The invention discloses a method for synthesizing
spermidine through a double-bacterium co-culture
system, and relates to the technical field of bioengineering. The method comprises the following steps: constructing a first strain for synthesizing and secreting
ornithine; a second strain is constructed and used for synthesizing aspartic semialdehyde and butanediamine, the second strain comprises carboxyl
spermidine dehydrogenase and carboxyl
spermidine decarboxylase, the carboxyl spermidine
dehydrogenase is a
mutant enzyme obtained by performing G13A and / or K159R
mutation on an
amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the carboxyl spermidine decarboxylase is a
mutant enzyme obtained by performing G13A and / or K159R
mutation on an
amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. The carboxyl spermidine decarboxylase is a
mutant enzyme obtained by carrying out D82E single-
point mutation on an
amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2; and co-culturing and fermenting the first strain and the second strain to synthesize spermidine. According to the present invention, the
metabolism division and the efficient
synergy can be achieved, the
metabolism load and the butanediamine
toxicity accumulation can be reduced, and the
catalytic efficiency of the key reaction and the
cofactor utilization efficiency can be improved so as to significantly improve the spermidine yield and the conversion efficiency.
