Description

Method for synthesizing L-alanine by catalyzing maleic acid through double-enzyme coupling whole cells

Technical Field

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing L-alanine by catalyzing maleic acid through double-enzyme coupling whole cells, belonging to the field of bioengineering.

Background

L-Alanine (L-Alanine, L-Ala) is one of the smallest chiral molecules. It has wide application and great market development potential in the fields of food, medicine, chemical industry and the like. The flavoring agent is mainly used for biochemical research, tissue culture, liver function measurement and flavoring agent, can increase the flavoring effect of the flavoring agent, and can also be used as sour taste correcting agent to improve the sour taste of organic acid.

The current industrial methods for preparing L-alanine are mainly chemical synthesis and biological methods. In the chemical synthesis production, a propionic acid chlorination method is a common idea for synthesizing L-alanine, but the method has the defects of poor product quality, long synthesis route, low yield, high cost, serious environmental pollution and the like, and is not suitable for industrial production.

The biological method for preparing L-alanine becomes a commonly used method in industry; the biological method mainly comprises a catalytic method and a fermentation method, wherein the fermentation method mainly adopts glucose as a raw material for anaerobic fermentation production, and then the L-alanine product is obtained through separation and purification. The process has the advantages of cheap and easily-obtained raw materials, simple flow, difficult extraction, no enzymatic catalysis, strong stereoselectivity and the like. Compared with the prior art, the whole-cell catalytic conversion method has the advantages of strong stereoselectivity, high conversion rate, mild reaction conditions, small environmental pollution and the like, and the one-pot multi-enzyme cascade catalysis does not need the separation and purification of enzyme and the separation and purification of intermediate products, is convenient for the recovery and the reutilization of cells, and greatly reduces the cost, so the one-pot whole-cell catalytic conversion method has better application prospect.

However, in the prior art, the whole cell transformation and synthesis of L-alanine has the technical problems of high cost and complex process, for example, as described in the Chinese patent application publication No. CN109456928A, the recombinant Escherichia coli is constructed to obtain an L-aspartate beta-decarboxylase strain with high enzyme activity, the recombinant strain is subjected to shake flask fermentation, and the L-Asp-Na is used as a substrate to perform whole cell catalytic reaction to prepare the L-alanine. Although the yield of the final product L-alanine reaches more than 94 percent, the method adopts aspartic acid as a substrate, and the aspartic acid is expensive and is not beneficial to large-scale industrial production. Although the fermentation method is low in cost, the process operation is complex and long in time consumption, for example, the Chinese patent application publication No. CN109355242A describes that the yield of L-alanine prepared by adopting the glucose fermentation method reaches 171.0g/L after 55 hours of fermentation, two stages of fermentation are required in the fermentation process, and the fermentation process is relatively complex.

Therefore, finding a low-cost substrate and a genetically engineered bacterium capable of preparing L-alanine by adopting the low-cost substrate reaction become research hotspots and difficulties.
