Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and in particular relates to a recombinant Escherichia coli THRS-6 and a method for using the recombinant Escherichia coli THRS-6 to synthesize L-threonine. Background Art

[0002] Threonine is an essential amino acid for mammals, mainly used in medicine, chemical reagents, food fortifiers, feed additives, etc. Because threonine contains hydroxyl groups in its structure, it has a water-retaining effect on human skin. It combines with oligosaccharide chains and plays an important role in protecting cell membranes. It can promote phospholipid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation in the body. Threonine preparations have the medicinal effects of promoting human development and resisting fatty liver, and are a component of compound amino acid infusions. At the same time, threonine is the second limiting amino acid in pig feed and the third limiting amino acid in poultry feed. In recent years, as the market share of L-threonine has gradually increased, its commercial value has also been valued by people.

[0003] At present, the main methods for producing L-threonine are chemical synthesis, protein hydrolysis and microbial fermentation. Among them, microbial fermentation has low production cost, high production intensity and low environmental pollution, making it the most widely used method for industrial production of L-threonine. At present, the strains producing L-threonine mainly include Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium glutamicum and Serratia marcescens. Tianjin Institute of Industrial Microbiology has removed the L-threonine metabolic bottleneck through in vitro metabolic bottleneck identification, which has increased the L-threonine production by 30%. Qiao Jianjun of Tianjin University used THRD as the starting strain and improved the L-threonine production through two-stage carbon allocation and cofactor generation strategies. The strain produced 70.8g / L L-threonine in 40h, and the sugar-acid conversion rate was 40.4%. Wang Xiaoyuan of Jiangnan University transformed Escherichia coli TWF001 through metabolic engineering. After 36h of shake flask culture, it can produce 15.85g / L L-threonine, and the sugar-acid conversion rate is 53%. Sang Yup Lee et al. used the system biology method to construct an engineered strain from E coli W3100 (1acI-) to produce 82.4 g / L of L-threonine in 50 h of fermentation, with a sugar-acid conversion rate of 39.3%. The Tianjin Institute of Industrial Microbiology successfully screened an L-threonine mutant strain that could produce 123.61 g / L of L-threonine by constructing an L-threonine biosensor.

[0004] At present, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the yield and sugar-acid conversion rate of efficient de novo synthesis of threonine using Escherichia coli. Exploring new engineering targets to further increase L-threonine production is a goal that people are constantly working on. Expanding the L-threonine synthesis pathway by introducing exogenous genes can further increase the carbon flux of L-threonine synthesis. In addition, enhancing the stress resistance of the strain (resistance to high osmotic pressure, etc.) is expected to further increase the yield of L-threonine. Enhancing the strain's oxygen utilization rate can further increase the supply of intracellular energy and use it for product synthesis. This multi-dimensional engineering strategy has important guiding significance for the construction of recombinant strains that efficiently synthesize L-threonine. Summary of the invention
