  • Patent number: 11578342
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses recombinant Bacillus subtilis for synthesizing guanosine diphosphate fucose and a construction method and application thereof. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis is obtained by intensively expressing guanylate kinase and nucleotide diphosphokinase genes and expressing exogenous fucokinase and phosphate guanylyltransferase genes in a genome of Bacillus subtilis 168. According to the disclosure, a bacterial strain for synthesizing the guanosine diphosphate fucose is obtained by reconstructing the Bacillus subtilis 168, with a volume of intracellular accumulation up to 196.15 g/L. According to the disclosure, by intensively expressing the guanylate kinase and nucleotide diphosphokinase genes, and enhancing the supply of intracellular GDP-L-fucose composition cofactors, the synthesis of the guanosine diphosphate fucose is promoted. The construction method for the recombinant Bacillus subtilis of the disclosure is simple and convenient to use, thus having good application prospects.

  • Patent number: 11293027
    Abstract: The present invention provides a recombinant Bacillus subtilis with improved 2?-fucosyllactose production, and a construction method thereof. In the present invention, a strain capable of efficiently synthesizing 2?-fucosyllactose is obtained by the fusion expression of the fucosyltransferase gene and the L-fucokinase/guanosine 5?-diphosphate-L-fucose pyrophosphorylase gene in Bacillus subtilis BSGL-FF, the fermentation supernatant of which comprises a cumulative amount of 2?-fucosyllactose as high as 1.62 g/L, which is 55% higher than the amount achieved with the control strain. The construction method of the recombinant Bacillus subtilis of the present invention is simple, and convenient to use, and thus has good application prospects.

  • Patent number: 11198862
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for promoting acetylglucosamine synthesis of Bacillus subtilis, which belongs to the field of genetic engineering. The present invention adopts the recombinant Bacillus subtilis BSGNKAP2 as a starting strain, exogenously introducing pyruvate carboxylase BalpycA derived from Bacillus cereus, eliminating the central carbon metabolism overflow of the Bacillus subtilis and avoiding the synthesis of the by-product acetoin; further, five exogenous reducing force metabolic reactions are introduced to replace the reaction of generating NADH in glycolysis pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle to reconstruct intracellular reducing force metabolism, which specifically comprise glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ferredoxin dehydrogenase, isocitrate NAD+ dehydrogenase, a malate quinone dehydrogenase, a ketoacid ferredoxin oxidoreductase and a nitrogenase ferritin. In a shake-flask fermentation process using a complex medium, acetylglucosamine yield of the recombinant strain BSGNKAP8 is 24.
