AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the traditional mutagenesis breeding of xanthan gum production strains suffers from significant blindness in the mutagenesis process, long screening cycles, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the strains obtained through mutagenesis have poor genetic stability and their gum-producing capacity is prone to degradation, making it difficult to meet the high standards required for industrial production.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Xanthan gum is a natural extracellular polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas species. It possesses excellent thickening, suspending, emulsifying, and stability properties, and is widely used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, oil extraction, and cosmetics manufacturing, among other fields. It is one of the world's largest-produced and most widely used microbial polysaccharides. As the world's largest producer of xanthan gum through industrial fermentation, my country accounts for approximately 70% of global production annually, holding a core position in the global xanthan gum industry. With economic development and the continuous expansion of downstream applications, market demand for xanthan gum is showing a rapid growth trend. How to further improve xanthan gum production efficiency and optimize product quality has become a key issue in promoting the upgrading of my country's xanthan gum industry.
[0003] Currently, industrial xanthan gum producing strains are mainly obtained through traditional mutagenesis and selection. This method suffers from problems such as high randomness in the mutagenesis process, long screening cycles, and high time and labor costs. Furthermore, the resulting strains often exhibit poor genetic stability and easily degraded gum-producing capacity, making it difficult to meet the high performance standards required for industrial production. In recent years, genetic engineering technology has provided new strategies for the targeted modification of Xanthan bacillus strains. By editing and regulating key genes in the strain's genome, precise optimization of traits such as xanthan gum yield and quality can be achieved. However, existing technologies for targeted improvement of key traits such as xanthan gum color regulation and synergistic yield enhancement still have shortcomings. How to obtain colorless and high-yielding xanthan gum producing strains remains a pressing technical challenge in this field.
[0004] Therefore, targeted modification of Xanthomonas aeruginosa through genetic engineering to discover key genes regulating xanthan gum synthesis and quality is an effective way to overcome existing technological bottlenecks and upgrade the xanthan gum industry.
