A lactate producing derivative of Escherichia coli KO11, strain SZ110, was re-engineered for ethanol production by deleting genes encoding all fermentative routes for NADH and randomly inserting a promoterless mini-Tn5 cassette (transpososome) containing the complete Zymomonas mobilis ethanol pathway (pdc, adhA, and adhB) into the chromosome. By selecting for fermentative growth in mineral salts medium containing xylose, a highly productive strain was isolated in which the ethanol cassette had been integrated behind the rrlE promoter, designated strain LY160(KO11, Deltafrd::celY(Ec) DeltaadhE DeltaldhA, DeltaackA lacA::casAB(Ko) rrlE::(pdc( Zm)-adhA(Zm)-adhB(Zm)-FRT-rrlE)pflB(+)). This strain fermented 9% (w/v) xylose to 4% (w/v) ethanol in 48 h in mineral salts medium, nearly equal to the performance of KO11 with Luria broth.
大肠杆菌KO11的产乳酸衍生物菌株SZ110,通过删除编码所有NADH发酵途径的基因,并将含有完整运动发酵单胞菌乙醇途径(pdc、adhA和adhB)的无启动子mini-Tn5盒(转座体)随机插入染色体,进行了乙醇生产的基因工程改造。通过在含木糖的矿物盐培养基中选择发酵生长,分离出了一个高产菌株,其中乙醇盒已整合到rrlE启动子之后,命名为菌株LY160(KO11,Deltafrd::celY(Ec) DeltaadhE DeltaldhA,DeltaackA lacA::casAB(Ko) rrlE::(pdc(Zm)-adhA(Zm)-adhB(Zm)-FRT-rrlE)pflB(+))。该菌株在矿物盐培养基中48小时内将9%(w/v)的木糖发酵为4%(w/v)的乙醇,几乎与KO11在Luria肉汤中的表现相当。
