Abstract

The biotin metabolism of the Gram-negative facultative chemolithoautotrophic bacterium Ralstonia eutropha (syn. Cupriavidus necator), which is used for biopolymer production in industry, was investigated. A biotin auxotroph mutant lacking bioF was generated, and biotin depletion in the cells and the minimal biotin demand of a biotin-auxotrophic R. eutropha strain were determined. Three consecutive cultivations in biotin-free medium were necessary to prevent growth of the auxotrophic mutant, and 40 ng/ml biotin was sufficient to promote cell growth. Nevertheless, 200 ng/ml biotin was necessary to ensure growth comparable to that of the wild type, which is similar to the demand of biotin-auxotrophic mutants among other prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes. A phenotypic complementation of the R. eutropha ΔbioF mutant was only achieved by homologous expression of bioF of R. eutropha or heterologous expression of bioF of Bacillus subtilis but not by bioF of Escherichia coli Together with the results from bioinformatic analysis of BioFs, this leads to the assumption that the intermediate of biotin synthesis in R. eutropha is pimeloyl-CoA instead of pimeloyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) like in the Gram-positive B. subtilis Internal biot...Continue Reading
