Abstract
Salidroside is a high-value plant-derived glycoside with diverse biological activities, but the main industrial salidroside production method, extraction from Rhodiola plants, is insufficient to meet the growing market demand. The biosynthetic route via microbial fermentation is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative method. De novo synthesis of the precursor tyrosol was established by introducing the ARO10 and ADH6 genes. Systematic metabolic engineering resulted in 3.0 g/L tyrosol, but accumulated tyrosol inhibited cell growth. Adaptive evolution produced an evolved strain with a 10.0% higher OD600 and a 3.3 g/L tyrosol titer. Introducing glucosyltransferase AtUGT85A1, and overexpressing phosphoglucose mutase pgm and UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase galU, achieved de novo synthesis of salidroside. Furthermore, AtUGT85A1 was semirationally engineered, resulting in the A21G mutation, which enhanced salidroside production by 31.2%. The optimally engineered strain produced 16.8 g/L salidroside with 0.4 g/(L h) productivity in a 5 L bioreactor. This study laid a foundation for future industrial production of salidroside and provided important guidance for efficient biosynthesis of other tyrosol derivatives.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) lyases have been critical in structural and functional studies of GAGs. HCLase_M28, a lyase identified from the genome of Microbacterium sp. M28 was heterologously expressed, enzymatically characterized, and prepared in large-scale fermentation for the production of chondroitin sulfate (CS) oligosaccharides. Results showed that the expression of HCLase_M28 in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3)-pET24a-HCLase_M28opt1 and Bacillus subtilis W800-pSTOP1622-HCLase_M28opt2 were 108-fold and 25-fold that of wide strain. The optimal lytic reaction of HCLase_M28 happened in 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.2) at 50 °C with a specific activity of 190.9 U/mg toward CS-A. The degrading activity was slightly simulated in presence of 1 mM Ca2+ and Mn2+ while severely inhibited by Hg+, Cu2+, Fe3+, and SDS. TLC and ESI-MS analysis proved HCLase_M28 was an endolytic lyase and degraded CS and hyaluronic acid into unsaturated disaccharides. Through a gradual scale-up of fermentation in 5 L, 100 L, and 1000 L, a highly efficient intracellular expression of HCLase_M28 with an activity of 3.88 × 105 U/L achieved within a 34 h of cultivation. Through ultrafiltration, CS oligosaccharides with DP of 2 to 8 as the main components could be controllably prepared. The successful large-scale fermentation made HCLase_M28 a promising enzyme for industrial production of CS oligosaccharides.

An event triggered control scheme for enhanced production of Escherichia coli and biomass concentration during fed-batch cultivation. Heliyon 2024; 10:e32210. [PMID: 38975212 PMCID: PMC11226784 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Control of a bioprocess is a challenging task mainly due to the nonlinearity of the process, the complex nature of microorganisms, and variations in critical parameters such as temperature, pH, and agitator speed. Generally, the optimum values chosen for critical parameters during Escherichia coli (E.coli) K-12fed-batch fermentation are37 ᵒC for temperature, 7 for pH, and 35 % for Dissolved Oxygen (DO). The objective of this research is to enhance biomass concentration while minimizing energy consumption. To achieve this, an Event-Triggered Control (ETC) scheme based on feedback-feed forward control is proposed. The ETC system dynamically adjusts the substrate feed rate in response to variations in critical parameters. We compare the performance of classical Proportional Integral (PI) controllers and advanced Model Predictive Control (MPC) controllers in terms of bioprocess yield. Initially, the data are collected from a laboratory-scaled 3L bioreactor setup under fed-batch operating conditions, and data-driven models are developed using system identification techniques. Then, classical Proportional Integral (PI) and advanced Model Predictive Control (MPC) based feedback controllers are developed for controlling the yield of bioprocess by manipulating substrate flow rate, and their performances are compared. PI and MPC-based Event Triggered Feed Forward Controllers are designed to increase the yield and to suppress the effect of known disturbances due to critical parameters. Whenever there is a variation in the value of a critical parameter, it is considered an event, and ETC initiates a control action by manipulating the substrate feed rate. PI and MPC-based ETC controllers are developed in simulation, and their closed-loop performances are compared. It is observed that the Integral Square Error (ISE) is notably minimized to 4.668 for MPC with disturbance and 4.742 for MPC with Feed Forward Control. Similarly, the Integral Absolute Error (IAE) reduces to 2.453 for MPC with disturbance and 0.8124 for MPC with Feed Forward Control. The simulation results reveal that the MPC-based ETC control scheme enhances the biomass yield by 7 %, and this result is verified experimentally. This system dynamically adjusts the substrate feed rate in response to variations in critical parameters, which is a novel approach in the field of bioprocess control. Also, the proposed control schemes help reduce the frequency of communication between controller and actuator, which reduces power consumption.

