[Metabolic engineering of for 1, 3-propanediol production].

1, 3-propanediol is an important monomer for the production of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). Currently, it is mainly produced by microbial fermentation, which, however, has low production efficiency. To address this problem, this study employed atmospheric room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis technology and high-throughput screening to obtain a strain with high tolerance to osmotic pressure, which achieved a 1, 3-propanediol titer of 87 g/L. Furthermore, the gene expression elements suitable for were screened, and metabolic engineering was employed to block redundant metabolic pathways (deletion of , , and ) and enhance the synthesis pathway (overexpression of and ). The titer of 1, 3-propanediol produced by the engineered strain increased to 107 g/L. Finally, in a 5 L fermenter, the optimal strain KP-FMME-6 achieved a 1, 3-propanediol titer of 118 g/L, with a glycerol conversion rate of 42% and productivity of 2.46 g/(h·L), after optimization of the fermentation parameters. This study provides a reference for the industrial production of 1, 3-propanediol.
