An efficient production of bio-succinate in a novel metabolically engineered Klebsiella oxytoca by rational metabolic engineering and evolutionary adaptation.

Klebsiella oxytoca KC004 (ΔadhEΔpta-ackAΔldhAΔbudABΔpflB) was engineered to enhance succinate production. The strain exhibited poor growth without succinate production due to its deficiencies in ATP production and NADH reoxidation. To overcome obstacles, evolutionary adaptation with over 6,000 generations of growth-based selection was conducted.

Engineering Escherichia coli for a high yield of 1,3-propanediol near the theoretical maximum through chromosomal integration and gene deletion.

Glycerol dehydratase (gdrAB-dhaB123) operon from Klebsiella pneumoniae and NADPH-dependent 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase (yqhD) from Escherichia coli were stably integrated on the chromosomal DNA of E. coli under the control of the native-host ldhA and pflB constitutive promoters, respectively. The developed E.

Combining metabolic engineering and evolutionary adaptation in Klebsiella oxytoca KMS004 to significantly improve optically pure D-(-)-lactic acid yield and specific productivity in low nutrient medium.

In this study, K. oxytoca KMS004 (ΔadhE Δpta-ackA) was further reengineered by the deletion of frdABCD and pflB genes to divert carbon flux through D-(-)-lactate production. During fermentation of high glucose concentration, the resulted strain named K.

Evaluation of inhibitory effect and feasible utilization of dilute acid-pretreated rice straws on succinate production by metabolically engineered Escherichia coli AS1600a.

This work demonstrated a pioneer work in the pre-treatment of rice straw by phosphoric acid (HPO) for succinate production. The optimized pre-treatment condition of rice straw was at 121 °C for 30 min with 2 N HPO. With this condition, total sugar concentration of 31.
