Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and in particular relates to a method for improving methanol assimilation and acetic acid and butyric acid synthesis by utilizing gene MESH1. Background Art
[0002] Methanol (CH3OH), also known as wood alcohol, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a slight alcohol smell. It is the simplest alcohol compound. Methanol has a wide range of applications in industry and is often used as a solvent, fuel, and raw material for chemical synthesis. Methanol has a boiling point of 64.7°C, a melting point of -97.6°C, and a density of 0.791 g / cm³ (at 20°C). Methanol is miscible with most organic solvents such as water, alcohols, and ethers, and has good solubility. At the same time, methanol is one of the simplest energy storage molecules and can be used to produce a wide variety of products. Since methanol can be produced from biomass, many countries can produce and utilize biomethanol. Compared with fossil fuels, the combustion of biomethanol can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 80%, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 95%, and eliminate sulfur oxide emissions. Green methanol can be sustainably produced from biomass (biomethanol) or synthesized from greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide or methane. Compared with traditional biotechnology, methanol-based bioprocesses are independent of plant-derived sugars and can alleviate tight agricultural resources.
[0003] Butyribacterium methylotrphicum, classified as Clostridium in bacteriology, is an obligate anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus. Butyribacterium methylotrphicum is also a type of anaerobic natural methylotrophic bacteria, which can simultaneously use methanol, CO, CO2 and other carbon compounds for fermentation to produce organic acid substances. It can use methanol as the only carbon source to synthesize organic acids such as acetic acid and butyric acid. Therefore, Butyribacterium methylotrphicum is different from aerobic methylotrophic bacteria. The methanol metabolic pathway consumes less reducing power, which is mainly used for the accumulation of metabolites. At the same time, the strain has the advantages of high tolerance to methanol and fast methanol metabolism rate. Its main fermentation products are carboxylic acids, butyric acid and corresponding alcohols, etc., which has certain research value in the biomanufacturing industry.
[0004] However, current research mainly focuses on the fermentation conditions and culture medium screening of Methylobacterium butyricum, and does not involve related genetic engineering modifications, which limits the development and application of strains. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for improving methanol assimilation and the synthesis of acetate and butyrate by using the gene MESH1. It is the first time to construct and propose an artificially constructed (p)ppGpp pathway in methylbutyric acid bacteria, which improves the efficiency of methanol assimilation and product butyrate synthesis, lays a foundation for the future production of compounds by methylbutyric acid bacteria, and has far-reaching significance.
[0006] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A method for improving methanol assimilation and acetic acid and butyric acid synthesis by using gene MESH1 comprises the following steps: Step 1, constructing the recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl-MESH1, optimizing the codon preference, synthesizing the MESH1 gene sequence by Qingke Biotechnology Company, and selecting primers to connect the MESH1 fragment to the vector pXY3 using the XHolI / XbaI restriction site; Step 2, constructing the recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl1-MESH1 or pXY3-thl3-MESH1; Step 3, the recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl1-MESH1 or pXY3-thl3-MESH1 is methylated and then transformed into Butyricum methylophilum to obtain recombinant Butyricum methylophilum BM / pXY3-thl1-MESH1 or BM / pXY3-thl3-MESH1.
[0007] As an improvement, the construction method of the recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl1-MESH1 or pXY3-thl3-MESH1 in step 2 is: take the recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl-MESH1, use primers th11-F / th11-R or th13-F / th13-R to perform circular PCR amplification to obtain a plasmid fragment, and then obtain the recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl1-MESH1 or recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl3-MESH1 by digestion and transformation.
[0008] A further improvement is that the method for methylation modification and transformation in step 3 is: transforming the recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl1-MESH1 or the recombinant plasmid pXY3-thl3-MESH1 into Escherichia coli Top10 containing pMCljs, culturing and extracting the methylated plasmid, and then transforming it into Butyricum methylophyllum by electroporation to obtain reconstructed Butyricum methylophyllum BM / pXY3-thl1-MESH1 or BM / pXY3-thl3-MESH1.
[0009] The recombinant butyric acid bacteria of methylotrophic acid constructed by the above method belongs to the genus Clostridium in bacteriological classification and is an obligate anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus. It can simultaneously utilize a variety of carbon-one raw materials for fermentation, has high tolerance to methanol, metabolizes methanol at a fast rate, and the main fermentation products are carboxylic acids, butyric acid and corresponding alcohols.
[0010] The above-mentioned recombinant Butyricum methylotrophicum is used in the production of acetic acid and butyric acid by methanol assimilation and fermentation.
[0011] As an improvement, a single colony of the reconstructed Butyric acid bacteria methylotrophic acid was picked on the plate and inoculated into 2 ml YTF medium containing erythromycin. After culturing for 12-16 hours, all the bacterial liquid in the centrifuge tube was transferred to an ampoule and grown to an OD600 of 1-1.2. The bacterial liquid was poured into a 50 ml centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the culture was resuspended with PB medium and inoculated into 50 ml PB medium at an inoculum size of OD600=0.1. 100 mM methanol and 20 mM sodium bicarbonate were added. At regular intervals, 2 ml of the bacterial liquid was aspirated, and the cells were resuspended after centrifugation for determining the cell density. The supernatant was transferred to a new centrifuge tube for storage and used for high performance liquid chromatography detection of methanol and butyric acid.
