L-valine is a valuable amino acid in mammals that is used as the main component of feed additives. The low efficiency of the fermentation titer limits the industrial application of L-valine. Here, an L-valine-producing strain of Escherichia coli was obtained using a multi-modular strategy. Initially, a chassis strain was generated by mutagenesis and high-throughput screening. The L-valine biosynthetic pathway and transport module were modified to improve the L-valine titer. Subsequently, the transcription factors associated with L-valine biosynthesis were investigated. Overexpression of PdhR and inhibition of the expression of RpoS promoted L-valine synthesis. Finally, the NADPH supply was enhanced after the introduction of the heterologous Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway from Zymomonas mobilis. The strain VAL38 produced 92 g/L L-valine in a 5-L bioreactor with a yield of 0.34 g/g glucose. This strategy is provided as a reference for improving the production performance of cell factories for L-valine and its derivatives.
L-缬氨酸是哺乳动物中一种有价值的氨基酸,可用作饲料添加剂的主要成分。发酵产率低限制了 L-缬氨酸的工业应用。在这里,我们采用多模块策略获得了一株产 L-缬氨酸的大肠杆菌菌株。首先,通过诱变和高通量筛选生成底盘菌株。然后修饰 L-缬氨酸生物合成途径和转运模块以提高 L-缬氨酸产量。接下来,研究了与 L-缬氨酸生物合成相关的转录因子。过表达 PdhR 和抑制 RpoS 的表达促进了 L-缬氨酸的合成。最后,通过引入来自运动发酵单胞菌的异源 Entner-Doudoroff(ED)途径增强了 NADPH 的供应。在 5-L 生物反应器中,VAL38 菌株生产 92 g/L L-缬氨酸,葡萄糖得率为 0.34 g/g。该策略为提高 L-缬氨酸及其衍生物的细胞工厂生产性能提供了参考。
