Establishment of synthetic microbial consortia with Corynebacterium glutamicum and Pseudomonas putida: Design, construction, and application to production of γ-glutamylisopropylamide and l-theanine.

ABSTRACT: Microbial synthetic consortia are a promising alternative to classical monoculture for biotechnological applications and fermentative processes. Their versatile use offers advantages in the degradation of complex substrates, the allocation of the metabolic burden between individual partners, or the division of labour in energy utilisation, substrate supply or product formation. Here, stable synthetic consortia between the two industrially relevant production hosts, Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032, were established for the first time. By applying arginine auxotrophy/overproduction and/or formamidase-based utilisation of the rare nitrogen source formamide, different types of interaction were realised, such as commensal relationships (+/0 and 0/+) and mutual
