Individual deletions of acs and aceA genes in E. coli B (BL21) showed little difference in the metabolite accumulation patterns but deletion of the ackA gene alone or together with pta showed acetic acid gradually accumulated to 3.1 and 1.7 g/l, respectively, with a minimal extended lag in bacterial growth and a higher pyruvate formation. Single poxB deletion in E. coli B (BL21) or additional poxB deletion in the ackA-pta mutants did not change the acetate accumulation pattern. When the acetate production genes (ackA-pta-poxB) were deleted in E. coli B (BL21) acetate still accumulated. This may be an indication that perhaps acetate is not only a by-product of carbon metabolism; it is possible that acetate plays also a role in other cellular metabolite pathways. It is likely that there are alternative acetate production pathways.
单个缺失 E. coli B (BL21) 中的 acs 和 aceA 基因在代谢产物积累模式上几乎没有差异,但单独缺失 ackA 基因或同时缺失 ackA 和 pta 基因会导致乙酸逐渐积累到 3.1 和 1.7 g/L,细菌生长的延滞期最小,丙酮酸的形成量更高。在 E. coli B (BL21) 中单独缺失 poxB 基因或在 ackA-pta 突变体中进一步缺失 poxB 基因不会改变乙酸的积累模式。当 E. coli B (BL21) 中的乙酸生成基因 (ackA-pta-poxB) 被缺失时,乙酸仍然会积累。这可能表明,乙酸不仅是碳代谢的副产物;它也可能在其他细胞代谢物途径中发挥作用。很可能存在替代的乙酸生成途径。
