Metabolic engineering of Aureobasidium melanogenum for the overproduction of putrescine by improved L-ornithine biosynthesis

Aureobasidium melanogenum HN6.2 is a high siderophore-producing yeast-like fungal strain. After blocking siderophore biosynthesis and attenuating the expression of the ornithine carbamoyltransferase gene (the OTC gene), the obtained D-LCFAO-cre strain produced 2.1 +/- 0.02 mg of intracellular L-ornithine per mg of the protein. The overexpression of the L-ornithine decarboxylase gene (the SPE1-S gene) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the mutant D-LCFAO-cre could make the transformant E-SPE1-S synthesize 3.6 +/- 0.1 of intracellular ornithine per mg of protein and produce 10.5 g/L of putrescine. The further overexpression of the ArgB/C gene encoding bifunctional acetylglutamate kinase/N-acetyl-gamma-glutamyl-phosphate reductase in the transformant E-SPE1-S caused the transformant E-SPE1-S-ArgB/C to accumulate L-ornithine (4.2 mg/mg protein) and to produce 21.3 g/L of putrescine. During fed-batch fermentation, the transformant E-SPE1-S-ArgB/C could produce 33.4 g/L of putrescine, the yield was 0.96 g/g of glucose, and the productivity was 0.28 g/L/h. The putrescine titer was much higher than that produced by most engineered strains obtained thus far.
