Systems metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum to assimilate formic acid for biomass accumulation and succinic acid production
Bioresource Technology(2024)
摘要
Formate as an ideal mediator between the physicochemical and biological realms can be obtained from electrochemical reduction of CO2 and used to produce bio-chemicals. Yet, limitations arise when employing natural formate-utilizing microorganisms due to restricted product range and low biomass yield. This study presents a breakthrough: engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum strains (L2-L4) through modular engineering. L2 incorporates the formate-tetrahydrofolate cycle and reverse glycine cleavage pathway, L3 enhances NAD(P)H regeneration, and L4 reinforces metabolic flux. Metabolic modeling elucidates C1 assimilation, guiding strain optimization for co-fermentation of formate and glucose. Strain L4 achieves an OD600 of 0.5 and produces 0.6 g/L succinic acid. 13C-labeled formate confirms C1 assimilation, and further laboratory evolution yields 1.3 g/L succinic acid. This study showcases a successful model for biologically assimilating formate in C. glutamicum that could be applied in C1-based biotechnological production, ultimately forming a formate-based bioeconomy.
