The invention discloses a
Corynebacterium glutamicum recombinant strain capable of producing high-yield L-
leucine, and a construction method thereof, and belongs to the field of
genetic engineering. According to the present invention, the NADP-dependent branched-chain
amino acid transaminase in
Corynebacterium glutamicum is replaced with NAD-dependent
leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) derived from B.sphaericus by using a
genetic engineering method, such that the new efficient L-
leucine synthesis pathway is constructed, the disadvantages of excessive accumulation of NADH in the
Corynebacterium glutamicum L-leucine producing
bacteria and insufficient supply of NADPH are solved, the L-leucine synthesis ability in the recombinant strain is enhanced, and the NADPH accumulation ability of the strainis improved; the shake
fermentation experiment results show that the L-leucine accumulation of the recombinant strain achieves 16.7 g.L<-1> and is higher than the L-leucine accumulation of the starting
stain of 13.2 g.L<-1>, and the maximum
specific growth rate of the recombinant strain is 0.23 g.L<-1>.h<-1>, and is higher than the maximum
specific growth rate of the recombinant strain of 0.18 g.L<-1>.h<-1>; and the L-leucine synthesis pathway in
Corynebacterium glutamicum is successfully modified, the
disadvantage of the
intracellular cofactor imbalance is improved, and the new idea is provided for the breeding of high-yield L-leucine production
bacteria.
