Construction of Lactococcus lactis Expression System via Chromosomal Integration of T7 RNA Polymerase for Levan Production from Fruit Pomace

Le résumé fourni par la source

Fruit pomace recycling is critical for green biomanufacturing. Lactococcus lactis, a common host for waste valorization, shows poor protein expression in conventional systems. We constructed T7RNAP-driven inducible and constitutive expression systems in L. lactis NZ9000. The two systems increased target gene transcription by 103-fold and 207-fold, and enzyme activity by 5.24-fold and 10.36-fold, respectively. A signal peptide enabled efficient extracellular secretion of recombinant proteins. The engineered strains synthesized levansucrase and levan, achieving yields of 36.27 g/L and 27.53 g/L in sucrose medium. When using food waste substrates, the levan titer reached 8.84 g/L with molasses, and 3.2, 1.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.5 g/L with sugar cane bagasse and various fruit peels. This work provides a reliable strategy for strain engineering, pomace reuse and low-cost large-scale levan production.
