Abstract

Corynebacterium glutamicum is an important microbial cell factory, and genomic modification has become a primary way to regulate target metabolites. In order to improve the editing efficiency of site-directed mutation, an efficient and time-saving CRISPR-Cpf1/ssDNA genome editing system was established. The kanamycin resistance was used as a screening marker to construct a rigorous ssDNA model strain M-1 to verify and calculate editing efficiency. Firstly, strong promoter Ptuf was adopted to optimize cutting efficiency. Secondly, the recombination efficiency was optimized by recombinase RecT and reasonable length and addition amount of ssDNA. The results showed that under the dual action of promoter Ptuf and RecT, the gene editing efficiency increased to (80±5.7)% using the optimized combination of lagging strands (70 bp and 12.5 μg). Overall, the RecT-mediated CRISPR-Cpf1/ssDNA genome editing system can greatly accelerate the metabolic engineering modification of C. glutamicum.
