摘要:
Bacteria that are not natural butanol producers were found to have increased tolerance to butanol when the saturated fatty acids content in bacterial cell membrane was increased. Methods for increasing the concentration of saturated fatty acids in the membranes of bacteria that are not natural butanol produces are described whereby tolerance of the bacterial cell to butanol is increased. Saturated fatty acids concentration in the bacterial cell membrane increased upon exogenously feeding saturated fatty acids to cells. Bacterial strains useful for production of butanol are described herein having modified unsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic pathway.
摘要:
A high flux of metabolites from pyruvate to 2,3-butanediol in Lactobacillus plantarum was achieved through genetic engineering. Substantial elimination of lactate dehydrogenase activity in the presence of heterologously expressed butanediol dehydrogenase activity led to 2,3 butanediol production that was at least 49% of the total of major pyruvate-derived products.
摘要:
Lactic acid bacterial (LAB) cells were modified such that they have a specific activity of dihydroxy-acid dehydratase enzyme activity that is increased to about 0.1 μmol min−1 mg−1. LAB cells with even higher activities of 0.2 to 0.6 μmol min−1 mg−1 of DHAD activity were obtained.These modified cells may be used to produce isobutanol when additional isobutanol biosynthetic pathway enzymes are expressed.
