Abstract
Biotin, serving as a coenzyme in carboxylation reactions, is a vital nutrient crucial for the natural growth, development, and overall well-being of both humans and animals. Consequently, biotin is widely utilized in various industries, including feed, food, and pharmaceuticals. Despite its potential advantages, the chemical synthesis of biotin for commercial production encounters environmental and safety challenges. The burgeoning field of synthetic biology now allows for the creation of microbial cell factories producing bio-based products, offering a cost-effective alternative to chemical synthesis for biotin production. This review outlines the pathway and regulatory mechanism involved in biotin biosynthesis. Then, the strategies to enhance biotin production through both traditional chemical mutagenesis and advanced metabolic engineering are discussed. Finally, the article explores the limitations and future prospects of microbial biotin production. This comprehensive review not only discusses strategies for biotin enhancement but also provides in-depth insights into systematic metabolic engineering approaches aimed at boosting biotin production.

Migration Rates on Swim Plates Vary between Escherichia coli Soil Isolates: Differences Are Associated with Variants in Metabolic Genes. Appl Environ Microbiol 2023; 89:e0172722. [PMID: 36695629 PMCID: PMC9972950 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01727-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
This study investigates migration phenotypes of 265 Escherichia coli soil isolates from the Buffalo River basin in Minnesota, USA. Migration rates on semisolid tryptone swim plates ranged from nonmotile to 190% of the migration rate of a highly motile E. coli K-12 strain. The nonmotile isolate, LGE0550, had mutations in flagellar and chemotaxis genes, including two IS3 elements in the flagellin-encoding gene fliC. A genome-wide association study (GWAS), associating the migration rates with genetic variants in specific genes, yielded two metabolic variants (rygD-serA and metR-metE) with previous implications in chemotaxis. As a novel way of confirming GWAS results, we used minimal medium swim plates to confirm the associations. Other variants in metabolic genes and genes that are associated with biofilm were positively or negatively associated with migration rates. A determination of growth phenotypes on Biolog EcoPlates yielded differential growth for the 10 tested isolates on d-malic acid, putrescine, and d-xylose, all of which are important in the soil environment. IMPORTANCE E. coli is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium whose life cycle includes extra host environments in addition to human, animal, and plant hosts. The bacterium has the genomic capability of being motile. In this context, the significance of this study is severalfold: (i) the great diversity of migration phenotypes that we observed within our isolate collection supports previous (G. NandaKafle, A. A. Christie, S. Vilain, and V. S. Brözel, Front Microbiol 9:762, 2018, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2018.00762; Y. Somorin, F. Abram, F. Brennan, and C. O'Byrne, Appl Environ Microbiol 82:4628-4640, 2016, https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.01175-16) ideas of soil promoting phenotypic heterogeneity, (ii) such heterogeneity may facilitate bacterial growth in the many different soil niches, and (iii) such heterogeneity may enable the bacteria to interact with human, animal, and plant hosts.

Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11111706. [PMID: 34827704 PMCID: PMC8616028 DOI: 10.3390/biom11111706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Revised: 10/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) are important intermediates that are widely present in living organisms. Large-scale preparation and application of ATP or SAM is limited by expensive raw materials. To lower the production costs for ATP/SAM, in this study we used strategies applying engineered multidomain scaffold proteins to synthesize ATP and SAM. An artificial scaffold protein containing CBM3 domain, IM proteins and CL-labeled proteins was assembled to form complex 1 for catalytic reactions to increase ATP production. The ATP synthesis system produced approximately 25 g/L of ATP with approximately 15 g/L of ADP and 5 g/L of AMP using 12.5 g/L of adenosine and 40 g/L of sodium hexametaphosphate reaction at 35 °C and a pH of 8.5 for 6 h. Based on the above ATP synthesis system, two CL-labeled methionine adenosyltransferases (CL9-MAT4 and CL9-MAT5) were applied to construct scaffold protein complex 2 to achieve SAM synthesis. Approximately 25 μg of MAT4 in a reaction system with 0.3 M MgCl2 catalyzed at 20 °C and a pH of 8 catalyzed 0.5 g/L of l-Met to produce approximately 0.9 g/L of SAM. Approximately 25 μg of MAT5 in a reaction system with 0.7 M MgCl2 catalyzed at 35 °C and a pH of 8 catalyzed 0.5 g/L of l-Met to produce approximately 1.2 g/L of SAM. Here, we showed that low-cost substrates can be efficiently converted into high-value additional ATP and SAM via multi-enzyme catalytic reactions by engineered multidomain scaffold proteins.

Abstract
S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) has been attracting increasing attention because of its significance in the pharmaceutical industry; however, the high cost of this compound limits its application. Tofu yellow serofluid exhibits high nutritional value and is not costly; therefore, it can be utilized as a substrate in the fermentation industry. In the current study, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cultured in the tofu yellow serofluid fermentation medium for the SAM biosynthesis. The optimum tofu yellow serofluid fermentation medium contained 70 g/L of glucose, 30 % of yellow serofluid, 20 g/L of l-methionine, and 2.5 g/L of ammonium citrate. Under these conditions, the optimum feeding strategy was established. The results revealed that the dry cell weight (DCW) reached 123.1 g/L, the maximum production of SAM was 16.14 g/L, the highest SAM productivity reached 1.048 g/L/h, and SAM content was determined at 131.1 mg/g DCW. Furthermore, addition of tofu yellow serofluid reduced the average cost of SAM by 31.9 % to compare with the culture process without addition of tofu yellow serofluid. Thus, the tofu yellow serofluid fermentation medium improved the production of SAM and significantly reduced the production costs.
