Embodiment 3

[0273] Example 3, Production of Proteus Escherichia coli PHB with Knockout of Genes Related to Cell Wall Synthesis

[0274] The biological functions of some high-molecular-weight penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of bacteria have been elucidated, but the physiological functions of low-molecular-weight PBPs are still unclear. Morphological observation of Escherichia coli with mutations in some PBPs found that the diameter, profile and topological structure of PBP5 knockout Escherichia coli were changed. When the activity of PBP3 or FtsZ is inhibited, the bacteria will grow longer. PBP5 is an enzyme that removes the terminal D-alanine residue of the peptidoglycan pentapeptide side chain. Mutations in PBP5 are not lethal, possibly due to the presence of one or more other low-molecular-weight PBPs that can Fill the vacancy of PBP5.

[0275] Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are a series of key proteins in the process of peptidoglycan synthesis. There are currently 12 discovere...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for increasing microbe intracellular inclusion accumulation amount by increasing bacteria volume. The method can increase the accumulation amount of a microbe intracellular inclusion, which is characterized in that microbe volume is increased by reforming the gene which can influence the microbe volume, and the accumulation amount of the microbe intracellular inclusion can be increased. The experiment proves that the method can construct engineering bacteria for increasing the bacteria volume, so that output of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB), protein, polyphosphoric acid and carboxysome can be increased, and the some engineering bacteria poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) can reach as high as 80% of dry cell weight which is increased by 30%. According to the invention, production process is simple, cost is low, and application prospect is wide.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for increasing the accumulation of microbial intracellular content by increasing the volume of bacteria, the content including poly 3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), protein, polyphosphoric acid and carbon dioxide body etc. Background technique [0002] Many inclusions synthesized by microorganisms have practical applications, such as inclusion poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) can be used as bioplastics or medical implant materials, protein inclusions can be useful enzymes or therapeutic polypeptides , The content of polyphosphoric acid can be used to extract phosphorus as a component of chemical fertilizers, and the content of carbon bodies can fix carbon dioxide. However, the small space of individual microorganisms hinders people from obtaining such microbial contents in large quantities. [0003] Currently known microbial cell division genes mainly include: ftsZ, ftsA, ftsQ, sulA, ...
