1-propanol is considered as a promising new generation of biofuel that can substitute agasoline. In this study, we introduced a novel biosynthetic pathway toward 1-propanolusing L-threonine overproducing Escherichia coli as a base strain. The highest titer of1-propanol (3.5g/L) was achieved by Atsumi et al., using recombinant Escherichia coliharboring heterogenous gene encoding Methanococcus jannaschii citramalate synthase(CimA), which directly converts pyruvate into 2-ketobutyrate. The previously reportedE. coli TH20 which overproducing L-threonine was used as base strain in this study. Togenerate 1-propanol producing E. coli strain, competing pathways were deleted andcarbon source was optimized by in silico flux reponse analysis. Further metabolicengineering of the final strain improved the production rate moreover.
