Abstract Background Genome reduction and metabolic engineering have emerged as intensive research hotspots for constructing the promising functional chassis various microbial cell factories. Surfactin, a lipopeptide-type biosurfactant with broad spectrum antibiotic activity, has wide application prospects in anticancer therapy, biocontrol bioremediation. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LL3, previously isolated by our lab, contains an intact srfA operon genome surfactin biosynthesis. Results In...

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is extensively employed in various fields such as medicine, cosmetics, food, etc. The molecular weight (MW) of HA crucial for its biological functions. Streptococcus zooepidemicus, a prominent industrial producer, naturally synthetizes with high MW. Currently, few effective approaches exist the direct and precise regulation MW through one-step fermentation process, S. zooepidemicus lacks metabolic regulatory elements varying intensities. ratio HA's precursors,...

Aspergillus niger has shown great potential for hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] bioremediation in wastewater treatment. However, the specific functional genes involved Cr(VI) removal pathway A. remain unexplored, limiting our ability to create genetically engineered strains with enhanced capabilities. In this study, we successfully identified two critical responsible chromate removal: chrR, a putative gene encoding reductase, and chrP, permease. Our findings revealed that deletion of either...

Kojic acid (KA) is a widely used compound in the cosmetic, medical, and food industries, typically produced by Aspergillus oryzae. To meet increasing market demand, it important to optimize KA production through seeking alternatives that are more economic than current A. oryzae-based methods.In this study, we achieved first successful heterologous of niger, an industrially fungus does not naturally produce KA, expression kojA gene from Using resulting KA-producing niger strain as platform,...

Citric acid is widely used in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Aspergillus niger workhorse for citric production industry. A canonical citrate biosynthesis that occurred mitochondria was well established; however, some research suggested cytosolic pathway may play a role this production. Here, roles of phosphoketolase (PK), acetate kinase (ACK) acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) were investigated by gene deletion complementation A. niger. The results indicated PK, ACK ACS important...
