Equilibrium of the intracellular redox state for improving cell growth and L-lysine yield of Corynebacterium glutamicum by optimal cofactor swapping.

ABSTRACT:

Background

NAD(H/⁺) and NADP(H/⁺) are the most important redox cofactors in bacteria. However, the intracellular redox balance is in advantage of the cell growth and production of NAD(P)H-dependent products.

Results

In this paper, we rationally engineered glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) to switch the nucleotide-cofactor specificity resulting in an increase in final titer [from 85.6 to 121.4 g L^-1] and carbon yield [from 0.33 to 0.46 g (g glucose)^-1] of L-lysine in strain RGI in fed-batch fermentation. To do this, we firstly analyzed the production performance of original strain JL-6, indicating that the imbalance of intracellular redox was the limiting factor for L-lysine producti
