Genetically engineered coryneform bacteria for producing porphyrin-334 and use thereof
By genetically engineering Corynebacterium glutamicum, knocking out competing pathways and heterologously expressing key enzyme gene clusters, the problem of the difficulty in obtaining Porphyra-334 naturally was solved, and efficient production was achieved, reaching an accumulation of 0.77 g/L in shake flasks and 4.8 g/L in fermenters.

AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the natural acquisition of Porphyra-334 is difficult and the content is low, making it difficult to achieve efficient production.
By genetically engineering Corynebacterium glutamicum, knocking out the tal gene, which encodes the transaldase, through the competitive pathway of sedulose-7-phosphate, and heterologously expressing four key enzyme gene clusters from Nostoc linyi NIES-25, a genetically engineered strain was constructed. This strain enhanced the expression of phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase, improved ATP regeneration capacity, and achieved efficient synthesis of Porphyra-334.
The accumulation of Porphyra-334 reached 0.77 g/L in shake flasks and 4.8 g/L in a 50 L fermenter, providing an efficient and green production method.