A Whole-Process Visible Strategy for the Preparation of Rhizomucor miehei Lipase with Escherichia coli Secretion Expression System and the Immobilization. Microb Cell Fact 2024; 23:155. [PMID: 38802857 PMCID: PMC11129466 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-024-02432-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhizomucor miehei (RM) lipase is a regioselective lipase widely used in food, pharmaceutical and biofuel industries. However, the high cost and low purity of the commercial RM lipase limit its industrial applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop cost-effective strategies for large-scale preparation of this lipase. The present study explored the high-level expression of RM lipase using superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP)-mediated Escherichia coli secretion system. RESULTS The sfGFP(-15) mutant was fused to the C-terminus of RM lipase to mediate its secretion expression. The yield of the fusion protein reached approximately 5.1 g/L with high-density fermentation in 5-L fermentors. Unlike conventional secretion expression methods, only a small portion of the target protein was secreted into the cell culture while majority of the fusion protein was still remained in the cytoplasm. However, in contrast to intracellular expression, the target protein in the cytoplasm could be transported efficiently to the supernatant through a simple washing step with equal volume of phosphate saline (PBS), without causing cell disruption. Hence, the approach facilitated the downstream purification step of the recombinant RM lipase. Moreover, contamination or decline of the engineered strain and degradation or deactivation of the target enzyme can be detected efficiently because they exhibited bright green fluorescence. Next, the target protein was immobilized with anion-exchange and macropore resins. Diethylaminoethyl sepharose (DEAE), a weak-basic anion-exchange resin, exhibited the highest bind capacity but inhibited the activity of RM lipase dramatically. On the contrary, RM lipase fixed with macropore resin D101 demonstrated the highest specific activity. Although immobilization with D101 didn't improve the activity of the enzyme, the thermostability of the immobilized enzyme elevated significantly. The immobilized RM lipase retained approximately 90% of its activity after 3-h incubation at 80 °C. Therefore, D101 was chosen as the supporting material of the target protein. CONCLUSION The present study established a highly efficient strategy for large-scale preparation of RM lipase. This innovative technique not only provides high-purity RM lipase at a low cost but also has great potential as a platform for the preparation of lipases in the future.

Foods 2024; 13:1546. [PMID: 38790845 PMCID: PMC11121647 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Saccharomycopsis fibuligera, which produces enzymes like amylase and protease as well as flavor substances like β-phenyl ethanol and phenyl acetate, plays a crucial role in traditional fermented foods. However, this strain still lacks a high-density fermentation culture, which has had an impact on the strain's industrial application process. Therefore, this study investigated the optimization of medium ingredients and fermentation conditions for high-density fermentation of S. fibuligera Y1402 through single-factor design, Plackett-Burman design, steepest ascent test, and response surface analysis. The study found that glucose at 360.61 g/L, peptone at 50 g/L, yeast extract at 14.65 g/L, KH2PO4 at 5.49 g/L, MgSO4 at 0.40 g/L, and CuSO4 at 0.01 g/L were the best medium ingredients for S. fibuligera Y1402. Under these conditions, after three days of fermentation, the total colony count reached 1.79 × 108 CFU/mL. The optimal fermentation conditions were determined to be an initial pH of 6.0, an inoculum size of 1.10%, a liquid volume of 12.5 mL/250 mL, a rotation speed of 120 r/min, a fermentation temperature of 21 °C and a fermentation time of 53.50 h. When fermentation was conducted using the optimized medium and conditions, the total colony count achieved a remarkable value of 5.50 × 109 CFU/mL, exhibiting a substantial increase of nearly 31 times the original value in the optimal culture medium. This significant advancement offers valuable insights and a reference for the industrial-scale production of S. fibuligera.

