Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of microbiology and biotechnology, specifically to an engineered strain for the directed synthesis of bacillus spp. L, its recombinant vector, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Fungal diseases are a widespread problem in agricultural production. These diseases not only infect crops, leading to reduced yields or even crop failure and affecting product quality, but also pose a risk of infecting post-harvest produce, resulting in post-harvest losses. In addition to causing severe economic losses, the fungal infections produced by some fungi (such as aflatoxin B1) can remain in food, posing a serious threat to human health. Statistics show that 25-50% of stored agricultural products worldwide are infected by fungi annually, resulting in storage losses of up to 30%.
[0003] Currently, chemical fungicides are the most common means of addressing this problem, effectively inhibiting or killing pathogens and achieving good control effects. However, chemical fungicides also have many drawbacks: most chemical fungicides enter the environment, pollute water bodies, threaten the survival of other organisms, and affect the ecological balance; at the same time, the mechanism of action of chemical pesticides is fixed, making it easy for pathogens to develop resistance; in addition, most chemical fungicides are harmful to humans and animals, and when used on agricultural products, they accumulate during the vegetative growth process of plants, eventually leading to chemical pesticide residues in agricultural products, which may cause serious consequences such as cancer, birth defects, or even death.
[0004] Currently, a variety of new methods have been developed to inhibit the growth of plant pathogenic fungi. Biopesticides are a promising type of green pesticide, and spore-forming Bacillus bacteria may be one of the most effective biological fungicides for plant protection.
[0005] Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ( Bacillus amyloliquefaciens As a typical rhizosphere growth-promoting bacterium, *Bacillus amyloliquefaciens* possesses broad application potential in the field of plant disease biological control due to its strong ability to synthesize antimicrobial secondary metabolites. Lipopeptides are key metabolites for its biocontrol effect. In biocontrol applications, *Bacillus amyloliquefaciens* must first colonize the host plant before initiating the synthesis and secretion of lipopeptides. Its biocontrol efficacy mainly depends on the spatiotemporal synthesis dynamics of secondary metabolites and is limited by complex transport regulatory networks and environmental factors. This leads to significant fluctuations in the synthesis efficiency of antimicrobial lipopeptides and a lack of timeliness, thus restricting its practical application in agricultural production. Summary of the Invention

[0103] Example 1 In this embodiment, a mutant strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens M86, which produces high levels of bacillus L, was obtained through ARTP mutagenesis and breeding. The strain's accession number is CGMCC No. 34810. Furthermore, the controlled, directed synthesis of bacillus L was achieved using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens M86, resulting in high-yield production of bacillus L.
[0104] Meanwhile, the characteristics of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens M86 were studied in greater depth.
[0105] I. Obtain the mutant strain M86 that produces high levels of bacillus styrax L.
[0106] Existing research on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 1841 has shown that it possesses a unique methylation modification system. This characteristic poses a significant challenge to enhancing the antibacterial activity of 1841 through gene editing. Therefore, this invention uses Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 1841 as the original starting strain for ARTP mutagenesis and uses Botrytis cinerea as an indicator strain to screen for mutant strains with enhanced resistance to Botrytis cinerea, aiming to obtain mutant strains with enhanced antibacterial activity.
[0107] 1. ARTP mutagenesis and mutant screening: Through ARTP mutagenesis and selection, this invention obtained a total of 60 strains that survived the mutagenesis treatment. Among them, 16 mutant strains (M58, M65, M68, M77, M78, M85, M86, M94, M96, M100, M111, M112, M113, M115, M116, M117) showed significantly enhanced antagonistic activity against Botrytis cinerea. Figure 1 .
[0108] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the inhibition zone diameter of mutant strain M86 reached 38.22 mm, which was significantly higher than that of the other 15 mutant strains.
[0109] 2. Analysis of the genetic stability and growth characteristics of mutant strain M86: Subculture experiments were conducted on M86, and gray mold antagonism experiments were performed on M86 from the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, and 40th generations. The results showed that with increasing subculture number, the gray mold resistance of M86 gradually increased and tended to stabilize. Figure 2 It is evident that M86 is a strain with high antibacterial activity and genetic stability.
[0110] Furthermore, the growth of the mutant strain M86 was examined, see... Figure 3 The cellular energy metabolism capacity of strains M86 and 1841 at different growth stages was detected. The energy metabolism level of the strains was analyzed by detecting changes in heat during bacterial growth. (See attached document). Figure 4 .
