This study demonstrates that increased NADPH production can improve biomass and ethanol production in cyanobacteria. We over-expressed the endogenous zwf gene, which encodes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of pentose phosphate pathway, in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. zwf over-expression resulted in increased NADPH production, and promoted biomass production compared to the wild type in both autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions. Ethanol production pathway including NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase was also integrated with and without zwf over-expression. Excessive NADPH production by zwf over-expression could improve both biomass and ethanol production in the autotrophic conditions.
本研究表明,增加 NADPH 的产生可以提高蓝藻的生物量和乙醇产量。我们在模式蓝藻集胞藻 PCC 6803 中过表达了编码戊糖磷酸途径葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶的内源 zwf 基因。zwf 的过表达导致 NADPH 的产生增加,并且与野生型相比,在自养和混合营养条件下都促进了生物量的产生。包括 NADPH 依赖的醇脱氢酶在内的乙醇生产途径也被整合到有无 zwf 过表达的情况下。zwf 过表达产生的过多 NADPH 可以提高自养条件下的生物量和乙醇产量。
