AI Technical Summary
The application of Rhodopseudomonas spp. in high-salt environments is limited. Overexpression of IbpA may affect photosynthetic carbon fixation efficiency and the balance of target product synthesis. Furthermore, the lack of precise regulation of stress resistance leads to poor performance in the treatment of high-salt wastewater.
We constructed an antibiotic-tag-free, salt-tolerant Rhodotorula glomerulosa engineered bacterium by replacing the promoter of the IbpA gene with the lactose promoter Plac, thereby achieving controllable and regulated IbpA expression, enhancing cellular stress resistance, and avoiding delayed stress response.
It significantly improved the ability of Rhodopsylum commune to treat ammonia nitrogen, phosphate and acetate in high-salt wastewater, and enhanced its application potential in industrial wastewater purification, saline-alkali land ecological restoration and seawater recycling in coastal areas.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an antibiotic-label-inducible salt-tolerant Rhodotorula glutinis engineered strain and its application, belonging to the field of microbial technology. Background Technology
[0002] Rhodopsylloides ( Rhodobacter sphaeroides It is a purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacterium that possesses the abilities of photosynthetic carbon fixation, hydrogen production, organic matter degradation, and synthesis of high-value-added products (such as coenzyme Q). 10 Its ability to metabolize carotenoids and other substances has significant application value in environmental remediation, bioenergy, and biomanufacturing. However, its application and promotion face serious challenges: natural strains have poor salt tolerance and are difficult to adapt to high-salt environments (such as seawater culture media and high-salt wastewater), which limits its application scenarios.
[0003] To address the poor stress resistance of Rhodotorula glomeratus and further expand its application scenarios, Chinese patent document CN116926097A (application number CN202310685601.X) discloses the application of the small-molecule heat shock protein IbpA in improving the environmental tolerance of host bacteria. By overexpressing the small-molecule heat shock protein IbpA in host bacteria, the recombinant bacteria obtained show significantly increased resistance under different stress conditions, enhancing the survival ability of the host bacteria under various adverse environments. However, the survival and metabolic activity of the strain are easily affected by the synergistic influence of multiple complex environmental factors such as salinity and substrate. Although overexpression of IbpA has been proven to enhance the host bacteria's resistance to single or combined adverse conditions, whether this gene overexpression affects the photosynthetic carbon fixation efficiency, organic matter degradation pathways, and target product synthesis balance of Rhodotorula glomeratus in actual high-salinity wastewater treatment scenarios still lacks direct application data to support this.
[0004] Meanwhile, the expression level of IbpA is closely related to the survival status and function of the strain. Higher expression levels do not necessarily mean better results. Overexpression may consume a large amount of ribosomes, energy and material resources of the strain, increase the metabolic burden on cells, and inhibit the normal function of its core functions. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a suitable overexpression method and precisely regulate the expression level of IbpA.
[0005] In conclusion, whether overexpression of IbpA can truly promote the practical application of Rhodopsycetes in the treatment of high-salt wastewater still requires further experimental exploration and scenario-based verification. Summary of the Invention

Based on the crucial role of the key heat shock response protein IbpA in enhancing broad-spectrum cellular stress resistance, a synthetic biology strategy is employed, using the lactose-inducible promoter P...lac By replacing the promoter of the IbpA gene, an inducible switch for high salt concentration tolerance is established. This method achieves in-situ modification of the natural locus, enabling controllable and artificially modulated expression intensity under antibiotic-free conditions, while preserving broad-spectrum stress resistance and avoiding the lag in stress response.

[0080] △P / P Practical application of engineered bacteria in high-salinity wastewater
[0081] Pick △P respectively / P Single colonies from both engineered and wild-type bacterial plates were inoculated into shake flasks containing 50 mL of NH1 liquid medium and incubated at 30°C and 150 rpm for 72 h for rejuvenation. Subsequently, 2 mL of each of the engineered and wild-type bacterial cultures was separately inoculated into shake flasks containing ΔP. A / P The engineered bacterial culture was transferred to a shake flask containing 100 mL of NH1 liquid medium and cultured at 30℃ and 150 rpm for 24 h to prepare a seed culture. The experimental group then used the prepared ΔP... / P Engineered bacterial seed culture was inoculated at a 20% (v / v) inoculum into NH1 liquid medium supplemented with 0.5% (w / v, g / mL) lactose and cultured at 30℃ and 150 rpm for 6 h. The control group consisted of wild-type bacterial seed culture inoculated into NH1 liquid medium and cultured at 30℃ and 150 rpm for 6 h. After centrifugation, the bacterial cells were collected, washed three times with physiological saline, and resuspended in an equal volume. The resuspended bacterial solutions were then inoculated at a 10% (v / v) inoculum into artificially synthesized wastewater culture media with different NaCl concentrations and placed in a constant temperature incubator for the experiment. CH3COO in the wastewater was measured every 24 h. - PO43- and NH4 + The concentration changes were observed. The culture conditions were a constant temperature of 30℃. To simulate a real ecological environment, light (2300 Lux) was applied during the culture process, with a light cycle of 12 h in darkness followed by 12 h in light.
