Project description:Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is an extremely thermophilic, gram-positive anaerobe which ferments a broad range of substrates to mainly acetate, CO2, and hydrogen gas (H2). Its high hydrogen-producing capacity make this bacterium an attractive candidate for microbial biohydrogen production. However, increased H2 levels tend to inhibit hydrogen formation and leads to the formation of other reduced end products like lactate and ethanol. To investigate the organism’s strategy for dealing with elevated H2 levels and to identify alternative pathways involved in the disposal of the reducing equivalents, the effect of the hydrogen partial pressure (PH2) on fermentation performance was studied. For this purpose cultures were grown under high and low PH2 in a glucose limited chemostat setup. Transcriptome analysis revealed the up-regulation of genes involved in the disposal of reducing equivalents under high PH2, like lactate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase as well as the NADH-dependent and ferredoxin-dependent hydrogenases. These findings were in line with the observed shift in fermentation profiles from acetate production under low PH2 to a mixed production of acetate, lactate and ethanol under high PH2. In addition, differential transcription was observed for genes involved in carbon metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis and several transport systems. The presented transcription data provides experimental evidence for the involvement of the redox sensing Rex protein in gene regulation under high PH2 cultivation conditions. Overall, these findings indicate that the PH2 dependent changes in the fermentation pattern of C. saccharolyticus are, in addition to the known regulation at the enzyme/metabolite level, also regulated at the transcription level.

Two conditions: low H2 partial pressure and high H2 partial pressure, both at steady state growth were harvested for a dye-flip microarray experimental design. Biological replicates were harvested for both conditions and combined prior to cDNA synthesis. Both conditions were labeled with cy3 and cy5 dyes allowing for a technical replicate of hybridization in addition to the biological replicates.

Project description:The dicarboxylic acid glutarate is gaining attention in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry as promising building-block. Synthesis of glutarate via microbial fermentation is a desirable aim which will allow the production of biopolymers avoiding fossil raw materials. Here, by rational metabolic engineering of the biofactory microorganism Corynebacterium glutamicum the fermentative production of glutarate from glucose was established. Modifications focused on increase glucose consumption and reduce by-products formation together with the heterologous overexpression of the L-lysine decarboxylase, putrescine transaminase and putrescine dehydrogenase genes from E. coli in the L-lysine producer GRLys1 allowed production the glutarate precursor 5-aminovalerate. Additional heterologous overexpression of 5-aminovalerate amino transferase and glutarate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase genes from C. glutamicum and three Pseudomonas species enabled glutarate synthesis from glucose. By coupling glutarate production with the glutamate synthesis of C. glutamicum glutarate titer improved 10%. The final strain was tested in a glucose-based fed-batch fermentation
