Efficient whole-cell catalysis for 5-aminovalerate production from L-lysine by using engineered Escherichia coli with ethanol pretreatment.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms can utilize biomass to produce valuable chemicals, showing sustainable, renewable and economic advantages compared with traditional chemical synthesis. As a potential five-carbon platform polymer monomer, 5-aminovalerate has been widely used in industrial fields such as clothes and disposable goods. Here we establish an efficient whole-cell catalysis for 5-aminovalerate production with ethanol pretreatment. In this study, the metabolic pathway from L-lysine to 5-aminovalerate was constructed at the cellular level by introducing L-lysine ?-oxidase. The newly produced H2O2 and added ethanol both are toxic to the cells, obviously inhibiting their growth. Here, a promising strategy of whole-cell catalysis with ethanol pretreatment is proposed, which greatly improves the yield of 5-aminovalerate. Subsequently, the effects of ethanol pretreatment, substrate concentration, reaction temperature, pH value, metal ion additions and hydrogen peroxide addition on the whole-cell biocatalytic efficiency were investigated. Using 100?g/L of L-lysine hydrochloride as raw material, 50.62?g/L of 5-aminovalerate could be excellently produced via fed-batch bioconversion with the yield of 0.84?mol/mol. The results show that a fast, environmentally friendly and efficient production of 5-aminovalerate was established after introducing the engineered whole-cell biocatalysts. This strategy, combined with ethanol pretreatment, can not only greatly enhance the yield of 5-aminovalerate but also be applied to the biosynthesis of other valuable chemicals.

Project description:BackgroundMicrobial production of naringenin has received much attention owing to its pharmaceutical applicability and potential as a key molecular scaffold for various flavonoids. In the microbial fermentation, a cheap and abundant feedstock is required to achieve an economically feasible bioprocess. From this perspective, utilizing acetate for naringenin production could be an effective strategy, with the advantages of both low-cost and abundant feedstock. For the efficient production of naringenin using acetate, identification of the appropriate regulatory node of carbon flux in the biosynthesis of naringenin from acetate would be important. While acetyl-CoA is a key precursor for naringenin production, carbon flux between the TCA cycle and anaplerosis is effectively regulated at the isocitrate node through glyoxylate shunt in acetate metabolism. Accordingly, appropriate rerouting of TCA cycle intermediates from anaplerosis into naringenin biosynthesis via acetyl-CoA replenishment would be required.ResultsThis study identified the isocitrate and oxaloacetate (OAA) nodes as key regulatory nodes for the naringenin production using acetate. Precise rerouting at the OAA node for enhanced acetyl-CoA was conducted, avoiding extensive loss of OAA by fine-tuning the expression of pckA (encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase) with flux redistribution between naringenin biosynthesis and cell growth at the isocitrate node. Consequently, the flux-optimized strain exhibited a significant increase in naringenin production, a 27.2-fold increase (with a 38.3-fold increase of naringenin yield on acetate) over that by the unoptimized strain, producing 97.02 mg/L naringenin with 21.02 mg naringenin/g acetate, which is a competitive result against those in previous studies on conventional substrates, such as glucose.ConclusionsCollectively, we demonstrated efficient flux rerouting for maximum naringenin production from acetate in E. coli. This study was the first attempt of naringenin production from acetate and suggested the potential of biosynthesis of various flavonoids derived from naringenin using acetate.
