Description

High-efficiency xylanase-expressing genetically engineered bacteria and application thereof in degradation of straw agricultural waste TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to high-efficiency xylanase-expressing genetically engineered bacteria and application thereof in degradation of straw agricultural waste. BACKGROUND

[0002] Agricultural waste, such as corn cob, sugarcane residue, cottonseed hulls and rapeseed straw, has been abandoned or burned for a long time, causing serious pollution to the environment. However, these agricultural wastes are rich in hemicellulose and have great application potential as biomass resources, and can be used to produce high-value bio-chemical products. In particular, xylan, as the main component of hemicellulose, is considered to be an ideal raw material for preparing xylooligosaccharide (XOS). Xylooligosaccharide has a wide application prospect in the fields of food, medicine, agriculture and the like as a prebiotic.

[0003] Xylanase (E.C.3.2.1.8) is a key enzyme for hydrolyzing xylan to produce xylooligosaccharide, and plays an important role in the high-value utilization of lignocellulose. Trichoderma reesei is an important strain in the field of biotechnology, and has a complete lignocellulose-degrading enzyme system. The xylanase Xyn2 (GenBank accession number: ETR98242.1) secreted by the strain has very high hydrolysis activity on xylan, and has been widely used in paper pulp biological bleaching and feed additives. The mutant Xyn2A obtained by introducing a pair of disulfide bonds (T2C / T28C) in Xyn2 significantly improves the enzyme activity and thermal stability of the enzyme at high temperature (65℃). Therefore, the large-scale production of Xyn2A and its degradation of hemicellulose in agricultural straw and saccharification process have important research significance and application value.

[0004] The lignocellulose in crop straw has a complex structure, wherein the cross-linking of lignin and the side chain modification of xylan limit the degradation efficiency of xylanase. Therefore, before the lignocellulose is hydrolyzed by using xylanase, the lignocellulose often needs to be pretreated. The pure physical method mainly adopts steam explosion method, which makes most of the xylan dissolved in the liquid, but a large amount of lignin hydrolysis products and furfural are also present in the solution, which is difficult to separate and purify and needs a large pressure vessel. The current pretreatment method is mainly the combination of physical method and chemical method. The material is often first crushed by a crusher and sieved to improve the efficiency of the subsequent chemical treatment. The chemical method mainly includes acid hydrolysis, alkali hydrolysis and hydrogen peroxide oxidation method. The acid hydrolysis makes the hemicellulose dissolved in the acid solution, which is difficult to separate from the lignin hydrolysis products, and the hydrogen peroxide method has a high cost in industrial production. Compared with the above methods, the alkali hydrolysis has a high efficiency in delignification and can deacetylate xylan, and is a more moderate and economical method, which provides an economically feasible way for the high-value utilization of straw agricultural waste.

[0077] Example 9: Leaf spraying of tomato seedlings with hydrolysis sugar solution

[0078] The hydrolysis obtained sugar solution is diluted appropriately to make the reducing sugar concentration reach 0.1 mg / mL, as a spraying sugar solution. The tomato seedlings (variety: Micro Tom) in the three-leaf stage are transplanted into 300 g of substrate soil, and the cucumber seedlings are sprayed with the sugar solution. Each seedling is sprayed with 5 mL, and spraying is performed once every 4 days, for a total of three times, with deionized water as a control. After three times of spraying, the phenotype is shown in Figure 3, and compared with the control group, the plant height, root length, aboveground fresh weight, and root fresh weight of the treatment group are increased by 34%, 52%, 49%, and 120%, respectively. The physiological indexes are shown in Figure 4, and compared with the control group, the content of root growth hormone IAA of the treatment group is increased by 40%, the leaf photosynthesis rate is increased by 80%, and the leaf intercellular carbon dioxide concentration is decreased by 11%. The protection content of the present application is not limited to the above examples. Changes and advantages that can be thought of by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application are included in the present application, and the appended claims are protected.
