摘要
To improve the production of the lantibiotic subtilin in Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, two genetic engineering strategies were followed. Firstly, additional copies of subtilin self-protection (immunity) genes spaIFEG have been integrated into the genome of the producer strain. Their expression significantly enhanced the subtilin tolerance level, and concomitantly, the subtilin yield 1.7-fold. Secondly, a repressor of subtilin gene expression, the B. subtilis general transition state regulator protein AbrB, was deleted. A sixfold enhancement of the subtilin yield could be achieved with the abrB deletion mutant; however, the produced subtilin fraction predominantly consists of succinylated subtilin species with less antimicrobial activity compared to unmodified subtilin.
