Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to the application of cell apoptosis-related proteins in the preparation of L-lysine. Background Art

[0002] At present, the microbial fermentation method is the main method for producing lysine, which has the advantages of low raw material cost, mild reaction conditions and easy large-scale production. However, there is still great room for improvement in the fermentation performance and conversion rate of current lysine strains. During the process of producing lysine by microbial fermentation, with the accumulation of lysine, a large amount of toxic substances and proteins that promote cell apoptosis will be produced during the lysine fermentation process, leading to autolysis of the bacterial cells, and a large amount of foam will be generated during the fermentation process. This not only increases the usage amount of defoamers and raises the production cost, but also the large amount of foam will reduce the acid production of the bacterial cells. Therefore, how to eliminate or alleviate the stress inhibition caused by such toxic substances, proteins that promote cell apoptosis, and foam is the key to obtaining highly efficient lysine-producing strains.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a strain that can reduce or eliminate the expression level of proteins that promote cell apoptosis during the fermentation process to produce high-yield L-lysine. Summary of the Invention

[0042] In the present invention, the regulation may be up - regulation or enhancement or increase, or may be down - regulation or inhibition or decrease.

[0043] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the regulation of the expression of the coding gene of the protein may specifically be to inhibit or reduce or down - regulate the expression of the coding gene. The inhibition or reduction or down - regulation of the expression of the coding gene can be achieved by gene knockout or gene silencing.

[0044] The so - called gene knockout refers to the phenomenon that a specific target gene is inactivated through homologous recombination. Gene knockout inactivates a specific target gene by changing the DNA sequence.

[0045] The so-called gene silencing refers to the phenomenon that a gene is not expressed or is expressed at a low level without damaging the original DNA. Gene silencing occurs on the premise of not changing the DNA sequence, resulting in the non-expression or low expression of a gene. Gene silencing can occur at two levels. One is transcriptional gene silencing caused by DNA methylation, heterochromatinization, and position effects, etc. The other is post-transcriptional gene silencing, that is, at the post-transcriptional level of a gene, the gene is inactivated by specifically inhibiting the target RNA, including antisense RNA, co-suppression, quelling, RNA interference (RNAi), and translation inhibition mediated by microRNA (miRNA), etc.

[0046] In the present invention, the substance can be a substance that performs at least one of the following 6 kinds of regulations: 1) regulation carried out at the transcriptional level of the gene; 2) regulation carried out after the transcription of the gene (that is, regulation carried out on the splicing or processing of the primary transcript of the gene); 3) regulation on the RNA transport of the gene (that is, regulation on the transport of the mRNA of the gene from the nucleus to the cytoplasm); 4) regulation on the translation of the gene; 5) regulation on the degradation of the mRNA of the gene; 6) post-translational regulation of the gene (that is, regulation on the activity of the protein translated from the gene).

[0047] When the regulation is inhibition or reduction or down-regulation, the substance can be a reagent for knocking out the protein-coding gene, such as a reagent for knocking out the protein-coding gene by homologous recombination, or a reagent for knocking out the protein-coding gene by the CRISPR-Cas system.

[0048] The reagent can be any of the following:

[0049] B1), a nucleic acid molecule that inhibits or reduces or down-regulates the expression of the protein-coding gene or a nucleic acid molecule that inhibits or reduces or down-regulates the activity or content of the protein; the nucleic acid molecule is a DNA molecule or an RNA molecule;

[0050] B2), the coding gene for expressing the RNA molecule described in B1);

[0051] B3), an expression cassette containing the gene described in B2);

[0052] B4), a recombinant vector containing the gene described in B2), or a recombinant vector containing the expression cassette described in B3);

[0053] B5), a recombinant microorganism containing the gene described in B2), or a recombinant microorganism containing the expression cassette described in B3), or a recombinant microorganism containing the recombinant vector described in B4).

[0054] The DNA molecule may be a nucleic acid molecule (such as circular DNA (such as a vector) or linear DNA) that knocks out the coding gene of the protein in the cell by homologous recombination.

[0055] The nucleotide sequence of the NCgl1050 gene contains the sequence of the NCgl1050 gene ORF (CDS) sequence (1203 bp), the nucleotide sequence of the NCgl1051 gene contains the sequence of the NCgl1051 gene ORF (CDS) sequence (540 bp), the nucleotide sequence of the NCgl2777 gene contains the sequence of the NCgl2777 gene ORF (CDS) sequence (1974 bp), the nucleotide sequence of the NCgl1706 gene contains the sequence of the NCgl1706 gene ORF (CDS) sequence (1524 bp), and the nucleotide sequence of the NCgl1707 gene contains the sequence of the NCgl1707 gene ORF (CDS) sequence (672 bp).

