제목 Circuit-guided synthetic acclimation for improving biochemical production by microbial consortia
초록 Although microbial consortia have been considered potential platforms for bioprocessing applications, the complexity in process control owing to the use of multiple strains necessitates the use of an efficient population control strategy. Herein, we report a novel population control strategy for improving biochemical production by a microbial consortium using circuit-guided synthetic acclimation. As a proof of concept, we designed a consortium comprising alginate-utilizing Vibrio sp. dhg and 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP)-producing Escherichia coli strains for the direct conversion of alginate to 3-HP. We constructed a genetic circuit, named “Population guider”, which degrades ampicillin only when 3-HP is produced. We observed that 3-HP production by an acclimated population increased by 4.3-fold compared to that by a simple co-culturing consortium during a 48-h fermentation. We believe this concept is a useful strategy for the development of robust consortium-based bioprocesses.
