For the efficient conversion of L-tyrosine (L-Tyr) to tyrosol
which is an aromatic compound widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries
a novel four-enzyme cascade pathway based on the Ehrlich pathway of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
was designed and reconstructed in
Escherichia coli
. Then
the expression levels of the relevant enzymes were coordinated using a modular approach and gene duplication after the identification of the pyruvate decarboxylase from
Candida tropicalis
(
Ct
PDC) as the rate-limiting enzymatic step.
In situ
product removal (ISPR) strategy with XAD4 resins was explored to avoid product inhibition and further improve tyrosol yield. As a result
the titer and conversion rate of tyrosol obtained were 35.7 g·L
-1
and 93.6%
respectively
in a 3-L bioreactor. Results presented here provide a potential enzymatic process for industrial production of tyrosol from cheap amino acids.
