Klebsiella pneumoniae 1,3-propanediol:NAD+ oxidoreductase.

Fermentative utilization of glycerol, a more reduced carbohydrate than aldoses and ketoses, requires the disposal of the two extra hydrogen atoms. This is accomplished by sacrificing an equal quantity of glycerol via an auxiliary pathway initiated by glycerol dehydratase. The product, 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde, is then reduced by 1,3-propanediol NAD+:oxidoreductase (1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase; EC 1.1.1.202), resulting in the regeneration of NAD+ from NADH. The pathway for the assimilation of glycerol is initiated by an NAD-linked dehydrogenase. In Klebsiella pneumoniae the two pathways are encoded by the dha regulon which is inducible only anaerobically. In this study 1,3-propanediol:NAD+ oxidoreductase was purified from cells grown anaerobically on glycerol. The enzyme was immunochemically distinct from the NAD-linked glycerol dehydrogenase and was an octamer or hexamer of a polypeptide of 45,000 +/- 3,000 daltons. When tested as a dehydrogenase, only 1,3-propanediol served as a substrate; no activity was detected with ethanol, 1-propanol, 1,2-propanediol, glycerol, or 1,4-butanediol. The enzyme was inhibited by chelators of divalent cations. An enzyme preparation inhibited by alpha,alpha'-dipyridyl was reactivated by the addition of Fe2+ or Mn2+ after removal of the chelator by gel filtration. As for glycerol dehydrogenase, 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase is apparently inactivated by oxidation during aerobic metabolism, under which condition the enzyme becomes superfluous.     

3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde guided glycerol feeding strategy in aerobic 1,3-propanediol production by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Klebsiella pneumoniae</Emphasis>

3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA) is a toxic intermediary metabolite in the biological route of 1,3-propanediol biosynthesis from glycerol. 3-HPA accumulated in culture medium would arouse an irreversible cessation of the fermentation process. The role of substrate (glycerol) on 3-HPA accumulation in aerobic fermentation was investigated in this paper. 1,3-Propanediol oxidoreductase and glycerol dehydratase, two key enzyme catalyzing reactions of 3-HPA formation and consumption, were sensitive to high concentration of 3-HPA. When the concentration of 3-HPA increased to a higher level in medium (ac 10 mmol/L), the activity of 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase in cell decreased correspondingly, which led to decrease of the 3-HPA conversion rate, then the 3-HPA concentration increasing was accelerated furthermore. 3-HPA accumulation in culture medium was triggered by this positive feedback mechanism. In the cell exponential growth phase, the reaction catalyzed by 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase was the rate limiting step in 1,3-propanediol production. The level of 3-HPA in culture medium could be controlled by the substrate (glycerol) concentration, and lower level of glycerol could avoid 3-HPA accumulating to a high, lethal concentration. In fed batch fermentation, under the condition of initial glycerol concentration 30 g/L, and keeping glycerol concentration lower than 7–8 g/L in cell exponential growth phase, 3-HPA accumulation could not be incurred. Based on this result, a glycerol feeding strategy was set up in fed batch fermentation. Under the optimized condition, 50.1 g/L of 1,3-propanediol was produced in 24 h, and 73.1 g/L of final 1,3-propanediol concentration was obtained in 54 h.     

Physiologic mechanisms of sequential products synthesis in 1,3-propanediol fed-batch fermentation by Klebsiella pneumoniae

The glycerol fed-batch fermentation by Klebsiella pneumoniae CGMCC 1.6366 exhibited the sequential synthesis of products, including acetate, 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD), 2,3-butanediol, ethanol, succinate, and lactate. The dominant flux distribution was shifted from acetate formation to 1,3-PD formation in early- exponential growth phase and then to lactate synthesis in late-exponential growth phase. The underlying physiological mechanism of the above observations has been investigated via the related enzymes, nucleotide, and intermediary metabolites analysis. The carbon flow shift is dictated by the intrinsic physiological state and enzymatic activity regulation. Especially, the internal redox state could serve as a rate-controlling factor for 1,3-PD production. The q(1,3-PD) formation was the combined outcomes of regulations of glycerol dehydratase activity and internal redox balancing. The q(ethanol)/q(acetate) ratios demonstrated the flexible adaptation mechanism of K. pneumoniae preferring ATP generation in early-exponential growth phase. A low PEP to pyruvate ratio corresponded LDH activity increase, leading to lactate accumulation in stationary phase.     