[0056] The present invention also provides a recombinant bacterium that does not contain or lacks the aforementioned protein.

[0057] Furthermore, the recombinant bacterium does not contain or lacks the coding gene of the aforementioned protein.

[0058] Furthermore, the recombinant bacterium includes bacteria. Specifically, the recombinant bacterium may be bacteria.

[0059] The recombinant bacterium can be obtained by knocking out or silencing the coding gene of the protein in the recipient bacterium, and the recipient bacterium contains the coding gene of the protein.

[0060] Furthermore, the recombinant bacterium includes Corynebacterium glutamicum. Specifically, the recombinant bacterium may be Corynebacterium glutamicum.

[0061] The application of the biological material related to the aforementioned protein in the preparation or improvement of glutamic acid, lysine, valine, glycine, alanine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, proline, tryptophan, serine, tyrosine, cysteine, phenylalanine, asparagine, glutamine, threonine, aspartic acid, arginine, histidine, shikimic acid, protocatechuic acid, succinic acid, α-ketoglutaric acid, citric acid, ornithine, citrulline, preferably in the preparation of L-lysine or the improvement of L-lysine production, also belongs to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0062] The biological material is any one of the following:

[0063] B1), a nucleic acid molecule that inhibits or reduces or down-regulates the expression of the coding gene of the protein or a nucleic acid molecule that inhibits or reduces or down-regulates the activity or content of the protein; the nucleic acid molecule includes a DNA molecule or an RNA molecule;

[0064] B2), a coding gene expressing the RNA molecule described in B1);

[0065] B3), an expression cassette containing the gene described in B2);

[0066] B4), a recombinant vector containing the gene described in B2), or a recombinant vector containing the expression cassette described in B3);

[0067] B5), a recombinant microorganism containing the gene described in B2), or a recombinant microorganism containing the expression cassette described in B3), or a recombinant microorganism containing the recombinant vector described in B4).

[0068] The expression cassette in the above-mentioned biological material refers to a DNA that can express the protein described above in a host cell. The expression cassette may also include a single-stranded or double-stranded nucleic acid molecule containing all the regulatory sequences necessary for the nucleic acid molecule expressing any one of the above proteins. Under its compatible conditions, the regulatory sequences can direct the coding sequence to express any one of the above proteins in a suitable host cell. The regulatory sequences include, but are not limited to, leader sequences, polyadenylation sequences, propeptide sequences, promoters, signal sequences, and transcription terminators. At a minimum, the regulatory sequences should include a promoter and transcription and translation termination signals. To introduce specific restriction enzyme sites into the vector for ligating the regulatory sequences with the coding region of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein, regulatory sequences with linkers can be provided. The regulatory sequences can be suitable promoter sequences, i.e., nucleic acid sequences recognizable by the host cell expressing the nucleic acid sequence. The promoter sequence contains transcriptional regulatory sequences mediating protein expression. The promoter can be any nucleic acid sequence having transcriptional activity in the selected host cell, including mutant, truncated, and hybrid promoters, and can be derived from genes encoding extracellular or intracellular proteins homologous or heterologous to the host cell. The regulatory sequences can also be suitable transcription termination sequences, i.e., a sequence that can be recognized by the host cell to terminate transcription. The termination sequence is operably linked to the 3'-end of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein. Any terminator that can function in the selected host cell can be used in the present invention. The regulatory sequences can also be suitable leader sequences, i.e., the untranslated region of mRNA that is important for translation in the host cell. The leader sequence is operably linked to the 5'-end of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein. Any leader sequence that can function in the selected host cell can be used in the present invention. The regulatory sequences can also be signal peptide coding regions, which encode an amino acid sequence linked to the amino terminus of the protein and can direct the encoded protein into the cell secretion pathway. Signal peptide coding regions that can direct the expressed protein into the secretion pathway of the host cell used can be used in the present invention. It may also be necessary to add regulatory sequences that can regulate protein expression according to the growth of the host cell. Examples of regulatory systems are those that can respond to chemical or physical stimulants (including in the presence of regulatory compounds) to turn on or off gene expression. Other examples of regulatory sequences are those that can amplify genes. In these examples, the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein should be operably linked to the regulatory sequences.

