Abstract
2,5-Dimethylpyrazine (2,5-DMP) is important pharmaceutical raw material and food flavoring agent. Recently, engineering microbes to produce 2,5-DMP has become an attractive alternative to chemical synthesis approach. In this study, metabolic engineering strategies were used to optimize the modified Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) strain for efficient synthesis of 2,5-DMP using L-threonine dehydrogenase (EcTDH) from Escherichia coli BL21, NADH oxidase (EhNOX) from Enterococcus hirae, aminoacetone oxidase (ScAAO) from Streptococcus cristatus and L-threonine transporter protein (EcSstT) from Escherichia coli BL21, respectively. We further optimized the reaction conditions for synthesizing 2,5-DMP. In optimized conditions, the modified strain can convert L-threonine to obtain 2,5-DMP with a yield of 2897.30 mg/L. Therefore, the strategies used in this study contribute to the development of high-level cell factories for 2,5-DMP.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnology for Biofuels is an open access peer-reviewed journal featuring high-quality studies describing technological and operational advances in the production of biofuels, chemicals and other bioproducts. The journal emphasizes understanding and advancing the application of biotechnology and synergistic operations to improve plants and biological conversion systems for the biological production of these products from biomass, intermediates derived from biomass, or CO2, as well as upstream or downstream operations that are integral to biological conversion of biomass.
Biotechnology for Biofuels focuses on the following areas:
• Development of terrestrial plant feedstocks
• Development of algal feedstocks
• Biomass pretreatment, fractionation and extraction for biological conversion
• Enzyme engineering, production and analysis
• Bacterial genetics, physiology and metabolic engineering
• Fungal/yeast genetics, physiology and metabolic engineering
• Fermentation, biocatalytic conversion and reaction dynamics
• Biological production of chemicals and bioproducts from biomass
• Anaerobic digestion, biohydrogen and bioelectricity
• Bioprocess integration, techno-economic analysis, modelling and policy
• Life cycle assessment and environmental impact analysis
