Microorganisms produce numerous valuable secondary metabolites, and their fermentation processes are complicated. In-depth studies on the fermentation processes of microbial secondary metabolites have significant theoretical and applied values. This project will take the production of an important secondary metabolite - antitumor ansamitocin by Actinosynnema pretiosum as a research target, by combining with omics (transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) analysis. The affecting mechanism of the effects of important environmental factors on ansamitocin production wil be elucidated. An engineered strain of Actinosynnema pretiosum (producing ansamitocin) will be bred by deleting negative regulatory genes and enhancing the expressiont of positive regulatory genes for ansamitocin biosynthesis. The fermentation performance of the engineered strain will be evaluated in fermentors for potenatil large-scale application. The comparative analysis of metabolic network, metabolic flux spectrum, protein expression and their relationship with key environmental factors for wild-type and engineered strains will be conducted. Then, the engineered strain will be further modified for higher production. Scale-up of the fermentation process from 2 liter to 100 liter fermentor will be done, and the scale-up rule will be found out. Based on the information obtained, new ideas and new methodologies for highly efficient production of the valuable secondary metabolite will be proposed. The study will help to deepen our understanding of the regulation mechanism of the secondary metabolite biosynthesis as well as to reach large-scale efficient production. The research approaches, ideas and methods will be beneficial to in-depth study on fermentation engineering for production of other secondary metabolites.
