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。

腺苷钴胺素合成酶基因cobs的克隆及其在产1,3-丙二醇菌中的应用

甘油脱水酶是催化由甘油到1,3-丙二醇过程中的关键酶,它需要在辅酶B_(12)存在的情况下才能有效的进行催化;而在此催化过程中甘油脱水酶会出现失活现象,研究表明辅酶B_(12)可以有效的促使甘油脱水酶复活。因此,辅酶B_(12)在由甘油生物催化生产1,3-丙二醇过程中起到非常重要的作用。本研究利用PCR扩增技术,从Escherichia K-12菌株中扩增出产VB_(12)关键酶—腺苷钴胺素合成酶基因cobs,其序列与NCBI上已经公布的序列比对,同源性为99.6%,将基因cobs与产1,3-丙二醇关键酶基因dhaB、yqhD在Klebsiella pneumoniae中共表达,发酵结果显示重组菌所需额外添加的VB_(12)由原始菌株的0.01 g/L下降到0.004 g/L。

一步法产1,3-丙二醇酿酒酵母基因工程菌的构建

1,3-丙二醇(1,3-PD)是一种重要的化工原料,发酵法生产1,3-PD是一条新颖且具有潜在竞争力的生产途径。本研究在前期工作的基础上,将分别来源于大肠杆菌和肺炎克雷伯氏菌的基因片段yqhD和dhaB串联表达,构建重组表达载体pYX212-zeocin-pGAP-yqhD-pGAP-dhaB;并得到重组酿酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)W303-1A/pYX212-zeocin-pGAP-yqhD-pGAP-dhaB。该重组菌和对照S.cerevisiae分别以葡萄糖为底物摇瓶发酵72h后,重组酿酒酵母发酵液中1,3-PD含量约为1.5g/L;而对照菌株不产1,3-PD。以上结果表明本研究在国内首次成功构建了直接以葡萄糖为底物发酵生产1,3-PD的酿酒酵母基因工程菌。为进一步将dhaB、yqhD基因导入其他以葡萄糖为底物高产甘油的酵母宿主中表达,获得以葡萄糖为底物一步法发酵高产1,3-丙二醇工程菌打下了坚实的基础。

Production of 1,3-propanediol by Klebsiella pneumoniae from glycerol broth

Broth containing 152 g glycerol l⁻¹ from Candida krusei culture was converted to 1,3-propanediol by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Residual glucose in the broth promoted growth of K. pneumoniae while acetate was inhibitory. After desalination treatment of glycerol broth by electrodialysis, the acetate in the broth was removed. A fed-batch culture with electrodialytically pretreated broth as␣substrate was developed giving 53 g 1,3- propanediol l⁻¹ with a yield of 0.41 g g⁻¹ glycerol and a productivity of 0.94 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹.     

Pilot-scale production of 1,3-propanediol using Klebsiella pneumoniae

The conversion of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol (PDO) using Klebsiella pneumoniae M5al under anaerobic condition was scaled up from scale 5 to 5000 l in series. A simple strategy for scale-up was to transfer the optimized conditions of a lab scale bioreactor to pilot-scale fermentation. Multistage inocula were developed and their fermentation abilities were assessed in a small-scale fermenter. The experimental results showed that inoculum development in the early steps of a scale-up process could influence the outcomes of a large scale fermentation. Through three-stage liquid inoculum development and a pulse addition of (NH₄)₂SO₄ and yeast extract at 30 h of fermentation, the best results in a 5000 l fermentation were achieved leading to 58.8 g l⁻¹ 1,3-propanediol with a yield of 0.53 mol mol⁻¹ glycerol and productivity of 0.92 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹. This is the first report on pilot-scale 1,3-propanediol production using K. pneumoniae.

