ABSTRACT
Farnesol (FOH) is produced by dephosphorylation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) derived from two universal building blocks, dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) and isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP). In Rhodobacter sphaeroides these building blocks are generated by MEP pathway, however, many of the biosynthetic reactions and biotransformations in the MEP pathway are limited by low availability of NADPH. Improvement of the amount of intracellular NADPH may enhance the synthesis of FOH. In this study, we utilized the strategies of increasing the production of NADPH and decreasing the consumption of NADPH. The expression of glucose 6-phosphate isomerase (pgi) and glutamate dehydrogenase (gdhA) were inhibited by RNA interference, respectively, and overexpression of 6-glucose phosphate dehydrogenase (zwf) and 6-glucose phosphate dehydrogenase (gnd) in the pentose phosphate pathway were carried out. The results showed that the content of NADPH in the recombinant strains increased significantly, the highest FOH production of RSpgii in the RNA interfered strain was 3.91 mg/g, and the FOH production increased to 3.43 mg/g after zwf gene and gnd gene has been overexpressed. In order to obtain strains with higher FOH production, we used RSpgii as the starting strain, and zwf, gnd and co-overexpressed zwf + gnd gene were overexpressed in RSpgii, respectively. The highest FOH production of the strain RSzgpi reached to 4.48 mg/g which was 2.24 times that of the starting strain RS-GY2.
