Regulation • natural process (survival) • prevents overproduction of enzymes and products • deregulation necessary to be commercially viable
Environmental manipulations • nutrient imbalance: citric acid production with fungi by limiting Fe, Mn • inducers or substrate analogs • bisulfite in yeast fermentation produces glycerol at expense of ethanol
environmental manipulations • catabolite repression (glucose effect) S1 S2 repression or inhibition
A B C D enz A feedback inhibition or repression environmental manipulations • end product removal • eg. assume enz A is desired product • remove end product D
environmental manipulations • alter cell permeability • eg. glutamic acid production with Micrococcus or Corynebacterium • limit biotin to 1-5 μg/L • 15 μg/L will stop excretion • yeast treated with surfactants
genetic manipulation: limit accumulation of end product enzC enzD enzA enzB A B C D E feedback regulation • C is desired product • auxotrophic mutant lacking enzC • E must be added to medium at low levels for growth • C accumulates as culture is deregulated • eg. Bacillus subtilis 16 g/L L-citrulline • Corynebacterium glutamincum 26 g/L L-ornithine
isolation of feedbackresistant mutants enzA A B C D E feedback regulation • E is desired product (eg. amino acid) • analog E' also represses enzA but E' cannot be used for growth • mutate cells and grow with E' in excess • deregulated cells do not grow • growing cells can synthesize E in presence of E' (de-regulated)
branched pathway A B C D often by decreasing D, C will be overproduced
aspartate aspartokinase aspartyl phosphate aspartate semi-aldehyde homoserine dehydrogenase concerted feedback inhibition homoserine lysine methionine threonine isoleucine Corynebacterium glutamicum: 50 g/L L-lysine
mutation and selection • mutagens • ionizing radiation, X-rays, γ-rays • non-ionizing, UV • chemical mutagens • base analogues • nitrous acid • hydroxylamine • diethylsulfonate (DES) • nitrosyl guanidine (NTG)
alternatives • protoplast fusion • gene amplification • recombinant DNA
