Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum (C. glutamicum) for producing fucosyllactose which is transformed to express α-1,2-fucosyltransferase, GDP-D-mannose-4,6-dehydratase (Gmd), GDP-L-fucose synthase (WcaG) and lactose permease (LacY), wherein the Corynebacterium glutamicum has phosphomannomutase and GTP-mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase, and a method for producing fucosyllactose using the same. According to the recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum and the method for producing fucosyllactose according to the present invention, with use of a GRAS Corynebacterium glutamicum strain, which is safer than conventional Escherichia coli, 2′-fucosyllactose can be produced at a high concentration while overcoming drawbacks of conventional methods associated with industrial inapplicability resulting from low production concentrations.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum transformed to express α-1,2-fucosyltransferase, transformed to express GDP-D-mannose-4,6-dehydratase, transformed to express GDP-L-fucose synthase, and transformed to express lactose permease, wherein the recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum has phosphomannomutase and GTP-mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase. 2 . The recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum according to claim 1 , wherein the α-1,2-fucosyltransferase is encoded by fucT2 genes. 3 . The recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum according to claim 2 , wherein the fucT2 genes have the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6. 4 . The recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum according to claim 1 , wherein the recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum is transformed to overexpress phosphomannomutase, and transformed to overexpress GTP-mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase. 5 . A method of producing 2′-fucosyllactose comprising culturing the recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum according to claim 1 in a medium supplemented with lactose. 6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the medium further comprises glucose. 7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the production of the fucosyllactose is carried out by fed-batch culture comprising further supplying glucose or lactose.
