Recombinant Escherichia coli for high efficiency production of fructosylated chondroitin and method for making thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology engineering. It provides a recombinant Escherichia coli that can produce fructosylated chondroitin with high yields and the method for constructing the recombinant strain. The present invention discloses a method for constructing an expression plasmid pETM6R1-RBS-glmM-GGGS-glmS that contains a glmM and a glmS gene under regulation of ribosome binding sites. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli K4 to obtain a recombinant E. coli strain ZQ33 that can produce fructosylated chondroitin up to 3.99 g·L−1 by fed-batch fermentation in a 5-L fermentor, which was increased by 108.90% compared to that of the wild type strain.
