Hyaluronic acid production by covRS-eficient strain of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus
Freislerová, Eva ; Franke,, Lukáš (referee) ; Mgr.Stanislav Pepeliaev, Ph.D. (advisor)
The bacteria of genus Streptococci are among the most significant producers of hyaluronic acid in industrial scale. One of the typical representatives of that group is Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus. The production of hyaluronic acid in Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus is heavily influenced by cultivation conditions and by genetic alterations. The present work describes the deletion of genes covR and covS responsible for transcriptional regulation of stress response. According to Galeas a kol. [35] the deletion of these genes in S. pyogenes led to the hyaluronic acid capsule increase. As the S. pyogenes and S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus share approx. 80 % of genome, it was assumed, that the deletion of genes covR and covS in Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus genome would lead to the higher hyaluronic acid production. The new strain SEZ covRS was obtained by allelic replacement mutagenesis. The cultivations performed in laboratory-scale fermenters in rich Wheat E1 medium showed approx. 9% higher production over parental strain. Therefore, the covRS regulation system plays the same role in Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus and indirectly regulates the biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid.
