Abstract

Ammonia emissions have become an important environmental challenge for the livestock industry. Probiotics are often used as additives to reduce ammonia, and the ammonia reduction efficiency of common probiotics is approximately 20-40%. In this study, we constructed a gdhA recombinant Pichia pastoris strain, glnA recombinant Pichia pastoris strain and gdhA-glnA Pichia pastoris recombinant strain using the gdhA and glnA genes, which have the potential function of reducing ammonia emissions. The results of in vitro fermentation showed that compared with the control, wild-type Pichia pastoris and pPICZA strains, the gdhA, glnA and gdhA-glnA recombinant strains significantly reduced ammonia emissions in laying hens (P
