The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to novel high-efficiency gamma-glutamyl methylamine synthetase and a plasmid-free genetic engineering bacterium for L-theanine production and construction and application thereof. The plasmid-free genetic engineering bacterium which performs denovo synthesis on L-theanine efficiently by taking cheap carbon sources such as glucose as a substrate is provided, escherichia coli serves as a host, and gamma-glutamyl methylamine synthase genes gmas-Mu copied three times are integrated on a genome of the escherichia coli; a glutamate dehydrogenase gene Cgl2079 is copied once; a pyruvate carboxylase gene Cgl0689 is copied once; a citrate synthase gene gltA is copied once, and the genetic engineering bacterium is obtained. After metabolic transformation of a system, the engineering bacterium can perform denovo synthesis on the L-theanine by taking the glucose as the raw material, the fermentation yieldand sugar-acid conversion rate are the highest values reported so far, in fermentation of a 5 L fermentor, the maximum production of the L-theanine can reach 60 g/L, and the sugar-acid conversion ratecan reach 40%.

The invention provides a flavin-binding glucose dehydrogenase exhibiting reduced fluctuation of activity depending on temperature environment, and a method for measuring glucose concentration using the flavin-binding glucose dehydrogenase. The flavin-binding glucose dehydrogenase has the following properties (1) to (3): (1) activity: which exhibits glucose dehydrogenase activity in the presence of an electron acceptor; (2) substrate specificity: which exhibits an activity of 10% or less against maltose, D-galactose, D-fructose, sorbitol, lactose and sucrose when the activity against D-glucose is defined as 100%; and (3) temperature characteristics: which exhibits lower fluctuation of activity in a wide temperature range of 10 to 50° C.

The invention provides an ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase mutant and a screening method and application thereof. The screening method includes the steps of firstly, synthesizing first chain cDNA; secondly, performing PCR amplification; thirdly, building AGPase large and small subunit cDNA prokaryotic expression vectors; fourthly, performing active screening. The method has the advantages that distant hybridization is performed on AGPase large subunit genes and small subunit genes from different species, and the recombinant gene expression vectors are obtained in a highly-controllable manner; escherichia coli glgC mutant strains are converted and inoculated to a Conberg enrichment solid culture medium, and iodine-potassium iodide dyeing is used to screen the high-activity ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase mutant. The screening method is simple and practical and stable and reliable. The enzyme activity and glycogen content of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase mutant are evidently higher than those of wild corn AGPase, evident change of the substrate affinity of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase mutant is avoided, and the sensitivity of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase mutant to activating agent is increased.

The subject invention pertains to novel mutant polynucleotide molecules that encode enzymes that have increased heat stability. These polynucleotides, when expressed in plants, result in increased yield in plants grown under conditions of heat stress. The polynucleotide molecules of the subject invention encode maize endosperm ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) and soluble starch synthase (SSS) enzyme activities. Plants and plant tissue bred to contain, or transformed with, the mutant polynucleotides, and expressing the polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides, are also contemplated by the present invention. The subject invention also concerns methods for isolating polynucleotides and polypeptides contemplated within the scope of the invention. Methods for increasing yield in plants grown under conditions of heat stress are also provided.

The invention relates to an application of a CDS (Coding Sequence) sequence of a CBL9 (Calcineurin B-Like) gene of corn. The invention provides the function of the CDS sequence of the CBL9 gene of corn for the first time. The CDS sequence of the CBL9 gene of corn is cloned to a plant expression vector and the vector is transferred to a plant body, so that the obtained transgenetic plant is saline-alkaline tolerant, osmotic stress resistant, high glucose resistant and ABA (Abscisic Acid) stress resistant. ZmCBL9 protein takes part in the salt tolerant and osmotic stress resistant process by regulating the downstream related gene and has important meaning for cultivating high yield transgenetic crops.

The invention discloses a method for producing starch by Monoraphidium. The method comprises (1) preparing a microalgae seed liquid, wherein the microalgae is Monoraphidium sp. SS-06 and has a preservation number of CGMCC No. 10765, (2) inoculating an N element-rich microalgae culture medium with the Monoraphidium seed liquid, carrying out culture until a logarithmic growth phase, carrying out standing and sedimentation, discharging the supernatant and acquiring microalgae cells, (3) inoculating a low N element content microalgae culture medium with the microalgae cells, adding an ADP glucose pyrophosphatase inhibitor into the culture medium and carrying out continuous illumination culture until a stable period to obtain starch-rich microalgae cells. The method is conducive to proliferation of microalgae cells and accumulation of starch, can produce microalgae cells with high starch content and has the characteristics of simple processes, low cost and high yield.

Disclosed herein are a novel sucrose-inducible promoter sequence and a 5′ untranslated region which are derived from sweetpotato ADP-glucose pyrophosphorlyase gene (ibAGPl) (SEQ ID NO: 1). Also disclosed are expression vectors using the same sequences and a transgenic plant using the same vectors. The promoter and 5′ untranslated region according to the present invention can confer a high level of sucrose-inducible expression in plants, particularly in plant storage roots which contain sucrose in relatively large quantities to accumulate starch in large quantities in plants. Therefore the present invention may be useful for the generation of transgenic plants to produce useful proteins in large quantities in plant storage roots.

The invention discloses application of a manY/levF gene segment to butanol production, and particularly relates to overexpression recombination clostridium for producing butanol at high yield as wellas a building method and application thereof. The manY/levF gene sequence is SEQ ID NO.1. The building method of the overexpression recombination clostridium comprises the following steps of (1) manY/levF gene overexpression recombination plasmid building; (2) overexpression recombination plasmid amplification; (3) overexpression recombination plasmid methylation; (4) manY/levF gene overexpressionrecombination bacterial strain building; (5) overexpression recombination bacterial strain butanol fermentation performance detection. The invention also comprises fermentation application of the overexpression recombination clostridium to butanol production. When the manY/levF gene is overexpressed in C.acetobutylicum ATCC 824, the utilization rate of glucose, fructose and jerusalem artichoke hydrolysate in ABE fermentation and the butanol yield can be obviously improved.
