강화목적 플럭스 기반의 플럭스 스캐닝을 이용한 생물의 개량방법

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for improving useful substance-producing organisms using metabolic flux analysis, and more particularly to a method for improving a host organism producing a useful substance, the method comprising: calculating a maximum flux value corresponding to the theoretical maximum yield of the useful substance in the metabolic network model of the host organism for producing useful substance, and calculating the optimum value of metabolic flux associated with useful substance production in the metabolic network when the value of cell growth-associated metabolic flux is the maximum under the condition where fermentation data are applied or not applied; selecting metabolic fluxes whose absolute values increase from the range between the maximum value and the optimum value; screening genes associated with the selected metabolic fluxes; and introducing and/or amplifying the selected genes in the host organism. According to the invention, the production of the useful substance can be effectively improved by selecting metabolic fluxes to be amplified and genes involved in the metabolic fluxes from the range between the optimum value and maximum value of production-associated metabolic flux in the host organism for producing the useful substance, whose genome-level metabolic network model is constructed, and introducing and/or amplifying the selected genes in the organism.
