제목 Phenol production from glucose via metabolically engineered Escherichia coli
초록 Microbial production of phenol, a commodity petrochemical, from renewable resources has been restricted due to its toxicity to microbes. Herein, we employed the synthetic regulatory sRNA technology to simultaneously engineer 18 Escherichia coli strains for the production of phenol. Specifically, sRNA-based knock-down of two regulators and overexpression of the tyrosine biosynthetic pathway genes together with tyrosine phenol-lyase in E. coli strains resulted in the production of phenol from glucose. Biphasic fed-batch fermentation using glycerol tributyrate as an extractant of phenol increased the final titer and productivity up to 3.79 g/L and 0.18 g/L/h, respectively. This is the highest titer achieved by microbial fermentation.
