[Objective] To construct the γ-aminobutyrate-producing recombinant strains ofEscherichia coli and investigate their fermentation characteristics.[Methods] We constructed two recombinant plasmids pTrc99a-gadB and pTrc99a-gadB-SNO1-SNZ1 and then respectively transformed them into the gene-knockout strainE.coli K12/ΔgabTΔgabPΔpuuE. We investigated and optimized the fermentation process of the recombinant strains for producing γ-aminobutyrate.[Results] The target proteins were highly expressed in the recombinant strains harboring the constructed plasmids. The highest concentration of γ-aminobutyrate was 4.6 g/L in the fermentation broth ofE.coli K12ΔgabTΔgabPΔpuuE/pTrc99a-gadB cultured in the medium containing 10 g/L l-monosodium glutamate and was 21.9 times higher than that in the fermentation broth of the wild type strain. At the l-monosodium glutamate concentration of 20 g/L, the conversion rate of substrate was the highest and the concentration of γ-aminobutyrate reached 8.4 g/L. The concentration of γ-aminobutyrate was slightly lower in the fermentation broth of the recombinant strainE.coli K12ΔgabTΔgabPΔpuuE/pTrc99a-gadB-SNO1-SNZ1, probably due to the excessive consumption of energy. The highest concentration of γ-aminobutyrate was 9.4 g/L whenE.coli K12ΔgabTΔgabPΔpuuE/ pTrc99a-gadB was cultured in 1 L fermentation medium containing 20 g/L l-monosodium glutamate.[Conclusion] We obviously increased the yield of γ-aminobutyrate produced by the recombinant strain. This finding lays a foundation for the industrial production of γ-aminobutyrate.
