Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial biotechnology, specifically relating to a CJ1361 mutant of Campylobacter jejuni phosphate transaminase and its application in the fermentation synthesis of serine. Background Technology

[0002] Serine alcohol, also known as 2-amino-1,3-propanediol, is an amino alcohol and a key intermediate in the synthesis of the nonionic contrast agent iopamidol. Currently, chemical synthesis of serine alcohol is the main method for large-scale production. Most amino alcohols or their precursors are derived from petrochemical or highly explosive reaction reagents. Common precursors include 2-nitro-1,3-propanediol, nitromethane, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), dihydroxyacetone oxime, or 5-amino-1,3-dioxane. However, these chemical synthesis processes exhibit some drawbacks, such as low yields, the formation of hazardous byproducts, or the use of fossil fuels as raw materials. The high cost of some reactants and required equipment makes industrial applications unsatisfactory. Furthermore, some chemical synthesis processes produce 1-amino-2,3-propanediol, which is difficult to separate from serine alcohol, increasing the difficulty of post-processing. Compared with traditional chemical methods, biosynthesis offers advantages such as milder reaction conditions, better selectivity, simpler post-processing, and environmental friendliness. Therefore, research on non-natural biosynthesis technology of serine is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
