Engineering Escherichia coli for high-yield production of ectoine

Ectoine is a natural macromolecule protector and synthesized by some extremophiles.It provides protections against radiation-mediated oxidative damages and is widely used as a bioactive ingredient in pharmaceutics and cosmetics.To meet its growing commercial demands,we engineered Escherichia coli strains for the high-yield production of ectoine.The ectABC gene cluster from the native ectoine producer Halomonas elongata was intro-duced into different Escherichia coli(E.Coil)strains via plasmids and 0.8 g L-1 of ectoine was produced in flask cultures by engineered E.coli BL21(DE3).Subsequently,we designed the ribosome-binding sites of the gene cluster to fine-tune the expressions of genes ectA,ectB,and ectC,which increased the ectoine yield to 1.6 g L-1.After further combinatorial overexpression of Corynebacterium glutamicum aspartate kinase mutant(G1A,C932T)and the H.elongate aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase to increase the supply of the precursor,the titer of ectoine reached to 5.5 g L1 in flask cultures.Finally,the engineered strain produced 60.7 g L1 ectoine in fed-batch cultures with a conversion rate of 0.25 g/g glucose.
