Two-stage pH Control Mode in Batch Fermentation of a Novel Bioflocculant from Corynebacterium Glutamicum

The effect of pH of the fermentation medium on cell growth and the production of a novel bioflocculant(named REA-11) by Corynebacterium glutamicum CCTCC M201005 were investigated. The maximum biomass(2.23 g/L) and flocculating activity(142.2 U/mL) were simultaneously obtained at the 14th hour when the pH value of the culture medium was maintained at 7.0 during the whole fermentation process. The production of REA-11 kept on a trend of increase till the later phase of fermentation process, which resulted in the ultimate flocculating activity of the culture broth to enhance to nearly 100 U/mL at pH 6.0. A two-stage pH control mode was adopted in REA-11 production in which the pH value of the culture medium was controlled at 7.0 during the first 14 h, then decreased to 6.0 that was maintained until the end of the fermentation process. With the two-stage pH control mode, the maximum flocculating activity reached 178.8 U/mL which was 30% higher than that obtained under the condition of pH 7.0 and the biomass enhanced about 15%. Compared with the fermentation process without pH control, REA-11 production and cell growth via the two-stage pH control mode increased 80% and 25%, respectively.

Engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum to Enhance L-ornithine Production by Gene Knockout and Comparative Proteomic Analysis

Engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum was constructed for L-ornithine production by disrupting genes of argF and proB to prevent the flux away from L-ornithine.Effect of the inactivation of 2-oxoglutarate de-hydrogenase complex(ODHC) on L-ornithine production was also investigated.It was found that the inactivation of ODHC by knockout of the kgd gene enhanced L-ornithine production.The engineered C.glutamicum ATCC13032(ΔargFΔproBΔkgd) produced L-ornithine up to 4.78 g·L-1 from 0.24 g·L-1 of the wild-type strain.In order to understand the mechanism of L-ornithine production in C.glutamicum ATCC13032(ΔargFΔproBΔkgd) and find out new strategies for further enhancing L-ornithine production,the comparative proteome between the wild-type and the engineered strain was analyzed.L-Ornithine overproduction in the engineered strain was related to the up-regulation of the expression levels of enzymes involved in L-ornithine biosynthesis pathway and down-regulation of the expression levels of proteins involved in pentose phosphate pathway.The overexpression of genes in the upstream pathway of glutamate to increase the availability of endogenous glutamate may further in-crease ornithine production in the engineered C.glutamicum and the ornithine synthesis enzymes(ArgCJBD) may not be the limiting enzymes in the engineered C.glutamicum.

Three-stage fermentation and kinetic modeling of bioflocculant by Corynebacterium glutamicum

Fermentation of bioflocculant with Corynebacterium glutamicum was studied by way of kinetic modeling.Lorentzian modified Logistic model, time-corrected Luedeking–Piret and Luedeking–Piret type models were proposed and applied to describe the cell growth, bioflocculant synthesis and consumption of substrates, with the correlation of initial biomass concentration and initial glucose concentration, respectively. The results showed that these models could well characterize the batch culture process of C. glutamicum at various initial glucose concentrations from 10.0 to 17.5 g·L-1. The initial biomass concentration could shorten the lag time of cell growth,while the maximum biomass concentration was achieved only at the optimal initial glucose concentration of16.22 g·L-1. A novel three-stage fed-batch strategy for bioflocculant production was developed based on the model prediction, in which the lag phase, quick biomass growth and bioflocculant production stages were sequentially proceeded with the adjustment of glucose concentration and dissolved oxygen. Biomass of2.23 g·L-1was obtained and bioflocculant concentration was enhanced to 176.32 mg·L-1, 18.62% and403.63% higher than those in the batch process, respectively, indicating an efficient fed-batch culture strategy for bioflocculant production.

Engineering Corynebacterium glutamicum for Geraniol Production

Geraniol is a monoterpenoid alcohol with various applications in food,cosmetics,and healthcare.Corynebacterium glutamicum is a potential platform for terpenoids production because it harbors the methylerythritol phosphate pathway.To engineer C.glutamicum to produce geraniol,two different truncated geraniol synthases (GESs) were respectively expressed,and strain LX02 expressing the truncated GESs from Valeriana officinalis (t Vo GES) produced 0.3 mg/L of geraniol.Then,three geranyl diphosphate synthases (GPPSs) were combinatorially co-expressed with t Vo GES to improve geraniol production.The amounts of produced geraniol were all higher than that produced by strain LX02.Strain LX03 co-expressing ERG20 F96W–N127W (ERG20 WW) and t Vo GES produced the highest amount,5.4 mg/L.Subsequently,the co-overexpression of1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (dxs) and isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (idi) further increased the production to 12.2 mg/L in strain LX03.Lastly,the production of geraniol was increased to 15.2 mg/L via fermentation optimization.To our knowledge,this is the first report on the engineering of C.glutamicum to produce geraniol and thus can serve as a reference for other monoterpenoid production studies.

