Abstract	Escherichia coli TC44, a derivative of W3110, was engineered for the production of pyruvate from glucose by combining mutations to minimize ATP yield, cell growth, and CO2 production (ΔatpFH ΔadhE ΔsucA) with mutations that eliminate acetate production [poxB::FRT (FLP recognition target) ΔackA] and fermentation products (ΔfocA-pflB ΔfrdBC ΔldhA ΔadhE). In mineral salts medium containing glucose as the sole carbon source, strain TC44(ΔfocA-pflB ΔfrdBC ΔldhA ΔatpFH ΔadhE ΔsucA poxB::FRT ΔackA) converted glucose to pyruvate with a yield of 0.75 g of pyruvate per g of glucose (77.9% of theoretical yield; 1.2 g of pyruvate liters–1·h–1). A maximum of 749 mM pyruvate was produced with excess glucose. Glycolytic flux was >50% faster for TC44 producing pyruvate than for the wild-type W3110 during fully aerobic metabolism. The tolerance of E. coli to such drastic changes in metabolic flow and energy production implies considerable elasticity in permitted pool sizes for key metabolic intermediates such as pyruvate and acetyl-CoA. In strain TC44, pyruvate yield, pyruvate titer, and the rate of pyruvate production in mineral salts medium were equivalent or better than previously reported for other biocatalyts (yeast and bacteria) requiring complex vitamin feeding strategies and complex nutrients. TC44 offers the potential to improve the economics of pyruvate production by reducing the costs of materials, product purification, and waste disposal.
