  • Patent number: 10934552
    Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to construction and application of engineering bacteria capable of secreting and expressing diacetylchitobiose deacetylase, and belongs to the technical field of fermentation engineering. Firstly, recombinant B. subtilis capable of heterologously secreting and expressing a diacetylchitobiose deacetylase gene is constructed, and a signal peptide fragment yncM is added into the recombinant vector for the first time. The signal peptide can secrete the target protein diacetylchitobiose deacetylase outside the cells of the recombinant B. subtilis, and a mutant of the 5?-end untranslated region is acquired, thereby significantly increasing the expression level of the target protein, and greatly simplifying the subsequent enzyme separation and purification steps. When the acquired diacetylchitobiose deacetylase is fermented and cultured in a fermentation medium for 50-60 h, the enzyme activity reaches a maximum of 1,548.
