Embodiment

[0186]Escherichia coli was chosen as the engineered host organism because of the versatility shown by this organism. To test the efficiency of algal amino acid utilization by E. coli, the indicated cells were grown on yeast extract or a mixture of 20 amino acids (used to mimic algal extract). E. coli grew well on these enriched media, as expected. However, amino acid utilization is incomplete, possibly due to amino acid imbalance and lack of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) degradation pathways. Wild-type E. coli will each utilize only four of the amino acids (Ala, Asp, Pro, and Gln) as a single carbon source to form colonies. When the isobutanol synthesis pathway (overexpression of alsS, ilvC, ilvD, KivD and AdhA genes) was introduced into E. coli, the cells could produce only 0.17 g / L isobutanol (Table 4 below), representing a theoretical yield of 2.3%.

Abstract

Provided are metabolically improved microorganisms characterized by increased ketoacid flux compared to wild-type organisms and comprising at least one polynucleotide encoding an enzyme which, when expressed, elicits higher amounts of chemical products compared to wild-type organisms generate. The recombinant microorganisms are used to produce a wide variety of chemical compositions from various nitrogen-containing biomass compositions and other carbon sources. More specifically, provided herein are methods for the production of alcohol, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, isobutyraldehyde, isobutyric acid, n-butyraldehyde, n-butyric acid, 2-methyl-1 -butyraldehyde, 2-methyl-1-butyric acid, 3-methyl-1-butyraldehyde, 3-methyl-1-butyric acid, ammonia, ammonium, amino acid, 2,3-butanediol, 1, 4-butanediol, 2-methyl-1,4-butanediol, 2-methyl-1,4-butanediamine, isobutene, itaconate, acetoin, acetone, isobutene, 1,5 -Diaminopentane, L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid, shikimic acid, mevalonic acid, polyhydroxybutyric acid (PHB), isoprenoid, fatty acid, homoalanine, 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA ), succinic acid, malic acid, citric acid, adipic acid, p-hydroxy-cinnamic acid, tetrahydrofuran, 3-methyl-tetrahydrofuran, gamma-butyrolactone, pyrrolidone, n-methylpyrrolidone, aspartic acid, lysine acid, cadaverine, 2-ketoadipate, and S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM).