[0111] Depend on Figure 3It can be seen that the growth rate of M86 is significantly higher than that of the original strain 1841. At 12 hours of fermentation, the absorbance of M86 cells is significantly higher than that of 1841, and there is a significant difference between the two (P<0.05). Between 12 and 36 hours of fermentation, M86 rapidly enters the stationary phase, while the growth of the original strain 1841 is relatively slow. This indicates that M86 is a rapidly growing and highly active strain. Figure 4 It can be seen that M86 exhibits higher energy metabolism activity than the original strain 1841 during growth. Under the same growth conditions, M86 reaches its peak energy metabolism (70 μM) after 11 hours of growth, while the peak energy metabolism of the original strain 1841 is only 45 μM, and it takes 12 hours to reach its peak. Compared with 1841, M86 has a significantly stronger energy metabolism capacity, indicating that it has higher metabolic activity during growth.
[0112] 3. Analysis of M86 mutation characteristics and their functional impact based on whole-genome resequencing To further analyze the mutational characteristics of M86, this invention resequencing its genome. Genomic DNA was extracted from M86, a sequencing library was constructed, and high-quality sequencing data was obtained using next-generation sequencing technology. Figure 5 Simultaneously, a genomic library with an insert length of 300 bp was constructed, referencing... Figure 6 , Figure 7 Using the complete genome sequence of the original strain 1841 as a reference (the genome accession number for the original strain 1841 is NCBI Submission accession (SUB14919781)), a comprehensive analysis of the genomic mutation sites of M86 was performed. Figure 8 .
[0113] Depend on Figure 8 It is known that ARTP-induced mutations are concentrated on adenine (A) and thymine (T) bases, and the main mutation type is point mutation (SNP). SNP mutation spectrum analysis revealed that the main SNP mutation types are T:A>C:G and C:G>T:A. Figure 9 Furthermore, insertion / deletion (INDEL) length analysis showed that single-base insertions were the predominant INDEL type. (See reference...) Figure 10 .
[0114] SNP mutation analysis: A total of 12 SNP mutation sites were detected in the M86 genome, all located in protein-coding regions. SNP mutations in 3 genes (GEO0859, GEO1366, and GEO3080) were silent mutations, while SNP mutations in 9 genes were nonsynonymous mutations, leading to changes in protein structure. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 11 And Table 1. Arginine (R) at position 111 of YplP is mutated to cysteine (C); proline (P) at position 270 of XkdE is mutated to serine (S); asparagine (N) at position 402 of GutR is mutated to aspartic acid (D); valine (V) at position 109 of YdzE is mutated to phenylalanine (F); leucine (L) at position 35 of GE01829 is mutated to glutamine (Q); glutamine (Q) at position 93 of GE02348 is mutated to glutamic acid (E); proline (P) at position 303 of GE03080 is mutated to threonine (T); aspartic acid (D) at position 91 of YqeW is mutated to glycine (G); glycine (G) at position 122 of YqgH is mutated to glutamic acid (E).
[0115] Table 1: SNP mutation site information for M86
[0116] INDEL mutation analysis: Nine single-base insertion sites were detected in the M86 genome, four of which were located upstream and downstream of gene clusters and may regulate gene transcription. (Reference) Figure 11 Table 2.
[0117] Specifically, the insertion sites are as follows: At site 312941 (T-TC), an insertion occurs upstream of the GEO00285, yoaW, yndM, and GEO00288 gene clusters. At site 814535 (T-TC), an insertion occurs upstream of the ykvZ, GE00683, and ykvY gene clusters. At site 1862323 (A-AC), an insertion occurs downstream of the ycgO and ycgN gene clusters. At site 2434315 (C-CT), an insertion occurs downstream of the yxjB and ycgN gene clusters. Furthermore, five insertion sites are located within the coding sequence (CDS) segment, causing alterations in the protein structure of the corresponding genes, potentially affecting protein function. Specifically, an insertion at site 824120 (A-AC) alters the protein structure encoded by the ykvP gene. An insertion at site 1434230 (T-TC) alters the protein structure encoded by the cotJA gene. An insertion at position 2334423 (T-TG) resulted in a structural change in the protein encoded by the xdhA gene. An insertion at position 2544952 (C-CG) resulted in a structural change in the protein encoded by the ywfA gene. An insertion at position 3226061 (A-AG) resulted in a structural change in the protein encoded by the GE03075 gene.

[0120] Chromosomal structural variation analysis: Chromosomal structural variations were also detected in the M86 genome. Specifically, a 1218 bp gene deletion (DEL) occurred between loci 29527 and 30745. An inter-chromosomal translocation (CTX) of 41815 bp occurred between loci 1528892 and 1570707. (See reference...)

