Microbial Production Potential of Pantoea ananatis: From Amino Acids to Secondary Metabolites.

ABSTRACT: Pantoea ananatis, a gram-negative bacterium belonging to the Erwiniaceae family, is a well-known phytopathogen isolated from many ecological niches and plant hosts. However, this bacterium also provides us with various beneficial characteristics, such as the growth promotion of their host plants and increased crop yield. Some isolated non-pathogenic strains are promising for the microbial production of useful substances. P. ananatis AJ13355 was isolated as an acidophilic bacterium and was used as an excellent host to produce L-glutamic acid under acidic conditions. The genome sequence of P. ananatis AJ13355 was determined, and specific genome-engineering technologies were developed. As a result, P. ananatis was successfully used to construct a bacterial s
