Xylose is a major component of lignocellulose and the second most abundant sugar present in nature after glucose; it, therefore, has been considered to be a promising renewable resource for the production of biofuels and chemicals. However, no natural cyanobacterial strain is known capable of utilizing xylose. Here, we take the fast-growing cyanobacteria Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 as an example to develop the synthetic biology-based methodology of constructing a new xylose-utilizing cyanobacterial chassis with increased acetyl-CoA for bioproduction.
木糖是木质纤维素的主要成分,也是自然界中仅次于葡萄糖的第二大丰富糖;因此,它被认为是生产生物燃料和化学品的有前途的可再生资源。然而,目前还没有已知的天然蓝藻菌株能够利用木糖。在这里,我们以快速生长的蓝藻集胞藻 UTEX 2973 为例,开发基于合成生物学的方法,构建具有更多乙酰辅酶 A 的新型木糖利用蓝藻底盘,用于生物生产。