[0123] II. Study on the composition of fermentation broth of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens M86 1. Identification of active substances against gray mold in M86 and study on the antibacterial effects of its lipopeptide components Previous studies have shown that the antibacterial active substances of *Bacillus amyloliquefaciens* mainly include antibacterial proteins, short peptides, and lipopeptides. In this invention, M86 was fermented, and proteins and lipopeptides were extracted from the fermentation broth. Their activity was detected using a botrytis cinerea antagonism assay. The activity detection results of the fermentation products are referenced... Figures 12-14 .
[0124] according to Figure 12 It was found that the fermentation broth of M86 exhibited significant anti-Botrytis cinerea activity, while the protein extract showed no anti-Botrytis cinerea activity. The lipopeptide extract, however, showed significant anti-Botrytis cinerea activity, with an inhibition zone diameter reaching 33.00 mm. Furthermore, lipopeptide yield determination showed that the crude lipopeptide yield of the original strain 1841 was 484.94 mg / L, while the crude lipopeptide yield of M86 was significantly increased to 985.17 mg / L. Figure 13 These results indicate that lipopeptides are the main components of the antibacterial activity of M86.
[0125] Time-dependent analysis of lipopeptide antibacterial activity: To further investigate the antibacterial activity of lipopeptides, crude lipopeptide extracts were extracted from 1841 and M86 at different fermentation times (24h, 48h, 72h, 96h), and their antibacterial activity was analyzed by a botrytis cinerea antagonism experiment. The results are referenced. Figure 14 .
[0126] Depend on Figure 14 It was found that the antibacterial activity of the lipopeptide extracts of both 1841 and M86 significantly increased with increasing fermentation time. After 48 hours of fermentation, the anti-Botrytis cinerea activity of M86 was significantly higher than that of 1841. In addition, the diameter of the inhibition zone of M86 was 28.00 mm at 48 hours of fermentation, 35.20 mm at 72 hours, and reached 40.00 mm at 96 hours.
[0127] 2. Differential expression of lipopeptide synthesis gene clusters in M86 and their bmyDABC Significant upward adjustment This invention validated 38 genes from 8 lipopeptide synthesis-related gene clusters predicted by anti-SMASH using RT-qPCR. The results are referenced. Figures 15-24 .
[0128] Depend on Figures 15-24 It can be seen that in the mutant strain M86, Bacillomycin Synthetic gene clusters ( bmyD , bmyA , bmyB , bmyC The expression level of ) was significantly higher than that of the other 7 gene clusters, according to reference Figure 15 By analyzing different fermentation times (12h, 36h, 48h, 72h, 96h) bmyD , bmyA , bmyB , bmyC Expression level detection revealed no significant difference in the expression levels of these genes between 1841 and M86 before 36 hours, but at 48 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours, the expression levels of M86 showed a significant difference. bmyD , bmyA , bmyB , bmyC Expression levels were significantly upregulated, with the most significant difference observed at 48 hours, and the upregulation trends of the four genes were generally consistent. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 16 Furthermore, in M86, Difficidin Synthetic gene clusters ( dfnD , dfnE , dfnF , dfnG , dfnH , dfnI , dfnJ The mRNA expression level of ) was also significantly upregulated, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 17 ; Locillibactin Synthetic gene clusters ( locD , locA , locB , mycB , locC mRNA expression levels were significantly upregulated, according to reference... Figure 18 ; Bacilysin Synthetic genes bacD mRNA expression levels were significantly upregulated, reference Figure 19 ; Surfactin Synthetic gene clusters ( srfAA , srfAB , srfAC The mRNA expression level of ) was significantly upregulated, according to reference Figure 20 ; Bacillibactin Synthesis gene mRNA expression level epsC Significantly upward, reference Figure 21 ; Fengycin Synthetic gene clusters ( fenA , fenB , fenC , fenD , fenE The mRNA expression level of ) was significantly downregulated, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 22 ;and Macrolactin H synthetic gene cluster ( mLnA , mLnB , mLnC , mLnD , mLnE , mLnF , mLnG The mRNA expression level of ) was significantly downregulated, according to reference Figure 23 ; Bacillaene Synthetic gene clusters ( baeJ , baeL , baeM , baeN , baeR The mRNA expression level of ) was significantly downregulated, according to reference Figure 24 .
