L-丙氨酸是一种重要的天然氨基酸,广泛应用于医药、食品、饲料等领域。目前,L-丙氨酸主要通过大肠杆菌来生产,开发安全、工业稳定的谷氨酸棒杆菌生产菌株具有重要的意义。该研究筛选了外源丙氨酸脱氢酶,在不以其他氨基酸为氨基供体的条件下高效率合成L-丙氨酸。强化非磷酸转移酶系统(phosphotransferase system,PTS)葡萄糖摄取途径,极大地促进了细胞的生长和L-丙氨酸的合成。引入异源Entner-Dondoroff途径,通过4步反应即可实现糖酵解途径10步反应供应前体物丙酮酸,进一步提高了L-丙氨酸的产量。此外,为了避免抗生素的使用和保证菌株的遗传稳定性,将关键基因整合到基因组上。最终工程菌株在5 L发酵罐发酵48 h产生104 g/L L-丙氨酸。该研究为利用谷氨酸棒杆菌工业化生产L-丙氨酸奠定了基础,同时为其他丙酮酸族产品的代谢工程研究提供了参考。
