Abstract
Objectives: To enhance the de novo synthesis of SAM, the effects of several key genes on SAM synthesis were examined based on modular strategy, and the key genes were manipulated to obtain an engineered strain with high SAM production.
Results: In Bacillus amyloliquefaciens HSAM6, the deletion of argG gene to block aspartic acid branching degradation increased SAM titer to 254.78 ± 15.91 mg/L, up 18% from HSAM6. Subsequently, deleting the moaA gene to boost the supply of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate led to the stunted growth and the plummeting yield of SAM. Further improvement of strain growth by overexpression of the citA gene, while SAM synthesis was not significantly enhanced. Finally, the maximum SAM titer (452.89 ± 13.42 mg/L) was obtained by overexpression SAM2 gene using the multicopy plasmid.
Conclusions: The deletion of argG gene and the overexpression of SAM2 gene significantly improved SAM synthesis in B. amyloliquefaciens.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Letters is the world’s leading rapid-publication primary journal dedicated to biotechnology as a whole – that is to topics relating to actual or potential applications of biological reactions affected by microbial, plant or animal cells and biocatalysts derived from them.
All relevant aspects of molecular biology, genetics and cell biochemistry, of process and reactor design, of pre- and post-treatment steps, and of manufacturing or service operations are therefore included.
Contributions from industrial and academic laboratories are equally welcome. We also welcome contributions covering biotechnological aspects of regenerative medicine and biomaterials and also cancer biotechnology. Criteria for the acceptance of papers relate to our aim of publishing useful and informative results that will be of value to other workers in related fields.
The emphasis is very much on novelty and immediacy in order to justify rapid publication of authors’ results. It should be noted, however, that we do not normally publish papers (but this is not absolute) that deal with unidentified consortia of microorganisms (e.g. as in activated sludge) as these results may not be easily reproducible in other laboratories.
Papers describing the isolation and identification of microorganisms are not regarded as appropriate but such information can be appended as supporting information to a paper. Papers dealing with simple process development are usually considered to lack sufficient novelty or interest to warrant publication.
