Abstract

The disclosure discloses recombinant Bacillus subtilis for synthesizing guanosine diphosphate fucose and a construction method and application thereof. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis is obtained by intensively expressing guanylate kinase and nucleotide diphosphokinase genes and expressing exogenous fucokinase and phosphate guanylyltransferase genes in a genome of Bacillus subtilis 168. According to the disclosure, a bacterial strain for synthesizing the guanosine diphosphate fucose is obtained by reconstructing the Bacillus subtilis 168, with a volume of intracellular accumulation up to 196.15 g/L. According to the disclosure, by intensively expressing the guanylate kinase and nucleotide diphosphokinase genes, and enhancing the supply of intracellular GDP-L-fucose composition cofactors, the synthesis of the guanosine diphosphate fucose is promoted. The construction method for the recombinant Bacillus subtilis of the disclosure is simple and convenient to use, thus having good application prospects.

First claim

What is claimed is:

A recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 expressing a guanylate kinase gene and a nucleotide diphosphokinase gene, wherein an exogenous fucokinase gene, and an exogenous phosphate guanylyltransferase gene are expressed in the genome of the recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168, and wherein the guanylate kinase gene and nucleotide diphosphokinase gene are expressed by substituting a P43 promoter of the recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 with promoters of the guanylate kinase gene nucleotide diphosphokinase gene from Bacillus subtilis 168.

2. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 of claim 1 , wherein the guanylate kinase gene comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4, and the nucleotide diphosphokinase gene comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5.

3. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 of claim 1 , wherein the fucokinase gene and the phosphate guanylyltransferase gene are fkp genes derived from Bacteroides fragilis.

4. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 of claim 3 , wherein the fkp gene is expressed by expression vector pP43NMK.

5. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 of claim 4 , wherein the fkp gene is ligated into expression vector pP43NMK, and the expression vector pP43NMK after ligation comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.

6. A method for generating guanosine diphosphate fucose comprising incubating the recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 of claim 1 in a medium comprising fucose to undergo fermentation in a fermentation medium.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises inoculating a seed solution comprising the recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 into the fermentation medium in an inoculum size with OD value of 0.1 to 0.3, and culturing at 35° C. to 40° C., 200 rpm to 250 rpm, and for 18 hours to 20 hours.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the fermentation further comprises inoculating the recombinant Bacillus subtilis 168 into a seed medium and culturing for 8 hours to 10 hours.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the seed medium contains 10 g/L of tryptone, 5 g/L of yeast powder, and 10 g/L of NaCl.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the fermentation medium comprises: 20 g/L of glycerinum, 6 g/L of peptone, 12 g/L of yeast powder, 6 g/L of (NH 4 )SO 4 , 12.5 g/L of K 2 HPO 4 *3H 2 O, 2.5 g/L of KH 2 PO 4 , 5 g/L of CaCO 3 , and 10 ml/L of microelement solution; and wherein the microelement solution comprises: 1.0 g/L of MnSO 4 *5H 2 O, 0.4 g/L of CoCl 2 *6H 2 O, 0.2 g/L of NaMoO 4 *2H 2 O, 0.2 g/L of ZnSO 4 *7H 2 O, 0.1 g/L of AlCl 3 *6H 2 O, 0.1 g/L of CuCl 2 *H 2 O, 0.05 g/L of H 3 BO 4 , and 5M of HCl.
