Acetoin production in Enterobacter aerogenes by control of PTS independent glucose oxidative pathway

초록/요약

Acetoin, naturally in some fruits and dairy products, is mainly used for flavor enhancer and precursor of platform chemical in many industries. Enterobacter aerogenes was used for acetoin production in this study. budC and dhaD genes encoding acetoin reductase was deleted by metabolic engineering. And then, 2-ketogluconate was removed by deletion of the gcd gene encoding glucose dehydrogenase activated by PTS independent glucose oxidative pathway under continuous aerobic culture condition. In this way, engineered strain was developed to produce acetoin. This completed strain was cultured in flask batch and fed-batch fermentation. As a result, the acetoin reached 62.8g/L in 24h during fed-batch fermentation. This is until now the highest titer of acetoin in Enterobacter species. This research demonstrated the importance of blocking PTS independent glucose oxidative pathway for acetoin production in Enterobacter aerogenes.