Abstract
Flavonoids are a diverse set of natural products with promising bioactivities including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective properties. Previously, the oleaginous host Yarrowia lipolytica has been engineered to produce high titers of the base flavonoid naringenin. Here, we leverage this host along with a set of E. coli bioconversion strains to produce the flavone apigenin and its glycosylated derivative isovitexin, two potential nutraceutical and pharmaceutical candidates. Through downstream strain selection, co-culture optimization, media composition, and mutant isolation, we were able to produce168 mg/L of apigenin, representing a 46% conversion rate of 2-(R/S)-naringenin to apigenin. This apigenin platform was modularly extended to produce isovitexin by addition of a second bioconversion strain. Together, these results demonstrate the promise of microbial production and modular bioconversion to access diversified flavonoids.

Abstract
Dynamic flux balance analysis (FBA) allows estimation of intracellular reaction rates using organism-specific genome-scale metabolic models (GSMM) and by assuming instantaneous pseudo-steady states for processes that are inherently dynamic. This technique is well-suited for industrial bioprocesses employing complex media characterized by a hierarchy of substrate uptake and product secretion. However, knowledge of exchange rates of many components of the media would be required to obtain meaningful results. Here, we performed spent media analysis using mass spectrometry coupled with liquid and gas chromatography for a fed-batch, high-cell density cultivation of Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) expressing a recombinant protein. Time course measurements thus obtained for 246 metabolites were converted to instantaneous exchange rates. These were then used as constraints for dynamic FBA using a previously reported GSMM, thus providing insights into how the flux map evolves through the process. Changes in tri-carboxylic acid cycle fluxes correlated with the increased demand for energy during recombinant protein production. The results show how amino acids act as hubs for the synthesis of other cellular metabolites. Our results provide a deeper understanding of an industrial bioprocess and will have implications in further optimizing the process.

Abstract
The ApxII toxin and the outer membrane lipoprotein (Oml) of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae are important vaccine antigens against porcine contagious pleuropneumonia (PCP), a prevalent infectious disease affecting the swine industry worldwide. Previous studies have reported the recombinant expression of ApxII and Oml in Escherichia coli; however, their yields were not satisfactory. Here, we aimed to enhance the production of ApxII and Oml by constructing a bicistronic expression system based on the widely used T7 promoter. To create efficient T7 bicistronic expression cassettes, 16 different fore-cistron sequences were introduced downstream of the T7 promoter. The expression of three vaccine antigens Oml1, Oml7, and ApxII in the four strongest bicistronic vectors were enhanced compared to the monocistronic control. Further optimization of the fermentation conditions in micro-well plates (MWP) led to improved production. Finally, the production yields reached unprecedented levels of 2.43 g L-1 of Oml1, 2.59 g L-1 of Oml7, and 1.21 g L-1 of ApxII, in a 5 L bioreactor. These three antigens also demonstrated well-protective immunity against A. pleuropneumoniae infection. In conclusion, this study establishes an efficient bicistronic T7 expression system that can be used to express recombinant proteins in E. coli and achieves the hyper-production of PCP vaccine proteins.

Abstract
Optimization and monitoring of bioprocesses requires the measurement of several process parameters and quality attributes. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques such as those coupled to gas chromatography (GCMS) and liquid Chromatography (LCMS) enable the simultaneous measurement of hundreds of metabolites with high sensitivity. When applied to spent media, such metabolome analysis can help determine the sequence of substrate uptake and metabolite secretion, consequently facilitating better design of initial media and feeding strategy. Furthermore, the analysis of metabolite diversity and abundance from spent media will aid the determination of metabolic phases of the culture and the identification of metabolites as surrogate markers for product titer and quality. This review covers the recent advances in metabolomics analysis applied to the development and monitoring of bioprocesses. In this regard, we recommend a stepwise workflow and guidelines that a bioprocesses engineer can adopt to develop and optimize a fermentation process using spent media analysis. Finally, we show examples of how the use of MS can revolutionize the design and monitoring of bioprocesses.