[0129] In summary, the transcriptional expression analysis of eight lipopeptide synthesis gene clusters in the M86 mutant strain revealed significant differential regulatory patterns among these gene clusters during fermentation. Among them, Bacillomycin , Bacillibactin , Difficidin , Locillibactin , Surfactin and Bacilysin The synthetic gene clusters initiated transcription at 48 hours of fermentation, and the transcriptional expression level was significantly higher than that of the original strain 1841. Conversely, Macrolactin H, Fengycin and Bacillaene The transcription of the synthetic gene clusters was significantly suppressed at the same time point. Among the six gene clusters that were upregulated in transcription, Bacillomycin Synthetic gene cluster genes ( bmyD , bmyA , bmyB , bmyC The expression level of ) was particularly prominent, significantly higher than other lipopeptide synthesis gene clusters. This indicates that lipopeptide compounds in M86 are mainly expressed as... bmyD , bmyA , bmyB , bmyC Gene clusters composed of four genes Bacillomycin Mainly.
[0130] Bacillomycin belong Iturin Subtypes of the family, currently reported subtypes include Bacillomycin D、 Bacillomycin F, Bacillomycin L and Bacillomycin Lc. These subtypes have highly identical synthetic gene clusters in sequence, but their biological activities may vary due to structural differences.
[0131] The above research results indicate that the lipopeptide type after ARTP mutagenesis is determined by... bmyDABC Bacitracin synthesized by gene clusters.
[0132] 3. Lipopeptide compounds in M86 were separated and purified by HPLC.
[0133] In this invention, the extracted crude M86 lipopeptide was separated and prepared, and further purified by methanol reconstitution. Acetonitrile was used as the washing solution, and the mixture was separated using an HPLC system with a Symmetry Prep™ C18 column, initially yielding three fractions: a, b, and c. Further experiments using gray mold antagonism confirmed that fraction a exhibited significant anti-gray mold activity, while fractions b and c showed no antibacterial activity. (Refer to...) Figure .
[0134] During the separation process, the concentrations of fractions a and b exceeded the upper limit of HPLC. To obtain a pure product, fraction a, which exhibited antibacterial activity, was further separated and purified to obtain fractions a1, a2, and a3. An antagonistic experiment against *Botrytis cinerea* confirmed that a2 had significant anti-*Botrytis cinerea* activity, while a1 and a3 showed no activity. (Reference) .
[0135] 4. Based on (ESI)-Q-TOF-MS parsing The molecular structure of L and the types of its homologues.
[0136] In this invention, electrospray ionization-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry ((ESI)-Q-TOF-MS) was used to analyze fraction a2, and the masses of the main compounds were found to be P4 (1021.5153 m / z), P5 (1035.5315 m / z), and P6 (1049.5473 m / z), respectively. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Among them, the mass concentrations at 1021.5153 m / z and 1035.5315 m / z are relatively high. The MS / MS fragments of the three characteristic peaks P4, P5, and P6 mainly produce b-type and y-type ions. The b-type ions of the compound at 1021.5153 m / z include b1 (340.2593 m / z), b2 (503.3219 m / z), b3 (617.3638 m / z), and b4 (704.4381 m / z), while the corresponding main y-type ion is y5 (188.0710 m / z). In addition, other major fragments were detected, including Ser-Glu (216.0806 m / z), (D-Tyr) + (D-Asn) (278.1141 m / z), Thr + C14β-NH2FA + Asn (441.3095 m / z), and (CH2)14 (184.2058 m / z). For the compound at 1035.5315 m / z, b1 (354.2751 m / z) and b2 (517.3219 m / z) ions were observed, along with other major fragments such as Ser-Glu, (D-Tyr) + (D-Asn), Thr + C15β-NH2FA + Asn (455.3218 m / z), and (CH2)15 (198.2214 m / z). In the compound at 1049.5473 m / z, the b1 (368.2907 m / z) ion and other major fragments such as Ser-Glu, (D-Tyr) + (D-Asn), Thr + C16β-NH2FA + Asn (469.8375 m / z), and (CH2)16 (212.2370 m / z) were observed. Note that the b ions of P4, P5, and P6 all differ by one CH2 (14 m / z).
