Abstract:

This work aims to breed high-yield L-isoleucine-producing Escherichia coli. Using E. coli K12(Met-)as the original strain,regular temperature and atmospheric pressure plasma(ARTP)was for mutagenesis,combined with microbial high-throughput droplet culture system(MMC)was for screening,with α-aminobutane acid(α-AB)resistance was used as a selection marker to obtain a mutagenic E. coli NXU12 producing high yield of L-isoleucine and its genetic stability was studied. The results showed that after the original strain K12(Met-)was subjected to ARTP mutagenesis for 180 s,a strain of high-yield L-isoleucine mutagenesis,E. coli NXU12,was selected through single-factor multi-level experiments,adaptive evolution experiments,fermentation culture re-screening,and genetic stability verification. After 40 h of fermentation and culture,the L-isoleucine yield of this strain reached 17.462 8 g/L,which was 61.23% higher than that by original strain 10.830 9 g/L,and the genetic traits were stable.