Enhancement of polymyxin B1 production by an artificial microbial consortium of Paenibacillus polymyxa and recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum producing precursor amino acids

Polymyxin B,produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa,is used as the last line of defense clinically.In this study,exogenous mixture of precursor amino acids increased the level and proportion of polymyxin B1 in the total of polymyxin B analogs of P.polymyxa CJX518-AC(PPAC)from 0.15 g/L and 61.8%to 0.33 g/L and 79.9%,respectively.The co-culture of strain PPAC and recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum-leu01,which produces high levels of threonine,leucine,and isoleucine,increased polymyxin B1 production to 0.64 g/L.When strains PPAC and C.glu-leu01 simultaneously inoculated into an optimized medium with 20 g/L peptone,polymyxin B1 production was increased to 0.97 g/L.Furthermore,the polymyxin B1 production in the co-culture of strains PPAC and C.glu-leu01 increased to 2.21 g/L after optimized inoculation ratios and fermentation medium with 60 g/L peptone.This study provides a new strategy to improve polymyxin B1 production.

Efficient biosynthesis of creatine by whole-cell catalysis from guanidinoacetic acid in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Creatine is a naturally occurring derivative of an amino acid commonly utilized in functional foods and pharmaceuticals.Nevertheless,the current industrial synthesis of creatine relies on chemical processes,which may hinder its utilization in certain applications.Therefore,a biological approach was devised that employs whole-cell biocatalysis in the bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum,which is considered safe for use in food production,to produce safe-for-consumption creatine.The objective of this study was to identify a guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase(GAMT)with superior catalytic activity for creatine production.Through employing whole-cell biocatalysis,a gamt gene from Mus caroli(Mcgamt)was cloned and expressed in C.glutamicum ATCC 13032,resulting in a creatine titer of 3.37 g/L.Additionally,the study employed a promoter screening strategy that utilized nine native strong promoters in C.glutamicum to enhance the expression level of GAMT.The highest titer was achieved using the P1676 promoter,reaching 4.14 g/L.The conditions of whole-cell biocatalysis were further optimized,resulting in a creatine titer of 5.42 g/L.This is the first report of successful secretory creatine expression in C.glutamicum,which provides a safer and eco-friendly approach for the industrial production of creatine.

Whole‑cell catalytic synthesis of trehalose by Corynebacterium glutamicum displaying trehalose synthase on its cell surface

Trehalose is a disaccharide with many applications in cosmetics,refrigeration,and food.Trehalose synthase is a significant enzyme in trehalose production.Escherichia coli is usually used to express this enzyme heterologously.Since E.coli is a pathogenic strain,we chose Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 as an engineering strain in this study for food safety reasons.Because of its poor permeability,we constructed two recombinant C.glutamicum strains using two anchor proteins,PorH,and short-length NCgl1337,to anchor trehalose synthase from Streptomyces coelicolor on the cell surface and synthesize trehalose directly from maltose.Studies on enzymatic properties indicated that NCgl1337S–ScTreSK246A had better enzyme activity and thermal stability than the free enzyme.After optimizing the whole-cell transformation,the optimal transformation condition was 35°C,pH 7.0,and OD600 of 30.Under this condition,the conversion rate of 300 g/L maltose reached 69.5%in a 5 L fermentor.The relative conversion rate was still above 75%after repeated five times.

Functional food additives/ingredients production by engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum

为提高谷氨酸棒杆菌发酵产L-谷氨酰胺产量、糖酸转化率、生产强度等技术指标,该文通过响应面法优化了摇瓶发酵培养基中葡萄糖、(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)和玉米浆含量,并利用50 L发酵罐进行分批发酵,构建了菌体生长、底物消耗和产物生成动力学模型,进而在50 L发酵罐中采用两阶段控制pH策略,并通过补加葡萄糖和(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4),协同控制发酵液中碳氮源浓度,促进菌体高效合成L-谷氨酰胺。结果表明,优化后发酵培养基中葡萄糖、(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)和玉米浆含量分别为167、61、31 g/L,摇瓶发酵L-谷氨酰胺产量达到38.13 g/L,较优化前提高了34.12%;50 L发酵罐分批发酵80 h后L-谷氨酰胺产量达42.06 g/L,糖酸转化率达到25.85%,生产强度为0.53 g/(L·h);在50 L发酵罐中基于两阶段pH控制的碳氮源协同补加策略,显著促进了谷氨酸棒杆菌高产L-谷氨酰胺,发酵周期缩短至52 h,L-谷氨酰胺产量达68.01 g/L,糖酸转化率达33.93%,生产强度为1.31 g/(L·h)。该研究对促进L-谷氨酰胺的工业化生产具有重要参考价值。