[0137] In summary, fraction a2 consists of three homologues (C14- L, C15- L,C16- Composed of L, with molecular weights of 1021.5153 m / z, 1035.5315 m / z, and 1049.5473 m / z, respectively, its structure was determined by secondary mass spectrometry to be nβ-NH2FA+Asn+(D-Tyr)+(D-Asn)+Ser+Glu+(D-Ser)+Th. This is similar to bacitracin L ( The structure of L) is consistent. This invention utilizes the chimeraX software to analyze C14- L and C15- L undergoes structural reconstruction, such as As shown, C14- L and C15- The structure of the amino acid polypeptide segment of L is the same, and the amino group at the terminal Thr forms an amide bond with the hydroxyl group of the fatty acid under the action of ET enzyme, making... The seven amino acids form a cyclic peptide structure, while C14- L and C15- L is separated from the fatty acid chain by a methyl group, C14- L is formed from 14 carbon atoms to form a straight-chain fatty acid, while C15- L is also a straight-chain fatty acid formed by 14 carbon atoms, but the hydrogen ion at its third carbon position is replaced by CH2, forming a C15 fatty acid with a trans fatty acid structure. From the above results, it can be seen that the fatty acid length of lipopeptides is the main factor in enhancing their function; long-chain and branched-chain fatty acids can improve the lipophilicity of lipopeptides and enhance their binding force to cell membranes.
[0138] During the two-stage separation and preparation of M86 lipopeptides, the remaining fractions showed no antibacterial activity. The a2 fraction, which exhibited antibacterial activity, was identified by mass spectrometry as bacitracin L (…). Mass spectrometry analysis of the crude lipopeptide extracts of 1841 and M86 showed that the crude lipopeptides of 1841 and M86 had a larger proportion of 1021.5153 m / z and 1035.5315 m / z values, respectively. Furthermore, the detection signal of bacitracin L in M86 was significantly stronger than that in 1841. Meanwhile, we captured and resolved other ion fragments of 1841 and M86, and found that, except for 1021.5153 m / z, 1035.5315 m / z, and 1049.5473 m / z, small amounts of C were present in 1841 and M86. 11 - (979.4711 m / z), C 12- L (993.4832 m / z), C13- L (1007.5004 m / z). Secondary mass spectrometry resolved C. 11 - L, C 12 - L, C13- L-ion fragments, with C 14 - L, C 15 - L, C 16 - The b ions of L are all different by one -CH2- (14 m / z).
[0139] In summary, the antimicrobial lipopeptides in M86 are... L can be synthesized into 6 types in M86. L homologues, namely C 11 - L, C 12 - L, C 13 - L, C 14 L, C 15 - L, C 16 - L. Where C 14 - L and C 15 - L was synthesized in the largest quantity, C 16 - L is next, and C is next. 11 - L, C 12 - L, C 13 - The amount of L synthesized is relatively small. Additionally, C in M86... 14 - L, C 15 - L, C 16 - The amount of L synthesized was significantly higher than that in 1841, and C 16 - The amount of L synthesized was significantly increased compared to 1841. This was achieved by analyzing the synthesis of L in 1841 and M86. L yield was measured, and it was found that M86 contained... The yield of L was 423.33 mg / L, compared to 244.22 mg / L in 1841. The yield of L increased by approximately 1.73 times. In the fermentation broth of M86, L accounts for approximately 57.78% of crude lipopeptides.
[0140] III. Adjustable directional synthesis of bacillus L 1. Bacitracin L Synthesis Gene Cluster Targeted activation In this invention, sfGFP is used as the detection probe to... The promoter is loaded into the sfGFP front promoter region to obtain P bmyD The -sfGFP plasmid was successfully transformed into M86, resulting in the M86-sfGFP strain. The fluorescence signal intensity was used to monitor... Transcriptional levels of the promoter. Based on the M86-sfGFP strain, glucose in Landy medium was replaced with different sugar sources (including glucose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose), and the sfGFP fluorescence signal intensity was detected after 48 h of fermentation. Further, gradient media with different sugar sources were set up, and the sfGFP fluorescence signal was detected at 24 h and 48 h, respectively, to explore the effects of different sugar sources and concentration gradients on promoter transcription. The effect on promoter transcriptional activity.
[0141] The effects of different glycogen sources on the transcriptional activity of the bmyD promoter, see reference. Figures 30 to 33 .
[0142] The experimental results show that glucose has no significant effect on the sfGFP fluorescence signal; the sfGFP signal increased by 1.51 times in sucrose medium; the sfGFP signal increased by 4.13 times in maltose medium; and the sfGFP signal increased by 4.96 times in lactose medium. (Reference) Figure 30 .
[0143] Concentration gradient experiments showed that glucose and sucrose activated the sfGFP signal at low concentrations, but the signal gradually weakened with increasing concentration, exhibiting an inhibitory effect at high concentrations. (Reference) Figure 31 (A represents the sfGFP intensity in different glucose groups, and B represents the sfGFP intensity in different sucrose groups).
