Rerouting of carbon flux in a glycogen mutant of cyanobacteria assessed via isotopically non‐stationary 13C metabolic flux analysis

Abstract: Cyanobacteria, which constitute a quantitatively dominant phylum, have attracted attention in biofuel applications due to favorable physiological characteristics, high photosynthetic efficiency and amenability to genetic manipulations. However, quantitative aspects of cyanobacterial metabolism have received limited attention. In the present study, we have performed isotopically non-stationary C metabolic flux analysis (INST- C-MFA) to analyze rerouting of carbon in a glycogen synthase deficient mutant strain (… Show more

“…PCC 6803 (henceforth referred to as PCC 7942 and PCC 6803, respectively) have been engineered to produce some compounds such as alkanes 5 , hydrogen 6 , ethanol 7 , butanol 8 , 2,3-butanediol 9 , acetone 10 , ethylene 11 , fatty acids 12 , and isoprene 13 . Metabolic flux analysis of the model cyanobacterial strains has provided useful information on strain engineering 14 , 15 .…”

“…To obtain accurate transient labeling data, it is required to quantitate the mass isotopologues which can be present in very minute quantities and therefore the efficiency of extraction is extremely important. To perform isotopic non-stationary 13 C MFA for the strains PCC 11801 and PCC 7942, we started out with a reported extraction method (method 1) which has also worked in our hands for the strain PCC 7002 [ 10 ]. This method primarily involves quenching of filtered cells with cold methanol and extraction in methanol-chloroform-water mixture in 1:2:1 ratio (refer to Fig 1 and the methods section).…”

“…This method primarily involves quenching of filtered cells with cold methanol and extraction in methanol-chloroform-water mixture in 1:2:1 ratio (refer to Fig 1 and the methods section). The cyanobacterial cultures grown under photoautotrophic conditions were filtered rapidly in the presence of light to ensure integrity of the light sensitive metabolites and then the filter paper was transferred to cold methanol to quench the metabolism [ 10 , 39 ]. The cells were removed from the filter paper using chloroform solution and the cell suspension in methanol-chloroform mixture was vortexed to break the cells and extract the metabolites.…”

“…However, due to the low titers and productivities, competitive production with cyanobacteria might currently only be achieved for fine chemicals ( Savakis and Hellingwerf, 2015 ). Succinate production faces particular challenges, because the cyanobacterial TCA cycle has a low activity and the conversion of 2-oxoglutarate to succinate is low ( Hendry et al, 2017 , Young et al, 2011 , Zhang and Bryant, 2011 ).…”
