[0003] In the prior art, the main production methods of vanillin include chemical synthesis and natural extraction, among which chemical synthesis is dominant. However, due to factors such as the single aroma, low quality, many by-products and difficulty in separation of chemically synthesized vanillin, as well as the high risk of environmental pollution, chemically synthesized vanillin cannot meet the demand for vanillin in the food and pharmaceutical markets.

[0004] Studies have shown that natural vanillin has multiple biological functions such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-cancer. Therefore, there is a huge demand for natural vanillin in the pharmaceutical and food fields. However, due to the high cost, difficulty, low yield and long plant cultivation cycle of extracting and isolating natural vanillin from natural plants, the price of natural vanillin remains high, which seriously limits the application of vanillin in food, pharmaceuticals and other fields.

[0024] 1. Transformation and screening The pACYADuet-sam8-comt-sam5 recombinant plasmid, pETDuet-ech-fcs recombinant plasmid and pET28a-fdc-cos2 recombinant plasmid constructed in the above Example 1 were co-transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells by chemical transformation. The operation process is as follows: After thawing BL21 (DE3) competent cells on ice, add the three recombinant plasmids (equal proportions) and mix well, and place on ice for 30 min; Take another BL21 (DE3) competent cell that has been dissolved on ice in advance, add two recombinant plasmids (recombinant plasmids with the first expression cassette and the third expression cassette, in equal proportions), mix well, and place on ice for 30 min; Subsequently, the mixed bacterial solution was heat-shocked in a 42°C water bath for 90 seconds. After the heat shock, the centrifuge tube containing the bacterial solution was quickly transferred to ice and kept in an ice bath for about 5 minutes. Then, add 800 μL of LB liquid medium to the centrifuge tube and culture in a shaker at 37°C and 200 r / min for 1 hour; After the culture was completed, centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 5 min, pour out the supernatant, and vortex and resuspend the remaining 200 μL of bacterial solution, then evenly spread it on an LB plate containing ampicillin and chloramphenicol resistance (ampicillin and chloramphenicol concentrations were 50 ng / L, respectively). After inverted culture at 37°C for about 12 h, pick the positive transformants for colony PCR verification; Finally, the correct positive monoclonal clones were selected and verified (sequencing verification was commissioned by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.) and inoculated into LB medium containing ampicillin and chloramphenicol resistance (ampicillin and chloramphenicol concentrations were 50 ng / L, respectively) for expansion and culture, and the following were obtained: Three recombinant plasmids were transformed into recombinant engineering bacteria (recorded as E. coli-BH092720, this number has no special technical meaning and is only an experimental record number); The recombinant engineering bacteria (denoted as E. coli-BL061423) having two recombinant plasmids (respectively, the recombinant plasmids of the first expression frame and the third expression frame) were transformed at the same time.

[0025] (II) Inducible expression The correctly transformed recombinant engineered bacteria E. coli-BH092720 and E. coli-BL061423 obtained by screening in step (i) were respectively transferred to LB liquid culture medium containing 10 g / L glucose, and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm in the dark with shaking. When the OD600 of the bacterial liquid was about 0.8, IPTG (isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside) was added to a final concentration of 1‰, and further cultured at 26°C and 220 rpm in the dark with shaking for about 24 hours to induce protein expression and synthesis of vanillin.

[0026] After the cultivation, the fermentation yield of vanillin in the above fermentation products was detected and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with vanillin standard as a control. The specific details are briefly described as follows.

[0027] Preparation of samples to be tested: Take the fermentation liquid after the above culture is completed, centrifuge it at 15000×g for 10 minutes, and keep the supernatant; filter the supernatant with a 0.2 μm filter and use it as the sample to be tested (the sample is directly tested and analyzed or stored at -80℃ for testing).

[0028] Preparation of standard curve: Prepare standard solutions with vanillin standard (dissolved in acetonitrile): 0 mg / L, 0.1 mg / L, 1.0 mg / L, 10.0 mg / L, 50.0 mg / L, 200.0 mg / L, 400.0 mg / L, 600.0 mg / L; High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was performed using an Agilent 1200 series instrument; the chromatographic column was: EclipseXDB-C18 column (4.6×150 mm), and the Ultal3000 photodiode array detector was maintained at 25°C; The mobile phases were: solvent A (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in water) and solvent B (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile), with a flow rate of 1 ml / min; Use gradient elution program: 0 min, 95% solvent A + 5% solvent B; 8 min, 20% solvent A + 80% solvent B; 10 min, 80% solvent A + 20% solvent B; 11 min, 95% solvent A + 5% solvent B; The injection volume was 10 μL; The linearity of the standard curve is: Y=8.76e+003X, correlation coefficient: 0.9999.

[0029] Assay Control: Referring to the above operation, the sample to be tested in this application was tested and compared with the standard sample. The results showed that: The HPLC characteristic peak of the fermentation product of the engineering strain E.coli-BH092720 of this application has only one main product peak ( Figure 2 The peak of vanillin standard (80 mg / L) was 9.85 min, and the signal-to-noise ratio met the qualitative requirements. Figure 1 To ( Figure 1 As shown), this indicates that the vanillin product produced by the fermentation of the engineered bacteria is natural vanillin; The fermentation products of the recombinant engineering bacteria E. coli-BL061423 transformed with two plasmids were detected by HPLC. The results showed that its characteristic peak had only one main product peak ( Figure 5 The peak of vanillin standard (80 mg / L) was 9.85 min, and the signal-to-noise ratio met the qualitative requirements. Figure 1 To ( Figure 1 ), which indicates that when only two recombinant plasmids are transformed, the vanillin product produced by the fermentation of the engineered bacteria is still natural vanillin.

[0030] Further calculation results of product peak area showed that under the conditions of 10 g / L glucose as substrate, 26°C, 220 rpm, and overnight shaking culture in the dark, the results showed that: The vanillin shake flask yield in the recombinant bacteria transformed with three plasmids simultaneously reached 33.8 mg / L; The vanillin shake flask yield in the recombinant engineered bacteria transformed with two plasmids simultaneously reached 42.72 mg / L; both showed good yield effects.
