Abstract
Starch is an attractive feedstock in biorefinery processes, while the low natural conversion rate of most microorganisms limits its applications. Herein, starch metabolic pathway was systematically investigated using DW2 as the host organism. Initially, the effects of overexpressing amylolytic enzymes on starch hydrolysis were evaluated. Subsequently, the transmembrane transport system and intracellular degradation module were modified to accelerate the uptake of hydrolysates and their further conversion to glucose-6-phosphate. The DW2-derived strains exhibited robust growth in starch medium, and productivity of bacitracin and subtilisin were improved by 38.5% and 32.6%, with an 32.3% and 22.9% increase of starch conversion rate, respectively. Lastly, the employment of engineering strategies enabled another WX-02 to produce poly-γ-glutamic acid from starch with a 2.1-fold increase of starch conversion rate. This study not only provided excellent chassis for sustainable bioproduction from starch, but shed light on researches of substrate utilization.