[0069] The recombinant vector may include a nucleic acid molecule encoding the above-mentioned protein, a promoter, and transcription and translation termination signals. When preparing the recombinant vector, the nucleic acid molecule encoding the above-mentioned protein can be positioned in the vector so as to be operably linked to appropriate expression control sequences. The recombinant vector can be any vector that facilitates recombinant DNA manipulation and expression of the nucleic acid sequence (such as a plasmid or a virus). The choice of vector usually depends on the compatibility of the vector with the host cell into which it will be introduced. The vector can be a linear or closed-loop plasmid. The vector can be an autonomously replicating vector (i.e., a complete structure existing outside the chromosome and capable of replicating independently of the chromosome), such as a plasmid, an episome, a minichromosome, or an artificial chromosome. The vector can contain any mechanism that ensures self-replication. Alternatively, the vector is a vector that, when introduced into the host cell, will integrate into the genome and replicate with the chromosome into which it has integrated. In addition, a single vector or plasmid can be used, or two or more vectors or plasmids that collectively contain all the DNA to be introduced into the host cell genome, or a transposon. The vector contains one or more selectable markers that facilitate the selection of transformed cells. A selectable marker is a gene whose product confers resistance to biocides or viruses, resistance to heavy metals, or prototrophy to auxotrophs, etc. Examples of bacterial selectable markers are the dal gene of Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus licheniformis, or resistance markers for antibiotics such as ampicillin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, or tetracycline. The vector contains elements that enable the vector to be stably integrated into the host cell genome or ensure autonomous replication of the vector in the cell independently of the cell genome. In the case of autonomous replication, the vector can also contain an origin of replication that enables the vector to replicate autonomously in the target host cell. The origin of replication can carry a mutation that makes it temperature-sensitive in the host cell (see, for example, fEhrlich, 1978, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 75: 1433). One or more copies of the nucleic acid molecule encoding any of the above-mentioned proteins of the present invention can be inserted into the host cell to increase the yield of the gene product. The increase in the copy number of the nucleic acid molecule can be achieved by inserting at least one additional copy of the nucleic acid molecule into the host cell genome or by inserting an amplifiable selectable marker together with the nucleic acid molecule, and by culturing the cells in the presence of a suitable selection reagent to select cells containing the amplified copy of the selectable marker gene and thus containing an additional copy of the nucleic acid molecule. The operations for ligating the above-mentioned elements to construct the recombinant expression vector of the present invention are well known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, 1989).

[0070] The term "operably linked" is defined herein as a conformation in which a regulatory sequence is in an appropriate position relative to the coding sequence of a DNA sequence such that the regulatory sequence directs the expression of the protein.

[0071] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a recombinant microorganism, comprising the following steps: down-regulating, reducing or inhibiting the expression level of a gene in a target microorganism, and / or down-regulating, reducing or inhibiting the expression level or activity of the protein encoded by the gene in the target microorganism, to obtain a recombinant microorganism; the gene includes the aforementioned NCgl1706 gene, NCgll707 gene, NCgl2777 gene, NCgl1050 gene and / or NCgll051 gene.

[0072] Specifically, the gene may be the NCgl1706 gene, NCgll707 gene, NCgl2777 gene, NCgl1050 gene and NCgll051 gene; the gene may be the NCgl2777 gene, the NCgl1706 gene and the NCgl1707 gene; the gene may also be the NCgl1050 gene, the NCgl1051 gene and the NCgl2777 gene; the gene may also be the NCgl1050 gene, the NCgl1051 gene, the NCgl1706 gene and the NCgl1707 gene; the gene may be the NCgl1706 gene and the NCgll707 gene; the gene may be the NCgl2777 gene; the gene may be the NCgl1050 gene and the NCgll051 gene;

[0073] Further, in the above method, the target microorganism includes Corynebacterium glutamicum. Specifically, the target microorganism may be Corynebacterium glutamicum.

[0074] The increase in L-lysine production may be an increase in the L-lysine production of bacteria.

[0075] The present invention also provides a whole-cell catalyst, and the whole-cell catalyst includes the aforementioned recombinant bacterium or the aforementioned biological material.

[0076] The present invention also provides a method for preparing L-lysine, comprising fermenting the aforementioned recombinant bacterium, biological material or whole-cell catalyst to prepare L-lysine.

