Popis: | Amorpha-4,11-diene (AMD4,11) is a precursor to artemisinin, a potent antimalarial drug that is traditionally extracted from the shrubs of Artemisia annua. Despite significant prior efforts to produce artemisinin and its precursors through biotechnology, there remains a dire need for more efficient biosynthetic routes for its production. Here, we describe the optimization of key process conditions for an Escherichia coli strain producing AMD4,11 via the native methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. By studying the interplay between glucose uptake rates and oxygen demand, we were able to identify optimal conditions for increasing carbon flux through the MEP pathway by manipulating the availability of NADPH required for terpenoid production. Installation of an optimal qO2 /qglucose led to a 6.7-fold increase in product titers and a 6.5-fold increase in carbon yield. |
