We engineered P. putida for the production of isobutanol from glucose by preventing product and precursor degradation, inactivation of the soluble transhydrogenase SthA, overexpression of the native ilvC and ilvD genes, and implementation of the feedback‐resistant acetolactate synthase AlsS from Bacillus subtilis, ketoacid decarboxylase KivD from Lactococcus lactis, and aldehyde dehydrogenase YqhD from Escherichia coli. The resulting strain P. putida Iso2 produced isobutanol with a substrate specific product yield (YIso/S) of 22 ± 2 mg per gram of glucose under aerobic conditions. Furthermore, we identified the ketoacid decarboxylase from Carnobacterium maltaromaticum to be a suitable alternative for isobutanol production, since replacement of kivD from L. lactis in P. putida Iso2 by the variant from C. maltaromaticum yielded an identical YIso/S. Although P. putida is regarded as obligate aerobic, we show that under oxygen deprivation conditions this bacterium does not grow, remains metabolically active, and that engineered producer strains secreted isobutanol also under the non‐growing conditions. 相似文献

The increased synthesis of building blocks of IPP (isopentenyl diphosphate) and DMAPP (dimethylallyl diphosphate) through metabolic engineering is a way to enhance the production of carotenoids. Using E. coli as a host, IPP and DMAPP supply can be increased significantly through the introduction of foreign MVA (mevalonate) pathway into it. The MVA pathway is split into two parts with the top and bottom portions supplying mevalonate from acetyl-CoA, and IPP and DMAPP from mevalonate, respectively. The bottom portions of MVA pathway from Streptococcus pneumonia, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were compared with exogenous mevalonate supplementation for β-carotene production in recombinant Escherichia coli harboring β-carotene synthesis genes. The E. coli harboring the bottom MVA pathway of S. pneumoniae produced the highest amount of β-carotene. The top portions of MVA pathway were also compared and the top MVA pathway of E. faecalis was found out to be the most efficient for mevalonate production in E. coli. The whole MVA pathway was constructed by combining the bottom and top portions of MVA pathway of S. pneumoniae and E. faecalis, respectively. The recombinant E. coli harboring the whole MVA pathway and β-carotene synthesis genes produced high amount of β-carotene even without exogenous mevalonate supplementation. When comparing various E. coli strains – MG1655, DH5α, S17-1, XL1-Blue and BL21 – the DH5α was found to be the best β-carotene producer. Using glycerol as the carbon source for β-carotene production was found to be superior to glucose, galactose, xylose and maltose. The recombinant E. coli DH5α harboring the whole MVA pathway and β-carotene synthesis genes produced β-carotene of 465 mg/L at glycerol concentration of 2% (w/v). 相似文献

Alternative microbial hosts have been engineered as biocatalysts for butanol biosynthesis. The butanol synthetic pathway of Clostridium acetobutylicum was first re-constructed in Escherichia coli to establish a baseline for comparison to other hosts. Whereas polycistronic expression of the pathway genes resulted in the production of 34 mg/L butanol, individual expression of pathway genes elevated titers to 200 mg/L. Improved titers were achieved by co-expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae formate dehydrogenase while overexpression of E. coli glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase to elevate glycolytic flux improved titers to 580 mg/L. Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus subtilis were also explored as alternative production hosts. Polycistronic expression of butanol biosynthetic genes yielded butanol titers of 120 and 24 mg/L from P. putida and B. subtilis, respectively. Production in the obligate aerobe P. putida was dependent upon expression of bcd-etfAB. These results demonstrate the potential of engineering butanol biosynthesis in a variety of heterologous microorganisms, including those cultivated aerobically. 相似文献

We have investigated the utilization of a variety of alkylbenzenes by P. putida strains and found that a strain harboring the OCT plasmid assimilated ethylbenzene. The linkage between the determinant for the degradation of ethylbenzene (Etb+ phenotype) and the OCT plasmid was inferred from conjugation experiments. The growth characteristics of the strains carrying mutations in the alk genes of the OCT plasmid which determine the assimilation of /t-alkanes indicated that alkB, alkA, and alkR should be responsible for the degradation of ethylbenzene. The exposure of ethylbenzene to the P. putida strain harboring the CAM-OCT plasmid resulted in the accumulation of β-phenylethyl alcohol. A possible degradation pathway for ethylbenzene including the terminal oxidation of the alkyl side chain was proposed. 相似文献

