Production of d-Tagatose by Whole-Cell Conversion of Recombinant Bacillus subtilis in the Absence of Antibiotics
2021
Overview
d-tagatose is a popular functional monosaccharide produced from lactose by β-galactosidase and arabinose isomerase. In this study, two d-alanine-deficient heterologous gene expression systems were constructed, B. subtilis 168 D1 and B. subtilis 168 D2, using overlapping extension PCR and the CRE/loxP system. The lacZ gene for β-galactosidase was integrated into a specific locus of the chassis B. subtilis 168 D2. A mutually complementary plasmid pMA5 with the alanine racemase gene alrA attached to it was constructed and used to assemble recombinant plasmids overexpressing β-galactosidase and arabinose isomerase. Afterward, an integrated recombinant was constructed by the plasmid expressing the arabinose isomerase gene araA of E. coli transform-competent B. subtilis 168 D2 cells. The co-expressing plasmids were introduced into alanine racemase knockout B. subtilis 168 D1. Whole-cell bioconversion was performed using the integrated recombinant with a maximum yield of 96.8 g/L d-tagatose from 500 g/L lactose, and the highest molar conversions were 57.2%. B. subtilis 168 D1/pMA5-alrA-araA-lacZ is capable of single-cell one-step production of d-tagatose. This study provides a new approach to the production of functional sugars.