Inactivation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">dhaD</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">dhaK</Emphasis> abolishes by-product accumulation during 1,3-propanediol production in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Klebsiella pneumoniae</Emphasis>

1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PD) can be used for the industrial synthesis of a variety of compounds, including polyesters, polyethers, and polyurethanes. 1,3-PD is generated from petrochemical and microbial sources. 1,3-Propanediol is a typical product of glycerol fermentation, while acetate, lactate, 2,3-butanediol, and ethanol also accumulate during the process. Substrate and product inhibition limit the final concentration of 1,3-propanediol in the fermentation broth. It is impossible to increase the yield of 1,3-propanediol by using the traditional whole-cell fermentation process. In this study, dhaD and dhaK, the genes for glycerol dehydrogenase and dihydroxyacetone kinase, respectively, were inactivated by homologous recombination in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The dhaD/dhaK double mutant (designated TC100), selected from 5,000 single or double cross homologous recombination mutants, was confirmed as a double cross by using polymerase chain reaction. Analysis of the cell-free supernatant with high-performance liquid chromatography revealed elimination of lactate and 2,3-butanediol, as well as ethanol accumulation in TC100, compared with the wild-type strain. Furthermore, 1,3-propanediol productivity was increased in the TC100 strain expressing glycerol dehydratase and 1,3-PDO dehydrogenase regulated by the arabinose P_BAD promoter. The genetic engineering and medium formulation approaches used here should aid in the separation of 1,3-propanediol from lactate, 2,3-butanediol, and ethanol and lead to increased production of 1,3-propanediol in Klebsiella pneumoniae.     

Cloning and Sequence Analysis of the dhaT Gene of the 1,3-Propanediol Regulon from Klebsiella Pneumoniae

1,3-Propanediol oxidoreductase encoded by dhaT gene, a gene of 1,3-propanediol regulon, is important in converting glycerol to 1,3-propanediol in Klebsiella pneumoniae. DhaT gene was amplified from the genome of K. pneumoniae, sequenced and its amino acid sequence deduced. A predicted secondary structure and 3D-structural model was constructed by homology modelling. Based on these results, we infer that 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase belongs to NAD(P)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase group III of iron-activated dehydrogenases.     

Kinetic, dynamic, and pathway studies of glycerol metabolism by Klebsiella pneumoniae in anaerobic continuous culture: III. Enzymes and fluxes of glycerol dissimilation and 1,3-propanediol formation

The initial steps of glycerol dissimilation and 1,3-propanediol (1, 3-PD) formation by Klebsiella pneumoniae anaerobically grown on glycerol were studied by quantifying the in vitro and in vivo activities of enzymes in continuous culture under conditions of steady state and oscillation and during transient phases. The enzymes studied included glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH), glycerol dehydratase (GDHt), and 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase (PDOR). Three conclusions can be drawn from the steady-state results. First, glycerol concentration in the culture is a key parameter that inversely affects the in vitro activities (concentrations) of all three enzymes, but has a positive effect on their in vivo activities. Growth rate significantly affects the ratio of in vitro and in vivo enzyme activities under low glycerol concentrations, but not under glycerol excess. Second, whereas the flux through the oxidative pathway of glycerol dissimilation is governed mainly by the regulation of in vivo enzyme activity on a metabolic level, the flux through the reductive pathway is largely controlled by the synthesis of enzymes. Third, GDHt is a major rate-liming enzyme for the consumption of glycerol and the formation of 1,3-PD in K. pneumoniae at high glycerol concentrations. Results from oscillating cultures revealed that both in vitro and in vivo activities of the enzymes oscillated. The average values of the in vitro activities during an oscillation cycle agreed well with their corresponding values for nonoscillating cultures under similar environmental conditions. Experiments with step changes in the feed concentration of glycerol demonstrated that growth and product formation are very sensitive to changes of substrate concentration in the culture. This sensitivity is due to the dynamic responses of the genetic and metabolic networks. They should be considered when modeling the dynamics of the culture and attempting to improve the formation of 1,3-PD.     

