Abstract
Glucaric acid, a high value-added organic acid, is widely used in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. For microbial production of glucaric acid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we constructed a synthetic glucaric acid biosynthetic pathway by coexpressing the genes encoding myo-inositol oxygenase from mice and uronate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida. Moreover, myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase was identified as a rate-limiting enzyme in glucaric acid pathway and was upregulated, resulting in the production of glucaric acid of (107.51±10.87) mg/L, a 2.8-fold increase compared to the parent strain. Then, by repressing the activity of phosphofructokinase, the concentration of glucaric acid further increased to (230.22±10.75) mg/L. The strategy could be further used to construct cell factories for glucaric acid production.
