Abstract
The tacA gene, encoding the TacA repressor protein, was cloned by “walking the uncloned DNA” method from the genomic DNA of the fungus Penicillium verruculosum B1-221-151. Knockout of the tacA and niaD genes by the CRIS-PR/CAS9 led to the production of a new host strain P. verruculosum ΔniaDΔtacA, characterized by a higher rate of extracellular protein biosynthesis. Analysis of the transcription and expression of the cbhI gene in the original P. verruculosum B1-221-151 strain and in the P. verruculosum ΔniaDΔtacA strain showed a sharp increase in the level of cbhI gene transcription 2 h after the start of induction with cellobiose, cellotriose, gentiobiose, and a mixture of di- and trisaccharides in comparison with the transcription of the cbhI gene in the original strain. The speci c activity of cellobiohydrolase I, the main enzyme of the cellulolytic complex of the fungus P. verruculosum, by 96 h of fermentation of the ΔtacA strain increased 3 times compared to the original strain.