In the application of engineered Escherichia coli in industrial polyhydroxybutyrate production process, one of the major concerns is the induction of the metabolic pathway.
In this study, we developed a stress-induced system by which the PHB biosynthesis pathways can be induced under stress conditions.
Fermentation results showed that recombinant E. coli DH5α (pQKZ103) harboring this system was able to accumulate polyhydroxybutyrate up to 85.8% of cell dry weight in minimal
glucose medium without adding any inducer. Growth experiment with GFP as a reporter indicated that the induction of this system
happened at the late exponential phase and was sensitive to stressed environment. This system can also be applied in many
other biotechnological processes. 相似文献

A genetically engineered strain of Escherichia coli JM109 harboring the isopropanol-producing pathway consisting of five genes encoding four enzymes, thiolase, coenzyme A (CoA)
transferase, acetoacetate decarboxylase from Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824, and primary–secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from C. beijerinckii NRRL B593, produced up to 227 mM of isopropanol from glucose under aerobic fed-batch culture conditions. Acetate production
by the engineered strain was approximately one sixth that produced by a control E. coli strain bearing an expression vector without the clostridial genes. These results demonstrate a functional isopropanol-producing
pathway in E. coli and consequently carbon flux from acetyl-CoA directed to isopropanol instead of acetate. This is the first report on isopropanol
production by genetically engineered microorganism under aerobic culture conditions. 相似文献

Gene bioaugmentation is a bioremediation strategy that enhances biodegradative potential via dissemination of degradative
genes from introduced microorganisms to indigenous microorganisms. Bioremediation experiments using 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic
acid (2,4-D)-contaminated soil slurry and strains of Pseudomonas putida or Escherichia coli harboring a self-transmissible 2,4-D degradative plasmid pJP4 were conducted in microcosms to assess possible effects of
gene bioaugmentation on the overall microbial community structure and ecological functions (carbon source utilization and
nitrogen transformation potentials). Although exogenous bacteria decreased rapidly, 2,4-D degradation was stimulated in bioaugmented
microcosms, possibly because of the occurrence of transconjugants by the transfer of pJP4. Terminal restriction fragment length
polymorphism analysis revealed that, although the bacterial community structure was disturbed immediately after introducing
exogenous bacteria to the inoculated microcosms, it gradually approached that of the uninoculated microcosms. Biolog assay,
nitrate reduction assay, and monitoring of the amoA gene of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nirK and nirS genes of denitrifying bacteria showed no irretrievable depressive effects of gene bioaugmentation on the carbon source utilization
and nitrogen transformation potentials. These results may suggest that gene bioaugmentation with P. putida and E. coli strains harboring pJP4 is effective for the degradation of 2,4-D in soil without large impacts on the indigenous microbial
community. 相似文献

Through metabolic pathway engineering, novel microbial biocatalysts can be engineered to convert renewable resources into useful chemicals, including monomer building‐blocks for bioplastics production. Here we describe the systematic engineering of Escherichia coli to produce, as individual products, two 5‐carbon polyamide building blocks, namely 5‐aminovalerate (AMV) and glutarate. The modular pathways were derived using “parts” from the natural lysine degradation pathway of Pseudomonas putida KT2440. Endogenous over‐production of the required precursor, lysine, was first achieved through metabolic deregulation of its biosynthesis pathway by introducing feedback resistant mutants of aspartate kinase III and dihydrodipicolinate synthase. Further disruption of native lysine decarboxylase activity (by deleting cadA and ldcC) limited cadaverine by‐product formation, enabling lysine production to 2.25 g/L at a glucose yield of 138 mmol/mol (18% of theoretical). Co‐expression of lysine monooxygenase and 5‐aminovaleramide amidohydrolase (encoded by davBA) then resulted in the production of 0.86 g/L AMV in 48 h. Finally, the additional co‐expression of glutaric semialdehyde dehydrogenase and 5‐aminovalerate aminotransferase (encoded by davDT) led to the production of 0.82 g/L glutarate under the same conditions. At this output, yields on glucose were 71 and 68 mmol/mol for AMV and glutarate (9.5 and 9.1% of theoretical), respectively. These findings further expand the number and diversity of polyamide monomers that can be derived directly from renewable resources. Biotechnol.

