Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing malonic acid by using whole-cell catalysis, belonging to the field of bioengineering. Background Art

[0002] Malonic acid, also known as carrot acid, malic acid or beet acid, is one of the 30 bio-based platform compounds identified by the US Department of Energy. Its molecular structure has both active methylene and dicarboxyl functional groups, and can participate in complex organic synthesis through various types of reactions such as condensation and substitution. It is an important intermediate in the fields of medicine, pesticides and functional materials. Global market research shows that the market size of malonic acid reached 330 million yuan in 2022 and is expected to exceed 390 million yuan in 2029. Its demand growth is closely related to the development of emerging fields such as new energy materials (such as lithium battery additives) and biodegradable plastics (poly(malonic acid esters)).

[0003] Since the synthesis efficiency of the biological synthesis method of malonic acid is not sufficient to compete with the traditional chemical synthesis method, at present, the large-scale production of malonic acid is achieved by chemical methods. However, the chemical synthesis method faces problems such as raw materials, energy consumption, and environmental pollution, which are not conducive to sustainable development. Therefore, green and efficient production through industrial biotechnology has greater competitive advantages. Use renewable raw materials for biocatalysis / whole-cell methods to prepare malonic acid for the production and preparation of downstream chemicals and products. The natural biosynthetic pathway of malonic acid is still unknown. The known methods are through the malonyl-CoA pathway and the oxaloacetic acid pathway. However, the microbial fermentation method has problems such as long production cycle, low efficiency, complex culture medium components and by-product interference. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new methods to improve the production efficiency of malonic acid. Summary of the Invention