Abstract
In the post-genomic era, the demand for faster and more efficient protein production has increased, both in public laboratories and industry. In addition, with the expansion of protein sequences in databases, the range of possible enzymes of interest for a given application is also increasing. Faced with peer competition, budgetary, and time constraints, companies and laboratories must find ways to develop a robust manufacturing process for recombinant protein production. In this review, we explore high-throughput technologies for recombinant protein expression and present a holistic high-throughput process development strategy that spans from genes to proteins. We discuss the challenges that come with this task, the limitations of previous studies, and future research directions.

Abstract
(1) Background: The degradation products of ribonucleic acid (RNA)are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industry for their flavoring and nutritional enhancement functions. Yeast is the main source for commercial RNA production, and an efficient strain is the key to reducing production costs; (2) Methods: A mutant Saccharomyces pastorianus G03H8 with a high RNA yield was developed via ARTP mutagenesis and fed-batch fermentation was applied to optimize production capacity. Genome sequencing analysis was used to reveal the underlying mechanism of higher RNA production genetic differences in the preferred mutant; (3) Results: Compared with the highest RNA content of the mutant strain, G03H8 increased by 40% compared with the parental strain G03 after response surface model optimization. Meanwhile, in fed-batch fermentation, G03H8′s dry cell weight (DCW) reached 60.58 g/L in 5 L fermenter by molasses flowing and RNA production reached up to 3.58 g/L. Genome sequencing showed that the ribosome biogenesis, yeast meiosis, RNA transport, and longevity regulating pathway were closely related to the metabolism of high RNA production; (4) Conclusion: S. pastorianus G03H8 was developed for RNA production and had the potential to greatly reduce the cost of RNA production and shorten the fermentation cycle. This work lays the foundation for efficient RNA content using S. pastorianus.

Abstract
Auto-inducible promoter systems have been reported to increase soluble product formation in the periplasm of E. coli compared to inducer-dependent systems. In this study, we investigated the phosphate (PO4)-sensitive phoA expression system (pAT) for the production of a recombinant model antigen-binding fragment (Fab) in the periplasm of E. coli in detail. We explored the impact of non-limiting and limiting PO4 conditions on strain physiology as well as Fab productivity. We compared different methods for extracellular PO4 detection, identifying automated colorimetric measurement to be most suitable for at-line PO4 monitoring. We showed that PO4 limitation boosts phoA-based gene expression, however, the product was already formed at non-limiting PO4 conditions, indicating leaky expression. Furthermore, cultivation under PO4 limitation caused physiological changes ultimately resulting in a metabolic breakdown at PO4 starvation. Finally, we give recommendations for process optimization with the phoA expression system. In summary, our study provides very detailed information on the E. coli phoA expression system, thus extending the existing knowledge of this system, and underlines its high potential for the successful production of periplasmic products in E. coli.

Abstract
True fed-batch strategy for high cell density cultivation of E. coli in shake flask. Cybernetic model-based optimization of the feeding recipe. Biomass of 19.9–21.5 g DCW/L, in agreement with the model prediction. Volumetric productivity for tested proteins increased 8–34-fold compared to batch. Scale up of fed-batch recipe to bioreactor resulted in further 2.8-fold increase.
Batch cultivation of recombinant bacteria in shake flasks typically results in low cell density due to nutrient depletion. Previous studies on high cell density cultivation in shake flasks have relied mainly on controlled release mechanisms. Here, we report a true fed-batch strategy to achieve high cell density of recombinant E. coli in shake flasks in 24 h by feeding a mixture of glycerol and yeast extract with a syringe pump. Feed composition and feed rate were obtained by cybernetic model-based, multi-objective optimization. Model parameters were estimated from time-course measurement of substrate, biomass, and dissolved oxygen levels. The optimized process yielded 20.7 g dry cell weight/L, in agreement with the model prediction. Volumetric protein productivity improved by 10–34-fold compared to batch cultivation with 2.8-fold further improvement when the fed-batch process was replicated in a 3 L bioreactor. The process has significance in the routine laboratory cultivations and in scaleup studies.

