Flow diagram

Pathway1 It is necessary to find some ways that increase the flow of reaction 12. Pathway2 We can overexpress enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC, EC:4.1.1.1) to produce reaction 15. Pathway 2 Pathway 1 pyruvate acetaldehyde Is E. Coli suitable for biosynthesis of ethanol?

Pathway 1? or Pathway 2 ? The shortcoming of using pathway1 to produce ethanol. 1. The pathway 1 is unbalanced because one NADH, H + is generated for each pyruvate made from sugars, and two NADH,H + are required for converting pyruvate into ethanol.E. coli balances it fermentation by also producing acetic and succinic acids 2. E. coli cultures are a narrow and neutral pH growth range(pH 6.0 – 8.0). We choose pathway 2 to produce ethanol in E.coli system and transform the pdc gene into E.coli. The shortcoming of using pathway2 to produce ethanol. 1.The native alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity of E. coli was not to achieve high ethanol yields. We can transform the adh II gene to E.coli. 2.The plasmid stability in non-selective medium. We can integrate the genes into the chromosome of E.coli, but that reduces the gene dosage, resulting in decreasing the enzyme activity.

VATPase, Y 7 Define the relevant variables Metabolites X1 (Glc in, intracellular glucose) X2 (G6P,glucose-6-phosphate) X3 (FDP, fructose diphosphate) X4 (PEP, phosphoenol pyruvate) X5 (ATP) Enzymes Y1 (V i n, sugar transport system) Y2 (V HK, hexokinase) Y3 (V PFK,phosphofructokinase) Y4 (V GADP, glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate dehydrogenase) Y5 (V PK, pyruvate kinase) Y6 (V carb, glycogen synthetase) Y7 (V ATPase, ATPase)

GMA representation 1.Each rate law can be written as a form of power law functions. 2 means rate constant of the positive and negative reactions. 3.g ijk and h ijk means kinetic orders of the positives and negative reaction. 4.n means dependent variables and m means independent variables. Define the kinetic orders and rate constants GMA representation of metabolites

The experiments to determine the metabolic fluxes (Estimation of the kinetic orders and rate constants) 1.If the effect of X j on flux V i + is to be determined, it would be ideal to keep all variable but X j at their typical values, and to vary X j about its normial value.The Flux V i + becomes a unvariate function of X j, and this function is linear when plotted as the logarithm of V i + against the logarithm of X j. 2.The Slope of the function is equivalent to the kinetic order gij(hij) and can estimate the rate constants. Direct estimation from flux data Estimation from the literature presentations g ij =. R XjXj XjXj R If the rate law is presented as the function R(X 1,…..X n+m ) and the corresponding power- law representation is V i +, the kinetic order g ij is straightforwardly computed form above equation.

The optimization
14
The ways to maximize yield of ethanol To maximize the ethanol production rate,the enzymes which have to be amplified are six; the amplification ranges between 40 and 50 times the basal enzyme activities. The increase in the rate of ethanol production, V PK /(V PK )basal, is more than 50 times, and the yield of the optimized solution is around 100% of theoretical. The six enzymes: Y1 (V i n, sugar transport system) Y2 (V HK, hexokinase) Y3 (V PFK,phosphofructokinase) Y4 (V GADP, glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate dehydrogenase) Y5 (V PK, pyruvate kinase) Y7 (V ATPase, ATPase)