[0144] In contrast, maltose and lactose activated sfGFP signaling at low concentrations at 24 h, but the activation effect was not significant at high concentrations, and the signal intensity difference between high and low concentrations was small. As the cells grew to 48 h, both high concentrations of maltose and lactose significantly activated sfGFP signaling (see...). Figure 32(A represents the sfGFP intensity in different maltose concentrations, and B represents the sfGFP intensity in different lactose concentrations). Specifically, the sfGFP signal gradually increases in the 1.25-10 g / L concentration range of maltose, and gradually decreases in the 10-30 g / L concentration range; the sfGFP signal gradually increases in the 1.25-20 g / L concentration range of lactose, and gradually decreases in the 25-30 g / L concentration range.
[0145] Furthermore, when maltose and lactose are added together with glucose, although maltose and lactose can activate sfGFP signaling, the presence of glucose significantly inhibits sfGFP signaling. The inhibitory effect becomes more pronounced with increasing glucose concentration. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 33 (A represents the sfGFP intensity after mixing maltose with different glucose concentrations, and B represents the sfGFP intensity after mixing lactose with different glucose concentrations).
[0146] Based on the above findings, further investigation was conducted on the effects of different sugar source culture media on... Bacillomycin The impact of L production, and the results of the investigation are referenced. Figure 34 .
[0147] Depend on Figure 34 It can be seen that in a 10 g / L glucose medium, Bacillomycin The yield was 366.86 mg / L in Lactose medium; 786.56 mg / L in 10 g / L maltose medium; and 1177.44 mg / L in 10 g / L lactose medium. When lactose was used as the sugar source, Bacillomycin L production increased significantly, reaching 2.84 times that of glucose medium.
[0148] Based on the above findings, in this invention, using 1.25~20 g / L lactose as a carbon source can significantly promote... Bacillomycin The transcription and translation of L-synthetic gene clusters are significantly improved. Bacillomycin The production of L.
[0149] Different ion pairs bmyD The influence of promoters.
[0150] Fermentation experiments were conducted in Landy medium with the addition of 0.5 g / L of K₂HPO₄, KH₂PO₄, K₃PO₄, CaSO₄, MgSO₄, MgCl₂, KCl, Fe₂SO₄, CuSO₄, and MnSO₄, respectively. The results showed that K₂HPO₄, KH₂PO₄, K₃PO₄, CaSO₄, and MgSO₄ significantly enhanced the sfGFP signal, with K₂HPO₄ showing the most significant enhancement, reaching 2.05-fold. (Reference) Figure 35Further investigation was conducted into the effect of different concentration gradients of K2HPO4 on the sfGFP signal. The results showed that the sfGFP signal was highest at a concentration of 0.5 g / L, and gradually weakened with increasing K2HPO4 concentration. (Reference) Figure 36 Meanwhile, different concentrations of K2HPO4 have different effects on... Bacillomycin Experiments on the effect of L on yield showed that within a concentration gradient of 0–1.5 g / L, Bacillomycin L production gradually increased, with a 1.5-fold increase at a concentration of 0.5 g / L and a 2.5-fold increase at a concentration of 1.5 g / L. However, as the K₂HPO₄ concentration continued to increase, Bacillomycin L production declined significantly, reference Figure 37 .
[0151] Based on the above findings, in this invention, 0-1.5 g / L K₂HPO₄ is considered as an additive to the culture medium to promote... Bacillomycin L production.
[0152] Different amino acids bmyD The influence of promoters.
[0153] In this invention, the effects of different amino acids on the sfGFP fluorescence signal were also screened, including aspartic acid (Asp), glycine (Gly), threonine (Thr), asparagine (Asn), phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr), serine (Ser), valine (Val), tryptophan (Trp), glutamic acid (Glu), leucine (Leu), and proline (Pro). The results are shown in […]. Figure 38 .
[0154] Depend on Figure 38 It can be seen that 0.5 g / L of Gly inhibited the sfGFP fluorescence signal, while other amino acids had no significant effect on the sfGFP signal.
[0155] Further investigation was conducted into the effects of different concentration gradients of Gly on the sfGFP signal. The results are shown in [the table below]. Figure 39 .
[0156] Depend on Figure 39 It can be seen that when the Gly concentration is between 0 and 2.5 g / L, the sfGFP fluorescence signal increases with increasing concentration, and reaches the highest signal intensity at 2.5 g / L; when the Gly concentration increases further, the sfGFP signal weakens.
[0157] Meanwhile, different concentrations of Gly Bacillomycin Experiments on the effect of Gly on L production showed that, within the concentration range of 0–3.0 g / L, as the Gly concentration increased, Bacillomycin L production gradually increased at a concentration of 3.0 g / L Lly. BacillomycinL-yield reached 650 mg / L, representing a 1.78-fold increase compared to the unadded Gly, according to reference... Figure 40 .
