ARTP mutagenesis of Aureobasidium pullulans RM1603 for high pullulan production and transcriptome analysis of mutants.

Pullulan is a microbial exopolysaccharide produced by Aureobasidium spp. with excellent physical and chemical properties, resulting in great application value. In this study, a novel strain RM1603 of Aureobasidium pullulans with high pullulan production of 51.

Characteristic analysis and fermentation optimization of a novel Aureobasidium pullulans RM1603 with high pullulan yield.

A high-yielding microbial polysaccharide-producing strain, named RM1603, was isolated from rhizosphere soil and identified by morphological and phylogenetic analysis. The extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) were identified by thin-layer chromatography and infrared spectroscopy. The fermentation conditions were optimized by single factor experiments in shake flasks and a 5-L fermentor.

Systemic metabolic engineering of Enterobacter aerogenes for efficient 2,3-butanediol production.

2,3-Butanediol (2,3-BDO) is an important gateway molecule for many chemical derivatives. Currently, microbial production is gradually being recognized as a green and sustainable alternative to petrochemical synthesis, but the titer, yield, and productivity of microbial 2,3-BDO remain suboptimal. Here, we used systemic metabolic engineering strategies to debottleneck the 2,3-BDO production in Enterobacter aerogenes.

Optimization of hydrogen production in Enterobacter aerogenes by Complex I peripheral fragments destruction and maeA overexpression.

As a concentrated energy source with high added value, hydrogen has great development prospects, with special emphasis on sustainable microbial production as a replacement for traditional fossil fuels. In this study, λ-Red recombination was used to alter the activity of Complex I by single and combined knockout of nuoE, nuoF and nuoG. In addition, the conversion of malic to pyruvic acid was promoted by overexpressing the maeA gene, which could increase the content of NADH and formic acid in the bacterial cells.

Characterization and bioactive component analysis of filamentous bacterium XJ-16.

Actinomycetes, which can produce a variety of bioactive compounds in the metabolic process, is one of the important sources of novel drugs, enzymes, anti-tumor drugs and enzyme inhibitors. It has been the focus of researchers to find and develop with special characters. Strain XJ-16 is a blue alkali-resistant filamentous bacterium with high antimicrobial activity isolated from saline-alkali land of Xinjiang.

Integrated strategy of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing and small RNA RhyB regulation in : A novel protocol for improving biohydrogen production.

Dark fermentation is considered as one of the most practical biological hydrogen production methods. However, current productivity and yield are still not economically viable for industrial applications. This biological process must be improved through multiple strategies, of which screening for more effective microbial strains is an important aspect.

Regulation of carbon flux and NADH/NAD supply to enhance 2,3-butanediol production in Enterobacter aerogenes.

As a valuable platform chemical, 2,3-Butanediol (2,3-BDO) has a variety of industrial applications, and its microbial production is particularly attractive as an alternative to petroleum-based production. In this study, the regulation of intracellular carbon flux and NADH/NAD was used to increase the 2,3-BDO production of Enterobacter aerogenes. The genes encoding lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) and pyruvate formate lyase (pfl) were disrupted using the λ-Red recombination method and CRISPR-Cas9 to reduce the production of several byproducts and the consumption of NADH.