[0012] Beneficial effects:
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses the gene MESH1 to improve methanol assimilation and acetate and butyrate synthesis. The (p)ppGpp-mediated rigorous reaction in Methylobutyric acid bacteria is an important mechanism for bacteria to cope with stress conditions. By optimizing the intracellular (p)ppGpp content, intracellular metabolism and transport-related proteins can be regulated. Through the synergistic effect of multiple factors, the regulatory function is exerted at multiple levels, thereby regulating the growth and reproduction rate of bacteria, improving the efficiency of methanol assimilation and acetate and butyrate synthesis, which conforms to the concept of green and sustainable development and provides a new idea for the resource utilization of CO2. The specific advantages are as follows: 1. This method breaks through the traditional industrial microbial fermentation substrate and uses biomass production of green methanol, which is economical and environmentally friendly; 2. This method proposed for the first time to use the (p)ppGpp rigorous reaction pathway in Butyricum methylotrophicum, achieving a significant increase in methanol assimilation efficiency and maximum biomass; 3. By interfering with the (p)ppGpp content of Butyricum methylotrophicum, the efficiency of methanol assimilation and butyrate synthesis was further improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] Example 5 Methanol-catalyzed synthesis of products by recombinant strains Single colonies of the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl-MESH1, recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl1-MESH1, recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl2-MESH1, and recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl3-MESH1 were picked up on the plate, inoculated into 2 ml YTF medium containing erythromycin with a final concentration of 30 ug / mL. After culturing for 12-16 hours, all the bacterial liquid in the centrifuge tube was transferred to an ampoule, grown to OD600 of 1-1.2, poured into a 50 ml centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min, discarded the supernatant, resuspended with PB medium, and inoculated into 50 ml PB medium at an inoculum size of OD600 = 0.1, and then 100 mM methanol + 20 mM sodium bicarbonate were added. The culture was repeated every 24 hours. h, aspirate 2 ml of bacterial solution, centrifuge, resuspend in 2 ml of ultrapure water, detect its OD600, and transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube for storage.
[0033] Cell growth determination: After a certain fermentation period, take 2 ml of bacterial solution and centrifuge to remove the supernatant, then resuspend it with ultrapure water and measure its OD600 to determine its cell concentration.
[0034] Determination of methanol content: Agilent high performance liquid chromatography, the chromatographic column is Biorad HPX-87H, the mobile phase is 0.8 g / L H2SO4 solution, the column temperature is 60℃, the injection volume is 20 μL, the flow rate is 0.5mL / min, and the detector is a differential detector.
[0035] For the determination of acetic acid and butyric acid content, the detector is an ultraviolet detector.
[0036] The specific calculation formula is: Methanol consumption calculation formula: (theoretical methanol - actual methanol consumption) / theoretical methanol The formula for calculating the increase is: (the amount of experimental product - the amount of control group product) / the amount of control group product.
[0037] For example, in the logarithmic growth phase, the methanol residue of the control strain BM / pXY3 is 1.456 g / L, so the methanol consumption is: (3.24-1.456) / 3.24=55% The methanol residue of the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl-MESH1 is 1.5 g / L, so the methanol consumption is: (3.24-1.5) / 3.24=53.7% Similarly, the methanol consumption of the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl1-MESH1 was 73.7%, the methanol consumption of the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl2-MESH1 was 42.5%, and the methanol consumption of the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl3-MESH1 was 80.2%.
[0038] The catalytic synthesis of different recombinant strains is shown in Figure 3-4 shown.
[0039] The acetic acid production of Pth1 is 1.039 g / L, and the control pxy3 is 0.85 g / L, so the calculation method is (1.039-0.85) / 0.85=22.23% The regulation of promoter Pth1 increased the production of acetate and butyrate in the recombinant strain by 22.23% and 14.54%, respectively.
[0040] The promoter Pth11 was used to regulate the acetic acid production of the recombinant strain by 18.35% and the butyric acid production by 29.91%.
[0041] When the promoter Pth12 was used to regulate the expression of MESH1, the methanol utilization performance of the recombinant B. methylotrophicum was reduced, with the acetic acid production reduced by 42.4% and the butyric acid production reduced by 10.16% compared with the original strain.
[0042] When the promoter Pth13 was used to regulate the expression of MESH1, the methanol utilization performance of the recombinant B. methylotrophicum reached the optimal value, the specific growth rate increased by 1.38 times compared with the original strain, the methanol consumption increased by 80.2%, and the acetic acid production and butyric acid production increased by 32.7% and 34.38% respectively compared with the control group. The growth phenotypes of the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl-MESH1, the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl1-MESH1, the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl2-MESH1, and the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl3-MESH1 are as follows Figure 1 As shown. The growth of the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl2-MESH1 was roughly the same as that of the control group, and the cell growth concentrations of the recombinant strains BM / pXY3-thl-MESH1, BM / pXY3-thl1-MESH1, and BM / pXY3-thl3-MESH1 were all higher than those of the control. This indicates that different promoter regulation affects the growth and metabolism of cells, among which the growth of the recombinant strain BM / pXY3-thl3-MESH1 is the most obvious.
[0043] In summary, the present invention improves the ability of Methylbutyric acid bacteria to assimilate methanol and synthesize acetic acid and butyric acid by artificially constructing MESH1 to interfere with the (p)ppGpp pathway by comparing promoters of different strengths. Although the promoter strength is: pth11>pth13>pth12, the present invention proves that pth13 has a better effect, which further proves that it is not the stronger the strength, the better the effect, but that different promoters regulate ppGpp to achieve a moderate effect. It lays a foundation for the future use of Methylbutyric acid bacteria to produce compounds, which has far-reaching significance.
