Development of Corynebacterium glutamicum as a monoterpene production platform

ABSTRACT: Monoterpenes are commonly known for their role in the flavors and fragrances industry and are also gaining attention for other uses like insect repellant and as potential renewable fuels for aviation. Corynebacterium glutamicum, a Generally Recognized as Safe microbe, has been a choice organism in industry for the annual million ton-scale bioproduction of amino acids for more than 50 years; however, efforts to produce monoterpenes in C. glutamicum have remained relatively limited. In this study, we report a further expansion of the C. glutamicum biosynthetic repertoire through the development and optimization of a mevalonate-based monoterpene platform. In the course of our initial plasmid design iterations, we demonstrated an increased flux through the mevalonate-based bypass pathway to increase isoprenol production to the highest reported titers to date at nearly 1.5 g/L. These designs also evaluated the effects of backbone, promoter, and GPP synthase homolog source on product titers. Monoterpene production was further improved by disrupting competing pathways for isoprenoid precursor supply and by implementing a biphasic production system to prevent volatilization. With this platform, we achieved 486.3 mg/L (± 54.6 mg/L) of geranoids, 557.3 mg/L of 1,8-cineole (± 12.3 mg/L), and 209.7 mg/L of linalool (±23.9 mg/L). Furthermore, we determined that C. glutamicum oxidizes geraniol through an aldehyde intermediate before asymmetrically reducing geraniol to citronellol.

Ensemble and iterative engineering for maximal bioconversion to the blue pigment, Indigoidine from non-canonical sustainable carbon sources.

Project description:While many heterologous molecules can be produced at trace concentrations via microbial bioconversion processes, maximizing their titers, rates, and yields from lignin-derived carbon streams remains challenging. Strong growth coupling can not only increase titers and yields but also shift the production period from stationary phase to growth phase. These methods however require multi-gene edits for implementation which may be initially perceived as impractical. Here, we evaluated 4,114 potential solutions to pair growth on para-coumarate to indigoidine production and prototype two cutsets in Pseudomonas putida KT2440. The implemented design was enhanced using adaptive lab evolution and the resulting strains were characterized for emergent phenotypes. Using x-ray tomography we revealed increased cell density in this strain. Proteomics identified two upregulated peroxidases that mitigate increased reactive oxygen species formation. Nine additional stepwise modifications informed by model-guided and rational approaches realized a growth coupled strain that produced 7.3 g/L indigoidine at 77% yield in minimal salt media. These ensemble strategies provide a blueprint for producing target molecules at high product titers, rates, and yields.

Maximizing Heterologous Expression of Engineered Type I Polyketide Synthases: Investigating Codon Optimization Strategies

Project description:Type I polyketide synthases (T1PKSs) hold an enormous potential as a rational production platform for the biosynthesis of speciality chemicals. However, despite the great progress in this field, the heterologous expression of PKSs remains a major challenge. One of the first measures to improve heterologous gene expression can be codon optimization. Although controversial, choosing the wrong codon optimization strategy can have detrimental effects on protein and product levels. In this study, we analyzed 11 different codon variants of an engineered T1PKS and investigated in a systematic approach their influence on heterologous expression in Corynebacterium glutamicum, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas putida. Our best performing codon variants exhibited a minimum 50-fold increase in PKS protein levels, which also enables the production of an unnatural polyketide in each of the hosts. Furthermore, we developed a free online tool (https://basebuddy.lbl.gov) that offers transparent and highly customizable codon optimization with up-to-date codon usage tables. Here, we not only highlight the significance of codon optimization but also establish the groundwork for high-throughput assembly and characterization of PKS pathways in alternative hosts.

