Biotechnological production of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD), a versatile platform bio-chemical and a potential biofuel, is limited due to by-product toxicity. In this study, we aimed to redirect the metabolic flux toward 2,3-BD in () by increasing the intracellular NADH pool. Increasing the NADH/NAD ratio by knocking out the NADH dehydrogenase genes (/) enhanced 2,3-BD production by up to 67% compared with wild-type . When lactate dehydrogenase () was knocked out, the yield of 2,3-BD was increased by 71.2% compared to the wild type. Metabolic flux analysis revealed that upregulated expression of the sRNA RyhB led to a noteworthy shift in metabolism. The 2,3-BD titer of the best mutant Ea-2 was almost seven times higher than that of the parent strain in a 5-L fermenter. In this study, an effective metabolic engineering strategy for improved 2,3-BD production was implemented by increasing the NADH/NAD ratio and blocking competing pathways.
2,3-丁二醇(2,3-BD)是一种用途广泛的平台生物化学品和潜在生物燃料,其生物技术生产因副产物毒性而受到限制。在本研究中,我们旨在通过增加细胞内NADH库,将代谢通量重定向至()中的2,3-丁二醇。与野生型()相比,通过敲除NADH脱氢酶基因(/)提高NADH/NAD比率,使2,3-丁二醇产量提高了67%。当敲除乳酸脱氢酶()时,与野生型相比,2,3-丁二醇产量提高了71.2%。代谢通量分析表明,sRNA RyhB的上调表达导致了代谢的显著转变。在5-L发酵罐中,最佳突变体Ea-2的2,3-丁二醇滴度几乎比亲本菌株高七倍。在本研究中,通过提高NADH/NAD比率和阻断竞争途径,实施了一种有效的代谢工程策略来提高2,3-丁二醇的产量。
