Remodeling bacterial polysaccharides by metabolic pathway engineering.
Introducing structural modifications into biomolecules represents a powerful approach to dissect their functions and roles in biological processes. Bacterial polysaccharides, despite their rich structural information and essential roles in bacterium-host interactions and bacterial virulence, have largely been unexplored for in vivo structural modifications. In this study, we demonstrate the inc...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering to enhance bacterial hydrogen production
Hydrogen fuel is renewable, efficient and clean, and fermentative bacteria hold great promise for its generation. Here we use the isogenic Escherichia coli K-12 KEIO library to rapidly construct multiple, precise deletions in the E. coli genome to direct the metabolic flux towards hydrogen production. Escherichia coli has three active hydrogenases, and the genes involved in the regulation of th...
متن کاملMicrobial Host Engineering: beyond the Metabolic Pathway
As the focus of microbial metabolic engineering shifts to include bulk commodities, two aspects of this research have become increasingly important. One is the requirement for high production titers in order to make the process economically viable. The second is to engineer microbes that are tolerant to these target products, many of which are toxic to cell growth. This review focuses on recent...
متن کاملPune University Metabolic Pathway Engineering ( PuMPE ) Resource
PuMPE is a comprehensive resource that provides integrated information on metabolome of bacterial systems. The genome data is annotated to infer metabolic pathways using in-house tools and web-based sources. PuMPE introduces a novel aspect of metabolic categorization. It is the first resource to provide metabolome-based tree computed by comparing metabolome between bacteria. PuMPE has metabolic...
متن کاملMetabolic Engineering of Potato Carotenoid Content through Tuber-Specific Overexpression of a Bacterial Mini-Pathway
BACKGROUND Since the creation of "Golden Rice", biofortification of plant-derived foods is a promising strategy for the alleviation of nutritional deficiencies. Potato is the most important staple food for mankind after the cereals rice, wheat and maize, and is extremely poor in provitamin A carotenoids. METHODOLOGY We transformed potato with a mini-pathway of bacterial origin, driving the sy...