The lycopene synthetic pathway was engineered in Escherichia coli using the carotenoid genes (crtE, crtB, and crtI) of Pantoea agglomerans and Pantoea ananatis. E. coli harboring the P. agglomerans crt genes produced 27 mg/l of lycopene in 2YT medium without isopropyl-beta-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) induction, which was twofold higher than that produced by E. coli harboring the P. ananatis crt genes (12 mg/l lycopene) with 0.1 mM IPTG induction. The crt genes of P. agglomerans proved better for lycopene production in E. coli than those of P. ananatis. The crt genes of the two bacteria were also compared in E. coli harboring the mevalonate bottom pathway, which was capable of providing sufficient carotenoid building blocks, isopentenyl
diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), with exogenous mevalonate supplementation. Lycopene production significantly
increased using the mevalonate bottom pathway and 60 mg/l of lycopene was obtained with the P. agglomerans crt genes, which was higher than that obtained with the P. ananatis crt genes (35 mg/l lycopene). When crtE among the P. ananatis crt genes was replaced with P. agglomerans crtE or Archaeoglobus fulgidus gps, both lycopene production and cell growth were similar to that obtained with P. agglomerans
crt genes. The crtE gene was responsible for the observed difference in lycopene production and cell growth between E. coli harboring the crt genes of P. agglomerans and P. ananatis. As there was no significant difference in lycopene production between E. coli harboring P. agglomerans
crtE and A. fulgidus gps, farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthesis was not rate-limiting in E. coli.

Due to its availability, low‐price, and high degree of reduction, glycerol has become an attractive carbon source for the production of fuels and reduced chemicals. Using the platform we have established from the identification of key pathways mediating fermentative metabolism of glycerol, this work reports the engineering of Escherichia coli for the conversion of glycerol into 1,2‐propanediol (1,2‐PDO). A functional 1,2‐PDO pathway was engineered through a combination of overexpression of genes involved in its synthesis from the key intermediate dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and the manipulation of the fermentative glycerol utilization pathway. The former included the overexpression of methylglyoxal synthase (mgsA), glycerol dehydrogenase (gldA), and aldehyde oxidoreductase (yqhD). Manipulation of the glycerol utilization pathway through the replacement of the native E. coli PEP‐dependent dihydroxyacetone kinase (DHAK) with an ATP‐dependent DHAK from C. freundii increased the availability of DHAP allowing for higher 1,2‐PDO production. Analysis of the major fermentative pathways indentified ethanol as a required co‐product while increases in 1,2‐PDO titer and yield were achieved through the disruption of the pathways for acetate and lactate production. Combination of these key metabolic manipulations resulted in an engineered E. coli strain capable of producing 5.6 g/L 1,2‐PDO, at a yield of 21.3% (w/w). This strain also performed well when crude glycerol, a by‐product of biodiesel production, was used as the substrate. The titer and yield achieved in this study were favorable to those obtained with the use of E. coli for the production of 1,2‐PDO from common sugars. Biotechnol.

Mammalian cytochrome P450 enzymes are of special interest as biocatalysts for fine chemical and drug metabolite synthesis.
In this study, the potential of different recombinant microorganisms expressing rat and human cyp1a1 genes is evaluated for such applications. The maximum specific activity for 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation and gene expression
levels were used as parameters to judge biocatalyst performance. Under comparable conditions, E. coli is shown to be superior over the use of S. cerevisiae and P. putida as hosts for biocatalysis. Of all tested E. coli strains, E. coli DH5α and E. coli JM101 harboring rat CYP1A1 showed the highest activities (0.43 and 0.42 U gCDW−1, respectively). Detection of active CYP1A1 in cell-free E. coli extracts was found to be difficult and only for E. coli DH5α, expression levels could be determined (41 nmol gCDW−1). The presented results show that efficient expression of mammalian cyp1a1 genes in recombinant microorganisms is troublesome and host-dependent and that enhancing expression levels is crucial in
order to obtain more efficient biocatalysts. Specific activities currently obtained are not sufficient yet for fine chemical
production, but are sufficient for preparative-scale drug metabolite synthesis. 相似文献

Glucose catabolism of Pseudomonas putida is carried out exclusively through the Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway due to the absence of 6‐phosphofructokinase. In order to activate the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) route we transferred the pfkA gene from Escherichia coli to a P. putida wild‐type strain as well as to an eda mutant, i.e. lacking 2‐keto‐3‐deoxy‐6‐phosphogluconate aldolase. PfkAE. coli failed to redirect the carbon flow from the ED route towards the EMP pathway, suggesting that ED was essential for sugar catabolism. The presence of PfkAE. coli was detrimental for growth, which could be traced to the reduction of ATP and NAD(P)H pools along with alteration of the NAD(P)H/NADP+ ratio. Pseudomonas putida cells carrying PfkAE. coli became highly sensitive to diamide and hydrogen peroxide, the response to which is very demanding of NADPH. The inhibitory effect of PfkAE. coli could in part be relieved by methionine, the synthesis of which relies much on NADPH. These results expose the role of the ED pathway for generating the redox currency (NADPH) that is required for counteracting oxidative stress. It is thus likely that environmental bacteria that favour the ED pathway over the EMP pathway do so in order to gear their aerobic metabolism to endure oxidative‐related insults. 相似文献

