Résumé
Menaquinone-4 (MK-4) plays a significant role in bone health and cardiovascular therapy. Although many strategies have been adopted to increase the yield of MK-4 in Bacillus subtilis 168, the effectiveness of MK-4 is still low due to the inherent limitations of metabolic pathways. However, dynamic regulation based on quorum sensing (QS) has been extensively applied as a fundamental tool for fine-tuning gene expression in reaction to changes in cell density without adding expensive inducers. Nevertheless, in most reports, QS systems depend on down-regulated expression rather than up-regulated expression, which greatly limit their potential as molecular switches to control metabolic flux. To address this challenge, a modular PhrQ-RapQ-ComA QS system is developed based on promoter P
