ABSTRACT
As a valuable platform chemical, 2,3-Butanediol (2,3-BDO) has a variety of industrial applications, and its microbial production is particularly attractive as an alternative to petroleum-based production. In this study, the regulation of intracellular carbon flux and NADH/NAD+ was used to increase the 2,3-BDO production of Enterobacter aerogenes. The genes encoding lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) and pyruvate formate lyase (pfl) were disrupted using the λ-Red recombination method and CRISPR-Cas9 to reduce the production of several byproducts and the consumption of NADH. Knockout of ldh or pfl increased intracellular NADH/NAD+ by 111 % and 113 %, respectively. Moreover, two important genes in the 2,3-BDO biosynthesis pathway, acetolactate synthase (budB) and acetoin reductase (budC), were overexpressed in E. aerogenes to further amply the metabolic flux toward 2,3-BDO production. And the overexpression of budB or budC increased intracellular NADH/NAD+ by 46 % and 57 %, respectively. In shake-flask cultivation with sucrose as carbon source, the 2,3-BDO titer of the IAM1183-LPBC was 3.55 times that of the wild type. In the 5-L fermenter, the maximal 2,3-BDO production produced by the IAM1183-LPBC was 2.88 times that of the original strain. This work offers new ideas for promoting the biosynthesis of 2,3-BDO for industrial applications.
