Efficient Bio-Oxidation of Cellobiose with Engineered Gluconobacter oxydans to Provide Highly Concentrated Cellobionic Acid
2024
Overview
Cellobionic acid (CBA) can be obtained through the oxidation of cellobiose, the monomer of cellulose. CBA serves as a plant-based alternative to its stereoisomer lactobionic acid, which is used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. Gluconobacter oxydans is a well-established whole-cell biocatalyst with membrane-bound dehydrogenases (mDH) for regio-specific oxidations. As G. oxydans wildtype cells show low cellobiose oxidation activities, the glucose mDH from Pseudomonas taetrolens was overexpressed in G. oxydans BP9, a multi mDH deletion strain. Whole-cell biotransformation studies were performed with resting cells of the engineered G. oxydans in stirred tank bioreactors. Initial biomass specific cellobionate formation rates increased with increasing cellobiose concentrations up to 190 g L−1, and were constant until the solubility limit. The maximal volumetric CBA formation rates and the oxygen uptake rates increased linearly with the concentration of engineered G. oxydans. This enables the estimation of the maximum biocatalyst concentration limited by the maximum oxygen transfer rate of any bioreactor. Thus, 5.2 g L−1 G. oxydans was sufficient to produce 502 g L−1 CBA with >99% yield in a simple aerobic batch process. The highly concentrated CBA will reduce downstream processing costs considerably after cell separation.
