| Description | Journal: Bioengineered We sought to produce mevalonate, an important organic acid, by recombinant Escherichia coli, using acetic acid, a less costly alternative feedstock, as a carbon source. In this study, the mevalonate biosynthesis pathway originating with acetate was constructed in recombinant E. coli, resulting in the production of 1.06 g $L^{−1}$ mevalonate with a productivity of 0.03 g $L^{−1}$ $h^{−1}$ in a 5-L bioreactor. The mevalonate concentration and productivity were significantly enhanced with increased cell density during 2-stage aerobic fermentation, reaching 7.85 g $L^{−1}$ and 0.13 g $L^{−1}$ $h^{−1}$, respectively. Fed-batch fermentation was further optimized under anaerobic and microaerobic conditions, and mevalonate concentrations reached 3.05 g $L^{−1}$ and 4.97 g $L^{−1}$, respectively, indicating that the oxygen supply exerts a large impact on mevalonate production from acetate. This study describes a method with high potential to produce mevalonate with the engineered E. coli strain XU143 using the less costly alternative feedstock acetate as a carbon source. |
