The sequence preference of gamma radiation mutagenesis using a novel in vitro model

Background L-lysine is widely used for feed and special diet products. The transformation of fermentation strains plays a decisive role in the development of these industries. Based on the mutation breeding theory and metabolic engineering methods, this study aimed to improve the regeneration rate of high-lethality protoplasts by combining multiple mutagenesis and homologous cell fusion techniques to efficiently concentrate multiple dominant mutations and optimize the L-lysine production strain Escherichia coli QDW. Results In order to obtain the best protoplasts, the optimal enzymolysis time was selected as 4 h. The optimal lysozyme concentration was estimated at 0.8 mg/mL, because the protoplast formation rate and regeneration rate reached 90% and 30%, respectively, and their product reached the maximum. In this study, it was necessary that UV mutagenesis be excessive to obtain an expanded mutation library. For high lethality protoplasts, under the premise of minimal influence on its recovery, the optimal time for UV mutagenesis of protoplasts was 7 min, and the optimal time for thermal inactivation of protoplasts at 85 ℃ was 30 min. After homologous fusion, four fusion strains of E. coli were obtained, and their stability was analyzed by flow cytometry. The L-lysine yield of QDW-UH3 increased by 7.2% compared with that of QDW in a fermentation experiment, which promoted the expression of key enzymes in L-lysine synthesis, indicating that the combination of ultraviolet mutagenic breeding and protoplast fusion technology improved the acid-production level of the fusion strain. Conclusion This method provides a novel approach for the targeted construction of microbial cell factories.
