Multiple Metabolic Engineering Strategies to Improve Shikimate Titer in Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: Shikimate is a valuable chiral precursor for synthesizing oseltamivir (Tamiflu^®) and other chemicals. High production of shikimate via microbial fermentation has attracted increasing attention to overcome the unstable and expensive supply of shikimate extracted from plant resources. The current cost of microbial production of shikimate via engineered strains is still unsatisfactory, and thus more metabolic strategies need to be investigated to further increase the production efficiency. In this study, we first constructed a shikimate E. coli producer through the application of the non-phosphoenolpyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (non-PTS) glucose uptake pathway, the attenuation of the shikimate degradation metabolism, and the introduction of a mutant of fee
