when preparing 1,3-PDO, it will lead to high production costs and cause environmental pollution. Therefore, the efficient and clean microbial fermentation method has gradually replaced the chemical synthesis method to produce 1,3-PDO.

[0004] At present, the main metabolic pathway for the production of 1,3-PDO by biological fermentation is that glycerol is dehydrated to produce 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde, which is reduced to form 1,3-propanediol. The corresponding technical routes are divided into two types: 1. Using natural microorganisms (such as Klebsiella pneumoniae) to produce 1,3-PDO with glycerol as raw material; 2. Using recombinant microorganisms (such as Escherichia coli) to express exogenous pathways, first glucose is produced through the glycolysis pathway to produce DHAP and then reduced to produce glycerol, which is then dehydrated and reduced to produce 1,3-PDO. Compared with the first technical route, the second technical route has a relatively simple product, high yield, and high biosafety. However, glycerol dehydratase requires vitamin B12 as a cofactor for activation. Recombinant microorganisms often do not have the ability to synthesize VB12, and need to be added exogenously during the fermentation process, which greatly increases the production cost. It is necessary to provide a low-cost and high-yield microbial fermentation method for actual 1,3-propanediol production. Summary of the invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum that produces high 1,3-propylene glycol, having the following characteristics: Figure 6 The synthetic pathway of the recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum can overexpress the following genes:

[0006] 1) Deaminase gene AAD, which converts homoserine into 4-hydroxy-2-oxobutyrate;

[0007] 2) decarboxylase gene KDC, which converts 4-hydroxy-2-oxobutyric acid into 3-hydroxypropanal;

[0008] 3) Aldehyde reductase gene yqhD, which converts 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde into 1,3-PDO;

[0009] The nucleotide sequence of the deaminase gene AAD is shown in SEQ ID NO.1;

[0012] Furthermore, the expression levels of enzyme genes related to the homoserine synthesis pathway in the recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum are enhanced;

[0013] The homoserine synthesis pathway-related enzyme genes include aspartate aminotransferase gene aspB, aspartate kinase gene lysC, aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase gene asd and homoserine dehydrogenase gene thrA;

[0016] The index number of the aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase gene asd in the KEGG database is cg0307;

[0017] The index number of the homoserine dehydrogenase gene thrA in the KEGG database is cg1337;

[0018] The expression enhancement is achieved by inserting a strong promoter Psod such as the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.4 before the gene or gene cluster.

[0156] Example 2 Construction of Corynebacterium glutamicum overexpression plasmids pEC-XK99E-AAD-KDC and pXMJ19-yqhD

[0157] The corresponding genes AAD (SEQ ID NO.1), KDC (SEQ ID NO.2) and yqhD (SEQ ID NO.3) of the overexpressed enzyme were synthesized by the whole gene synthesis method, and the primer pairs AAD-F / AAD-R, KDC-F / KDC-R and yqhD-F / yqhD-R were used for PCR amplification to obtain fragments AAD, KDC and yqhD; at the same time, the plasmid vectors pEC-XK99E and pXMJ19 were PCR amplified by primer pairs pEC-XK99E-F / pEC-XK99E-R and pXMJ19-F / pXMJ19-R to obtain fragments pEC-XK99E-BB and pXMJ19-BB. The obtained 5 PCR products were detected by 1.0% agarose gel electrophoresis and the fragments were purified by a clean-up kit.

[0160] Example 3 Improving the expression of enzymes related to the homoserine synthesis pathway of Corynebacterium glutamicum

[0161] The pK18mobsacB-Psod-aspB plasmid was transferred into C. glutamicum ATCC 13032, and the positive clones with successful recombination were screened by kanamycin and colony PCR (primer pair aspB-UC-F / Psod-R). The selected transformants were cultured with sucrose to reversely screen and eliminate the plasmid vector and kanamycin resistance. The steps are as follows: the transformants were inoculated in 5mL BHI-Sucrose liquid culture medium, cultured overnight at 30℃ and 220rpm, and the bacterial solution was diluted to a certain multiple and coated on a BHI-Sucrose solid plate. The colonies grown on the plate were plated on a BHI solid plate without resistance and a BHI solid plate containing 15μg / mL kanamycin. The colonies that grew on the plate without resistance but not on the kanamycin plate were selected for PCR verification (primer pair Psod-F / aspB-DC-R), and the aspB gene (cg0294) expression enhanced strain PDO1 was obtained.

