Metabolic engineering of Serratia marcescens MG1 for enhanced production of (3R)-acetoin.
BACKGROUND: Optically pure acetoin (AC) is an important platform chemical which has been widely used to synthesize novel optically active α-hydroxyketone derivatives and liquid crystal composites.
RESULTS: In this study, slaC and gldA encoding meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (meso-2,3-BDH) and glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH), respectively, in S. marcescens MG1 were knocked out to block the conversion from AC to 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD). The resulting strain MG14 was found to produce a large amount of optically pure (3R)-AC with a little 2,3-BD, indicating that another enzyme responsible for 2,3-BD formation except meso-2,3-BDH and GDH existed in the strain MG1. Furthermore, SlaR protein, a transcriptional activator of AC cluster, was overexpressed using PC promoter in the strain MG14, leading to enhancement of the (3R)-AC yield by 29.91%. The recombinant strain with overexpression of SlaR, designated as S. marcescens MG15, was used to perform medium optimization for improving (3R)-AC production.
CONCLUSION: Under the optimized conditions, 39.91 ± 1.35 g/l (3R)-AC was produced by strain MG15 with the productivity of 1.11 g/l h and the conversion rate of 80.13%.
