Production method of Danshensu

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a production method of Danshensu, belonging to the technical field of bioengineering. The present disclosure constructs a novel genetic engineering strain co-expressed by three enzymes, which can be applied to the production of optically pure 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxypropionic acid. All of the (D/L)-α-hydroxycarboxylic acid dehydrogenase selected by the present disclosure have the characteristics of poor substrate specificity and strong optical specificity, and can produce optically pure D-danshensu and L-danshensu. Further, the production efficiency of the recombinant strain is improved by knocking out or enhancing the expression of a related gene on the E. coli genome to promote substrate transport and reduce product decomposition. The method for producing Danshensu and α-ketoglutaric acid by using the transformation of the recombinant strain according to the present disclosure is simple, has easily available raw materials, few impurities, and has good industrial application prospects.
