  • Patent number: 11952596
    Abstract: Application of glutamate dehydrogenase GdhA of Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus in increasing the yield of poly-?-glutamic acid from Bacillus licheniformis. The glutamate dehydrogenase GdhA of the Bacillus licheniformis WX-02 per se is replaced with the glutamate dehydrogenase derived from the Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus by means of homologous recombination, which significantly increases the level of synthesizing the poly-?-glutamic acid for the Bacillus licheniformis, and the yield of the obtained poly-?-glutamic acid from strains is increased at least by more than 20% compared with control strains.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11111516
    Abstract: Provided are malR-knockout Bacillus licheniformis strain, a construction method and a use. Using a genetic engineering method, gene, namely, the malR gene, which is in charge of conducting the transcription of the carbon metabolism transcription factor MalR, in the genome of Bacillus licheniformis DW2 is knocked out, thereby successfully obtaining Bacillus licheniformis DW2?malR, from which the malR gene has been deleted. In comparison with Bacillus licheniformis DW2, the strain obtained by the construction can improve the Bacitracin yield in a fermentation broth during Bacitracin fermentation by at least 23%.
