Establishment of efficient 5-hydroxyvaleric acid production system by regenerating alpha-ketoglutaric acid and its application in poly(5-hydroxyvaleric acid) production. J Biotechnol 2024; 387:12-22. [PMID: 38522773 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2024.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
5-hydroxyvaleric acid (5-HV) is a versatile C5 intermediate of bio-based high-value chemical synthesis pathways. However, 5-HV production faces a few shortcomings involving the supply of cofactors, especially α-ketoglutaric acid (α-KG). Herein, we established a two-cell biotransformation system by introducing L-glutamate oxidase (GOX) to regenerate α-KG. Additionally, the catalase KatE was adapted to inhibit α-KG degradation by the H2O2 produced during GOX reaction. We searched for the best combination of genes and vectors and optimized the biotransformation conditions to maximize GOX effectiveness. Under the optimized conditions, 5-HV pathway with GOX showed 1.60-fold higher productivity than that of without GOX, showing 11.3 g/L titer. Further, the two-cell system with GOX and KatE was expanded to produce poly(5-hydroxyvaleric acid) (P(5HV)), and it reached at 412 mg/L of P(5HV) production and 20.5% PHA contents when using the biotransformation supernatant. Thus, the two-cell biotransformation system with GOX can potentially give the practical and economic alternative of 5-HV production using bio-based methods. We also propose direct utilization of 5-HV from bioconversion for P(5HV) production.

[PMID: 38399707 PMCID: PMC10892437 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12020303] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Cellulolytic microorganisms play a crucial role in agricultural waste disposal. Strain QXD-8T was isolated from soil in northern China. Similarity analyses of the 16S rRNA gene, as well as the 120 conserved genes in the whole-genome sequence, indicate that it represents a novel species within the genus Microbacterium. The Microbacterium sp. QXD-8T was able to grow on the CAM plate with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as a carbon source at 15 °C, forming a transparent hydrolysis circle after Congo red staining, even though the optimal temperature for the growth and cellulose degradation of strain QXD-8T was 28 °C. In the liquid medium, it effectively degraded cellulose and produced reducing sugars. Functional annotation revealed the presence of encoding genes for the GH5, GH6, and GH10 enzyme families with endoglucanase activity, as well as the GH1, GH3, GH39, and GH116 enzyme families with β-glucosidase activity. Additionally, two proteins in the GH6 family, one in the GH10, and two of nine proteins in the GH3 were predicted to contain a signal peptide and transmembrane region, suggesting their potential for extracellularly degrade cellulose. Based on the physiological features of the type strain QXD-8T, we propose the name Microbacterium psychrotolerans for this novel species. This study expands the diversity of psychrotolerant cellulolytic bacteria and provides a potential microbial resource for straw returning in high-latitude areas at low temperatures.

Abstract
A simple generic method for enhancing extracellular protein yields in engineered bacteria is still lacking. Here, we demonstrated that phage-encoded holin can be used to export proteins to the extracellular medium in both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and -positive Lactococcus lactis. When a putative holin gene LLNZ_RS10380 annotated in the genome of L. lactis NZ9000 (hol380) was recombinantly expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3), the Hol380 oligomerized up to hexamer in the cytoplasmic membrane, yielding membrane pore to allow the passage of cytosolic β-galatosidase (116 kDa), whose extracellular production reached 54.59 U/μL, accounting for 76.37% of the total activity. However, the overexpressed Hol380 could not release cytosolic proteins across the membrane in L. lactis NZ9000, but increased the secretory production of staphylococcal nuclease to 2.55-fold and fimbrial adhesin FaeG to 2.40-fold compared with those guided by signal peptide Usp45 alone. By using a combination of proteomics and transcriptional level analysis, we found that overexpression of the Hol380 raised the accumulation of Ffh and YidC involved in the signal recognition particle pathway in L. lactis, suggesting an alternative road participating in protein secretion. This study proposed a new approach by expressing holin in bacterial cell factories to export target proteins of economic or medical interest. This article is protected by copyright.