[0082] The above-mentioned artificially synthesized wastewater culture medium consists of: 900 mg anhydrous sodium acetate, 60 mg K₂HPO₄, 25 mg NH₄Cl, 4.5 mg MgSO₄·7H₂O, 2.0 mg KCl, 30 mg KNO₃, 20 mg CaCl₂, 100 μL of CB stock solution, 1 mL of growth factor, and deionized water to a final volume of 1 L. The artificially synthesized wastewater culture medium with different NaCl concentrations is based on the above culture medium with the addition of different mass fractions of NaCl.
[0083] like As shown, in artificially synthesized wastewater containing 3% NaCl, the experimental group CH3COO... - When the concentration was reduced from 600 mg / L to 222 mg / L, the degradation rate in the first 24 h was 15.75 ± 0.55 mg / (L·h), and the degradation rate was 63.16 ± 0.35%. After the system had run for 96 h, CH3COO - The concentration was below 125 mg / L and tended to stabilize; for the control group, under the same operating conditions, CH3COO content was lower than 125 mg / L after 24 hours of system startup. - The concentration only decreased to 328 mg / L, the degradation rate in the first 24 hours was 11.36 ± 0.62 mg / (L·h), and the degradation rate was 45.53 ± 0.17%; the results showed ΔP A / P Engineered bacteria on CH3COO in the first 24 hours - The degradation rate was 1.39 times that of the control group, indicating that the engineered bacteria could promote the degradation of CH3COO. - The removal of CH3COO was observed during the experimental run. - It exhibits higher stability in removing PO4. 3- After 24 hours of system startup, a significant difference in processing efficiency was already evident between the two groups. After 96 hours, the experimental group showed a lower PO4 content. 3- The concentration decreased from the initial 30 mg / L to 6.65 mg / L, while the control group only decreased to 19.2 mg / L, indicating a 2.16-fold increase in treatment efficiency in the experimental group compared to the control group. (From NH4) + The concentration changes show that after 96 hours of operation, NH4 + The concentration was 5 mg / L, lower than the control group's 7.5 mg / L. In summary, under 3% NaCl conditions, ΔP A / P Engineered bacteria have a stronger wastewater purification capacity than wild bacteria.
[0084] like As shown, in wastewater containing 5% NaCl, the experimental group CH3COO... - When the concentration was reduced from 600 mg / L to 312 mg / L, the degradation rate in the first 24 h was 12.00 ± 0.25 mg / (L·h), and the degradation rate was 52 ± 0.12%. After the system had run for 96 h, CH3COO - The concentration was below 215 mg / L and tended to stabilize; for the control group, under the same operating conditions, CH3COO content was lower than 215 mg / L after 24 hours of system startup. - The concentration only dropped to 435 mg / L, and the degradation rate in the first 24 hours was 6.88±0.62 mg / (L·h), with a degradation rate of 27.5±0.11%. This indicates that the degradation of pollutants by wild bacteria in wastewater containing 5% NaCl was significantly inhibited. The results showed that the experimental group exhibited significantly reduced degradation of CH3COO in the first 24 hours. - The degradation rate was 1.74 times that of the control group, indicating that the modified engineered bacteria can promote the degradation of CH3COO in high-salt wastewater. - The removal of PO4. 72 hours after system startup, the experimental group showed PO4 removal. 3- The concentration decreased from the initial 30 mg / L to 12.39 mg / L, while the control group only decreased to 22.8 mg / L, indicating that the treatment efficiency of the experimental group was 2.44 times higher than that of the control group. (From NH4) + The concentration changes show that after 96 hours of operation, NH4 + The concentration was 5.15 mg / L, lower than the control group's 8.63 mg / L. This demonstrates that even under high-salinity wastewater conditions, ΔP A / P Engineered bacteria also have a high degradation efficiency for pollutants in wastewater.
