Metabolic engineering to improve 1,5‐diaminopentane production from cellobiose using β‐glucosidase‐secreting Corynebacterium glutamicum
2019
: Microbial production of 1,5-diaminopentane (DAP) from renewable feedstock is a promising and sustainable approach for the production of polyamides. In this study, we constructed a β-glucosidase (BGL)-secreting Corynebacterium glutamicum and successfully used this strain to produce DAP from cellobiose and glucose. First, C. glutamicum was metabolically engineered to produce l-lysine (a direct precursor of DAP), followed by the coexpression of l-lysine decarboxylase and BGL derived from Escherichia coli and Thermobifida fusca YX (Tfu0937), respectively. This new engineered C. glutamicum strain produced 27 g/L of DAP from cellobiose in CGXII minimal medium using fed-batch cultivation. The yield of DAP was 0.43 g/g glucose (1 g of cellobiose corresponds to 1.1 g of glucose), which is the highest yield reported to date. These results demonstrate the feasibility of DAP production from cellobiose or cellooligosaccharides using an engineered C. glutamicum strain.
