Isobutanol production by combined in vivo and in vitro metabolic engineering

The production of the biofuel, isobutanol, in E. coli faces limitations due to alcohol toxicity, product inhibition, product recovery, and long-term industrial feasibility. Here we demonstrate an approach of combining both in vivo with in vitro metabolic engineering to produce isobutanol. The in viv...

description The production of the biofuel, isobutanol, in E. coli faces limitations due to alcohol toxicity, product inhibition, product recovery, and long-term industrial feasibility. Here we demonstrate an approach of combining both in vivo with in vitro metabolic engineering to produce isobutanol. The in vivo production of α-ketoisovalerate (KIV) was conducted through CRISPR mediated integration of the KIV pathway in bicistronic design (BCD) in E. coli and inhibition of competitive valine pathway using CRISPRi technology. The subsequent in vitro conversion to isobutanol was carried out with engineered enzymes for 2-ketoacid decarboxylase (KIVD) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). For the in vivo production of KIV and subsequent in vitro production of isobutanol, this two-step serial approach resulted in yields of 56% and 93%, productivities of 0.62 and 0.074 g L−1 h−1, and titers of 5.6 and 1.78 g L−1, respectively. Thus, this combined biosynthetic system can be used as a modular approach for producing important metabolites, like isobutanol, without the limitations associated with in vivo production using a consolidated bioprocess.