Aeromonas hydrophila 4AK4 and Pseudomonas putida GPp104 were genetically engineered to synthesize poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) using gluconate and glucose rather than fatty acids. A truncated tesA gene, encoding cytosolic thioesterase I of Escherichia coli which catalyzes the conversion of acyl-ACP into free fatty acids, was introduced into A. hydrophila 4AK4. When grown in gluconate, the recombinant A. hydrophila 4AK4 synthesized 10% (w/w) PHBHHx containing 14% (mol/mol) 3-hydroxyhexanoate. If additional PHBHHx synthesis genes, phaPCJ, were over-expressed with the truncated tesA in A. hydrophila 4AK4, the PHBHHx content increased to 15% (w/w) and contained 19% (mol/mol) 3-hydroxyhexanoate. Recombinant P. putida GPp104 harboring phaC encoding PHBHHx synthase of A. hydrophila, phaB encoding acetoacetyl-CoA reductase of Wautersia eutropha and phaG encoding 3-hydroxyacyl-ACP-CoA transferase of P. putida, synthesized 19% (w/w) PHBHHx containing 5% (mol/mol) 3-hydroxyhexanoate from glucose. The results suggest that the engineered
pathways were applicable to synthesize PHBHHx from unrelated carbon sources such as gluconate and glucose. 相似文献

Pseudomonas sp. strain NyZ402, a native soil organism that grows on para-nitrophenol (PNP), was genetically engineered for the simultaneous degradation of methyl parathion (MP) and ortho-nitrophenol (ONP) by integrating mph (methyl parathion hydrolase gene) from Pseudomonas sp. strain WBC-3 and onpAB (ONP 2-monooxygenase and ONP o-benzoquinone reductase genes) from Alcaligenes sp. strain NyZ215 into the genome of strain NyZ402. Methyl parathion hydrolase (MPH), ONP 2-monooxygenase (OnpA) and o-benzoquinone reductase (OnpB) were constitutively expressed in the engineered strain NyZ-MO. Strain NyZ-MO was free of exogenous
antibiotic resistance gene markers and the introduced genes were genetically stable. Degradation experiments showed that strain
NyZ-MO could utilize MP or ONP as the sole carbon and energy source, and mineralize 0.1 mM MP–0.1 mM ONP simultaneously. This
method may serve as a useful strategy for the construction of engineered strains in the degradation of multiple environmental
pollutants. 相似文献

Anchorage of GFP fusion on the cell surface of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pseudomonas putida</Emphasis>
Yulan Yuan Chao Yang Cunjiang Song Hong Jiang Ashok Mulchandani Chuanling Qiao 《Biodegradation》2011,22(1):51-61
Here we report the cell surface display of organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion by
employing the N- and C-terminal domains of ice nucleation protein (INPNC) as an anchoring motif. An E. coli–Pseudomonas shuttle vector, pNOG33, coding for INPNC–OPH–GFP was constructed for targeting the fusion onto the cell surface of p-nitrophenol (PNP)-degrading P. putida JS444. The surface localization of INPNC–OPH–GFP was verified by cell fractionation, Western blot, proteinase accessibility,
and immunofluorescence microscopy. Furthermore, the functionality of the surface-exposed OPH–GFP was demonstrated by OPH assays
and fluorescence measurements. Surface display of macromolecular OPH–GFP fusion (63 kDa) neither inhibited cell growth nor
affected cell viability. These results suggest that INP is an useful tool for the presentation of heterologous proteins on
cell surfaces of indigenous microbes. The engineered P. putida JS444 degraded organophosphates (OPs) as well as PNP rapidly and could be easily monitored by fluorescence. Parathion (100 mg kg−1) could be degraded completely within 15 days in soil inoculated with the engineered strain. These merits make this engineered
strain an ideal biocatalyst for in situ bioremediation of OP-contaminated soil. 相似文献

