[Metabolic engineering of for the production of cadaverine].

Cadaverine is a fundamental C5 building block in the production of polyamides. Due to the limited regeneration efficiency of intracellular pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the current fermentation-based production of cadaverine exhibits low efficiency. In this study, we developed an strain L01 by introducing lysine decarboxylase (lysine decarboxylase, LDC, a key enzyme in the synthesis of cadaverine) into a lysine-producing strain . LY-4, achieving a cadaverine tier of 1.07 g/L in shake flask fermentation. Subsequently, a dual metabolic pathway enhancement strategy was proposed to synergistically strengthen both endogenous and exogenous PLP synthesis modules, thereby improving intracellular PLP synthesis. The optimized strain L11 achieved a cadaverine titer of 9.23 g/L in shake flask fermentation. Finally, the fermentation process for cadaverine production by strain L11 was optimized in a 5 L fermenter. After 48 h of fed-batch fermentation, the engineered strain L11 achieved the cadaverine titer, yield, and productivity of 54.43 g/L, 0.22 g/g, and 1.13 g/(L·h), respectively. This study provides a theoretical and technical foundation for establishing microbial cell factories for bioamine production.