[0158] Based on the above findings, this invention uses a concentration of 0~3.0 g / L. Gly As an additive to the culture medium to promote Bacillomycin L production Orthogonal experimental design and optimization.
[0159] Based on the previously screened exogenous regulatory elements (lactose, K2HPO4, and glycine) and their different concentration gradients, bmyD To investigate the regulatory role of the promoter, this invention uses Landy medium as the base and designs a three-factor, four-level orthogonal experimental scheme with lactose (5 g / L, 10 g / L, 15 g / L, 20 g / L), K₂HPO₄ (0.25 g / L, 0.75 g / L, 1.25 g / L, 1.75 g / L), and Gly (2.0 g / L, 3 g / L, 4 g / L, 5 g / L) as variables, as shown in Table 4. Sixteen combinations were set up, with three parallel experiments for each combination to ensure data reliability.
[0160] Sixteen culture media were prepared using an orthogonal experimental design. After fermentation on a shaker for 48 hours, the sfGFP probe signal intensity of each group was detected and statistically analyzed. The experimental results showed that the optimal ratio of exogenous regulatory elements for activating sfGFP was 5 g / L lactose, 3 g / L glycine, and 0.75 g / L K2HPO4 (see Table 4).

[0170] The aforementioned experiments, using sfGFP as a detection probe, confirmed that BDSM medium can significantly activate... Bacillomycin The transcription and translation of the L-synthetic gene cluster, thereby providing... Bacillomycin The synthesis of L provides a sufficient complex of polyketide synthase and non-ribosomal peptide synthase. However, in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens... Whether L-type synthetic substrates can meet the synthesis requirements, and the specific types of synthetic substrates, are still unclear, although it is known that... The structure of L consists of fatty acids and amino acids, and contains C. 12 - 16 Six homologues were identified, but the types of their starting fatty acids remain unclear. Through analysis of... The analysis and prediction of the L-synthetic gene cluster suggest that fatty acids are the initiating substrates for the AT domain. Therefore, this invention uses fatty acid metabolomics analysis to elucidate the components involved in... The types of fatty acids synthesized by L.
[0171] Fatty acid metabolomics analysis: In this invention, fatty acids of strain M86 at different growth stages (12h, 24h, 48h, 72h) were extracted and measured. PCA analysis confirmed that there were differences in fatty acids in M86 cells at different fermentation times. A total of 48 fatty acids, including medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids, were detected in M86.
[0172] refer to The contents of the five fatty acids (C10-O, C12-O, C14-O, C15-O, and C18-1n9c) varied significantly among different samples, and were related to... L yield showed a negative correlation. Myristic acid content was the highest, at 20.94 mg / g at 12h, 8.20 mg / g at 24h, 12.59 mg / g at 48h, and 23.67 mg / g at 72h. Myristic acid content gradually decreased from 12 to 24h, while gradually increasing from 24 to 72h. Pentadecanoic acid and oleic acid showed similar trends. Pentadecanoic acid content was 8.35 mg / g at 12h, 3.89 mg / g at 24h, 2.83 mg / g at 48h, and 3.13 mg / g at 72h. Oleic acid content was 7.51 mg / g at 12h, 2.76 mg / g at 24h, 2.52 mg / g at 48h, and 2.33 mg / g at 72h. Both pentadecanoic acid and oleic acid content gradually decreased with cell growth. While capric acid and lauric acid showed the same variation trend as pentadecanoic acid and oleic acid, their content in M86 was extremely low. Specifically, capric acid levels were 0.69 mg / g at 12h, 0.23 mg / g at 24h, 0.21 mg / g at 48h, and 0.23 mg / g at 72h; lauric acid levels were 1.96 mg / g at 12h, 0.56 mg / g at 24h, 0.59 mg / g at 48h, and 0.64 mg / g at 72h. This indicates that the changes in the content of these fatty acids have a significant impact on… The synthesis of L has a significant impact.
[0173] Validation of fatty acids as synthesis starting materials: Based on the above metabolomics results, the inventors of this invention hypothesize that C10-O, C12-O, C14-O, C15-O, and C18-1n9c may be... The starting fatty acid for L-synthesis.
[0174] To further confirm this prediction, this invention added 0.5 g / L of C10-0, C12-0, C14-0, C15-0, and C18-1n9c to Landy medium for fermentation experiments. The results were investigated as follows: , .
