    Abstract:
    Corynebacterium glutamicum is used for production of the food and feed amino acids l-glutamate and l-lysine at the million-ton-scale. One feed formulation of l-lysine simply involves spray-drying of the fermentation broth, thus, including secreted l-lysine and C. glutamicum cells which are pigmented by the C50 carotenoid decaprenoxanthin. C. glutamicum has been engineered for overproduction of various compounds including carotenoids. In this study, C. glutamicum was engineered for coproduction of a secreted amino acid with a cell-bound carotenoid. Asa proof of principle, coproduction of l-glutamate with the industrially relevant astaxanthin was shown. This strategy was applied to engineer l-lysine overproducing strains for combined overproduction of secreted l-lysine with the cell-bound carotenoids decaprenoxanthin, lycopene, β-carotene, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin and astaxanthin. By fed-batch fermentation 48g/Ll-lysine and 10mg/L astaxanthin were coproduced. Moreover, C. glutamicum was engineered for coproduction of l-lysine and β-carotene from xylose and arabinose as alternative feedstocks.
