AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although this method is environmentally friendly, it has the disadvantages of i) using vitamin B12 (a very expensive cofactor), and ii) being a discontinuous process due to the instability of the production strain
Alternatively, butyrate can be produced by extraction from butter, which contains an estimated 2%-4% butyrate, although this method is costly and difficult

Embodiment 1

[0102] Example 1: Identification of mutations present in one clone that was an outlier from the 174P population

[0103] clone isolation

[0104] Clonal isolation on agar plates was initiated from continuous cultures of a population of Clostridium acetobutylicum strain DG1 pSPD5 type 174P that overexpressed the 1.3-propanediol operon from Clostridium butyricum and was adapted to be obtained from industrial plants with high concentrations. Glycerol (as described in patent application WO 2012 / 062832A1 ) medium that grows and produces PDO populations. Synthetic medium for isolation on agar plates contains per liter of deionized water: 25 g agar; 30 g commercial glycerol; 0.5 g KH 2 PO 4 ;0.5g K 2 HPO 4 ;0.2g MgSO 4 ,7H 2 O; 0.01g CoCl 2 6H 2 O; 99.8% acetic acid, 2.2ml; 1.65g NH 4 Cl; 23.03g MOPS; 0.16mg biotin; 32mg p-aminobenzoic acid; 0.028g FeSO 4 ,7H 2 O; 1 mg resazurin and 0.5 g cysteine. use NH 4 OH 6N to adjust the pH of the medium to 6.5.

[0121] Example 2: Characterization of mutations identified in the genes glpK and hydA

[0122] a. Characterization of glycerol kinase wild-type (GlpK) and mutant (GlpK*) proteins

[0123] Three different point mutations were identified in the glpK gene in clone PD0557Vc05, resulting in the mutein GlpK* with H22Y, A347T and V466M (Table 2 above). To better characterize the effects of the mutations, we tested them individually or in combination. Therefore, the allele encoding the mutant glycerol kinase was cloned into the expression plasmid pPAL7 , and the obtained plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain BL21(DE3) star to purify each mutant protein and perform biochemical experiments.

Embodiment 3

[0155] Example 3: Effects of GlpK* and HydA truncation on two production strains (Clostridium acetobutylicum DG1pSPD5 and The role of PD0001VE05c08) in producing PDO and BA

[0156] To confirm the effect of the mutations identified in clone PD0557Vc05 on the production of PDO / BA (see Example 2), we introduced the glpK* and hydA* alleles, alone or in combination, into two production strains that had no modifications at these genes .

[0157] The two recipient strains chosen for genetic modification are:

[0158] - DG1 pSPD5: Clostridium acetobutylicum strain DG1 pSPD5, described in the publication Gonzalez-Pajuelo et al., 2006

Abstract

The present invention concerns a new mutant strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum comprising attenuated glycerol kinase activity. In addition, the present invention concerns a consortium of Clostridiumcomprising at least said mutant strain and at least one other species of Clostridium chosen among C. sporogenes and C. sphenoides. As this modified strain may be adapted for growth and for the production of 1,3-propanediol in an appropriate culture medium with high glycerol content, the invention also relates to a method for the production of 1,3-propanediolandbutyric acid, by culturing at leastthis mutant strain in an appropriate culture medium.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel mutant strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum capable of producing 1,3-propanediol and comprising attenuated glycerol kinase activity. In addition, the present invention relates to a Clostridium species consortium comprising at least said mutant strain and at least one other Clostridium selected from C. sporogenes and C. sphenoides bacteria. This modified strain can be adapted to grow in a suitable medium with a high glycerol content and to produce 1,3-propanediol. The present invention also relates to a method for producing 1,3-propanediol and butyric acid by culturing at least this mutant strain in a suitable medium. Background technique [0002] 1,3-Propanediol (PDO), also known as trimethylene glycol or propylene glycol, is one of the earliest known fermentation products. It was first identified as early as 1881 by August Freund in a glycerol fermentation culture containing Clostridium pasteurianum. PDO is a typical product ...
