additional information | xylitol is produced from xylose via the NADPH dependent reductase, a two-stage dynamic control over feedback regulatory mechanisms improves NADPH flux and xylitol biosynthesis in engineered Escherichia coli, method evaluation, overview. Comparison of two approaches to optimize xylitol biosynthesis: a stoichiometric approach wherein competitive fluxes are decreased, and a regulatory approach wherein the levels of key regulatory metabolites are reduced. The stoichiometric and regulatory approaches lead to a 20fold and 90fold improvement in xylitol production, respectively. Strains with reduced levels of enoyl-ACP reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, lead to altered metabolite pools resulting in the activation of the membrane bound transhydrogenase and an NADPH generation pathway, consisting of pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase coupled with NADPH dependent ferredoxin reductase, causing increased NADPH fluxes, despite a reduction in NADPH pools. These strains produce titers of 200 g/l of xylitol from xylose at 86% of theoretical yield in instrumented bioreactors | Escherichia coli |
