Efficient conversion of hemicellulose into 2, 3-butanediol by engineered psychrotrophic Raoultella terrigena: mechanism and efficiency
Low-temperature biorefineries inhibit the multiplication of undesired microorganisms, improve product purity and reduce economic costs. Herein, to improve the 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) bioconversion efficiency from hemicellulose, a psychrotrophic hemicellulose-degrading strain Raoultella terrigena HC6 with high β-xylosidase activity 1520 U/mL was isolated and genetically modified. Xylan (hemicellulose replacement) was depolymerized into xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and xylose by HC6, which were further converted into 2,3-BD. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that β-xylosidase gene ( xynB ) and xylose isomerase gene ( xylA ), which are beneficial for increasing the carbon flux from xylan to 2,3-BD, were significantly upregulated 56.9-fold and 234-fold, respectively. A recombinant strain was constructed by overexpressing xynB in HC6, which obtained 0.389 g/g yield of 2,3-BD from hemicellulose extracted from corn straw at 15 °C. This study proposed a promised strategy for the bioconversion of agricultural waste into 2,3-BD at low temperatures and provides a basis for future efforts in the achievement of carbon neutrality.
