Efficient biosynthesis of low-molecular-weight poly-γ-glutamic acid by stable overexpression of PgdS hydrolase in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NB.
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2018 December 14
Low-molecular-weight poly-γ-glutamic acid (LMW-γ-PGA) has attracted much attention owing to its great potential in food, agriculture, medicine and cosmetics. Current methods of LMW-γ-PGA production, including enzymatic hydrolysis, are associated with low operational stability. Here, an efficient method for stable biosynthesis of LMW-γ-PGA was conceived by overexpression of γ-PGA hydrolase in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NB. To establish stable expression of γ-PGA hydrolase (PgdS) during fermentation, a novel plasmid pNX01 was constructed with a native replicon from endogenous plasmid p2Sip, showing a loss rate of 4% after 100 consecutive passages. Subsequently, this plasmid was applied in a screen of high activity PgdS hydrolase, leading to substantial improvements to γ-PGA titer with concomitant decrease in the molecular weight. Finally, a satisfactory yield of 17.62 ± 0.38 g/L LMW-γ-PGA with a weight-average molecular weight of 20-30 kDa was achieved by direct fermentation of Jerusalem artichoke tuber extract. Our study presents a potential method for commercial production of LMW-γ-PGA.
