本发明涉及生产L-缬氨酸的重组微生物的构建方法,所述构建方法获得的重组微生物,具体是重组大肠杆菌,以及通过发酵法生产L-缬氨酸的方法。
背景技术
L-缬氨酸作为三大支链氨基酸(Branched-chain amino acid,BCAA)的一种,属于必需氨基酸,在人和动物中不能合成,只能通过从外界补充获得。目前,L-缬氨酸被广泛用于食品和医药领域,主要包括食品添加剂、营养增补液及风味剂等;广泛用于化妆品制备、以及用作抗生素或者除草剂前体等;另外,随着对饲料质量和配比需求的提高,在未来L-缬氨酸在饲料添加剂行业中的作用将越来越重要,需求量会越来越大,未来市场具有极大的潜力。微生物细胞可以直接合成L-缬氨酸,但胞内大量反馈抑制等调控网络极大地限制了野生细胞的生产能力。要想获得能够高效生产L-缬氨酸的发酵菌株,必须有效解除微生物细胞这些自我调节机制。目前,世界范围内L-缬氨酸主要通过发酵法生产获得。用于发酵的生产菌株多通过诱变而来,出发菌株主要包括谷氨酸棒杆菌、黄色短杆菌、黄色短杆菌等。陈宁等以黄色短杆菌为出发菌株,使用原生质体紫外诱变并结合DES化学诱变的策略,筛选获得了一株L-缬氨酸高产菌TV2564。但是,传统诱变获得的菌株具有很强的随机性,并且遗传背景不清晰,副产物多,并且不容易进一步通过改造获得更加高产的菌株。
近年来,随着合成生物学和代谢工程的迅速发展,通过遗传改造获得能够高效生产L-缬氨酸、遗传背景清晰、且易于培养的重组工程菌株应运而生并取得了很好的效果。Sang Yup Lee课题组2007年从大肠杆菌W3110出发,结合理性代谢工程、转录组分析和遗传改造、以及基因敲除等手段获得了一株能够生产L-缬氨酸的工程菌。该菌株在好氧条件下批式培养(batch culture)可以生产缬氨酸但其培养过程中需要持续通氧,且需添加L-异亮氨酸方能保证细胞正常生长。
谢希贤等整合枯草芽孢杆菌乙酰乳酸合酶的编码基因alsS,解除了L-缬氨酸对合成通路的反馈抑制,同时整合大肠杆菌ppGpp3’-焦磷酸水解酶的突变基因spo TM,增强了丙酮酸供应,增强了出发菌株VHY03的摇瓶发酵生产L-缬氨酸的水平。
目前公开报道的L-缬氨酸发酵生产多是通过好氧或者两步法发酵实现的。但是好氧工艺在生产过程中需要用空气,能耗很大;更关键的是,有相当一部分碳源进入三羧酸循环(TCA)从而被用于细胞生长,导致转化率比理论最大值要低很多。厌氧工艺和好氧相比,具有低能耗、高转化率的优点,生产过程中不需要通空气,大大节约能耗;产品的转化率通常接近理论最大值。氨基酸生产的厌氧发酵最早是在丙氨酸生产过程中实现的,目前其他氨基酸的生产暂未有纯厌氧发酵工艺的报道。此外,目前工程菌改造过程中关键基因的过表达都是通过在质粒上实现的,这就导致发酵过程中需要添加抗生素维持质粒存在,增加了生产成本并存 在在产业化生产中质粒丢失的风险。
因此,本领域仍需要提供稳定、高产、节能、简便的生产L-缬氨酸的重组微生物以及相应的L-缬氨酸的生产制备方法。
