Abstract

Diacetylchitobiose deacetylase (Dac) hydrolyzes N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) into the biologically active substance glucosamine (GlcN), and efficient production of Dac is the key to realizing this catalytic process.Using a Dac-expressing Bacillus subtilis BS-P43-NMK-T0 as a starting strain, 12 signal peptides were first screened, among which, the signal peptide NprB had the strongest ability to direct Dac secretion, and after optimizing its functional region, the recombinant strain BS-P43-NMK-T4-N1 had an extracellular enzyme activity reached 69.83 U/mL.Subsequently, three inducible promoters were screened, among which the promoter Pgrac100 induced the best expression effect, and the extracellular enzyme activity of the recombinant strain BS-NMK-T4-N1-Pgrac was increased to 88.92 U/mL after optimizing the induction conditions.When the fermentation conditions were 4% inoculum, 20 g/L glucose (carbon source) and 10 g/L nutrient broth (nitrogen source), the extracellular Dac enzyme activity reached 127.59 U/mL, and the addition of glucose in the shake flasks could further increase the Dac activity to 144.25 U/mL.Finally, when the amplified culture was carried out in the 3-L fermenter, the extracellular Dac activity was 319.63 U/mL, which was 7.09 times higher than the extracellular Dac activity of the starting strain.This study provides basic research for the industrial production of GlcN by enzymatic conversion method.
