Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), playing important roles in agriculture, medicine and other fields, are multifunctional non-protein amino acids with similar and comparable properties and biosynthesis pathways. Recently, microbial synthesis has become an inevitable trend to produce GABA and ALA due to its green and sustainable characteristics. In addition, the development of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology has continuously accelerated and increased the GABA and ALA yield in microorganisms. Here, focusing on the current trends in metabolic engineering strategies for microbial synthesis of GABA and ALA, we analysed and compared the efficiency of various metabolic strategies in detail. Moreover, we provide the insights to meet challenges of realizing industrially competitive strains and highlight the future perspectives of GABA and ALA production. 相似文献

Microorganisms capable of efficient production of amino acids have traditionally been developed by random mutation and selection method, which might cause unwanted physiological changes in cellular metabolism. Rational genome-wide metabolic engineering based on systems and synthetic biology tools, which is termed 'systems metabolic engineering', is rising as an alternative to overcome these problems. Recently, several amino acid producers have been successfully developed by systems metabolic engineering, where the metabolic engineering procedures were performed within a systems biology framework, and entire metabolic networks, including complex regulatory circuits, were engineered in an integrated manner. Here we review the current status of systems metabolic engineering successfully applied for developing amino acid producing strains and discuss future prospects. 相似文献

Flavan-3-ols, such as green tea catechins represent a major group of phenolic compounds with significant medicinal properties. We describe the construction and optimization of Escherichia coli recombinant strains for the production of mono- and dihydroxylated catechins from their flavanone and phenylpropanoid acid precursors. Use of glucose minimal medium, Fe(II), and control of oxygen availability during shake-flask experiments resulted in production yield increases. Additional production improvement resulted from the use of medium rather than high-copy number plasmids and, in the case of mono-hydroxylated compounds, the addition of extracellular cofactors in the culture medium. The established metabolic engineering approach allowed the biosynthesis of natural catechins at high purity for assessing their possible insulinotropic effects in pancreatic beta-cell cultures. We demonstrated that (+)-afzelechin and (+)-catechin modulated the secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta-cells. These results indicate the potential of applying metabolic engineering approaches for the synthesis of natural and non-natural catechin analogues as drug candidates in diabetes treatments. 相似文献

Synthetic biology seeks to reprogram microbial cells for efficient production of value-added compounds from low-cost renewable substrates. A great challenge of chemicals biosynthesis is the competition between cell metabolism and target product synthesis for limited cellular resource. Dynamic regulation provides an effective strategy for fine-tuning metabolic flux to maximize chemicals production. In this work, we created a tunable growth phase-dependent autonomous bifunctional genetic switch (GABS) by coupling growth phase responsive promoters and degrons to dynamically redirect the carbon flux for metabolic state switching from cell growth mode to production mode, and achieved high-level GABA production from low-value glycerol in Corynebacterium glutamicum. A ribosome binding sites (RBS)-library-based pathway optimization strategy was firstly developed to reconstruct and optimize the glycerol utilization pathway in C. glutamicum, and the resulting strain CgGly2 displayed excellent glycerol utilization ability. Then, the initial GABA-producing strain was constructed by deleting the GABA degradation pathway and introducing an exogenous GABA synthetic pathway, which led to 5.26 g/L of GABA production from glycerol. In order to resolve the conflicts of carbon flux between cell growth and GABA production, we used the GABS to reconstruct the GABA synthetic metabolic network, in which the competitive modules of GABA biosynthesis, including the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle module and the arginine biosynthesis module, were dynamically down-regulated while the synthetic modules were dynamically up-regulated after sufficient biomass accumulation. Finally, the resulting strain G7-1 accumulated 45.6 g/L of GABA with a yield of 0.4 g/g glycerol, which was the highest titer of GABA ever reported from low-value glycerol. Therefore, these results provide a promising technology to dynamically balance the metabolic flux for the efficient production of other high value-added chemicals from a low-value substrate in C. glutamicum. 相似文献

Genome-scale model for Clostridium acetobutylicum: Part I. Metabolic network resolution and analysis
A genome-scale metabolic network reconstruction for Clostridium acetobutylicum (ATCC 824) was carried out using a new semi-automated reverse engineering algorithm. The network consists of 422 intracellular metabolites involved in 552 reactions and includes 80 membrane transport reactions. The metabolic network illustrates the reliance of clostridia on the urea cycle, intracellular L-glutamate solute pools, and the acetylornithine transaminase for amino acid biosynthesis from the 2-oxoglutarate precursor. The semi-automated reverse engineering algorithm identified discrepancies in reaction network databases that are major obstacles for fully automated network-building algorithms. The proposed semi-automated approach allowed for the conservation of unique clostridial metabolic pathways, such as an incomplete TCA cycle. A thermodynamic analysis was used to determine the physiological conditions under which proposed pathways (e.g., reverse partial TCA cycle and reverse arginine biosynthesis pathway) are feasible. The reconstructed metabolic network was used to create a genome-scale model that correctly characterized the butyrate kinase knock-out and the asolventogenic M5 pSOL1 megaplasmid degenerate strains. Systematic gene knock-out simulations were performed to identify a set of genes encoding clostridial enzymes essential for growth in silico. 相似文献