In this study, the catabolic pathway required for the degradation of the biogenic amine histamine (Hin) was genetically and biochemically characterized in Pseudomonas putida U. The 11 proteins (HinABCDGHFLIJK) that participate in this pathway are encoded by genes belonging to three loci hin1, hin2 and hin3 and by the gene hinK. The enzymes HinABCD catalyze the transport and oxidative deamination of histamine to 4‐imidazoleacetic acid (ImAA). This reaction is coupled to those of other well‐known enzymatic systems (DadXAR and CoxBA‐C) that ensure both the recovery of the pyruvate required for Hin deamination and the genesis of the energy needed for Hin uptake. The proteins HinGHFLKIJ catalyze the sequential transformation of ImAA to fumaric acid via N2‐formylisoasparagine, formylaspartic acid and aspartic acid. The identified Hin pathway encompasses all the genes and proteins (transporters, energizing systems, catabolic enzymes and regulators) needed for the biological degradation of Hin. Our work was facilitated by the design and isolation of genetically engineered strains that degrade Hin or ImAA and of mutants that accumulate Ala, Asp and Hin catabolites. The implications of this research with respect to potential biotechnological applications are discussed. 相似文献

Farnesol (FOH) production has been carried out in metabolically engineered Escherichia coli. FOH is formed through the depyrophosphorylation of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), which is synthesized from isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) by FPP synthase. In order to increase FPP synthesis, E. coli was metabolically engineered to overexpress ispA and to utilize the foreign mevalonate (MVA) pathway for the efficient synthesis of IPP and DMAPP. Two‐phase culture using a decane overlay of the culture broth was applied to reduce volatile loss of FOH produced during culture and to extract FOH from the culture broth. A FOH production of 135.5 mg/L was obtained from the recombinant E. coli harboring the pTispA and pSNA plasmids for ispA overexpression and MVA pathway utilization, respectively. It is interesting to observe that a large amount of FOH could be produced from E. coli without FOH synthase by the augmentation of FPP synthesis. Introduction of the exogenous MVA pathway enabled the dramatic production of FOH by E. coli while no detectable FOH production was observed in the endogenous MEP pathway‐only control. Biotechnol.

Benzoic acid (BA) is an important platform aromatic compound in chemical industry and is widely used as food preservatives in its salt forms. Yet, current manufacture of BA is dependent on petrochemical processes under harsh conditions. Here we report the de novo production of BA from glucose using metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains harboring a plant-like β-oxidation pathway or a newly designed synthetic pathway. First, three different natural BA biosynthetic pathways originated from plants and one synthetically designed pathway were systemically assessed for BA production from glucose by in silico flux response analyses. The selected plant-like β-oxidation pathway and the synthetic pathway were separately established in E. coli by expressing the genes encoding the necessary enzymes and screened heterologous enzymes under optimal plasmid configurations. BA production was further optimized by applying several metabolic engineering strategies to the engineered E. coli strains harboring each metabolic pathway, which included enhancement of the precursor availability, removal of competitive reactions, transporter engineering, and reduction of byproduct formation. Lastly, fed-batch fermentations of the final engineered strain harboring the β-oxidation pathway and the strain harboring the synthetic pathway were conducted, which resulted in the production of 2.37 ± 0.02 g/L and 181.0 ± 5.8 mg/L of BA from glucose, respectively; the former being the highest titer reported by microbial fermentation. The metabolic engineering strategies developed here will be useful for the production of related aromatics of high industrial interest. 相似文献

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 strain was investigated for biosynthesis of the valuable xanthophyll zeaxanthin. A new plasmid was constructed harboring
five carotenogenic genes from Pantoea ananatis and three genes from Escherichia coli under control of an l-rhamnose-inducible promoter. Pseudomonas putida KT2440 wild type hardly tolerated the plasmids for carotenoid production. Mating experiments with E. coli S17-1 strains revealed that the carotenoid products are toxic to the Pseudomonas putida cells. Several carotenoid-tolerant transposon mutants could be isolated, and different gene targets for relief of carotenoid
toxicity were identified. After optimization of cultivation conditions and product processing, 51 mg/l zeaxanthin could be
produced, corresponding to a product yield of 7 mg zeaxanthin per gram cell dry weight. The effect of various additives on
production of hydrophobic zeaxanthin was investigated as well. Particularly, the addition of lecithin during cell cultivation
increased volumetric productivity of Pseudomonas putida by a factor of 4.7 (51 mg/l vs. 239 mg/l). 相似文献
