In: Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. When all of the variables tested (PTS − glucose +, pykA, pykF, and overexpressed tktA) were combined in a single strain, a 19.9-fold increase in carbon commitment to aromatic biosynthesis was achieved.īeckwith J. In the PTS − glucose + host background, overexpression of tktA caused a further 3.7-fold increase in carbon flow, while inactivation of pykA and pykF caused a 5.8-fold increase. A PTS glucose + mutant showed a 1.6-fold increase in carbon flow to aromatics compared to the PTS + control strain. In a strain already having increased carbon flow to aromatics by virtue of overexpression of the tktA gene (encoding transketolase), the pykA and/or pykF mutations had no effect. In a strain having a wild-type PEP: glucose phosphotransferase (PTS) system, inactivation of the genes encoding pyruvate kinase ( pykA and pykF) resulted in a 3.4-fold increase in carbon flow to aromatic biosynthesis.

Different approaches to increasing carbon commitment to aromatic amino acid biosynthesis were compared in isogenic strains of Escherichia coli.
