摘要:
A butanol expression cassette includes a butanol production related genes and a fermentation regulatory element. The fermentation regulatory element controls the expression of the butanol production related gene and locates upstream of the butanol production related gene. The fermentation regulatory element includes a promoter, a ribosome binding site and a transcription factor binding site of a fermentation gene. A fermentation in which the fermentation regulatory element involves includes an acetic acid fermentation, an alcohol fermentation, a succinic acid fermentation or a lactic acid fermentation, the butanol production related gene is not the fermentation gene or a gene of an upstream product of the fermentation in which the fermentation gene involves. The present invention provides a recombinant plasmid formed by cloning the butanol expression cassettes in the expression vector. The present invention also provides a butanol production related gene expression method to express butanol production related gene by using recombinant plasmid.
摘要:
The invention relates to a genetically engineered bacterium comprising an energy-generating fermentation pathway and methods related thereto. In particular, the invention provides a bacterium comprising a phosphate butyryltransferase (Ptb) and a butyrate kinase (Buk) (Ptb-Buk) that act on non-native substrates to produce a wide variety of products and intermediates. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to the introduction of Ptb-Buk into a C1-fixing microoorgansim capable of producing products from a gaseous substrate.

The invention features compositions and methods for the increased production of mevalonate, isoprene, isoprenoid precursor molecules, and/or isoprenoids in microorganisms by engineering a microorganism for increased carbon flux towards mevalonate production in the following enzymatic pathways: (a) citrate synthase, (b) phosphotransacetylase, (c) acetate kinase, (d) lactate dehydrogenase, (e) malic enzyme, and (f) pyruvate dehydrogenase such that one of more of the enzyme activity is modulated. In addition, production of mevalonate, isoprene, isoprenoid precursor molecules, and/or isoprenoids can be further enhanced by the heterologous expression of the mvaE and mvaS genes (such as, but not limited to, mvaE and mvaS genes from the organisms Listeria grayi DSM 20601, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus gallinarum EG2, and Enterococcus casseliflavus).
摘要:
The present invention discloses a DL-alanine-producing engineering bacterium. This DL-alanine-producing engineering bacterium itself was inactivated in lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate formate lyase, alcohol dehydrogenase, acetate kinase, fumarate reductase, alanine racemase, and methylglyoxal synthase; moreover, onto the chromosome thereof an exogenous L-alanine dehydrogenase gene and alanine racemase gene were integrated. In the present application, by integrating the exogenous L-alanine dehydrogenase gene into the chromosome of the engineering bacterium, the intermediate of glycolysis, pyruvic acid, was converted into L-alanine; by further integrating the exogenous alanine racemase gene, partial L-alanine was converted into D-alanine, achieving the direct production of DL-alanine from raw material saccharides, thereby decreasing the production cycle of DL-alanine, and increasing the yield of DL-alanine.
