Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a Halomonas sp. for producing PHA by using CO2 electrochemical derivatives, and a construction method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Carbon dioxide (CO2) is both a global challenge and an opportunity focus. The large amount of CO2 emitted by human activities threatens the balance of the earth's climate and may lead to a catastrophic rise in global temperature. However, CO2 also has the potential to replace fossil fuels as the main raw material for the production of carbon-based value-added chemicals (such as fuels, plastics, solvents, feed and food). But from the current technical means, it still faces great challenges to achieve efficient utilization of CO2. Plants and algae can naturally fix CO2 on a large scale through photosynthesis, but this ability is limited by various factors, including competition with agricultural resources affecting food security, land use endangering biodiversity, difficulty in processing lignocellulosic biomass, and low efficiency of sunlight utilization by phototrophic organisms. In addition, CO2 can also be fixed by pure chemical means, such as synthesis gas for the production of complex hydrocarbons. However, these processes rely on extreme conditions, have limited operational flexibility, a narrow range of products and low selectivity. Currently, some researches have tried to convert CO2 into formic acid, acetic acid and other products by electrochemical method, and then use these electrochemical products as fermentation carbon sources. This method provides a new way for the efficient utilization of CO2.

[0003] The products of CO2 electrochemical reduction usually include formic acid (HCOOH), methanol (CH3OH), formaldehyde (HCHO), methane (CH4), ethylene (CH2CH2), ethanol (CH3CH2OH), acetic acid (CH3COO - ) and the like. Research teams have tried to combine CO2 electrolysis with microbial fermentation to effectively produce high-value multi-carbon products such as poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) from gaseous CO2. However, in traditional industrial production, commonly used microbial chassis strains such as Escherichia coli, Alcaligenes odorans and Pseudomonas can only grow under neutral pH, sterile and low osmotic pressure conditions. This makes it difficult for them to adapt to the high-salt environment of CO2 electrochemical derivatives, and they are easily contaminated, requiring a large amount of energy to maintain a sterile environment. Halomonas sp. can naturally grow rapidly under high-salt, high-alkaline and non-sterile conditions, and has a PHA synthesis pathway in the body. This strain can directly utilize CO2 electrochemical reduction products. However, wild-type Halomonas sp. does not grow well in high-concentration CO2 electrochemical derivatives and the product production effect is poor. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct a recombinant Halomonas sp. strain that can tolerate CO2 electrochemical derivatives (mainly acetic acid) for industrial large-scale utilization of CO2 electrochemical derivatives.

[0160] 3. Gene integration:

[0161] Gene integration was performed according to the procedure of Example 3 using LY01-A2 as the chassis. The band was verified to be correct by PCR cloning, and the results are shown in Figure 11 . The length of the amplified fragment was 4800 bp, and there was no specific primer band. The PCR reaction liquid that was successfully verified twice was sent for testing, and the strain was named LY01-A3 after successful sequencing.

[0162] Example 6: Fermentation production capacity test using recombinant bacteria LY01-A1-A3

[0163] Fermentation was performed according to the procedure of Example 2, and the fermentation results are shown in Table 6.

[0164] Table 6: Fermentation production results of three recombinant bacteria

[0165]

[0166] According to the fermentation results, LY01 and LY01-A1-3 both successfully grew with sodium acetate as the sole carbon source, and the maximum cell dry weight of LY01-A3 was 9.5 g / L, and the PHB content reached 82.5%, indicating that overexpression of several modules of exogenous genes on the chromosome level can effectively improve the ability of bacteria to tolerate sodium acetate.

[0167] Example 7: Fermentation growth capacity test using other Halomonas

[0168] The above genetic modification strategies are introduced into Halomonas sp. LY02, Halomonas sp. LY03, Halomonas sp. LY04 and Halomonas sp. LY08, respectively, and are named as TD01-A3, LY02-A3, LY03-A3, LY04-A3 and LY08-A3, respectively.

[0169] The constructed recombinant strains and the original strain are subjected to shake flask fermentation growth ability test, and the specific implementation method is the same as in Example 6.

[0170] Table 7 Fermentation results of four recombinant strains

[0171]

[0172] According to the fermentation results, the cell dry weight and PHB content of LY02-A, LY03-A, LY04-A and LY08-A strains are significantly increased compared with the original strain. It is shown that the overexpression of several modules of exogenous genes at the chromosome level can effectively improve the strain's ability to resist carbon dioxide derivatives. The results of this example show that the method of the present application is not only suitable for Halomonas sp. LY01, but also suitable for other Halomonas sp. The introduction of metabolic genes in other Halomonas sp. can achieve the ability to strengthen the metabolism of sodium acetate.

[0173] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
