2,3-丁二醇代谢途径关键酶基因敲除对克雷伯氏菌发酵产1,3-丙二醇的影响

2,3-丁二醇是克雷伯氏菌发酵产1,3-丙二醇的主要副产物,为减少2,3-丁二醇的产生,利用Red重组技术对克雷伯氏菌2,3-丁二醇合成途径关键酶基因budC和budA进行了敲除。突变株发酵性能实验结果表明,所获得的两株突变株生长性能受到不同程度的影响;budC基因的缺失使菌株1,3-丙二醇产量提高了10%,2,3-丁二醇降低为原来的70%,而budA基因缺失则使菌株无2,3-丁二醇和1,3-丙二醇的产生,但乳酸、琥珀酸、乙醇和乙酸的产量较出发菌株都有明显增长。通过进一步对budC基因缺失菌株主要产物分析,推测在该菌中存在2,3-丁二醇回补途径,这一结果为低副产物克雷伯氏菌的改造提供了新依据。

Deletion of lactate dehydrogenase in Enterobacter aerogenes to enhance 2,3-butanediol production

2,3-Butanediol is an important bio-based chemical product, because it can be converted into several C4 industrial chemicals. In this study, a lactate dehydrogenase-deleted mutant was constructed to improve 2,3-butanediol productivity in Enterobacter aerogenes. To delete the gene encoding lactate dehydrogenase, λ Red recombination method was successfully adapted for E. aerogenes. The resulting strain produced a very small amount of lactate and 16.7% more 2,3-butanediol than that of the wild-type strain in batch fermentation. The mutant and its parental strain were then cultured with six different carbon sources, and the mutant showed higher carbon source consumption and microbial growth rates in all media. The 2,3-butanediol titer reached 69.5 g/l in 54 h during fed-batch fermentation with the mutant,which was 27.4% higher than that with the parental strain.With further optimization of the medium and aeration conditions,118.05 g/l 2,3-butanediol was produced in 54 h during fed-batch fermentation with the mutant. This is by far the highest titer of 2,3-butanediol with E. aerogenes achieved by metabolic pathway engineering.

Effect of deletion of 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase gene (bdhA) on acetoin production of Bacillus subtilis

The present work aims to block 2,3-butanediol synthesis in acetoin fermentation of Bacillus subtilis. First, we constructed a recombinant strain BS168D by deleting the 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase gene bdhA of the B. subtilis168, and there was almost no 2,3-butanediol production in 20?g/L of glucose media. The acetoin yield of BS168D reached 6.61?g/L, which was about 1.5 times higher than that of the control B. subtilis168 (4.47?g/L). Then, when the glucose concentration was increased to 100?g/L, the acetoin yield reached 24.6?g/L, but 2.4?g/L of 2,3-butanediol was detected at the end of fermentation. The analysis of 2,3-butanediol chiral structure indicated that the main 2,3-butanediol production of BS168D was meso-2,3-butanediol, and the bdhA gene was only responsible for (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol synthesis. Therefore, we speculated that there may exit another pathway relating to the meso-2,3-butanediol synthesis in the B. subtilis. In addition, the results of low oxygen condition fermentation showed that deletion of bdhA gene successfully blocked the reversible transformation between acetoin and 2,3-butanediol and eliminated the effect of dissolved oxygen on the transformation.     