Metabolic engineering and flux analysis of Corynebacterium glutamicum for L-serine production

L-Serine plays a critical role as a building block for cell growth, and thus it is difficult to achieve the direct fermentation of L-serine from glucose. In this study, Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 was engineered de novo by blocking and at- tenuating the conversion of L-serine to pyruvate and glycine, releasing the feedback inhibition by L-serine to 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase （PGDH）, in combination with the co-expression of 3-phosphoglycerate kinase （PGK） and feedback-resistant PGDH （PGDHr）. The resulting strain, SER-8, exhibited a lower specific growth rate and significant differ- ences in L-serine levels from Phase I to Phase V as determined for fed-batch fermentation. The intracellular L-serine pool reached （14.22_＋1.41） ~trnol gcoM-1, which was higher than glycine pool, contrary to fermentation with the wild-type strain. Furthermore, metabolic flux analysis demonstrated that the over-expression of PGK directed the flux of the pentose phosphate pathway （PPP） towards the glycolysis pathway （EMP）, and the expression of PGDHr improved the L-serine biosynthesis pathway. In addition, the flux from L-serine to glycine dropped by 24%, indicating that the deletion of the activator GlyR re- sulted in down-regulation of serine hydroxymethyltransferase （SHMT） expression. Taken together, our findings imply that L-serine pool management is fundamental for sustaining the viability of C. glutamicum, and improvement of C1 units genera- tion by introducing the glycine cleavage system （GCV） to degrade the excessive glycine is a promising target for L-serine pro- duction in C. glutamicum.

表达元件优化促进重组胶原蛋白在谷氨酸棒杆菌中的表达

重组胶原蛋白是一种具有广泛应用潜力的生物材料,近年来引起了生物医学、组织工程等众多领域的关注。胶原蛋白的3股螺旋结构赋予其独特的生物学功能和生物相容性,但也增加了其在微生物系统中表达的复杂性。该研究以细菌胶原蛋白V-B作为模式蛋白,通过对表达元件的优化,促进重组胶原蛋白在谷氨酸棒杆菌中的表达。首先通过启动子筛选和发酵时长优化,获得介导V-B表达的最优启动子tac-R0。接着利用RBS calculator设计核糖体结合位点(ribosomal binding site,RBS)和间隔序列(aligned spacing,AS)的突变文库,得到与tac-R0启动子搭配组合的最优RBS和AS,使V-B的产量提高至514 mg/L。此外,通过多基因表达盒的串联组合策略,将多个目的基因串联,最终V-B的产量较初始水平提高了8.4倍,达697 mg/L,该研究为重组胶原蛋白的工业化生产提供了基础。

Key enzymes of the protocatechuate branch of the β-ketoadipate pathway for aromatic degradation in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Although the protocatechuate branch of the β-ketoadipate pathway in Gram- bacte- ria has been well studied, this branch is less understood in Gram+ bacteria. In this study, Cory- nebacterium glutamicum was cultivated with protocatechuate, p-cresol, vanillate and 4-hydroxybenzoate as sole carbon and energy sources for growth. Enzymatic assays indicated that growing cells on these aromatic compounds exhibited protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase activities. Data-mining of the genome of this bacterium revealed that the genetic locus ncg12314-ncg12315 encoded a putative protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase. The genes, ncg12314 and ncg12315, were amplified by PCR technique and were cloned into plasmid (pET21aP34D). Recombinant Escherichia coli strain harboring this plasmid actively expressed protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase activity. Further, when this locus was disrupted in C. glu- tamicum, the ability to degrade and assimilate protocatechuate, p-cresol, vanillate or 4-hydroxybenzoate was lost and protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase activity was disappeared. The ability to grow with these aromatic compounds and protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase activity of C. glutamicum mutant could be restored by gene complementation. Thus, it is clear that the key enzyme for ring-cleavage, protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase, was encoded by ncg12314 and ncg12315. The additional genes involved in the protocatechuate branch of the β-ketoadipate pathway were identified by mining the genome data publically available in the GenBank. The functional identification of genes and their unique organization in C. glutamicum provided new insight into the genetic diversity of aromatic compound degradation.