Abstract
A novel lipase from Bacillus licheniformis NCU CS-5 was expressed in different Escherichia coli cells. The recombinant enzyme achieved a high activity (161.74 U/mL) with protein concentration of 0.27 mg/mL under optimal conditions at the large-scale expression of 12 h. The recombinant lipase showed optimal activity at 40 ℃ and pH 10.0, and maintained more than 80% relative activity after 96 h of incubation at pH 9.0-10.0. This typical alkaline lipase was activated under medium temperature conditions (30 and 45 ℃ for 96 h). The lipase exhibited a degree of adaptability in various organic solvents and metal ions, and showed high specificity towards triglycerides with short and medium chain fatty acids. Among different substrates, the lipase showed the strongest binding affinity towards pNPP (Km = 0.674 mM, Vmax = 950.196 μM/min). In the experiments of its application in enhancing fatty acids flavor release for low-fat cheeses, the lipase was found to hydrolyze cheeses and mainly increase the contents of butyric acid, hexanoic acid, caprylic acid and decanoic acid. The results from NMR and GC provided the possibility of enhancing fatty acids flavor released from low-fat cheeses by the lipolysis method.

Abstract
Recombinant human interferon-β (rhIFN-β) is therapeutically important and new commercially viable approaches are needed for its increased production. In this study, a codon-optimized gene encoding for rhIFN-β(C17S) protein was designed and expressed in E. coli SE1. As a first step of medium optimization, growth of E. coli as a function of different media components was studied. Subsequently, to optimize the media composition, a response surface methodology (RSM) was used. Our results show that optimized medium (15.0 g/L tryptone, 12.3 g/L meat extract, 1.0 g/L MgSO4 and 0.5 g/L thiamine along with minimal medium) obtained in this study provide better growth of recombinant cells and the expression level of recombinant protein was ~ 1.7-fold more than Luria-Bertani medium. The optimized medium may be utilized for the large-scale production of rhIFN-β.

Abstract
Styrene monooxygenases are a group of highly selective enzymes able to catalyse the epoxidation of alkenes to corresponding chiral epoxides in excellent enantiopurity. Chiral compounds containing oxirane ring or products of their hydrolysis represent key building blocks and precursors in organic synthesis in the pharmaceutical industry, and many of them are produced on an industrial scale. Two-component recombinant styrene monooxygenase (SMO) from Marinobacterium litorale was expressed as a fused protein (StyAL2StyB) in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). By high cell density fermentation, 35 gDCW/L of biomass with overexpressed SMO was produced. SMO exhibited excellent stability, broad substrate specificity, and enantioselectivity, as it remained active for months and converted a group of alkenes to corresponding chiral epoxides in high enantiomeric excess (˃95–99% ee). Optically pure (S)-4-chlorostyrene oxide, (S)-allylbenzene oxide, (2R,5R)-1,2:5,6-diepoxyhexane, 2-(3-bromopropyl)oxirane, and (S)-4-(oxiran-2-yl)butan-1-ol were prepared by whole-cell SMO.

