Enhanced poly(3-hydroxybutyrateco-3-hydroxyvalerate) production from high-concentration propionate by a novel halophile Halomonas sp. YJ01: Detoxification of the 2-methylcitrate cycle.
Bioresource technology(2023)
Abstract
As a carbon substrate, propionate can be used to synthesize poly(3-hydroxybutyrateco-3-hydroxyvalerate) [PHBV] biopolymer, but high concentrations can inhibit PHBV production. Therefore, novel PHBV producers that can utilize high propionate concentrations are needed. Here, a novel halophile, Halomonas sp. YJ01 was applied to PHBV production via a propionate-dependent pathway, and optimal culture growth conditions were determined. The maximum poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [PHB] content and yield in the presence of glucose were 89.5 wt% and 5.7 g/L, respectively. This strain utilizes propionate and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) for PHBV accumulation. Multiple genes related to polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis were identified using whole-genome annotation. The PHBV yield and 3HV fraction obtained by strain YJ01 utilizing 15 g/L propionate were 0.86 g/L and 29 mol%, respectively, but in cultures with glucose-propionate, it decreased its copolymer dry weight. This indicates that propionyl-CoA was converted to pyruvate through the 2-methylcitrate cycle (2MCC), which reduced propionate detoxification for the strain.
