Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for 1-butanol production.
Compared to ethanol, butanol offers many advantages as a substitute for gasoline because of higher energy content and higher hydrophobicity. Typically, 1-butanol is produced by Clostridium in a mixed-product fermentation. To facilitate strain improvement for specificity and productivity, we engineered a synthetic pathway in Escherichia coli and demonstrated the production of 1-butanol from this...
متن کاملMicrobial 1-butanol production: Identification of non-native production routes and in silico engineering interventions.
The potential of engineering microorganisms with non-native pathways for the synthesis of long-chain alcohols has been identified as a promising route to biofuels. We describe computationally derived predictions for assembling pathways for the production of biofuel candidate molecules and subsequent metabolic engineering modifications that optimize product yield. A graph-based algorithm illustr...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for production of n-butanol from crude glycerol
BACKGROUND Crude glycerol in the waste stream of the biodiesel production process is an abundant and renewable resource. However, the glycerol-based industry is usually afflicted by the cost for refinement of crude glycerol. This issue can be addressed by developing a microbial process to convert crude glycerol to value-added chemicals. In this study, Escherichia coli was implemented for the pr...
متن کاملIn Silico Modelling and Metabolic Engineering of Escherichia Coli to Succinic Acid Production
Succinic acid is identified to have a great economical potential in a biobased economy. To improve the production in Escherichia coli metabolic engineering should be carried out. For new mutant strain design is important to in silico simulate and analyze the metabolic changes, network of a cell under different environmental and/or genetic perturbations. To investigate the genetic and environmen...
متن کاملEngineering alternative butanol production platforms in heterologous bacteria.
Alternative microbial hosts have been engineered as biocatalysts for butanol biosynthesis. The butanol synthetic pathway of Clostridium acetobutylicum was first re-constructed in Escherichia coli to establish a baseline for comparison to other hosts. Whereas polycistronic expression of the pathway genes resulted in the production of 34 mg/L butanol, individual expression of pathway genes elevat...
