The present application relates to the field of microorganisms and
genetic engineering, and specifically discloses an
Escherichia coli
engineering bacterium for efficiently producing plastic depolymerase and application thereof. The present application uses
Escherichia coli as a host, and through synergistic optimization of multiple key dimensions such as
signal peptide,
promoter,
solubility-promoting tag and co-expression of molecular chaperones, a multi-dimensional
engineering system for efficiently expressing plastic depolymerase is constructed. The construction method provided by the present application includes a
rational design and a screening strategy for combination and
assembly of the multiple elements. The
engineering bacterium can realize
extracellular high-level expression of plastic depolymerase during induced
fermentation, and the
enzyme preparation prepared can be directly used for catalyzing efficient
depolymerization of
polyester plastics. The present application provides an
Escherichia coli cell factory with stable high yield for industrialization and low-cost production of plastic depolymerase, and has important industrial application prospects for promoting large-scale biological degradation and resource recycling of waste plastics.