Edible mycelium bioengineered for enhanced nutritional value and sensory appeal using a new synthetic biology toolkit

Project description:Genetic engineering of filamentous fungi has promise for accelerating the transition to a more sustainable food system and enhancing the nutritional value, sensory appeal, and scalability of microbial foods. However, genetic tools and demonstrated use cases for bioengineered food production by edible strains are lacking. Here, we developed a synthetic biology toolkit for Aspergillus oryzae, an edible fungus traditionally used in fermented foods and currently used in protein production and meat alternatives. Our toolkit includes a CRISPR-Cas9 method for genome integration, neutral loci, and new promoters. We use these tools to enhance the elevate levels of the nutraceutical ergothioneine and intracellular heme in the edible biomass. The biomass overproducing heme is red in color and is readily formulated into imitation meat patties with minimal processing. These findings highlight the promise of genetic approaches to enhance fungal meat alternatives and provide useful engineering tools for diverse applications in fungal food production and beyond.

Complete integration of carbene-transfer chemistry into biosynthesis

Project description:Biosynthesis is an environmentally friendly and renewable way to synthesize a broad range of natural and some new-to-nature products; however, it lacks many of the reactions and flexibility of synthetic chemistry, an example being carbene mediated reactions. While it was recently shown that these reactions can be imported into the cell, carbene donors and unnatural cofactors needed to be added exogenously to the cells, precluding cost-effective scale-up of the reaction. Here we identified a biosynthetic gene cluster that when expressed in Streptomyces albus will produce the diazo compound azaserine, which we also demonstrated can serve as a carbene donor across a carbon-carbon double bond in another intracellularly produced molecule, styrene, thereby producing a cyclopropanated product. The reaction was catalyzed with P450 mutants harboring a native cofactor with excellent diastereoselectivity and moderate yield. This work establishes a platform for introducing carbene mediated reactions into microbes for bio-manufacture and contributes to sustainable green chemistry.

Proteomic analysis reveals global iron starvation response to metal mixture exposure in a Bacillus cereus strain native to a heavy metal contaminated site

Project description:Globally, multiple heavy metal contamination is an increasingly common problem. As heavy metals have the potential to disrupt microbially-mediated biogeochemical cycling, it is critical to understand their impact on microbial physiology. However, systems-level studies on the effects of a combination of heavy metals on bacteria are lacking. Here, we use a native Bacillus cereus isolate from the subsurface of the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR; Oak Ridge, TN, USA) subsurface— representing a highly abundant species at the site— to assess the combined impact of eight metal contaminants. Using this metal mixture and individual metals, all at concentrations based on the ORR site geochemistry, we performed growth experiments and proteomic analyses of the B. cereus strain, in combination with targeted MS-based metabolomics and gene expression profiling. We found that the combination of eight metals impacts cell physiology in a manner that could not have been predicted from summing phenotypic responses to the individual metals. Specifically, exposure to the metal mixture elicited global iron starvation responses not observed in any of the individual metal treatments. As nitrate is also a significant contaminant at the ORR site and nitrate and nitrite reductases are iron-containing enzymes, we also examined the effects of the metal mixture on reduction of nitrogen oxides. We found that the metal mixture inhibits the activity of these enzymes through a combination of direct enzymatic damage and post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation. Altogether, these data suggest that metal mixture studies are critical for understanding how multiple rather than individual metals influence microbial processes in the environment.

Exploring the secretome of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032

Project description:The demand for alternative sources of food proteins is increasing due to the limitations and challenges associated with conventional food production. Advances in biotechnology have enabled the production of proteins using microorganisms, thus prompting the exploration of attractive microbial hosts capable of producing functional proteins in high titers. Corynebacterium glutamicum is widely used in industry for the production of amino acids and has many advantages as a host organism for recombinant protein production. However, its performance in this area is limited by low yields of target proteins and high levels of native protein secretion. Despite representing a challenge for heterologous protein production, the C. glutamicum secretome has not been fully characterized. In this study, state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based proteomics was used to identify and analyze the proteins secreted by C. glutamicum. Both the wild-type strain and a strain that produced and secreted a recombinant ß-lactoglobulin protein were analyzed. A total of 427 proteins were identified in the culture supernatants, with 148 predicted to possess a secretion signal peptide. The top 12 most abundant proteins accounted for almost 80% of the secretome. These are uncharacterized proteins of unknown function, resuscitation promoting factors, protein PS1, Porin B, ABC-type transporter protein and hypothetical membrane protein. The data from this study can provide valuable insight for researchers looking to improve protein secretion and optimize C. glutamicum as a host for secretory protein production.

