ABSTRACT
Para-aminobenzoate (PABA) is an important chemical for organic synthesis and extensively used in pharmaceutical and dye industry. In recent years, PABA has received increasing attention as a potential component of high-strength polymer. In Escherichia coli, three genes of pabA, pabB and pabC are responsible for PABA production from chorismate in folate synthetic pathway. However, E. coli does not accumulate or accumulates very few amounts of PABA under normal growth condition. In this study, the tyrosine-producing E. coli TYR002 constructed previously was used as the starting strain for developing PABA-producing strain. First, the activity of bifunctional chorismate mutase/prephenate dehydrogenase TyrA in E. coli TYR002 was weakened to reduce the production of tyrosine. Then, three different constitutive promoters were used to regulate the expression of pabA, pabB and pabC in recombinant plasmid which was transformed into E. coli for improving PABA production. The shake-flask fermentation showed that the different combination of constitutive promoters significantly affected the production of PABA, and the highest shake-flask fermentation titer was 0.67 g/L. After further condition optimization, the engineered E. coli produced 6.4 g/L PABA under 5 L fed-batch fermentation. This study could be a good reference for improving microbial production of PABA.