[0091] Example 1: Construction of an engineered strain with deletion of NCgl1706 - NCgll707 genes on the genome

[0092] Based on the Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 sequence published by NCBI, the NCgl1706 - NCgll707 genes in the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 (derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032) were knocked out using the pk18mobsacB plasmid (confirmed by sequencing that the complete NCgl1706 - NCgll707 genes were retained on the chromosome of the YP097158 strain), in order to more deeply study the effects of these genes on L - lysine synthesis.

[0093] I. Construction of the knockout plasmid

[0094] According to the genomic sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 published by NCBI, two pairs of primers for amplifying the fragments at both ends of the NCgl1706 - NCgll707 genes were synthesized as upstream and downstream homologous arm fragments. The primer design is as follows (synthesized by Invitrogen, Shanghai):

[0095] P1:

[0096] P2: 5'-CTATTTTCAGGAACATTTACGTGTCGTGAGCGATAAAAAACAC-3';

[0097] P3: 5'-GTGTTTTTTATCGCTCACGACACGTAAATGTTCCTGAAAATAG-3';

[0098] P4:

[0099] Among the above primers, the underlined nucleotide sequences are homologous sequences on pK18, which are used to integrate the DNA fragment (upstream homologous arm - downstream homologous arm) into the pK18mobsacB plasmid (Addgene) by homologous recombination. P2 and P3 are used to ligate the upstream homologous arm and the downstream homologous arm by homologous recombination.

[0100] Construction method: Using the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as a template, PCR amplification was performed with primers P1 / P2, P3 / P4 and the high-fidelity DNA polymerase KAPA HiFi HotStart (purchased from Shanghai Huayasi Chuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., KK2601) to obtain an upstream homologous arm fragment of 797 bp for knocking out the NCgl1706-NCgll707 gene (the sequence is shown as the 1st to 797th bases in the ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1490 bp)) and a downstream homologous arm fragment of 693 bp (the sequence is shown as the 798th to 1490th bases in the ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1490 bp)). The amplified products were electrophoresed and purified using a column DNA gel recovery kit. The two recovered DNA fragments were ligated with the pK18mobsacB plasmid (purchased from Addgene) purified after digestion with Xbal I / BamH I at 50 °C for 30 min using NEBuilder enzyme (purchased from NEB). The monoclonal colonies grown after transformation of the ligation products were identified by PCR with primers M13F (5′-TGTAAAACGACGGCCAGT-3′) / M13R (5′-CAGGAAACAGCTATGACC-3′) to obtain the positive knockout vector pK18-ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707, which contains a homologous DNA fragment of 1490 bp for knocking out the NCgl1706-NCgll707 gene (the sequence is shown as the ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1490 bp)). This plasmid contains kanamycin resistance as a screening marker, and the plasmid was sent for sequencing.

[0104] The correctly sequenced knockout plasmid pK18-ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707 was electrotransformed into Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 and cultured according to the medium components and culture conditions shown in Table 1. The single colonies produced by the culture were identified by PCR using primers P1 / P4: Strains that could simultaneously amplify bands of 1490 bp and 3931 bp were positive strains, and strains that only amplified the 3931 bp band were the original bacteria. After culturing the positive strains on a 15% sucrose solid medium (shown in Table 1) for 30 h, monoclonal colonies were selected and screened on solid medium plates with and without kanamycin. Monoclonal strains that grew on the medium without kanamycin but did not grow on the medium with kanamycin were further identified by PCR using primers P1 / P4. Strains that could amplify a band of 1490 bp (shown as the ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1490 bp)) were positive strains with the coding region of the NCgl1706-NCgll707 gene knocked out. The gene fragment of the positive strain (with the coding region of the NCgl1706-NCgll707 gene knocked out) was amplified again by primers P1 / P4 for sequencing, and the strain with correct sequencing was named YPL-ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707.

[0105] The recombinant bacterium YPL-ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707 is a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum obtained by replacing the 1,881,670th to 1,885,600th bases of the ATCC13032 genome (GenBank: NC_03450, 22-DEC-2014) with the ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1490 bp), while keeping other nucleotide sequences unchanged. That is, the coding regions of the NCgl1706 gene (the sequence is like the NCgl1706 gene ORF (CDS) sequence (1524 bp), encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No.1, which is the 1,882,467th to 1,883,990th of the ATCC13032 genome (GenBank: NC_03450, 22-DEC-2014)) and the NCgl1707 gene (the sequence is the NCgll707 gene ORF (CDS) sequence (672 bp), encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No.2, which is the 1,884,217th to 1,884,888th of the ATCC13032 genome (GenBank: NC_03450, 22-DEC-2014)) in the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 were knocked out, while keeping other nucleotides in the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 unchanged to obtain the recombinant bacterium.