Rational engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum for the production of the dicarboxylic acid glutarate

Project description:The dicarboxylic acid glutarate is gaining attention in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry as promising building-block. Synthesis of glutarate via microbial fermentation is a desirable aim which will allow the production of biopolymers avoiding fossil raw materials. Here, by rational metabolic engineering of the biofactory microorganism Corynebacterium glutamicum the fermentative production of glutarate from glucose was established. Modifications focused on increase glucose consumption and reduce by-products formation together with the heterologous overexpression of the L-lysine decarboxylase, putrescine transaminase and putrescine dehydrogenase genes from E. coli in the L-lysine producer GRLys1 allowed production the glutarate precursor 5-aminovalerate. Additional heterologous overexpression of 5-aminovalerate amino transferase and glutarate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase genes from C. glutamicum and three Pseudomonas species enabled glutarate synthesis from glucose. By coupling glutarate production with the glutamate synthesis of C. glutamicum glutarate titer improved 10%. The final strain was tested in a glucose-based fed-batch fermentation

Ciprofloxacin triggers L-glutamate production by Corynebacterium glutamicum

Project description:Ciprofloxacin, an inhibitor of bacterial gyrase and topoisomerase IV, was shown to inhibit growth of C. glutamicum with concomitant excretion of L-glutamate. C. glutamicum strains overproducing L-lysine, L-arginine, L-ornithine, and putrescine, respectively, produced L-glutamate instead of the desired amino acid when exposed to ciprofloxacin. Even in the absence of the putative L-glutamate exporter gene yggB, ciprofloxacin effectively triggered L-glutamate production. When C. glutamicum wild type was cultivated under nitrogen-limiting conditions, 2-oxoglutarate rather than L-glutamate was produced as consequence of exposure to ciprofloxacin. Transcriptome analysis revealed that ciprofloxacin increased RNA levels of genes involved in DNA synthesis, repair and modification. Enzyme assays showed that 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase activity was decreased due to ciprofloxacin addition. Here, it was shown for the first time that production of L-glutamate by C. glutamicum may be triggered by an inhibitor of DNA synthesis and L-glutamate titers of up to 37 ± 1 mM and a substrate specific L-glutamate yield of 0.13 g/g were reached.

Alkaline-SDS cell lysis with acetone protein precipitation for proteomic sample preparation of microbes in 96-well plate format

Project description:Automated proteomic sample preparation offers a solution to the large sample throughput demands in the biotechnology field where hundreds or thousands of engineered microbes are constructed for testing is routine. Meanwhile, sample preparation methods that work efficiently on broader microbial groups are desirable for new applications of proteomics in other fields, such as microbial communities. Here, we detail a step-by-step protocol that consists of cell lysis in alkaline chemical buffer (NaOH/SDS) followed by protein precipitation with high-ionic strength acetone in 96-well format. The protocol works for a broad range of microbes (e.g Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, non-filamentous fungi) and the resulting proteins are ready for tryptic digestion for bottom-up quantitative proteomic analysis without the need for desalting column cleanup.

Engineering Corynebacterium glutamicum to produce the biogasoline isopentenol from plant biomass hydrolysates

Project description:Background. Many microbial hosts used for the rapid discovery and development of metabolic pathways can have sensitivities to final products and process reagents. Isopentenol, a biogasoline candidate, has an established heterologous gene pathway but is toxic to many microbial hosts. Reagents used in the pretreatment of plant biomass, such as ionic liquids, also inhibit growth of many host strains. We explored the use of Corynebacterium glutamicum as an alternative host to address these constraints. Results. We found C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 to be tolerant to both the final product, isopentenol, as well to three classes ionic liquids. A heterologous mevalonate-based isopentenol pathway was engineered in C. glutamicum. Isopentenol titers were improved via three routes: media optimization; substitution of an NADH-dependent HmgR homolog from Silicibacter pomeroyi; and development of a C. glutamicum ∆poxB ∆ldhA host chassis.
