Abstract
Clostridium tyrobutyricum has emerged as a non‐pathogenic microbial cell factory capable of anaerobic production of various value‐added products, such as butyrate, butanol, and butyl butyrate. This study reports the first systematic engineering of C. tyrobutyricum for the heterologous production of 1,3‐propanediol (1,3‐PDO) from industrial by‐product crude glycerol. Initially, the glycerol reductive pathway for 1,3‐PDO production was constructed, and the unique glycerol oxidation pathway in C. tyrobutyricum was elucidated. Subsequently, the glycerol metabolism and 1,3‐PDO synthesis pathways were enhanced. Furthermore, the intracellular reducing power supply and the fermentation process were optimized to improve 1,3‐PDO production. Consequently, 54.06 g/L 1,3‐PDO with a yield of 0.64 mol/mol and a productivity of 1.13 g/L·h was obtained using crude glycerol and fish meal. The strategies described herein could facilitate the engineering of C. tyrobutyricum as a robust host for synthesizing valuable chemicals.

The editors will consider papers for publication based on novelty, their immediate or future impact on biotechnological processes, and their contribution to the advancement of biochemical engineering science. Submission of papers dealing with routine aspects of bioprocessing, description of established equipment, and routine applications of established methodologies (e.g., control strategies, modeling, experimental methods) is discouraged. Theoretical papers will be judged based on the novelty of the approach and their potential impact, or on their novel capability to predict and elucidate experimental observations.
