Abstract
Phenyllactic acid (PLA) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial substance with broad application prospects in the food industry. In our previous research, we isolated and screened a strain of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) from vinegar mash, Gluconacetobacter tumulisoli FBFS 97, which is the first reported AAB strain with the PLA production capacity. In current study, in order to increase the PLA production of the FBFS 97 strain, a strong promoter, Pkan (promoter of kanamycin resistance gene), suitable for the FBFS 97 strain, was screened using enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as a reporter. Then five related genes with PLA biosynthesis in the FBFS 97 strain, including the chorismate synthase gene aroc, the prephenate dehydratase gene pheA, the glucose dehydrogenase gene gdh, the formate dehydrogenase gene fdh and the glycerate dehydrogenase gene gldh were overexpressed using the Pkan promoter, respectively. The results revealed that except the gldh overexpression strain, PLA production of other mutants were improved to 125.9 %, 140.2 %, 130 % and 113 % comparing to that (56.85 mg/L) of the FBFS 97 strain, respectively. This study not only lays the foundation for constructing the high-producing PLA engineering strain using the FBFS 97, but also provides a novel insight for better understanding the PLA biosynthesis pathway of microorganisms.
