摘要
Aiming to overcome the depletion of fossil fuels and serious environmental pollution, biofuels such as isobutanol have garnered increased attention. Among different synthesis methods, the microbial fermentation of isobutanol from raw substrate is a promising strategy due to its low cost and environmentally friendly and optically pure products. As an important component of lignocellulosics and the second most common sugar in nature, xylose has become a promising renewable resource for microbial production. However, bottlenecks in xylose utilization limit its wide application as substrates. In this work, an isobutanol synthetic pathway from xylose was first constructed in E. coli MG1655 through the combination of the Ehrlich and Dahms pathways. The engineering of xylose transport and electron transport chain complexes further improved xylose assimilation and isobutanol production. By optimizing xylose supplement concentration, the recombinant E. coli strain BWL4 could produce 485.35 mg/L isobutanol from 20 g/L of xylose. To our knowledge, this is the first report related to isobutanol production using xylose as a sole carbon source in E. coli. Additionally, a glucose-xylose mixture was utilized as the carbon source. The Entner-Doudorof pathway was used to assimilate glucose, and the Ehrlich pathway was applied for isobutanol production. After carefully engineering the recombinant E. coli, strain BWL9 could produce 528.72 mg/L isobutanol from a mixture of 20 g/L glucose and 10 g/L xylose. The engineering strategies applied in this work provide a useful reference for the microbial production of isobutanol from xylose or glucose-xylose mixture.
