Engineering of fast-growing Vibrio natriegens for biosynthesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-lactate).

ABSTRACT: Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-lactate) [P(3HB-co-LA)] is a highly promising valuable biodegradable material with good biocompatibility and degradability. Vibrio natriegens, owing to its fast-growth, wide substrate spectrum characteristics, was selected to produce P(3HB-co-LA). Herein, the crucial role of acetyltransferase PN96-18060 for PHB synthesis in V. natriegens was identified. Heterologous pathway of P(3HB-co-LA) was introduced into V. natriegens successfully, in addition, overexpression of the dldh gene led to 1.84 fold enhancement of the lactate content in P(3HB-co-LA). Finally, the production of P(3HB-co-LA) was characterized under different carbon sources. The lactate fraction in P(3HB-co-LA) was increased to 28.3 mol% by the modification, about 1.84 times of that of the control. Thi