[0162] Similarly, the pK18mobsacB-Psod-lysC-asd plasmid was transferred into PDO1, and positive clones with successful recombination were screened using kanamycin and colony PCR (primer pair lysC-UC-F / Psod-R). The selected transformants were cultured with sucrose to reversely screen for eliminating the plasmid vector and kanamycin resistance, and then verified by PCR (primer pair Psod-F / lysC-DC-R), thus obtaining the strain PDO2 with enhanced expression of the lysC-asd gene cluster (lysC, cg0306; asd, cg0307).

[0163] Similarly, the pK18mobsacB-Psod-thrA plasmid was transferred into PDO2, and positive clones with successful recombination were screened using kanamycin and colony PCR (primer pair thrA-UC-F / Psod-R). The selected transformants were cultured with sucrose to reversely screen for eliminating the plasmid vector and kanamycin resistance, and then verified by PCR (primer pair Psod-F / thrA-DC-R), thus obtaining the strain PDO3 with enhanced expression of the thrA gene (thrA, cg1337).

The above two strains PDO4 and PDO5 were inoculated into 5 mL of LB liquid medium containing 15 μg / mL kanamycin, 10 μg / mL chloramphenicol and 20 g / L glucose, respectively, and cultured at 30°C 200rpm for 16 hours, and then transferred to a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 30 mL of fermentation medium at 1% (v / v), and IPTG was added at a final concentration of 100 μM after culturing at 30°C 200rpm for 4 hours. After induction culture for 48 hours, the fermentation broth was collected, and the concentration of 1,3-PDO was detected by HPLC. The results showed that the 1,3-PDO yield of PDO4 was 1.4 g / L, and the 1,3-PDO yield of PDO5 was 6.7 g / L.

[0167] The formula of shake flask fermentation medium is: glucose 40g / L, yeast powder 5g / L, urea 5g / L, KH2PO4 3g / L, Na2HPO4·3H2O 5g / L, NaCl 0.5g / L, NH4Cl 1g / L, thiamine hydrochloride (VB1) 1g / L, biotin 0.1g / L. The final concentration of kanamycin is 15μg / mL, and the final concentration of chloramphenicol is 10μg / mL.

[0168] 2) 5L fermenter fed-batch fermentation

[0169] The strain PDO5 was inoculated into the seed culture medium, and cultured on a shaking table at 30°C and 200rpm for 24h. The seed solution was taken and inoculated into a 5L fermenter containing 2L fermentation culture medium at 10% (v / v). The fed-batch fermentation of the present invention was carried out at 30°C, and the pH in the fermentation system was maintained at pH 7.0 by automatically adding 25% ammonia water. The air flow rate range was 1.0 vvm (air volume / working volume / minute). When the glucose concentration in the culture medium dropped to 1g / L, the feed culture medium solution was added and the residual glucose concentration was adjusted to above 1g / L. The fermentation was carried out for more than 72h, and the 1,3-PDO yield was 54.3g / L.

[0170] Among them, the formula of seed culture medium and fermentation medium is the same as that of shake flask fermentation step.

[0171] The fermentation feed medium was an aqueous solution containing the following ingredients: 500 g / L glucose, 9 g / L KH2PO4, 2.5 g / LMgSO4, 3.5 g / L K2SO4, 0.28 g / L Na2SO4, 10 ml / L micronutrient solution;

[0172] The trace element solution in the feed medium is an aqueous solution containing the following ingredients: 10.2 g / L ZnSO4·7H2O, 0.50 g / L MnCl2·4H2O, 0.5 g / L CuSO4, 0.86 g / L CoCl2·6H2O, 0.56 g / L Na2MoO4·2H2O, 3.84 g / L CaCl2·2H2O, 5.12 g / L FeSO4·7H2O, 0.05 g / L biotin, 1 g / L thiamine hydrochloride (VB1), 1 g / L nicotinic acid. After the solution is prepared, it is heated at 121°C for 20 min and sterilized at 4°C for storage.

[0173] In summary, the Corynebacterium glutamicum with high 1,3-propylene glycol production of the present invention makes the Corynebacterium glutamicum overexpress AAD gene, KDC gene and yqhD gene, and enhances the expression of enzyme genes related to the homoserine biosynthesis pathway, so that in the process of fermentation and production of 1,3-propylene glycol, the yield in the shake flask stage is as high as 6.7 g / L, and the yield in the fermenter fermentation is as high as 54.3 g / L, the fermentation cost is low and the yield is high, the benefit of producing 1,3-propylene glycol is maximized, and the Corynebacterium glutamicum is suitable for practical promotion and application.