Exopolysaccharides produced by Lactococcus lactis: from genetic engineering to improved rheological properties? 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Michiel Kleerebezem Richard van Kranenburg Remco Tuinier Ingeborg C. Boels Pieternella Zoon Ellen Looijesteijn Jeroen Hugenholtz Willem M. de Vos 《Antonie van Leeuwenhoek》1999,76(1-4):357-365
Over the last years, important advances have been made in the study of the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by several lactic acid bacteria, including Lactococcus lactis. From different EPS-producing lactococcal strains the specific eps gene clusters have been characterised. They contain eps genes, which are involved in EPS repeating unit synthesis, export, polymerisation, and chain length determination. The function of the glycosyltransferase genes has been established and the availability of these genes opened the way to EPS engineering. In addition to the eps genes, biosynthesis of EPS requires a number of housekeeping genes that are involved in the metabolic pathways leading to the EPS-building blocks, the nucleotide sugars. The identification and characterisation of several of these housekeeping genes (galE, galU, rfbABCD) allows the design of metabolic engineering strategies that should lead to increased EPS production levels by L. lactis. Finally, model developme nt has been initiated in order to predict the physicochemical consequences of the addition of a EPS to a product. 相似文献

Hydrogen is a potential sustainable energy source and it could become an alternative to fossil fuel combustion, thus helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The biological production of hydrogen, instead of its chemical synthesis, is a promising possibility since this process requires less energy and is more sustainable and eco-friendly. Several microorganisms have been used for this purpose, but Escherichia coli is one of the most widely used in this field. The literature in this area has increased exponentially in the last 10 years and several strategies have been reported in an effort to improve hydrogen production. In this work, the stay of the art of hydrogen biosynthesis by E. coli and metabolic engineering strategies to enhance hydrogen production are reviewed. This work includes a discussion about the hydrogenase complexes responsible for the hydrogen synthesis in this microorganism and the central carbon metabolism pathways connected to this process. The main metabolic engineering strategies applied are discussed, including heterologous gene expression, adaptive evolution and metabolic and protein engineering. On the other hand, culture conditions, including the use of carbon sources such as glycerol, glucose or organic wastes, have also been considered. Yields and productivities of the most relevant engineered strains reported using several carbon sources are also compared. 相似文献

Biodiesel has emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels; however, the low price of glycerol feed‐stocks generated from the biodiesel industry has become a burden to this industry. A feasible alternative is the microbial biotransformation of waste glycerol to hydrogen and ethanol. Escherichia coli, a microorganism commonly used for metabolic engineering, is able to biotransform glycerol into these products. Nevertheless, the wild type strain yields can be improved by rewiring the carbon flux to the desired products by genetic engineering. Due to the importance of the central carbon metabolism in hydrogen and ethanol synthesis, E. coli single null mutant strains for enzymes of the TCA cycle and other related reactions were studied in this work. These strains were grown anaerobically in a glycerol‐based medium and the concentrations of ethanol, glycerol, succinate and hydrogen were analysed by HPLC and GC. It was found that the reductive branch is the more relevant pathway for the aim of this work, with malate playing a central role. It was also found that the putative C4‐transporter dcuD mutant improved the target product yields. These results will contribute to reveal novel metabolic engineering strategies for improving hydrogen and ethanol production by E. coli. 相似文献

Filamentous fungi from the genus Aspergillus are of high importance for biobased organic acid production. So far, a number of Aspergillus strains belonging to phylogenetically distantly related species have been successfully applied in industrial production of organic acids due to their excellent capabilities of secreting high amounts of desired organic acids. For the past decades, numerous efforts have been made to reveal the mechanisms of organic acid biosynthesis in several Aspergillus species and to improve the production of desired organic acids via genetic engineering. This review summarizes the recent breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of physiological aspects of organic acid accumulation by fungal biocatalysts and highlights the progress in genetic engineering of aspergilli for organic acid production. The challenges for the future applications of aspergilli as commercial cell factories for organic acid production are also discussed. 相似文献