Production of 1,3-propanediol, 2,3-butanediol and ethanol by a newly isolated Klebsiella oxytoca strain growing on biodiesel-derived glycerol based media

The production of 1,3-propanediol, 2,3-butanediol and ethanol was studied, during cultivations of strain Klebsiella oxytoca FMCC-197 on biodiesel-derived glycerol based media. Different kinds of glycerol feedstocks and experimental conditions had an important impact upon the distribution of metabolic products; production of 1,3-propanediol was positively influenced by stable pH conditions and by the absence of N₂ gas infusions throughout the fermentation. Thus, during batch bioreactor fermentations conducted at increasing glycerol concentrations, 1,3-propanediol at 41.3 g/L and yield ～47% (w/w) was achieved at initial glycerol concentration ～120 g/L. At even higher initial glycerol media (150 and 170 g/L), growth was not ceased, but 1,3-propanediol production declined. During fed-batch fermentation under optimal experimental conditions, 126 g/L of glycerol were converted into 50.1 g/L of 1,3-propanediol. In this experiment, also 25.2 g/L of ethanol (conversion yield ～20%, w/w) were formed. A batch-bioreactor culture was performed under non-sterilized conditions and the 1,3-propanediol production was almost equivalent to the sterilized process. Concerning 2,3-butanediol formation, the most detrimental parameter was the absence of N₂ sparging and as a result, no 2,3-butanediol was produced. The presence of glucose as co-substrate seriously enhanced 2,3-butanediol production; when commercial glucose was employed as sole substrate, 32.1 g/L of 2,3-butanediol were formed.     

Shifts in pH affect the maltose/glycerol co-fermentation by Lactobacillus reuteri

In aerated cultures of Lactobacillus reuteri using maltose/glycerol, lactate was the main product followed by acetate at all pH (4.7, 5.5 and 6.5) tested while anaerobic cultures produced 1,3-propanediol besides lactate, acetate and ethanol. 1,3-Propanediol was the main product at pH 5.5 and 6.5. The high amount of acetate and the low concentration of ethanol found in anaerobic cultures was closely related to the synthesis of 1,3-propanediol.     

Physiologic Mechanisms Involved in Accumulation of 3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde during Fermentation of Glycerol by Enterobacter agglomerans

When grown in 700 mM glycerol within the pH range 6.0 to 7.5, anaerobic pH-regulated cultures of Enterobacter agglomerans exhibited an extracellular accumulation of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA). This phenomenon, which causes fermentation cessation, occurred earlier when pH was low. In contrast, substrate consumption was complete at pH 8. Levels of glycerol-catabolizing enzymes, i.e., glycerol dehydrogenase and dihydroxyacetone kinase for the oxidative route and glycerol dehydratase and 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase for the reductive route, as well as the nucleotide pools were determined periodically in the pH 7- and pH 8-regulated cultures. A NAD/NADH ratio of 1.7 was correlated with the beginning of the production of the inhibitory metabolite. Further accumulation was dependent on the ratio of glycerol dehydratase activity to 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase activity. For a ratio higher than 1, 3-HPA was produced until fermentation ceased, which occurred for the pH 7-regulated culture. At pH 8, a value below 1 was noticed and 3-HPA accumulation was transient, while the NAD/NADH ratio decreased. The low rate of glycerol dissimilation following the appearance of 3-HPA in the culture medium was attributed to the strong inhibitory effect exerted by 3-HPA on glycerol dehydrogenase activity.
