  • Patent number: 11492616
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for modifying an amino acid attenuator, a class of amino acid attenuator mutants, engineered bacteria created on the basis of the amino acid attenuator mutants, and use of the engineered bacteria. The present invention protects a method for relieving the attenuation regulation of an amino acid operon gene, which is modification of the amino acid operon gene by: removing a gene coding for a leader peptide and an anterior reverse complementary palindromic sequence in the terminator stem-loop structure, and maintaining a posterior reverse complementary palindromic sequence in the terminator. The amino acid operon particularly can be histidine operon, tryptophan operon, phenylalanine operon, alanine operon, threonine operon and etc. The present invention can be used for the production of amino acids and derivatives thereof in fermentation by bacteria, providing a novel method for improving the production of amino acids in fermentation.

  • Publication number: 20160326556
    Abstract: The present application discloses recombinant bacteria producing L-amino acid(s) its construction method and the method of producing L-amino acid(s). The recombinant bacteria producing L-amino acid(s) according to the present invention has reduced expression of the glucose-6-phosphate isomerase Pgi and improved expression of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase Zwf-OpcA than the starting bacteria, wherein: said starting bacterium is a bacterial strain which can accumulate target amino acid(s). During fermenting and culturing the recombinant bacteria according to the present invention, it is observed that the effect of improving yield can be additive and the yield of L-amino acid(s) is improved obviously. The strategy of combinational modification according to the present invention develops a new method of improving the yield of L-amino acid(s) and hence it can be applied to produce L-amino acid(s) through bacterialfermentation.
