[Object of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a method for producing L-phenylalanine (hereinafter referred to as phenylalanine) by a fermentation method. Phenylalanine is an important raw material for aspartame, a peptide sweetener. <Prior art> Conventional fermentation methods for producing phenylalanine include a method using L-tyrosine-requiring bacteria of the genus Brevibacterium or Micrococcus (Japanese Patent Publication No. 37-6345); Method of using mutant strains with
28712) are known. <Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention> The problems to be solved by the present invention are to produce phenylalanine at a lower cost. [Structure of the Invention] [Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventors conducted research to develop a method for producing phenylalanine at a lower cost by a fermentation method, and as a result, they discovered that Brevibacterium bacteria By combining the ability to produce phenylalanine with the property of reducing pyruvate kinase activity, we discovered that it can produce even more phenylalanine than conventional phenylalanine-producing bacteria that do not have the ability to reduce pyruvate kinase activity. Ta. This invention was completed as a result of further research based on this knowledge. The microorganism used in the method for producing phenylalanine of the present invention belongs to the genus Brevibacterium, has reduced pyruvate kinase activity, and has properties necessary for the ability to produce phenylalanine, such as resistance to m-fluorophenylalanine. It is a mutant strain.
In addition to these properties, production ability can be further improved by imparting L-tyrosine requirement, resistance to other phenylalanine analogs, resistance to tyrosine analogs, resistance to 5-methyltryptophan, sensitivity to decoinine, etc. The parent strain of the mutant strain of the present invention is a microorganism of the genus Brevibacterium known as a so-called L-glutamic acid producing bacterium, and examples thereof include the following strains. Brevibacterium flavum ATCC14067 Brevibacterium deivaricata ATCC
14020 Brevibacterium lactofamentum
ATCC13869 Brevibacterium roseum ATCC 13825 The mutant strains used in the present invention can be obtained by mutating the above-mentioned bacterial strains as parent strains to impart a reduction in pyruvate kinase activity and the ability to produce phenylalanine. The mutation operation can be carried out using conventional methods, such as ultraviolet irradiation or N-methyl-
N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (hereinafter referred to as
(abbreviated as NG), can be carried out by chemical treatment such as nitrous acid. Mutant strains with reduced pyruvate kinase activity can be obtained by mutating the parent strain, measuring the pyruvate kinase activity of the mutated cells, and selecting (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 170487-1987). A specific method for inducing Brevibacterium flavum AJ-12179 (FERM-P7913), which is an example of the strain used in the present invention, is shown below. Specifically, the pyruvate kinase activity-decreasing strain Brevibacterium flavum AJ-11955 (FERM-P6665,
FERMBP-2178) was used as the parent strain, from which a phenylalanine analog-resistant strain was derived. Brevibacterium flavum AJ-11955 at 150μg/ml
Treated with NG at 30°C for 15 minutes (survival rate 2.0%). Next, DL-m-fluorophenylalanine, which is an analog of phenylalanine, was added to the synthetic medium shown in Table 1 at a concentration of 800 μg/ml, which is a concentration at which the parent strain cannot grow, to prepare a plate medium. The mutation-treated strain AJ-11955 was applied to this, and after it was left at 30°C for 10 days, the strains that grew as colonies, that is, m-fluorophenylalanine-resistant mutants, were collected. Stock AJ
-12179 (FERM-P7913) (low pyruvate kinase, m-fluorophenylalanine resistance, S-
(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine resistance) was collected. This mutant strain is a m-fluorophenylalanine-resistant phenylalanine-producing mutant strain AJ- having pyruvate kinase activity, as shown in Examples.
Phenylalanine from 12180 (FERM-P7914)
It produced 1.8 times more. Next, the mutant strain AJ− obtained by this operation
The pyruvate kinase activity of 12179 and the degree of resistance to m-fluorophenylalanine were compared with the parent strain AJ.
-11955, wild strain ATCC-14067, phenylalanine producing strain AJ with pyruvate kinase activity
The results of comparison with 12180 are shown in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. Please note that pyruvate kinase activity was measured by Agric.
Biol. Chem., 48, (5) 1189-1197 (1984). Furthermore, the degree of resistance to m-fluorophenylalanine was examined as follows. Dissolve DL-m-fluorophenylalanine in the synthetic medium shown in Table 1 to the concentration shown in Table 3 to make a plate medium (diameter 8.5 cm), and add the contents shown in Table 4 to each medium. Approximately 10 7 of the grown bacteria were inoculated onto the indicated medium and cultured at 30°C for 4 days, and the number of colonies produced was determined. As shown in Tables 2 and 3, strain AJ-12179 was found to have both the properties of reduced pyruvate kinase and resistance to m-fluorophenylalanine. In the present invention, m-fluorophenylalanine resistance refers to DL-m resistance under the above culture conditions.
- This refers to the case where approximately 10 7 microorganisms are inoculated into the above medium containing 3000 μg/ml of fluorophenylalanine and more than 1000 colonies are produced after culturing at 30°C for 4 days. The culture medium for phenylalanine production is not particularly limited, and is a conventional medium containing a carbon source, a nitrogen source, inorganic salts and, if necessary, organic micronutrients. Carbohydrates (glucose,
fructose or starch, hydrolysates of cellulose, molasses, etc.), organic acids (acetic acid, citric acid, etc.), alcohols (glycerin, ethanol, etc.),
Alternatively, hydrocarbons (normal paraffin, etc.) can be used. Nitrogen sources include ammonium sulfate, urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium chloride, ammonia gas, and others; inorganic salts include phosphates, magnesium salts, calcium salts, iron salts, manganese salts, and other trace metal salts. Use accordingly. As organic micronutrients, appropriate amounts of amino acids, vitamins, fatty acids, organic basic substances, etc. are added if there is a nutritional requirement, and if necessary, amino acids, vitamins, and flavor liquid (registered trademark) are added as growth-promoting substances. , soybean hydrolyzate), yeast extract, peptone, casamino acids, etc. can be used. Culture conditions are normal, pH 5 to 9, temperature.
It may be cultured under aerobic conditions at 20 to 40°C for 24 to 72 hours. If the pH decreases during culture, add calcium carbonate after sterilization or neutralize with alkali such as aqueous ammonia or ammonia gas. In addition, when an organic acid is used as a carbon source, the increase in pH is neutralized with a mineral acid or an organic acid. Phenylalanine can be isolated and collected by conventional methods. The obtained product was confirmed to be phenylalanine based on the Rf value of the paper chromatogram and the biological activity value determined by the microbial quantitative method, and it was confirmed that it matched that of the phenylalanine standard. Phenylalanine was quantified according to a microbial quantification method using Leuconostocmesenteroides (ATCC8042). Examples will be described below. Example 1 20 ml of a phenylalanine production medium having the composition shown in Table 5 below was dispensed into 500 ml flasks, and one platinum loopful of each of the microorganisms shown in Table 6 was inoculated into each flask and cultured with shaking at 30°C for 72 hours. did. The amount of phenylalanine produced in each culture solution was as shown in Table 6.