[0175] Depend on It can be seen that after adding C14-0 L production increased by 1.83 times after adding C15-0. L production increased by 1.64 times; It can be seen that C14- L and C15- The L content was significantly higher in Landy medium than in Landy medium. However, after adding lauric acid, lauric acid, and oleic acid... L production decreased significantly, reference This confirms that C14-0 and C15-0 are... Starting materials for the synthesis of L.
[0176] Optimization of fatty acid synthesis precursors.
[0177] As demonstrated in the aforementioned experiments, C14-0 and C15-0 have poor solubility in the culture medium and tend to precipitate after sterilization, which limits their application in fermentation processes. Valine, isoleucine, and leucine can regulate fatty acid synthesis and oxidation through their metabolites and signaling pathways. The roles of these branched-chain amino acids in lipid metabolism depend not only on their direct metabolites but also on their influence on fatty acid synthesis and breakdown through complex signaling pathways.
[0178] Therefore, this invention further investigates how adding fatty acid synthesis precursors (Val, Ile, Leu) can promote fatty acid synthesis in strain M86, thereby indirectly improving... The yield of L, the results of which can be found in [the table]. .
[0179] Depend on It can be seen that after adding 0.5 g / L of Val, L-carboxylic acid (L-carboxylic acid) production increased by 1.22 times, while leucine and isoleucine had no significant effect on increasing production. Therefore, valine was identified as the main additive to promote fatty acid synthesis.
[0180] according to -SMASH A detailed analysis of the L-synthetic gene cluster revealed that its synthesis process uses fatty acids as starting materials and amino acids as substrates. The PKS-NRPS complex synthesizes lipopeptides using starters and substrates. Preliminary investigations indicate that C... 14 and C 15 Fatty acids are The synthesis of L can be promoted by adding the branched-chain fatty acid precursor Val, but the yield increase is limited, which may be related to the lack of amino acid substrate.
[0181] Identification and optimization of amino acid substrates: Through domain prediction of the PKS-NRPS complex, it was found that... During the synthesis of L Responsible for binding asparagine (Asn). BmyC is responsible for assembling tyrosine (Tyr), asparagine (Asn), serine (Ser), and glutamate (Glu), with Tyr and Asn forming D-Tyr and D-Asn during the transformation process; BmyC is responsible for assembling Ser and threonine (Thr), with Ser forming D-Ser under the influence of the E domain. Therefore, it is speculated that Thr, Asn, Ser, Glu, and Tyr are... Key substrates for L-amino acid chain synthesis.
[0182] Substrate feeding experiments showed that adding Thr, Asn, Ser, Glu, or Tyr alone had an effect on... L yield had no significant impact, but when added in a 2:1:2:1:1 ratio (Asn:Tyr:Ser:Glu:Thr), L production increased by 1.3 times, reference (A). Furthermore, adding D-Ser and D-Asn in the D-(5+) form increased yield by 0.84 times; while adding them in the L-(5+) form increased yield by 1.34 times. (Ref.) (B). This indicates that the simultaneous presence of Asn, Tyr, Ser, Glu, and Thr can significantly promote [the effect]. Synthesis of L.
[0183] Co-optimization of starter and substrate: Based on the aforementioned findings, this invention involves mixing and adding the synthetic starting material (valine, Val) with the amino acid substrate (Asn:Tyr:Ser:Glu:Thr, abbreviated as (5+)).
[0184] The results showed that after co-addition of Val and (5+), L production increased by 1.49 times, a 22.13% increase compared to adding Val alone, and a 14.62% increase compared to adding (5+) alone. (Reference) (C).
[0185] Further optimization of the addition ratio of Val and (5+) revealed that when added at a ratio of 7:1, L production reached optimal reference (D).
[0186] Based on this, a "BDSM+Val+(5+)" medium was developed. Compared with BDSM medium, the BDSM+Val+(5+) medium has... L-yield reached 1992.51 mg / L, an increase of 1.48 times compared to 1349.01 mg / L, according to reference. (E). In the optimized culture medium, C 15 - L and C 16 - The content of L increased significantly, especially with the achievement of high yields of C. 16 - L, reference (F).

To further determine the regulatory regions of these 10 transcription factors, this invention uses plasmids of the ten transcription factors lexA, ccpA, GEO3564, yhiH, ytrA, comK, spoOJ, yqeW, yqgH, and ccpB as templates to construct truncated plasmids. Promoter regions (216 bp, 116 bp, 65 bp) were extracted and transformed into *E. coli* BL21. The interaction between transcription factors and different truncations was investigated using IPTG induction. The binding sites of transcription factors to promoter regions were investigated, and the intensity of sfGFP signal was used as a detection indicator.