[0117] 1. Construction of knockout plasmid

[0118] According to the genomic sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 published by NCBI, two pairs of primers for amplifying the fragments at both ends of the NCgl2777 gene were synthesized as upstream and downstream homologous arm fragments. The primer design is as follows (synthesized by Invitrogen, Shanghai):

[0123] Among the above primers, the underlined nucleotide sequences are homologous sequences on pK18, which are used to integrate the DNA fragment (upstream homologous arm - downstream homologous arm) into the pK18mobsacB plasmid (Addgene) by homologous recombination. P6 and P7 are used to ligate the upstream homologous arm and the downstream homologous arm by homologous recombination.

[0124] Construction method: Using the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as a template, PCR amplification was carried out with primers P5 / P6, P7 / P8 and high-fidelity DNA polymerase KAPA HiFi HotStart (purchased from Shanghai Huayasi Chuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., KK2601) to obtain an upstream homologous arm fragment of 788 bp for knocking out the NCgl2777 gene (the sequence is shown as 1-788 in the ΔNCgl2777 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1480 bp)) and a downstream homologous arm fragment of 692 bp (the sequence is shown as 789-1480 in the ΔNCgl2777 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1480 bp)). Electrophoresis was performed on the amplified products and purified using a column DNA gel recovery kit. The two recovered DNA fragments were ligated with the pK18mobsacB plasmid (purchased from Addgene) purified after digestion with Xbal I / BamH I using NEBuilder enzyme (purchased from NEB) at 50 °C for 30 min. The monoclonal colonies grown after transformation of the ligation products were identified by PCR with primers M13F (5′-TGTAAAACGACGGCCAGT-3′) / M13R (5′-CAGGAAACAGCTATGACC-3′) to obtain the positive knockout vector pK18-ΔNCgl2777, which contains a homologous DNA fragment of 1480 bp for knocking out the NCgl2777 gene (the sequence is shown as the ΔNCgl2777 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1480 bp)). This plasmid contains kanamycin resistance as a selection marker, and the plasmid was sent for sequencing.

The single colonies produced by the culture were identified by PCR using primers P5 / P8: Strains that could simultaneously amplify bands of 1480 bp and 3201 bp were positive strains, and strains that only amplified the 3201 bp band were the original bacteria. After culturing the positive strains on a 15% sucrose solid medium (shown in Table 1) for 30 h, monoclonal colonies were selected and screened on solid medium plates with and without kanamycin. Monoclonal strains that grew on the medium without kanamycin but did not grow on the medium with kanamycin were further identified by PCR using primers P5 / P8. Strains that could amplify a band of 1480 bp (shown by the ΔNCgl2777 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1480 bp)) were positive strains with the coding region of the NCgl2777 gene knocked out. The gene fragment of the positive strain (with the coding region of the NCgl2777 gene knocked out) was amplified again by primers P5 / P8 for sequencing, and the strain with correct sequencing was named YPL-ΔNCgl2777.

[0168] III. RT-qPCR Detection of Recombinant Strains

[0169] The recombinant bacterium YPL-ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707-ΔNCgl1050-NCgll051 and Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 were cultured separately for 24 h, and then the cells were collected by centrifugation at 4°C. RNA was extracted using an RNA extraction kit (purchased from Takara, Code No.: 9108), and reverse transcribed into cDNA using a Premix reverse transcription kit (purchased from Takara, Code No.: RR036Q). The transcriptional levels of genes NCgl1706, NCgll707, NCgl1050, and NCgl1051 were detected using a qPCR kit (purchased from Takara, Code No.: RR42LR). The internal reference gene was 16S RNA, and the primers were referenced from Example 1 and Example 3.

[0170] As can be seen from Figure 5 , compared with Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158, the expression levels of genes NCgl1706, NCgll707, NCgl1050, and NCgl1051 in the recombinant bacterium YPL-ΔNCgl1706-NCgl l707-ΔNCgl1050-NCgll051 decreased significantly, proving that the genes NCgl1706, NCgll707, NCgl1050, and NCgl1051 were successfully knocked out.

