| Abstract | Isoprene, a key building block of synthetic rubber, is currently produced entirely from petrochemical sources. Previous metabolic engineering efforts, centered on heterologous expression of the mevalonate pathway, have resulted in isoprene production by microbial fermentation of sugars. To produce isoprene directly from CO2, we engineered the isoprene biosynthetic pathway in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus, with guidance provided by dynamic flux analysis and metabolite profiling. The methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway was selected for cyanobacterial isoprene synthesis based on comparison of carbon efficiency and the precursor driving force between the MEP pathway and the mevalonate pathway. Plant-derived isoprene synthases with high activities were introduced, followed by increasing the ratio of dimethylallyl pyrophosphate to isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) by overexpression of IPP isomerase (IDI), further improvement in isoprene production activity by direct fusion of IDI and isoprene synthase, and relieving an MEP pathway bottleneck identified by kinetic flux profiling. The engineered strain directed about 40% of photosynthetically fixed carbon toward the isoprene biosynthetic pathway, resulting in the production of 1.26 g L−1 of isoprene from CO2, which is a significant increase for terpenoid production by photoautotrophic microorganisms. The strains developed in this study can serve as platform hosts for photosynthetic production of diverse terpenoids from CO2. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
