While formaldehyde was readily detoxified into formate, <em>Escherichia coli</em> K12 MG1655 strain failed to grow on DHB despite of the production of pyruvate. To find out the reason for this failure, we constructed a mutant strain whose growth was rendered dependent on DHB and subjected this strain to adaptive evolution. Genome sequencing of the adapted strain revealed an essential role for <em>ygbI</em> encoding a transcriptional repressor of the threonate operon in this DHB-dependent growth. This critical function was attributed to the derepression of <em>ygbN</em> encoding a putative threonate transporter, which was found to exclusively transport the D form of DHB. A subsequent laboratory evolution was carried out with <em>E. coli</em> K12 MG1655 deleted for <em>ΔygbI</em> to adapt for growth on DHB as sole carbon source. Remarkably, only two additional mutations were disclosed in the adapted strain, which were demonstrated by reverse engineering to be necessary and sufficient for robust growth on DHB. One mutation was in <em>nanR</em> encoding the transcription repressor of sialic acid metabolic genes, causing 140-fold increase in expression of <em>nanA</em> encoding N-acetyl neuraminic acid lyase, a pyruvate-dependent aldolase, and the other was in the promoter of <em>dld</em> leading to 14-fold increase in D-lactate dehydrogenase activity on DHB.
