Abstract  

Based on the establishment of the conditions of conjugational transfer of Pseudomonas denitrificans, vgb gene was successfully integrated into the chromosome of P. denitrificans via single crossover to obtain vgb recombinant strain Pvgb-16, and its effects on the carbon center metabolic flux and vitamin B12 biosynthesis were illuminated through the 13C isotope labeling experiment. The results demonstrated that the recombinant strain with vgb gene had the higher specific growth rate and specific vitamin B12 production rate, which was increased by 22% and 52% respectively, compared to the original strain under the same oxygen supply condition. In addition, cultivations were carried out with 20% or 20% glucose as substrates, the labeling patterns of the proteinogenic amino acids were used to accurately estimate the fluxes in the central carbon metabolism of P. denitrificans. The results showed that the glucose consumption rate of recombinant strain was enhanced for 14.2%, and the further carbon metabolic flux distribution analysis revealed that the improvement of the PP pathway for higher NADPH generation and the biosynthesis rate of glycine from betaine for higher synthesis of precursor aminolevulinic acid greatly enhanced vitamin B12 biosynthesis rate and productivity in the vgb recombinant strain. It can be concluded that the expression of vgb gene in P. denitrificans can effectively promote the cell growth rate, the accumulation rate and yield of vitamin B12 production, which would be of great significance for the further research and application in industrial fermentation.
