Abstract

L-Serine is a neutral amino acid with important physiological functions widely used in food, cosmetics, and medicine industries. Escherichia coli MG1655 was systematically modified by reducing the degradation of L-serine and enhancing the expression synthetases and trans-system to produce L-serine. In particular, Ptrp was used to regulate the expression of serine hydroxymethyl transferase to decrease the degradation pathway of L-serine to glycine. The synthesis of L-serine significantly enhanced. The obtained strain SER09 produced 13.53 g/L of L-serine by shake-flask fermentation after 24 hand 22.31 g/L L-serine in a 5 L fermenter for 28 h. A platform strain producing L-serine was constructed, which has a good application prospect.
