The invention discloses an autotrophic biocatalyst for producing
indigo blue and derivatives thereof and application of the autotrophic biocatalyst, and relates to the field of bioengineering. The autotrophic biocatalyst is
synechococcus engineering bacteria, and the
synechococcus engineering bacteria are constructed by the following steps:
cloning exogenous genes into plasmids in series, introducing exogenous
gene segments on the plasmids into a
synechococcus genome through
homologous recombination, and screening to obtain a positive recombinant strain. According to the invention, a novel
engineering photosynthetic
microorganism catalyst is constructed, and an autotrophic production
system independent of an organic
carbon source is created by carrying out innovative modular
assembly on an
indigo synthesis
route and a reducing power regeneration
system dependent on phosphite. According to the method, cheap
light energy, CO2 and industrial-grade phosphite are used as main raw materials, dependence on expensive saccharides is avoided, the method has the multiple advantages of being low in
raw material cost, high in production efficiency,
environmentally friendly and the like, and a feasible industrial path is provided for large-scale and low-cost clean production of
indigo blue and derivatives of indigo blue.
