To enhance γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production in recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum, metabolic engineering strategies were used to improve the supply of the GABA precursor, L-glutamate.
C. glutamicum ATCC13032 co-expressing two glutamate decarboxylase genes (gadB1 and gadB2) was constructed in a previous study Shi et al. (J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol 40:1285-1296, 2013) to synthesize GABA from endogenous L-glutamate. To improve its L-glutamate supply, new strains were constructed here. First, the odhA and pyc genes were deleted separately. Then, a gadB1-gadB2 co-expression plasmid was transferred into ΔodhA, Δpyc, and ATCC13032, resulting in recombinant strains SNW201, SNW202, and SNW200, respectively. After fermenting for 72 h, GABA production increased to 29.5 ± 1.1 and 24.9 ± 0.7 g/l in SNW201 and SNW202, respectively, which was significantly higher than that in SNW200 (19.4 ± 2.6 g/l). The GABA conversion ratios of SNW201 and SNW202 reached 0.98 and 0.96 mol/mol, respectively.
The recombinant strains SNW201 and SNW202 can be used as candidates for GABA production.
为提高重组谷氨酸棒杆菌中γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)的产量,采用代谢工程策略来改善GABA前体L-谷氨酸的供应。
在之前的一项研究中(Shi等人,《工业微生物与生物技术杂志》40:1285 - 1296,2013年)构建了共表达两个谷氨酸脱羧酶基因(gadB1和gadB2)的谷氨酸棒杆菌ATCC13032,用于从内源性L-谷氨酸合成GABA。为改善其L-谷氨酸供应,在此构建了新菌株。首先,分别缺失odhA和pyc基因。然后,将gadB1 - gadB2共表达质粒转入ΔodhA、Δpyc和ATCC13032,分别得到重组菌株SNW201、SNW202和SNW200。发酵72小时后,SNW201和SNW202中的GABA产量分别增加到29.5±1.1和24.9±0.7 g/l,显著高于SNW200(19.4±2.6 g/l)。SNW201和SNW202的GABA转化率分别达到0.98和0.96 mol/mol。
重组菌株SNW201和SNW202可作为GABA生产的候选菌株。
