Method for enhancing N-acetylglucosamine production through glcK knockout of Bacillus subtilis
The present invention provides a method for enhancing N-acetylglucosamine production by usage of a recombinant Bacillus subtilis with a glcK knockout. This invention enhanced the production of GlcNAc by knocking out the glcK gene which encodes a glucokinase, thus eliminating the GlcNAc phosphorylation to GlcNAc-6-P. The specific growth rate and content of GlcNAc in the supernatant of the recombinant Bacillus subtilis with the glcK knockout were 0.15 h−1 and 3.0 g/L, respectively, which were 2.32 times and 2.14 times of those of the control strain without glcK knockout. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis of the present invention would be potentially useful for industrial production of GlcNAc.
