Abstract
The disclosure discloses an L-aspartate α-decarboxylase mutant and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of enzyme engineering. In the disclosure, lysine at position 221 of L-aspartate α-decarboxylase is mutated to arginine, glycine at position 369 is mutated to alanine, and the obtained new mutant enzymes have better temperature tolerance and are beneficial to industrial production. The K221R and G369A recombinant strains are subjected to high-density fermentation, and with sodium L-aspartate as a substrate, a whole cell catalytic reaction is carried out to prepare β-alanine. Compared with a chemical production method, the method has the advantages that the production process is safe and clean, and has no environmental pollution. Compared with a pure enzyme catalysis method, the method has the advantages that the operation is simple and convenient. The yield of the final product β-alanine reaches 91% and 90% respectively, and the concentration reaches 162.15 g/L and 160.42 g/L respectively.
