Acetate production from corn stover hydrolysate using recombinant Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) with an EP-bifido pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acetate is an important chemical feedstock widely applied in the food, chemical and textile industries. It is now mainly produced from petrochemical materials through chemical processes. Conversion of lignocellulose biomass to acetate by biotechnological pathways is both environmentally beneficial and cost-effective. However, acetate production from carbohydrate in lignocellulose hydrolysate via glycolytic pathways involving pyruvate decarboxylation often suffers from the carbon loss and results in low acetate yield.

Results

Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) was confirmed to have high tolerance to acetate in this work. Thus, it was selected from seven laboratory E. coli strains for acetate production from lignocellulose hydrolysate. The byproduct-producing genes frdA, l
