Definitions
- the present Invention is related to the field of industrial microbiology and genetic engineering of organisms. More specifically the present invention relates to metabolic engineering of Clostridia such as Clostridium acetobutylicum. Even more specifically, the invention relates to overexpression of enzymes from the butanol metabolic pathway, namely crotonase (Crt), butyryl-CoA
- Butanol is an advanced biofuel because it can be used in existing gasoline-powered vehicles and other liquid-fueled processes without technical modifications.
- ABE acetone- butanol-ethanol
- strains from genus Clostridium was employed since 1920s for industrial butanol and acetone production.
- industrial ABE fermentation declined rapidly after the 1950s as a result of the cheaper petrochemical production routes.
- solventogenic Clostridia have regained much interest recently due to their unique metabolic capacity of n-butanol production from renewable resources.
- Solventogenic Clostridia are strains that produce organic chemical compounds (primary metabolites), including butanol, ethanol and acetone, particularly butanol. Solventogenic Clostridia are strictly anaerobic, endospore forming bacteria. Solventogenic Clostridia metabolize carbohydrates, including glucose, cellulose and hemicellulose. Solventogenic Clostridia are reviewed by Papoutsakis in Current Opinion in Biotechnology 2008, 19:420-429.
- C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum and C. saccharobutylicum with C. acetobutylicum being the model organism of solvent producing Clostridia for scientific research (Diirre P. 2011. Fermentative production of butanol - the academic perspective. Curr Opin Biotechnol 22:331 -336.)
- the fermentation of sugars by Clostridia typically causes three different growth phases: (i) exponential growth and formation of acids, (ii) transition to stationary growth phase with re- assimilation of acids and concomitant formation of solvents and (iii) formation of endospores.
- Sugars such as glucose or xylose are catabolized to pyruvate, and acetyl-CoA is primarily formed by the pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase.
- lactate can be the major fermentation product.
- WO2012045022 describes the overexpression of alcohol/aldehyde dehydrogenase and butanol dehydrogenase in a non-butanol producing strain of Clostridium tyrobutyricum. The production of butanol was demonstrated, however at a lower level than wt Clostridium acetobutylicum. A similar approach has been tried in application KR201 10033086. Comparable data are shown in (Sillers R et al, 2008 Metab Eng 10:321 -332.), where no significant increase in butanol production was achieved. A slightly different approach was described in CN10261979. In addition to Adh, overexpression tests with Acetoacetyl-acylCoA transferase were performed. However, the achieved increase of butanol level was not significant.
- the object of the present invention is thus to provide an improved process for the microbial production of butanol, and to provide microbial cells for such a process.
- the invention thus provides a method for producing butanol, comprising the steps of fermenting a medium containing a sugar, or a precursor thereof, with a Clostridium cell with the ability to produce butanol, wherein the cell comprises a genetic modification that results in overexpression of one or more of the following genes:
- Control C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824/pT (vector control); pJ::hbd, C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824/pT v.hbd; olv.crt, C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824/pT::crt; pT::bcd, C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824/pT v.bcd.
- overexpression strain Utilization of glucose, production of biomass, production of organic acids acetate, butyrate, and production of solvents acetone, ethanol and butanol is shown.
- White circles present performance of the bed overexpression strain in liter scale reactor and black circles present strain performance in milliliter scale reactor. Performance of maternal strain with wt genotype is presented with grey line. Error bars stay for standard deviation from 3 independent experiments.
- the cells for use in the method of the present invention are Clostridium cells with the ability to produce butanol, wherein the cell comprises a genetic modification that results in overexpression of one or more of the following genes:
