Threonine aldolase overexpression plus threonine supplementation enhanced riboflavin production in Ashbya gossypii.
Riboflavin production in the filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii is limited by glycine, an early precursor required for purine synthesis. We report an improvement of riboflavin production in this fungus by overexpression of the glycine biosynthetic enzyme threonine aldolase. The GLY1 gene encoding the threonine aldolase of A. gossypii was isolated by heterologous complementation of the glycine-a...
متن کاملEnzymatic Breakdown of Threonine by Threonine Aldolase
1. The enzyme which splits threonine to acetaldehyde and glycine has been partially purified from rat liver (five- to sixfold purification) and the name threonine aldolase proposed for it. 2. The general properties of threonine aldolase have been studied. The enzyme is unstable to a pH below 5. The pH optimum of the enzyme reaction is at 7.5-7.7. The initial rate of production of acetaldehyde i...
متن کاملImprovement of Riboflavin Production Using Mineral Support in the Culture of Ashbya gossypii
Riboflavin production in a culture of Ashbya gossypii was enhanced by adding mineral support with adsorbed soybean oil. When the support in an amount of 1 % to the amount of medium was added into the culture at agitation intensity corresponding to impeller rotation rate of 600 rpm, the attained riboflavin concentration was 2.5 g/L at the culture time of 4 days, i.e. 1.6 times higher than that i...
متن کاملGenome scale metabolic modeling of the riboflavin overproducer Ashbya gossypii.
Ashbya gossypii is a filamentous fungus that naturally overproduces riboflavin, or vitamin B2. Advances in genetic and metabolic engineering of A. gossypii have permitted the switch from industrial chemical synthesis to the current biotechnological production of this vitamin. Additionally, A. gossypii is a model organism with one of the smallest eukaryote genomes being phylogenetically close to...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering of riboflavin production in Ashbya gossypii through pathway optimization
BACKGROUND The industrial production of riboflavin mostly relies on the microbial fermentation of flavinogenic microorganisms and Ashbya gossypii is the main industrial producer of the vitamin. Accordingly, bioengineering strategies aimed at increasing riboflavin production in A. gossypii are highly valuable for industry. RESULTS We analyze the contribution of all the RIB genes to the product...
