Abstract
Objectives: To fully utilize lignocellulosic hydrolysate abundant in xylose content, it is necessary to engineer a Corynebacterium glutamicum strain that can preferentially and efficiently utilize xylose in the presence of glucose/xylose mixtures.
Results: C. glutamicum strain CGS15X5-E2 was obtained through metabolic engineering and adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), which preferentially utilizes xylose and completely consumes it before switching to glucose utilization. A genetically defined chassis strain, CGS15X57, was constructed to switch to glucose consumption only after xylose was depleted based on genome analysis and mutation reconstruction, in which xylose utilization capability was also enhanced. The average xylose consumption rate of CGS15X57 reached 0.833 ± 0.048 g/l/h, which was 28.0% higher than that of the control. Three new beneficial mutations (Cgl1992267 insert, Cgl2948G208 T and Cgl2948556△C) endow C. glutamicum with rapid growth and efficient xylose utilization phenotypes.
Conclusions: A chassis strain of C. glutamicum that preferentially and efficiently utilizes xylose has been obtained, facilitating the full utilization of lignocellulosic hydrolysates and the construction of co-culture systems under glucose/xylose mixed sugar conditions.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Letters is the world’s leading rapid-publication primary journal dedicated to biotechnology as a whole – that is to topics relating to actual or potential applications of biological reactions affected by microbial, plant or animal cells and biocatalysts derived from them.
All relevant aspects of molecular biology, genetics and cell biochemistry, of process and reactor design, of pre- and post-treatment steps, and of manufacturing or service operations are therefore included.
Contributions from industrial and academic laboratories are equally welcome. We also welcome contributions covering biotechnological aspects of regenerative medicine and biomaterials and also cancer biotechnology. Criteria for the acceptance of papers relate to our aim of publishing useful and informative results that will be of value to other workers in related fields.
The emphasis is very much on novelty and immediacy in order to justify rapid publication of authors’ results. It should be noted, however, that we do not normally publish papers (but this is not absolute) that deal with unidentified consortia of microorganisms (e.g. as in activated sludge) as these results may not be easily reproducible in other laboratories.
Papers describing the isolation and identification of microorganisms are not regarded as appropriate but such information can be appended as supporting information to a paper. Papers dealing with simple process development are usually considered to lack sufficient novelty or interest to warrant publication.