Identification and utilization of a 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase isoenzyme for production of 1,3-propanediol from glycerol in Klebsiella pneumoniae

In a previous study, we showed that 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) was still produced from glycerol by the Klebsiella pneumoniae mutant strain defective in 1,3-PD oxidoreductase (DhaT), although the production level was lower compared to the parent strain. As a potential candidate for another putative 1,3-PD oxidoreductase, we identified and characterized a homolog of Escherichia coli yqhD (88% homology in amino acid sequence), which encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase and is well known to replace the function of DhaT in E. coli. Introduction of multiple copies of the yqhD homolog restored 1,3-PD production in the mutant K. pneumoniae strain defective in DhaT. In addition, by-product formation was still eliminated in the recombinant strain due to the elimination of the glycerol oxidative pathway. An increase in NADP-dependent 1,3-PD oxidoreductase activity was observed in the recombinant strain harboring multiple copies of the yqhD homolog. The level of 1,3-PD production during batch fermentation in the recombinant strain was comparable to that of the parent strain; further engineering can generate an industrial strain producing 1,3-propanediol.     

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.

克雷伯杆菌甘油脱氢酶和1,3-丙二醇氧化还原酶的动力学机制

本研究主要对克雷伯杆菌甘油转化1,3-丙二醇代谢途径中的2个关键酶甘油脱氢酶(GDH)、1,3-丙二醇氧化还原酶(PDOR)反应机制和动力学进行了研究。首先,通过初速度和产物抑制动力学研究确定了GDH、PDOR双底物酶促反应机制为有序BiBi机制,明确了由反应物消耗到产物生成之间的历程。其次,建立了GDH、PDOR双底物酶促反应动力学模型,由动力学模型可知,在偶合反应中,如果GDH和PDOR酶量相同,GDH氧化反应成为限速反应,而辅酶I将主要以氧化型NAD+形式存在。动力学信息为酶法合成1,3-丙二醇和代谢工程研究提供理论指导。     

Fermentation of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol and 2,3-butanediol by Klebsiella pneumoniae

Klebsiella pneumoniae was shown to convert glycerol to 1,3-propanediol, 2,3-butanediol and ethanol under conditions of uncontrolled pH. Formation of 2,3-butanediol starts with some hours' delay and is accompanied by a reuse of the acetate that was formed in the first period. The fermentation was demonstrated in the type strain of K. pneumoniae, but growth was better with the more acid-tolerant strain GT1, which was isolated from nature. In continuous cultures in which the pH was lowered stepwise from 7.3 to 5.4, 2,3-butanediol formation started at pH 6.6 and reached a maximum yield at pH 5.5, whereas formation of acetate and ethanol declined in this pH range. 2,3-Butanediol and acetoin were also found among the products in chemostat cultures grown at pH 7 under conditions of glycerol excess but only with low yields. At any of the pH values tested, excess glycerol in the culture enhanced the butanediol yield. Both effects are seen as a consequence of product inhibition, the undissociated acid being a stronger trigger than the less toxic diols and acid anions. The possibilities for using the fermentation type described to produce 1,3-propanediol and 2,3-butanediol almost without by-products are discussed.

Fast conversion of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol by a new strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Five bacterial strains screened from a batch of 39 samples could convert glycerol anaerobically to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD). One of the strains, XJ-Li, which could synthesize 1,3-PD with a higher concentration, was identified and characterized. Phylogenetic analysis of the strain XJ-Li included the study of morphology, physiological and biochemical characteristics. In addition, 16SrDNA sequences were created. The results indicated that this strain is a member of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The optimal cultivation parameters for pH and temperature were determined as 8.0 and 40 °C, respectively. The optimized nitrogen source and carbon source were 6.0 g/L of (NH₄)₂SO₄ and 20 g/L of glycerol, respectively. After 8 h in batch fermentation, both the 1,3-PD concentration and glycerol consumption reached the maximum, with 12.2 g/L of 1,3-PD and 1.53 g/L h of productivity, and a molar yield of 1,3-PD to glycerol of 0.75. Fed-batch fermentation also indicated a higher molar yield of 0.70, and the concentration of 1,3-PD reached 38.1 g/L after 66.4 g/L of glycerol consumption. The results of batch and fed-batch fermentations demonstrated that K. pneumoniae XJ-Li would be an excellent 1,3-PD producer.
