[Influence of nagE and manX knockout with red homologous recombination on the microbial production of glucosamine by Escherichia coli].

Glucosamine (GlcN), also called amino sugar, is a compound derived from the substitution of a hydroxyl group of glucose molecule with an amino group. GlcN finds a wide-range of applications in health food and pharmaceutical industries. In our previous research, a recombinant Escherichia coli-glms-gnal was constructed for the efficient production of GlcN and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), the latter can be readily deacetylated to GlcN under mild acidic conditions. However, the results indicated that the titer of GlcN and GlcNAc decreased significantly due to the transportation of GlcN and GlcNAc from the culture broth to the inside of cells. To alleviate or block the transportation process, nagE gene (encoding for the GlcNAc-specific transporter) and manX gene (encoding for the mannose transporter) were knocked out with the Red homologous recombination method, and two engineered strains, E. coli-glms-gna1-delta nagE (with nagE gene deletion) and E. coli-glms-gna1-delta nagE-delta manX (with nagE and manX genes deletion), were successfully constructed. The two strains were cultured in a 7-L fermentor for the production of GlcN and GlcNAc. The maximal GlcN concentration of control strain E. coli-glms-gnal reached 4.06 g/L, and the maximal GlcNAc concentration reached 41.46 g/L. The maximal GlcN and GlcNAc concentration of E. coli-glms-gna1-delta nagE reached 4.38 g/L and 71.80 g/L, respectively, which were 1.08-fold and 1.70-fold of those of E. coli-glms-gnal, respectively. The maximal GlcN and GlcNAc concentration of E. coli-glms-gnal-delta nagE-delta manX reached 4.82 g/L and 118.78 g/L, respectively, which were 1.20-fold and 2.86-fold of those of E. coli-glms-gnal, respectively. These results suggested that the deletion of nagE and manX could significantly increase the extracellular accumulation of GlcN and GlcNAc. The results obtained here maybe useful for the microbial GlcN production in an industrial scale.
