Abstract
1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) is a valuable basic chemical, especially in the polymer industry to produce polytrimethylene terephthalate. Unfortunately, the production of 1,3-PDO mainly depends on petroleum products as precursors. Furthermore, the chemical routes have significant disadvantages, such as environmental issues. An alternative is the biobased fermentation of 1,3-PDO from cheap glycerol. Clostridium beijerinckii DSM 6423 was originally reported to produce 1,3-PDO. However, this could not be confirmed, and a genome analysis revealed the loss of an essential gene. Thus, 1,3-PDO production was genetically reinstalled. Genes for 1,3-PDO production from Clostridium pasteurianum DSM 525 and Clostridium beijerinckii DSM 15410 (formerly Clostridium diolis) were introduced into C. beijerinckii DSM 6423 to enable 1,3-PDO production from glycerol. 1,3-PDO production by recombinant C. beijerinckii strains were investigated under different growth conditions. 1,3-PDO production was only observed for C. beijerinckii [pMTL83251_Ppta-ack_1,3-PDO.diolis], which harbors the genes of C. beijerinckii DSM 15410. By buffering the growth medium, production could be increased by 74%. Furthermore, the effect of four different promoters was analyzed. The use of the constitutive thlA promoter from Clostridium acetobutylicum led to a 167% increase in 1,3-PDO production compared to the initial recombinant approach.
