Abstract:

As a recognized safe(GRAS)bacterial hosts,Bacillus amyloliquefaciens has great development potential and application prospects in the efficient expression of heterologous enzyme. In this study,a series of B. amyloliquefaciens TCCC111018 mutant strains(BAΔspo0A,BAΔsigF,and BAΔsigE)were constructed by knocking out genes(spo0A,sigF and sigE)related to spore formation,and their biomasses and expressions of extracellular enzymes were analyzed and compared. The results showed that the biomass and extracellular enzyme expression of the strain BAΔspo0A were significantly reduced when compared with the starting strain BAΔupp,no obvious improvement for BAΔsigE,while the production performance of strain BAΔsigF was significantly improved. The stable phase of bacterial growth was prolonged by about 6 h,the time of producing enzyme was also advanced and the activity of acid-resistant α-amylase and alkaline protease were 25.23% and 21.3% higher than that of the control bacteria,respectively. The successful construction of BAΔsigF provides a new choice for industrial enzyme production hosts,also proposes a new strategy for the efficient production of heterologous enzymes.

Key words: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, spore formation, biomass, acid-resistant α-amylase, alkaline protease
