Abstract: | To evaluate the strategy of supplying ribose 5-phosphate to the purine-nucleotide pathway exclusively via the nonoxidative
route, the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene zwf was disrupted in inosine- and 5′-xanthylic acid-producers of Corynebacterium ammoniagenes. In both producers, interruption of the oxidative route caused a decrease in production yields of about 50%. Attempts to
increase the capacity of the nonoxidative route through overexpression of the transketolase or transaldolase gene in the zwf mutants led to no discernable effects on production, indicating that, in C. ammoniagenes, the nonoxidative route alone cannot provide sufficient ribose 5-phosphate for high-level production, although nonoxidative
synthesis of the precursor is possible.
