제목 Precise tuning of glyoxylate cycle for efficient conversion of acetate into value-added chemicals
초록 Utilization of abundant and cheap carbon sources can effectively reduce the production cost and enhance the economic feasibility. Acetate is a promising carbon source to achieve cost-effective microbial processes. In this study, we engineered an Escherichia coli strain to produce itaconic acid and tyrosine from acetate. As acetate is known to inhibit cell growth, we initially screened for a strain with a high tolerance to 10 g/L of acetate in the medium. Thereafter, acetate uptake pathway and checmical production pathway were amplified. To further enhance the production, the activity of the glyoxylate cycle was precisely controlled by expression of isocitrate lyase gene under different-strength promoters. As the results, production of itaconic acid and tyrosine could be significantly enhanced and these efforts support that acetate can be a potential feedstock for biochemical production with engineered E. coli.
