Clostridium includes a number of species, such as thermophilic Clostridium thermocellum and mesophilic Clostridium cellulolyticum, producing biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulose, while genetic engineering is necessary to improve wild-type strains to fulfill the requirement of industrialization. ClosTron system is widely used in the gene targeting of Clostridium because of its high efficiency and operability. However, the targetron plasmid present in cell hinders the successive gene disruption. To solve this problem, a pyrF-based screening system was developed and implemented in C. cellulolyticum strain H10 in this study for efficient targetron plasmid curing. The screening system was composed of a pyrF-deleted cell chassis (H10ΔpyrF) constructed via homologous recombination and a PyrF expression cassette located in a targetron plasmid containing an erythromycin resistance gene. With the screening system, the gene targeting could be achieved following a two-step procedure, including the first step of gene disruption through targetron transformation and erythromycin selection and the second step of plasmid curing by screening with 5-fluoroorotic acid. To test the developed screening system, successive inactivation of the major cellulosomal exocellulase Cel48F and the scaffoldin protein CipC was achieved in C. cellulolyticum, and the efficient plasmid curing was confirmed. With the assistance of the pyrF-based screening system, the targetron plasmid-cured colonies can be rapidly selected by one-plate screening instead of traditional days' unguaranteed screening, and the successive gene disruption becomes accomplishable with ClosTron system with improved stability and efficiency, which may promote the metabolic engineering of Clostridium species aiming at enhanced production of biofuels and chemicals.
