BackgroundMenaquinone (MK-7) is a highly valuable vitamin K2produced byBacillus subtilis. Common static metabolic engineering approaches for promoting the production of MK-7 have been studied previously. However, these approaches caused an accumulation of toxic substances and reduced product yield. Hence, dynamic regulation by the quorum sensing (QS) system is a promising method for achieving a balance between product synthesis and cell growth.ResultsIn this study, the QS transcriptional regulator SinR, which plays a significant role in biofilm formation and MK production simultaneously, was selected, and its site-directed mutants were constructed. Among these mutants,sinRknock out strain (KO-SinR) increased the biofilm biomass by 2.8-fold compared to the wild-type. SinRquadmaximized the yield of MK-7 (102.56 ± 2.84 mg/L). To decipher the mechanism of how this mutant regulates MK-7 synthesis and to find additional potential regulators that enhance MK-7 synthesis, RNA-seq was used to analyze expression changes in the QS system, biofilm formation, and MK-7 synthesis pathway. The results showed that the expressions oftapA,tasAandepsEwere up-regulated 9.79-, 0.95-, and 4.42-fold, respectively. Therefore, SinRquadformed more wrinkly and smoother biofilms than BS168. The upregulated expressions ofglpF,glpk, andglpDin this biofilm morphology facilitated the flow of glycerol through the biofilm. In addition, NADH dehydrogenases especiallysdhA,sdhB,sdhCandglpD, increased 1.01-, 3.93-, 1.87-, and 1.11-fold, respectively. The increased expression levels of NADH dehydrogenases indicated that more electrons were produced for the electron transport system. Electrical hyperpolarization stimulated the synthesis of the electron transport chain components, such as cytochrome c and MK, to ensure the efficiency of electron transfer. Wrinkly and smooth biofilms formed a network of interconnected channels with a low resistance to liquid flow, which was beneficial for the uptake of glycerol, and facilitated the metabolic flux of four modules of the MK-7 synthesis pathway.ConclusionsIn this study, we report for the first time that SinRquadhas significant effects on MK-7 synthesis by forming wrinkly and smooth biofilms, upregulating the expression level of most NADH dehydrogenases, and providing higher membrane potential to stimulate the accumulation of the components in the electron transport system.