[0172] Based on the sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 published by NCBI, the NCgl2777 gene and the NCgl1050-NCgll051 gene in the genome of the L-lysine producing strain YP097158 (derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032) were knocked out using the pk18mobsacB plasmid (it was confirmed by sequencing that the complete NCgl2777 gene and NCgl1050-NCgll051 gene were retained on the chromosome of the YP097158 strain), so as to more deeply study the effects of these genes on the synthesis of L-lysine.

[0173] The correctly constructed knockout plasmid pK18-ΔNCgl1050-NCgll051 in Example 3 was electrotransformed into the recombinant bacterium YPL-ΔNCgl2777 constructed in Example 2, and cultured according to the culture medium components and culture conditions shown in Table 1. The single colonies produced by the culture were identified by PCR with primers P9 / P12: the strain that could simultaneously amplify bands of 1716 bp and 3391 bp was the positive strain, and the strain that only amplified the 3391 bp band was the original bacterium. After culturing the positive strain on a 15% sucrose solid medium (shown in Table 1) for 30 h, single colonies were selected and screened on solid medium plates containing kanamycin and without kanamycin. The monoclonal strain that grew on the medium without kanamycin but did not grow on the medium with kanamycin was further identified by PCR with primers P9 / P12. The strain that could amplify a band of 1716 bp (shown by the ΔNCgl1050-NCgll051 homologous DNA fragment sequence (1716 bp)) was the positive strain with the coding region of the NCgl1050-NCgll051 gene knocked out.

That is, the coding region of the NCgl2777 gene in the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 (the sequence is shown as the ORF (CDS) sequence of the NCgl2777 gene (1,974 bp), encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 3, that is, the 3,071,901st to 3,073,621st positions of the ATCC13032 genome (GenBank: NC_03450, 22-DEC-2014)) was knocked out; the coding region of the NCgl1050 gene (the sequence is shown as the ORF (CDS) sequence of the NCgl1050 gene (1,203 bp), encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 4, that is, the 1,141,341st to 1,142,475th positions of the ATCC13032 genome (GenBank: NC_03450, 22-DEC-2014)) was knocked out; the coding region of the NCgl1051 gene (the sequence is shown as the ORF (CDS) sequence of the NCg l1051 gene (540 bp), encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 5, that is, the 1,142,476th to 1,143,015th positions of the ATCC13032 genome (GenBank: NC_03450, 22-DEC-2014)) was knocked out, and other nucleotides in the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 were kept unchanged to obtain the recombinant strain.

[0175] III. RT-qPCR Detection of Recombinant Strains

[0176] After culturing the recombinant bacterium YPL-ΔNCgl2777-ΔNCgl1050-NCgll051 and Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158 for 24 h respectively, the cells were collected by centrifugation at 4°C. RNA was extracted using an RNA extraction kit (purchased from Takara, Code No.: 9108), and the RNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA using a Premix reverse transcription kit (purchased from Takara, Code No.: RR036Q). The transcriptional levels of genes NCgl2777, NCgl1050, and NCgl1051 were detected using a qPCR kit (purchased from Takara, Code No.: RR42LR). The internal reference gene was 16S RNA, and the primers were referred to Example 2 and Example 3.

[0177] As can be seen from Figure 6 it, compared with Corynebacterium glutamicum YP097158, the expression levels of genes NCgl2777, NCgl1050, and NCgl1051 in the recombinant bacterium YPL-ΔNCgl2777-ΔNCgl1050-NCgll051 decreased significantly, proving that the genes NCgl2777, NCgl1050, and NCgl1051 were successfully knocked out.

[0180] The correctly constructed knockout plasmid pK18-ΔNCgl1050-NCgll051 in Example 3 was electrotransformed into the recombinant bacterium YPL-ΔNCgl1706-NCgll707-ΔNCgl2777 constructed in Example 4, and cultured according to the culture medium components and culture conditions shown in Table 1. The single colonies produced by the culture were identified by PCR with primers P9 / P12: the strain that could simultaneously amplify bands of 1716 bp and 3391 bp was the positive strain, and the strain that only amplified the 3391 bp band was the original bacterium. After culturing the positive strain on a 15% sucrose solid medium (shown in Table 1) for 30 h, single colonies were selected and screened on solid medium plates containing kanamycin and without kanamycin. The monoclonal strain that grew on the medium without kanamycin but did not grow on the medium with kanamycin was further identified by PCR with primers P9 / P12.
