Production method of glutamic acid independent gamma-polyglutamic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a production method of glutamic acid independent gamma-polyglutamic acid.
Background
Gamma-polyglutamic acid (gamma-PGA) is a natural polymer, which is polymerized from D-glutamic acid and L-glutamic acid through gamma-amide bonds, and is significantly different from proteins formed by connecting different types of amino acids through amide bonds between alpha-amino groups and alpha-carboxyl groups.
Depending on the composition of the glutamic acid residues, γ -PGA can be divided into three classes: d-glutamic acid homopolymer (D-gamma-PGA), L-glutamic acid homopolymer (L-gamma-PGA) and random copolymer composed of D-and L-glutamic acid (D-L-gamma-PGA).
The gamma-PGA has good biocompatibility, ion adsorption and biodegradability, is harmless to human bodies and the environment, and is commonly used in the fields of cosmetics, food processing, agriculture, medicine, environmental protection and the like.
Bacillus producing γ -PGA can be divided into two classes: strains requiring external supply of glutamate produce γ -PGA, i.e., glutamate dependent strains; the other is a strain which can produce gamma-PGA without externally supplying glutamic acid and is independent of glutamic acid.
The present glutamic acid dependent strain has higher gamma-PGA yield, so the glutamic acid dependent strain is usually selected for fermentation production, for example, the invention patent CN114456980A in 2022 of the company discloses a bacillus with high gamma-polyglutamic acid yield, the strain is named as bacillus licheniformis (Bacillus licheniformis) BCSW-11052, and the strain is preserved in China general microbiological culture Collection center with the preservation number of CGMCC NO.23967 in 11 months 24 of 2021; wherein the produced high molecular polymer is identified as gamma-polyglutamic acid through analysis. Said invention uses molasses as carbon source, and under the condition of adding exogenous glutamic acid, the gamma-PGA content in unit volume fermentation liquor can be up to 86.3 g/L. However, the addition of exogenous glutamic acid theoretically increases the production cost. The glutamic acid independent strain has larger potential capability for producing the gamma-PGA, and the research on the production of the gamma-PGA by the glutamic acid independent strain is helpful for analyzing the biosynthesis and the regulation mechanism of the gamma-PGA.
