To construct an Escherichia coli strain capable of producing riboflavin with high titer and yield.
A low copy number plasmid pLS01 containing a riboflavin operon under the control of a constitutive promoter was constructed and introduced into Escherichia coli MG1655. Subsequently, the pfkA, edd and ead genes were disrupted, and the resulting strain LS02T produced 667 mg riboflavin/l in MSY medium supplied with 10 g glucose/l in flask cultivation. In a fed-batch process, riboflavin production of the strain reached 10.4 g/l with a yield of 56.8 mg riboflavin/g glucose.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of engineered E. coli strains that can produce more than 10 g riboflavin/l in fed-batch cultivation, indicating that E. coli has potential for riboflavin production.
构建能够高产核黄素的大肠杆菌菌株。
构建了一个低拷贝质粒pLS01,其含有受组成型启动子控制的核黄素操纵子,并将其导入大肠杆菌MG1655。随后,破坏了pfkA、edd和ead基因,所得菌株LS02T在摇瓶培养中,于添加10 g/L葡萄糖的MSY培养基中产生667 mg/L核黄素。在补料分批培养过程中,该菌株的核黄素产量达到10.4 g/L,产率为56.8 mg核黄素/g葡萄糖。
据我们所知,这是关于工程化大肠杆菌菌株在补料分批培养中能够产生超过10 g/L核黄素的首次报道,表明大肠杆菌在核黄素生产方面具有潜力。
