Microbial Production of Lactate-Containing Polymers in Metabolically Engineered Escherichia coli |
초록 |
Polylactic acid (PLA) has been considered as a good alternative to petroleum-based plastic as it possesses several desirable properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and compostability. For biosynthesis of PLA, we introduced the heterologous metabolic pathways including evolved propionyl-CoA transferase and PHA synthase and engineered based on in silico genome-scale metabolic flux analysis. Several target genes were inactivated and reinforced to redirect flux toward lactate. It resulted in enhanced synthesis of PLA and P(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-LA) in E. coli. In this study, the strategy of combined systems-level metabolic engineering and enzyme engineering allowed one-step production of PLA and its copolymers in E. coli.