Abstract
Escherichia coli is one of the most suitable hosts for production of antibodies and antibody fragments. Antibody fragment secretion to the culture medium improves product purity in cell culture and diminishes downstream costs. In this study, E. coli strain BL21 (DE3) harboring gene encoding bispecific anti-MUC1 nanobody was selected, and the autoinduction methodology for expression of bispecific anti-MUC1 nanobody was investigated. Due to the replacement of IPTG by lactose as inducer, less impurity and toxicity in the final product were observed. To increase both intracellular and extracellular nanobody production, initially, the experiments were performed for the key factors including temperature and duration of protein expression. The highest amount of nanobody was produced after 21 h at 33°C. The effect of different carbon sources, glycerol, glucose, lactose, and glycine as a medium additive at optimum temperature and time were also assessed by using response surface methodology. The optimized concentrations of carbon sources were obtained as 0.75% (w/v), 0.03% (w/v), 0.1% (w/v), and 0.75% (w/v) for glycerol, glucose, lactose, and glycine, respectively. Finally, the production of nanobody in 2 L fermenter under the optimized autoinduction conditions was evaluated. The results show that the total titer of 87.66 µg/mL anti-MUC1 nanobody, which is approximately seven times more than the total titer of nanobody produced in LB culture medium, is 12.23 µg/L .

Cadaverine is the monomer of bio-based nylons polyamide 5.4, 5.6 and 5.10. In this study, a litre-scale integrated strategy was developed for high-efficiency and low-cost production of cadaverine using an engineered Escherichia coli. Firstly, the engineered strain BL21-Pcad-CadA induced by cheap l-lysine-HCl instead of IPTG was constructed. Then the permeabilized cells were served as the biocatalyst for the production of cadaverine, because the enhanced permeability facilitated the mass transfer of the substrate and the release of products. After the replacement of industrial materials and the solution of the scale-up permeabilization process, cadaverine concentration reached 205 g/L with the yield of 92.1% after 20 h in a 2 L bioconversion system, achieving the level of industrial production. Furthermore, the costs of industrial materials for 2 L integrated strategy ($2.78) was only 1/11 of the lab reagents ($30.88). Therefore, the proposed strategy is a promising candidate for the industrial process of cadaverine.

Abstract
Glucose dehydrogenases are important auxiliary enzymes in biocatalysis, employed in the regeneration of reduced nicotinamide cofactors for oxidoreductase catalysed reactions. Here we report the identification and characterization of a novel glucose-1-dehydrogenase (GDH) from Paenibacillus pini that prefers NAD+ as cofactor over NADP+. The purified recombinant P. pini GDH displayed a specific activity of 247.5 U/mg. The enzyme was stable in the pH range 4-8.5 and exhibited excellent thermostability till 50 °C for 24 h, even in the absence of NaCl or glycerol. Paenibacillus pini GDH was also tolerant to organic solvents, demonstrating its potential for recycling cofactors for biotransformation. The potential application of the enzyme was evaluated by coupling with a NAD+-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase for the reduction of acetophenone and ethyl-4-chloro-3-oxo-butanoate. Conversions higher than 95% were achieved within 2 h with low enzyme loading using lyophilized cell lysate, suggesting that P. pini GDH could be highly effective for recycling NADH in redox biocatalysis.

Abstract
Herba Epimedii is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that contains a mixture of bioactive flavonoid glycosides. Among them, icariin has the most outstanding bioactive functions, while epimedin C exhibits substantial toxicity. A recombinant α-L-rhamnosidase (synAnRhaE) from Aspergillus nidulans was expressed in Escherichia coli to promote the efficient bioconversion of epimedin C to icariin. A hydrolase activity of 574.5 U L-1 was acquired via optimized fed-batch fermentation in a 5-L bioreactor. The enzyme proved to be stable in an acidulous pH range below 55 °C with an optimal pH of 4.5 and optimal temperature of 55 °C. Epimedin C (1 g L-1) was 100% converted to icariin within 90 min using recombinant cells. The resting cells proved to be selective for epimedin C and 2″-O-rhamnosylicariside II in crude extracts of the epimedium plant. This work provides an original and efficient biocatalyst system that can be applied in industrialized production of icariin.

