In the present work, lysine production by Corynebacterium glutamicum was improved by metabolic engineering of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The 70% decreased activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase, achieved by start codon exchange, resulted in a >40% improved lysine production. By flux analysis, this could be correlated to a flux shift from the TCA cycle toward anaplerotic carboxylation.
在本工作中,通过代谢工程改造三羧酸(TCA)循环提高了谷氨酸棒杆菌的赖氨酸产量。通过起始密码子替换使异柠檬酸脱氢酶的活性降低了 70%,导致赖氨酸产量提高了超过 40%。通过通量分析,这可以与从 TCA 循环向补料羧化的通量转移相关联。
