Enhanced limonene production in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942


ABSTRACT: In this study, through computational modeling and synthetic biology tools, we identified and overcame a key flux controlling node in MEP-derived terpene biosynthesis in cyanobacteria. This strategy bypasses the limitation in traditional stepwise metabolic engineering, and led to significantly higher terpene productivity. Moreover, our results revealed photosynthesis limitations during high level of terpene production. We suggest that fine-tuning energy and reductant requirement could be a key factor in establishing a viable ‘non-native’ terpene sink in photosynthetic systems.

Terpenes are the major secondary metabolites produced by plants, and have diverse industrial applications as pharmaceuticals, fragrance, solvents, and biofuels. Cyanobacteria are equipped with efficient carbon fixation mechanism, and are ideal cell factories to produce various fuel and chemical products. Past efforts to produce terpenes in photosynthetic organisms have gained only limited success. Here we engineered the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 to efficiently produce limon  ...[more]
