    Abstract Phenol is an important petrochemical that is conventionally used as a precursor for synthesizing an array of plastics and fine chemicals. As an emerging alternative to its traditional petrochemical production, multiple enzyme pathways have been engineered to date to enable its renewable biosynthesis from biomass feedstocks, each incorporating unique enzyme chemistries and intermediate molecules. Leveraging all three of the unique phenol biosynthesis pathways reported to date, a series of synthetic ‘metabolic funnels’ was engineered, each with the goal of maximizing net precursor assimilation and flux towards phenol via the parallel co-expression of multiple distinct pathways within the same Escherichia coli host. By constructing and evaluating all possible binary and tertiary pathway combinations, one ‘funnel’ was ultimately identified, which supported enhanced phenol production relative to all three individual pathways by 16 to 69%. Further host engineering to increase endogenous precursor availability then allowed for 26% greater phenol production, reaching a final titer of 554 ± 19 mg/L and 28.8 ± 0.34 mg/g yield on glucose. Lastly, using a diphasic culture including dibutyl phthalate for in situ phenol extraction, final titers were further increased to a maximum of 812 ± 145 mg/L at a yield of 40.6 ± 7.2 mg/g. The demonstrated ‘funneling’ pathway holds similar promise in support of phenol production by other, non-E. coli hosts, while this general approach can be readily extended towards a diversity of other value-added bioproducts of interest.

    Abstract With the goal of expanding the diversity of tools available for controlling gene expression in cyanobacteria, the T7-RNA polymerase gene expression system from E. coli BL21(DE3) was adapted and systematically engineered for robust function Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, a fast-growing saltwater strain. Expression of T7-RNA polymerase was controlled via LacI regulation, while functionality was optimized by both further tuning its expression level along with optimizing the translation initiation region of the expressed gene, in this case an enhanced YFP reporter. Under high CO₂ conditions, the resulting system displayed a 60-fold dynamic range in expression levels. Furthermore, when maximally induced, T7-RNA polymerase-dependent protein production constituted up to two-thirds of total cellular protein content in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002. Ultimately, however, this came at the cost of 40% reductions in both biomass and pigmentation levels. Taken together, the developed T7-RNA polymerase gene expression system is effective for controlling and achieving high-level expression of heterologous genes in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, making it a valuable tool for cyanobacterial research. KEY POINTS: • Promoter driving T7-RNA polymerase was optimized. • Up to 60-fold dynamic range in expression, depending on CO₂ conditions. • Two-thirds of total protein is T7-RNA polymerase dependent.

    Abstract Microbial biosynthesis of fuels and chemicals represents a promising route for their renewable production. Product toxicity, however, represents a common challenge limiting the efficacy of this approach. Integrated bioprocesses incorporating in situ product separation are poised to help address this intrinsic problem, but suffer their own unique shortcomings. To improve and expand the utility of this versatile bioprocessing strategy, recent innovations have focused on developing more effective separation materials and novel process configurations, as well as adapting designs to accommodate semi-continuous modes of operation. As a result, integrated bioprocesses are finding new applications to aid the biosynthesis of an ever-growing list of bioproducts. Emerging applications, meanwhile, are exploring the further expansion of such designs to interface microbial and chemical catalysts, leading to new and versatile routes for the one-pot synthesis of an even greater diversity of renewable products.

    Abstract Microbial production of biopolymers represents a promising, sustainable alternative to current approaches for plastic production. Cyanophycin synthetase 1 (CphA1) produces cyanophycin - an attractive biopolymer consisting of a poly-L-aspartic acid backbone decorated with L-arginine side groups. In this work, a series of CphA1 enzymes from different bacteria that were each previously identified to express as soluble and stable enzymes in Escherichia coli were screened for heterologous cyanophycin production in engineered E. coli. In each case, expression of stable CphA1 enzymes resulted in greater insoluble cyanophycin production, and it was found that CphA1 from Tatumella morbirosei (TmCphA1) was especially productive. Under these conditions, TmCphA1 was capable of supporting up to ∼2-fold greater yields of insoluble cyanophycin than any other tested CphA1 enzymes, including 10.8-times more than CphA1 from Synechocystis sp. PCC6308. Finally, using a bench-scale bioreactor, cyanophycin production by TmCphA1-expressing E. coli reached up to 1.9 g per liter of culture by 48 h.
