To improve the amino acid production by metabolic engineering, eliminating the pathway bottleneck is known to be very effective. The metabolic response of Methylophilus methylotrophus upon the addition of glucose and of pyruvate was investigated in batch cultivation. We found that the supply of pyruvate is a bottleneck in L-lysine production in M. methylotrophus from methanol as carbon source. M. methylotrophus has a ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway for methanol assimilation, and consequently synthesized fructose-6-phosphate is metabolized to pyruvate via the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, and the ED pathway is thought to be the main pathway for pyruvate supply. An L-lysine producer of M. methylotrophus with an enhanced ED pathway was constructed by the introduction of the E. coli edd-eda operon encoding the enzyme involving the ED pathway. In this strain, the overall enzymatic activity of ED pathway, which is estimated by measuring the activities of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase plus 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase, was about 20 times higher than in the parent. This strain produced 1.2 times more L-lysine than the parent producer. Perhaps, then, the supply of pyruvate was a bottleneck in L-lysine production in the L-lysine producer of M. methylotrophus.
