Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, and specifically relates to a recombinant Escherichia coli for producing D-psicose and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] D-allulose is a safe and healthy rare monosaccharide that can be widely used in the food, medicine and other industries. As a low-calorie sweetener, allulose is 70% as sweet as sucrose, but has only 0.3% of the energy of sucrose. D-allulose not only has moderate sweetness and extremely low calories, but also has multiple pharmacological effects such as lowering blood sugar response, reducing liver fat production, maintaining body weight, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotection and immunosuppression. Because of its special nutritional and biological functions, its preparation method has received more and more attention from researchers. The content of D-allulose in nature is extremely small, and it is generally found in wheat, fruit and various other foods. Therefore, it cannot be prepared by natural extraction.

[0003] Japan is the first country in the world to research and develop allulose. In 2012, Matsutani Chemical Industry of Japan has sold rare sugar syrup with a certain proportion of D-allulose nationwide, which is favored by consumers; in 2015, South Korea's CJ cooperated with Anderson of the United States to launch the AllSweet brand, mainly selling raw materials such as syrup and powdered sugar containing a certain proportion of D-allulose to North America and other places. At the same time, British Tate & Lyle Dolcia Prima low-calorie allulose syrup entered the market. Domestic research on allulose started late, and Jiangnan University was one of the earliest scientific research institutions to start research. Its research covers gene mining and strain development, enzyme immobilization, and separation and purification of D-allulose. In terms of the published technology, the enzymes and enzyme expression effects developed by the Jiangnan University team are not lower than the data published by large foreign companies, and are basically synchronized with the international advanced level. A number of related research and development patents have been applied for. However, the mainstream production method using diastereomerase on the market has the following defects: (1) the price of the fructose raw material used is relatively high; (2) due to the limitation of the equilibrium constant of diastereomerase, the raw material cannot be completely converted into the product, requiring a complex product separation process and expensive production equipment.

[0004] The main methods for producing D-psicose traditionally include chemical and biological methods. Bilik et al. found that in an acidic aqueous solution, D-fructose can be converted into D-psicose under the catalytic action of molybdate ions. In 1997, Donald et al. prepared D-psicose by chemical synthesis of 1,2:4,5-di-O-isopropyl-β-D-pyranose. In addition, D-psicose can also be synthesized by boiling ethanol and triethylamine. With in-depth research, it was found that chemical synthesis has complex purification steps, chemical waste and worthless by-products, and the sweetness of chemically synthesized sweeteners is often not pure enough, so they are not widely used.

[0005] The biosynthesis method uses natural raw materials that exist in large quantities in nature and uses biological enzymes as catalysts to prepare allulose, which is not only conducive to reducing the cost of industrial production, but also in line with the current green and environmentally friendly production principles. At present, the main method is the biotransformation method using enzymes as catalysts. Taking isomerase as an example, the thermal stability of the identified wild-type enzymes is generally low. In order to meet the needs of industrial applications, the directional mining and thermal stability analysis and transformation of isomerases with different properties have begun to be widely studied; at the same time, during use, the preservation of enzymes is an extremely important link. Being able to extend the storage life of enzymes and maintain stability is the basis for their commercial application. At present, the biocatalysts that have been discovered and characterized for the biosynthesis of D-psicose are D-psicose-3-epimerase (DPEase) and D-tagatose-3-epimerase, and in most cases, D-fructose is selected to produce D-psicose through the catalytic conversion of these two enzymes.

[0006] Fatty acids are low-priced, easily available green organic raw materials. Their energy density is higher than that of raw materials such as glucose (D-glucose). They can also provide more reducing power for biosynthesis, thereby improving the conversion rate of biomanufacturing. They are one of the ideal raw materials for biomanufacturing and can be obtained at a low price from crude oil processing products, waste cooking oil and other sources. Glycerol and acetic acid are by-products of chemical products with a wide range of sources and low prices. Using glycerol or acetic acid as a carbon source to ferment and cultivate strains is conducive to solving the problem of competing for food with people. Glucose, as a raw material for the industrial production of fructose, is cheaper than fructose. Establishing a route for synthesizing D-psicose using glycerol, acetic acid, fatty acids and the like as raw materials for microbial growth and glucose as a raw material has great economic and social value.