2-Ketogluconic acid production by Klebsiella pneumoniae CGMCC 1.6366

Klebsiella pneumoniae CGMCC 1.6366 is a bacterium isolated for 1,3-propanediol or 2,3-butanediol production previously. K. pneumoniae ΔbudA, a 2,3-butanediol synthesis pathway truncated mutant with the gene deletion of budA which encodes alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase, was found to execrate an unknown chemical at a high titer when grown in the broth using glucose as carbon source. Later this chemical was identified to be 2-ketogluconic acid, which was formed through the glucose oxidation pathway in K. pneumoniae. It was found that 2-ketogluconic can also be produced by the wild strain. The fermentation studies showed that the production of this metabolite is strictly pH dependent, when the fermenting broth was maintained at pH 6–7, the main metabolite produced by K. pneumoniae CGMCC 1.6366 was 2,3-butanediol, or some organic acids in the budA mutated strain. However, if the cells were fermented at pH 4.7, 2-ketogluconic acid was formed, and the secretion of all other organic acids or 2,3-butanediol were limited. In the 5L bioreactors, a final level of 38.2 and 30.2 g/L 2-ketogluconic acid were accumulated by the wild type and the budA mutant K. pneumoniae, respectively, in 26 and 56 h; and the conversion ratios of glucose to 2-ketogluconic acid reached 0.86 and 0.91 mol/mol for the wild and the budA mutant, respectively.     

Characterization of acetoin production in a budC gene disrupted mutant of Serratia marcescens G12

The 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) dehydrogenase gene budC of Serratia marcescens G12 was disrupted to construct the acetoin (AC) producing strain G12M. In shake-flask cultures, AC production was enhanced by increased concentrations of glucose or sodium acetate in G12M. In fed-batch fermentation, G12M produced 47.5 g/L AC along with 9.8 g/L 2,3-BD. The expression of the key enzymes for AC synthesis was further investigated. Alpha-acetolactate synthase gene budB decreased its expression significantly in G12M compared with G12. This probably explained the moderate AC production in G12M cultures. Additionally, overexpression of budB gene and α-acetolactate decarboxylase gene budA was conducted in G12M and no significant increase of AC was observed. The results suggested that intracellular AC accumulation might inhibit the expression of budB and budA gene and induce budC gene expression in G12M. Our analyses offered the bases for further genetic manipulations in improving AC production in microbial fermentations.     

Microbial production of meso-2,3-butanediol by metabolically engineered Escherichia coli under low oxygen condition

A metabolically engineered Escherichia coli has been constructed for the production of meso-2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) under low oxygen condition. Genes responsible for 2,3-BD formation from pyruvate were assembled together to generate a high-copy plasmid pEnBD, in which each gene was transcribed with a constitutive promoter. To eliminate by-product formation under low oxygen condition, genes including ldhA, pta, adhE, and poxB which functioned for the mixed acid fermentation pathways were deleted in E. coli JM109. Compared with the wild type, the quadruple gene deletion mutant produced smaller amounts of acetate, succinate, and ethanol from glucose when cultivated in LB medium in shake flasks under low-aeration. When 2,3-BD producing pathway was introduced via pEnBD into the mutant, higher glucose consumption and faster 2,3-BD production rate compared with that of the wild-type control were observed under aerobic condition in shake flasks. In a 6-L fermentor supplied with only 3% dissolved oxygen (DO), the mutant harboring pEnBD converted glucose to 2,3-BD much faster than the control did. When DO supply was further lowered to 1% DO, the recombinant mutant grew much slower but produced 2,3-BD as a major fermentation metabolic product. In addition, the 2,3-BD yield showed an increase from 0.20 g BD/g glucose for the control to 0.43 g BD/g glucose for the mixed acid pathway deleted mutant grown in fermentors under 1% DO. These results reveals the potential of production of enantiomerically pure 2,3-BD isomer by recombinant E. coli under low oxygen condition.

Control of catechol meta-cleavage pathway in Alcaligenes eutrophus

Alcaligenes eutrophus 335 (ATCC 17697) metabolizes phenol and p-cresol via a catechol meta-cleavage pathway. Studies with mutant strains, each defective in an enzyme of the pathway, showed that the six enzymes assayed are induced by the primary substrate. Studies with a putative polarity mutant defective in the expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase suggested that the structural genes encoding this and subsequent enzymes of the pathway exist in the same operon. From studies with mutant strains that constitutively synthesize catechol 2,3-oxygenase and subsequent enzymes and from the coordination of repression of these enzymes by p-toluate, benzoate, and acetate, it is proposed the catechol 2,3-oxygenase structural gene is situated in this operon (2,3-oxygenase operon). Studies with regulatory mutant strains suggest that the 2,3-oxygenase operon is under negative control.