Production of L-glutamate family amino acids in Corynebacterium glutamicum:Physiological mechanism,genetic modulation,and prospects

L-glutamate family amino acids(GFAAs),consisting of L-glutamate,L-arginine,L-citrulline,L-ornithine,L-proline,L-hydroxyproline,γ-aminobutyric acid,and 5-aminolevulinic acid,are widely applied in the food,pharmaceutical,cosmetic,and animal feed industries,accounting for billions of dollars of market activity.These GFAAs have many functions,including being protein constituents,maintaining the urea cycle,and providing precursors for the biosynthesis of pharmaceuticals.Currently,the production of GFAAs mainly depends on microbial fermentation using Corynebacterium glutamicum(including its related subspecies Corynebacterium crenatum),which is substantially engineered through multistep metabolic engineering strategies.This review systematically summarizes recent advances in the metabolic pathways,regulatory mechanisms,and metabolic engineering strategies for GFAA accumulation in C.glutamicum and C.crenatum,which provides insights into the recent progress in L-glutamate-derived chemical production.

Metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum S9114 based on whole-genome sequencing for efficient N-acetylglucosamine synthesis

Glucosamine(GlcN)and its acetylated derivative N-acetylglucosamine(GlcNAc)are widely used in the pharmaceutical industries.Here,we attempted to achieve efficient production of GlcNAc via genomic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum.Specifically,we ligated the GNA1 gene,which converts GlcN-6-phosphate to GlcNAc-6-phosphate by transferring the acetyl group in Acetyl-CoA to the amino group of GlcN-6-phosphate,into the plasmid pJYW4 and then transformed this recombinant vector into the C.glutamicum ATCC 13032,ATCC 13869,ATCC 14067,and S9114 strains,and we assessed the GlcNAc titers at 0.5 g/L,1.2 g/L,0.8 g/L,and 3.1 g/L from each strain,respectively.This suggested that there were likely to be significant differences among the key genes in the glutamate and GlcNAc synthesis pathways of these C.glutamicum strains.Therefore,we performed whole genome sequencing of the S9114 strain,which has not been previously published,and found that there are many differences among the genes in the glutamate and GlcNAc synthesis pathways among the four strains tested.Next,nagA(encoding GlcNAc-6-phosphate deacetylase)and gamA(encoding GlcN-6-phosphate deaminase)were deleted in C.glutamicum S9114 to block the catabolism of intracellular GlcNAc,leading to a 54.8%increase in GlcNAc production(from 3.1 to 4.8 g/L)when grown in a shaker flask.In addition,lactate synthesis was blocked by knockout of ldh(encoding lactate dehydrogenase);thus,further increasing the GlcNAc titer to 5.4 g/L.Finally,we added a key gene of the GlcN synthetic pathway,glmS,from different sources into the expression vector pJYW-4-ceN,and the resulting recombinant strain CGGN2-GNA1-CgglmS produced the GlcNAc titer of 6.9 g/L.This is the first report concerning the metabolic engineering of C.glutamicum,and the results of this study provide a good starting point for further metabolic engineering to achieve industrial-scale production of GlcNAc.

Development of a novel platform for recombinant protein production in Corynebacterium glutamicum on ethanol

Corynebacterium glutamicum represents an emerging recombinant protein expression factory due to its ideal features for protein secretion,but its applicability is harmed by the lack of an autoinduction system with tight regulation and high yield.Here,we propose a new recombinant protein manufacturing platform that leverages ethanol as both a delayed carbon source and an inducer.First,we reanalysed the native inducible promoter PICL from the acetate uptake operon and found that its limited capacity is the result of the inadequate translation initial architecture.The two strategies of bicistronic design and ribozyme-based insulator can ensure the high activity of this promoter.Next,through transcriptional engineering that alters transcription factor binding sites(TFBSs)and the first transcribed sequence,the truncated promoter PA256 with a dramatically higher transcription level was generated.When producing the superfolder green fluorescent protein(sfGFP)under 1%ethanol conditions,PA256 exhibited substantially lower protein accumulation in prophase but an approximately 2.5-fold greater final yield than the strong promoter PH36.This superior expression mode was further validated using two secreted proteins,camelid antibody fragment(VHH)and endoxylanase(XynA).Furthermore,utilizing CRISPRi technology,ethanol utilization blocking strains were created,and PA256 was shown to be impaired in the phosphotransacetylase(PTA)knockdown strains,indicating that ethanol metabolism into the tricarboxylic acid cycle is required for PA256 upregulation.Finally,this platform was applied to produce the“de novo design”protein NEO-2/15,and by introducing the N-propeptide of CspB,NEO-2/15 was effectively secreted with the accumulation 281 mg/L obtained after 24 h of shake-flask fermentation.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first report of NEO-2/15 secretory overexpression.
