제목 Delvelopment of an amino acid-based 1-propanol production pathway via metabolic engineering in Escherichia coli
초록 1-propanol has been considered as a next generation biofuel that can be used as a gasoline substitute. Here we suggest a novel biosynthetic pathway for 1-propanol production using an amino acid overproducing Escherichia coli strain. The highest titer of 1-propanol (3.5 g/L), performed by Atsumi et al., has been  produced in metabolically engineered Escherichia coli harboring Methanococcus jannaschii citramalate synthase (CimA), which converts pyruvate directly into 2-ketobutyrate. The previously reported L-threonine overproducing E. coli TH20 strain was used in this study. Deletion of competing pathways and in silico flux response analysis for the carbon source optimization successfully generated an E. coli strain producing 1-propanol. Additional metabolic engineering of the resulting strain further improved the titer.
