Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a Clostridium perfringens engineering strain and a construction method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Microbial manufacturing has the advantages of not relying on arable land, short production cycle, high production efficiency, etc., and is widely considered as one of the important technical paths to cope with future food and energy crises. At present, industrial microbial fermentation mainly relies on starch raw materials, and China needs to import a large amount of starch for fermentation every year, and the self-supporting capacity of raw materials is insufficient. In addition, the generation of fermentable sugar by pretreatment and enzymolysis of plant straw and other lignocellulose raw materials is also a feasible alternative path, but due to the high cost of pretreatment and the high price of cellulase, this path has not yet been realized on a large scale.

[0003] In recent years, the biosynthetic strategy of CO / CO2 as carbon source and H2 as energy has gradually attracted attention. China has abundant CO2 sources, combined with the rapid iteration of renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaic and wind power, and the cost of hydrogen production by water electrolysis continues to decline, providing a good foundation for the implementation of this strategy. At present, a typical conversion path using CO / CO2 and H2 as direct raw materials is to first convert CO / CO2 and H2 into acetic acid using acetogenic bacteria, and then use acetic acid as a carbon source to produce single-cell protein or other bio-chemicals through microbial fermentation. For example, the invention patent with publication number "CN115491395A" provides a method for producing oil through two-step fermentation, which first produces acetic acid using acetogenic bacteria, and then converts the acetic acid into unsaturated fatty acid DHA through Schizochytrium, realizing the conversion from CO / CO2 to DHA. This will provide a large amount of cheap carbon source for the production of DHA as animal feed, which has important application prospects. However, the above conversion path still has significant technical bottlenecks: the optimal growth pH of acetogenic bacteria is usually around 7, and alkali solution needs to be continuously added during fermentation to maintain a neutral environment; while in the subsequent fermentation of microorganisms such as yeast, the use of acetic acid by microorganisms will cause the pH to rise, and acid needs to be added again to neutralize it to maintain the normal growth of acetogenic bacteria. This repeated pH adjustment not only makes the operation very complex, but also introduces a large amount of inorganic salts, affecting the purity of the product and increasing the burden of post-processing. Although some natural acetogenic bacteria have certain acid tolerance and can ferment at lower pH, they often produce ethanol, butyric acid and other by-products at the same time.

[0004] Yarrowia lipolytica is a very unconventional yeast with great industrial value, which can use acetic acid as carbon source to produce yeast protein and oil, and has strong ability of oil synthesis and storage, and the oil content is much higher than that of ordinary oil-producing microorganisms (such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and oil-producing microalgae), which shows significant advantages in oil production efficiency, substrate adaptability, oil quality and industrialization potential, and has become a research and application hotspot. In addition, Candida utilis and Kluyveromyces marxianus can also use acetic acid as carbon source to produce yeast protein, which has important application value in the field of industry and biotechnology.

[0033] II. Construction of Clostridium Hungatei engineered strain adhE1MU The frozen Clostridium Hungatei DSM 13528 was activated on ice, then subcultured twice in YTF liquid medium, and cultured at 37°C until the OD 600 The OD of the bacterial liquid was between 0.35 and 0.4. 0.1 volume of 2M sucrose solution and 0.15 volume of 1.25M glycine solution were added to the bacterial liquid, and incubated at 37°C for 2h. The cell precipitate was collected by centrifugation at 10000rpm for 10min at 4°C, washed twice with SMP buffer, resuspended, and prepared into competent cells for standby use.

[0034] Electroporation (the electroporation process was operated in an anaerobic box): 200μL of the above competent cells were mixed with 4μg of the above pMTL83151-P PD -adhE1MU plasmid on ice for 1.5min; the mixture was transferred to a 2mm electroporation cup, and the electroporation parameters were set to 1.0kV, 200Ω, 50μF, and the transformation liquid was obtained.

[0035] The transformation liquid was resuspended with 5mL of YTF liquid medium, incubated at 37°C for 14h, 2.5mL of the resuspension was centrifuged, the precipitate was plated on YTF solid medium containing 5μg / mL of clarithromycin, and incubated at 37°C for about 3 days until single colonies grew. Single colonies were picked and inoculated into YTF liquid medium containing 5μg / mL of thiostrepton, and incubated at 37°C for about 36h until the bacterial liquid was turbid. The bacterial liquid was inoculated into YTF liquid medium containing 5μg / mL of thiostrepton and 3g / L of propylene glycol at a ratio of 5% volume percentage, and incubated at 37°C for 48h. The culture liquid was streaked on YTF solid medium, and incubated at 37°C for about 48h until single colonies grew.

[0036] Single colonies were picked, and the point mutation fragment was amplified by PCR reaction, using adhE1MU-test-F and adhE1MU-test-R as the primers, and the nucleotide sequences were shown in SEQ ID NO. 11-12. The amplified product was sequenced using adhE1MU-seq-F as the primer, and the nucleotide sequence was shown in SEQ ID NO. 13. Positive strains were screened, and the Clostridium Hungatei engineered strain adhE1MU was obtained.

[0037] Example 2: Enzyme activity determination of ethanol dehydrogenase AdhE1 in Clostridium Hungatei engineered strain I.

By Figure 1 It can be seen that, compared with the ADH group, the absorbance values ​​in the ADH Mutation group and the Control group remained basically unchanged. This indicates that the enzyme was inactivated in the reaction system and did not react with the substrate. That is, the ethanol dehydrogenase of the Clostridium yongdarii engineered bacteria lost its activity due to amino acid mutation.

[0045] II. Fermentation of *Clostridium yongdarii* engineered strain The engineered Clostridium yongdarii strain adhE1MU was inoculated into PETC medium and fermented using CO2 and H2 as raw materials at 37°C and pH 5.7 and 5.3, respectively. The fermentation products and their contents were detected using the same method as in step (I).

[0046] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown. By Figure 5 It can be seen that at pH 5.7 or 5.3, the final fermentation product of the engineered Clostridium yongdar is only acetic acid, with acetic acid yields of 31 g / L and 33 g / L, respectively, and no other byproducts are produced.

Among them, fresh PETC medium is continuously supplemented into the A tank to maintain the continuous fermentation of Clostridium Ijungdahlii engineering bacteria and Yarrowia lipolytica.

[0054] After fermentation stabilization, the biomass, yeast cell content (dry weight) and oil content in the Yarrowia lipolytica fermentation process are detected.