Abstract
Synthetic biology is rapidly evolving into a new phase that emphasizes real-world applications such as environmental remediation. Recently, Comamonas testosteroni has become a promising chassis for bioremediation due to its natural pollutant-degrading capacity; however, its application is hindered by the lack of fundamental gene expression tools. Here, we present a synthetic biology toolkit that enables rapid creation of functional gene circuits in C. testosteroni. We first built a shuttle system that allows efficient circuit construction in E. coli and necessary phenotypic testing in C. testosteroni. Then, we tested a set of wildtype inducible promoters, and further used a hybrid strategy to create engineered promoters to expand expression strength and dynamics. Additionally, we tested the T7 RNA Polymerase-PT7 promoter system and reduced its leaky expression through promoter mutation for gene expression. By coupling random library construction with FACS screening, we further developed a synthetic T7 promoter library to confer a wider range of expression strength and dynamic characteristics. This study provides a set of valuable tools to engineer gene circuits in C. testosteroni, facilitating the establishment of the organism as a useful microbial chassis for bioremediation purposes.

Abstract
The productivity of bioengineered cell factories is limited by inefficiencies in nutrient delivery and waste and product removal. Current solution approaches explore changes in the physical configurations of the bioreactors. This work investigates the possibilities of exploiting self-organizing vascular networks to support producer cells within the factory. A computational model simulates de novo vascular development of endothelial-like cells and the resultant network functioning to deliver nutrients and extract product and waste from the cell culture. Microbial factories with vascular networks are evaluated for their scalability, robustness, and productivity compared to the cell factories without a vascular network. Initial studies demonstrate that at least an order of magnitude increase in production is possible, the system can be scaled up, and the self-organization of an efficient vascular network is robust. The work suggests that bioengineered multicellularity may offer efficiency improvements difficult to achieve with physical engineering approaches.

Abstract
Abstract
Rhodococcus ruber TH was selected as a parent strain to engineer for biomanufacturing of ammonium acrylate; the characteristics of this strain included accelerated growth rate, high cell tolerance and natively overexpressed nitrile hydratase (NHase). Transcriptome analysis revealed that the transcription levels of the native NHase, amidase and nitrilase were extremely high, moderate and extremely low, respectively. Through NHase-amidase double-knockout and amidase single-knockout, the engineered strains R. ruber THdAdN and R. ruber THdA were obtained for overexpression of a heterologous nitrilase from R. rhodochrous tg1-A6 using a urea-induced Pa2 promoter. The nitrilase activity toward substrate acrylonitrile in the engineered THdAdN(Nit) reached 187.0 U/mL at 42 h, threefold of that R. rhodochrous tg1-A6 and 2.3-fold of that of THdA(Nit). The optimal catalysis temperature and pH of the nitrilases in different cells exhibited no significant difference. Using the cells as catalysts, biomanufacturing of ammonium acrylate was performed under room temperature. When catalyzed by the engineered THdAdN(Nit), the titer and productivity of ammonium acrylate dramatically increased to 741.0 g/L and 344.9 g/L/h, which are the highest results reported to date.

Abstract
In this paper, a simple and effective method using sodium metasilicate as precursor and amine as additive was first reported to immobilize recombinant nitrilase, for efficient production of 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid from 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanenitrile. High immobilization recovery of enzyme activity (above 90 %) was achieved. The immobilized enzyme displayed better thermal stability, pH stability and shelf life compared to free nitrilase. Moreover, it showed excellent reusability and could be recycled up to 16 batches without significant loss in activity. 200 mM 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanenitrile was completely converted by the immobilized enzyme within 30 min, and the accumulation amount of 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid reached 130 mmol/g of immobilized beads after 16 batches. These encouraging results demonstrated the efficiency of the new technology for nitrilase immobilization, which has great potential in preparation of 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To construct an Escherichia coli strain capable of producing riboflavin with high titer and yield. RESULTS A low copy number plasmid pLS01 containing a riboflavin operon under the control of a constitutive promoter was constructed and introduced into Escherichia coli MG1655. Subsequently, the pfkA, edd and ead genes were disrupted, and the resulting strain LS02T produced 667 mg riboflavin/l in MSY medium supplied with 10 g glucose/l in flask cultivation. In a fed-batch process, riboflavin production of the strain reached 10.4 g/l with a yield of 56.8 mg riboflavin/g glucose. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first report of engineered E. coli strains that can produce more than 10 g riboflavin/l in fed-batch cultivation, indicating that E. coli has potential for riboflavin production.
