Multiple Cofactor Engineering Strategies to Enhance Pyridoxine Production in Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: Pyridoxine, also known as vitamin B₆, is an essential cofactor in numerous cellular processes. Its importance in various applications has led to a growing interest in optimizing its production through microbial biosynthesis. However, an imbalance in the net production of NADH disrupts intracellular cofactor levels, thereby limiting the efficient synthesis of pyridoxine. In our study, we focused on multiple cofactor engineering strategies, including the enzyme design involved in NAD⁺-dependent enzymes and NAD⁺ regeneration through the introduction of heterologous NADH oxidase (Nox) coupled with the reduction in NADH production during glycolysis. Finally, the engineered E. coli achieved a pyridoxine titer of 676 mg/L in a shake flask within 48 h by enh
