  • Title: Regulation of 3-hydroxyhexanoate composition in PHBH synthesized by recombinant Cupriavidus necator H16 from plant oil by using butyrate as a co-substrate.

    Journal: J Biosci Bioeng; 2015 Sep; 120(3):246-51. PubMed ID: 25805434.
    Abstract:
    A (R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HH) composition-regulating technology for poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) production was developed using recombinant Cupriavidus necator H16 with butyrate as a co-substrate. A new (R)-3-hydroxyhexanoyl-CoA ((R)-3HH-CoA) synthesis pathway was designed and enhanced by replacing the PHA synthase gene (phaC1) of C. necator by the phaCAcNSDG (encoding the N149S and D171G mutant of PHA synthase from Aeromonas caviae) and deactivation of the phaA gene (encoding (β-ketothiolase) from C. necator H16 chromosome). The effect of butyrate as co-substrate was assessed in high-cell-density fed-batch cultures of several C. necator mutants, and the 3HH fraction was successfully increased by adding butyrate to the culture. Moreover, overexpression of BktB (encoding the second β-ketothiolase with broad substrate specificity) enhanced the (R)-3HH-CoA synthesis pathway in the phaA deactivated mutant of C. necator by promoting the condensation of acetyl-CoA and butyryl-CoA into 3-ketohexanoyl-CoA. Consequently, PHBH containing 4.2-13.0 mol% 3HH was produced from butyrate and palm kernel oil by the genetically modified C. necator H16 strains.
