中文摘要 | Biodiesel is an interesting alternative energy source and is used as substitute for petroleum-based diesel. Microorganisms have been used for biodiesel production due to their significant environmental and economic benefits. However, few researches have investigated the regulation of fatty acid composition of these microbial diesels. Fatty acid biosynthesis in Escherichia coli has provided a paradigm for other bacteria and plants. By overexpressing two genes (fabA and fabB) associated with unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) synthesis in E. coli, we have engineered an efficient producer of UFAs. Saturated fatty acid (SFA) contents decreased from 50.2% (the control strain) to 34.6% (the recombinant strain overexpressing fabA and fabB simultaneously) and the ratio of cis-vaccenate (18:1 Delta 11), a major UFA in E. coli, reached 51.1% in this recombinant strain. When an Arabidopsis thaliana thioesterase (AtFatA) was coexpressed with these two genes, 0.19 mmol l(-1) fatty acids was produced by this E. coli strain after 18-h culture under shake-flask conditions. Free fatty acids made up about 37.5% of total fatty acid concentration in this final engineered strain carrying fabA, fabB, and AtFatA, and the ratio of UFA/SFA reached 2.3:1. This approach offers a means to improve the fatty acid composition of microdiesel and might pave the way for production of biodiesel equivalents using engineered microorganisms in the near future. |
