Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) can effectively convert L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) or monosodium glutamate (MSG) into GABA. However, the low food-grade expression of GAD has hindered large-scale GABA production. In this study, we aimed to elevate GAD expression in <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> through cofactor synthesis enhancement, CRISPRi-based host strain modification, and fermentation optimization. In a 3-L fermenter, the optimized strain achieved a remarkable GAD activity of 319.62 U/ml without antibiotic selection pressure, representing the highest reported food-grade expression to date. Subsequently, enzymatic property analysis facilitated the optimization of GABA production using MSG and L-Glu as substrates, achieving 100% molar conversion yields of 274.40 g/l and 481.62 g/l, respectively, with the latter yielding an unprecedented productivity of 48.16 g/l/h. Finally, <i>in vitro</i> fermentation demonstrated that GABA supplementation promoted gut microbial growth and increased the relative abundance of <i>Actinobacteriota</i> and <i>Bacteroidota</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":16481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology and biotechnology","volume":"35 ","pages":"e2410013"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11813360/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143028302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
