The present invention belongs to the fields of
genetic engineering and microbial technology, and specifically relates to the use of split genes in regulating
threonine synthesis,
cell morphology, and growth. Experiments have demonstrated that regulating the expression intensity of split genes through biological elements can affect
threonine synthesis,
cell morphology, and growth of target microorganisms. For example, when
ftsZ expression is too strong, it has little effect on microbial
cell growth and
threonine production, and may even be detrimental to threonine production. However, when
ftsZ expression is relatively weak, it is beneficial to the accumulation of
cell biomass and promotes threonine synthesis. Therefore, by regulating the expression intensity of the split genes, dynamic regulation of threonine production by
bacterial strain fermentation is achieved, which is not only beneficial for actual production but also can be used as a model strain for research on the mechanism of threonine synthesis,
cell morphology, and growth, thus having excellent practical application value.
