Abstract

Escherichia coli NZN111, which lacks activities for pyruvate-formate lyase and lactate dehydrogenase, and AFP111, a derivative which contains an additional mutation in ptsG (a gene encoding an enzyme of the glucose phophotransferase system), accumulate significant levels of succinic acid (succinate) under anaerobic conditions. Plasmid pTrc99A-pyc, which expresses the Rhizobium etli pyruvate carboxylase enzyme, was introduced into both strains. We compared growth, substrate consumption, product formation, and activities of seven key enzymes (acetate kinase, fumarate reductase, glucokinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, and pyruvate carboxylase) from glucose for NZN111, NZN111/pTrc99A-pyc, AFP111, and AFP111/pTrc99A-pyc under both exclusively anaerobic and dual-phase conditions (an aerobic growth phase followed by an anaerobic production phase). The highest succinate mass yield was attained with AFP111/pTrc99A-pyc under dual-phase conditions with low pyruvate carboxylase activity. Dual-phase conditions led to significant isocitrate lyase activity in both NZN111 and AFP111, while under exclusively anaerobic conditions, an absence of isocitrate lyase activity resulted in significant py...Continue Reading

Biosynthetic Transformations

Biosyntheic transformtions are multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. Simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined together to form macromolecules. Discover the latest research on biosynthetic transformations here.
