Abstract
L-tryptophan and its derivatives are widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and feed industries. Microbial fermentation is the most commonly used method to produce L-tryptophan, which calls for an effective cell factory. The mechanism of L-tryptophan biosynthesis in Escherichia coli, the widely used producer of L-tryptophan, is well understood. Saccharomyces cerevisiae also plays a significant role in the industrial production of biochemicals. Because of its robustness and safety, S. cerevisiae is favored for producing pharmaceuticals and food-grade biochemicals. However, the biosynthesis of L-tryptophan in S. cerevisiae has been rarely summarized. The synthetic pathways and engineering strategies of L-tryptophan in E. coli and S. cerevisiae have been reviewed and compared in this review. Furthermore, the information presented in this review pertains to the existing understanding of how L-tryptophan affects S. cerevisiae's stress fitness, which could aid in developing a novel plan to produce more resilient industrial yeast and E. coli cell factories.

Abstract
L-tryptophan (L-trp), produced through bio-manufacturing, is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Based on the previously developed L-trp-producing strain, this study significantly improved the titer and yield of L-trp, through metabolic engineering of the shikimate pathway and the L-tryptophan branch. First, the rate-limiting steps in the shikimate pathway were investigated and deciphered, revealing that the combined overexpression of the genes aroE and aroD increased L-trp production. Then, L-trp synthesis was further enhanced at the shaking flask level by improving the intracellular availability of L-glutamine (L-gln) and L-serine (L-ser). In addition, the transport system and the competing pathway of L-trp were also modified, indicating that elimination of the gene TnaB contributed to the extracellular accumulation of L-trp. Through optimizing formulas, the robustness and production efficiency of engineered strains were enhanced at the level of the 30 L fermenter. After 42 h of fed-batch fermentation, the resultant strain produced 53.65 g/L of L-trp, with a yield of 0.238 g/g glucose. In this study, the high-efficiency L-trp-producing strains were created in order to establish a basis for further development of more strains for the production of other highly valuable aromatic compounds or their derivatives.

High-cell-density heterotrophic cultivation of microalga Chlorella sorokiniana FZU60 for achieving ultra-high lutein production efficiency. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 365:128130.

Abstract
Chlorella sorokiniana has received particular attention as a promising candidate for microalgal biomass and lutein production. In this work, heterotrophic cultivation was explored to improve the lutein production efficiency of a lutein-rich microalga C. sorokiniana FZU60. Flask cultivation results showed that the highest lutein productivity was achieved at 30°C with an initial cell concentration of 1.40 g/L. Furthermore, six types of fed-batch strategies based on nutrient composition and concentration were examined using a 5 L fermenter. Among them, ultra-high lutein production (415.93 mg/L) and productivity (82.50 mg/L/d) with lutein content of 2.57 mg/g were achieved with fed-batch 3F (i.e., pulse-feeding with concentrated urea-N medium to achieve a 3-fold nutrient concentration). The lutein production performance achieved is much higher than the reported values. This work demonstrates that heterotrophic cultivation of C. sorokiniana FZU60 with the proposed fed-batch strategy could significantly enhance the production performance and the commercial viability of microalgae-derived lutein.

Abstract
As an important raw material for pharmaceutical, food and feed industry, highly efficient production of L-tryptophan by Escherichia coli has attracted a considerable attention. However, there are complicated and multiple layers of regulation networks in L-tryptophan biosynthetic pathway and thus have difficulty to rewrite the biosynthetic pathway for producing L-tryptophan with high efficiency in E. coli. This review summarizes the biosynthetic pathway of L-tryptophan and highlights the main regulatory mechanisms in E. coli. In addition, we discussed the latest metabolic engineering strategies achieved in E. coli to reconstruct the L-tryptophan biosynthetic pathway. Moreover, we also review a few strategies that can be used in E. coli to improve robustness and streamline of L-tryptophan high-producing strains. Lastly, we also propose the potential strategies to further increase L-tryptophan production by systematic metabolic engineering and synthetic biology techniques.

Abstract
Living organisms such as bacteria are often exposed to continuous changes in the nutrient availability in nature. Therefore, bacteria must constantly monitor the environmental condition, and adjust the metabolism quickly adapting to the change in the growth condition. For this, bacteria must orchestrate (coordinate and integrate) the complex and dynamically changing information on the environmental condition. In particular, the central carbon metabolism (CCM), monomer synthesis, and macromolecular synthesis must be coordinately regulated for the efficient growth. It is a grand challenge in bioscience, biotechnology, and synthetic biology to understand how living organisms coordinate the metabolic regulation systems. Here, we consider the integrated sensing of carbon sources by the phosphotransferase system (PTS), and the feed-forward/feedback regulation systems incorporated in the CCM in relation to the pool sizes of flux-sensing metabolites and αketoacids. We also consider the metabolic regulation of amino acid biosynthesis (as well as purine and pyrimidine biosyntheses) paying attention to the feedback control systems consisting of (fast) enzyme level regulation with (slow) transcriptional regulation. The metabolic engineering for the efficient amino acid production by bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium glutamicum is also discussed (in relation to the regulation mechanisms). The amino acid synthesis is important for determining the rate of ribosome biosynthesis. Thus, the growth rate control (growth law) is further discussed on the relationship between (p)ppGpp level and the ribosomal protein synthesis.

Abstract
D-pantothenic acid (D-PA) is an essential vitamin that has been widely used in medicine, food, and animal feed. Microbial production of D-PA from natural renewable resources is attractive and challenging. In this study, both strain improvements and fermentation process strategies were applied to achieve high-level D-PA production in Escherichia coli. First, a D-PA-producing strain was developed through deletion of the aceF and mdh genes combined with the overexpression of the gene ppnk. The obtained engineered E. coli DPA02/pT-ppnk accumulated 6.89 ± 0.11 g/L of D-PA in shake flask fermentation, which was 79.9 % higher than the control strain. Moreover, the cultivation process contributed greatly to D-PA production with respect to titer and productivity by betaine supplementation and dissolved oxygen (DO)-feedback feeding framework. Under optimal conditions, 68.3 g/L of D-PA, the specific productivity of 0.794 g/L h and the yield of 0.36 g/g glucose in 5 L fermenter were achieved. Overall, this research successfully exploited advanced strategies to lay the foundation for bio-based D-PA production in industrial applications.

Abstract
D-pantothenic acid (D-PA), as a crucial vitamin, is widely used in food, animal feed, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. In our previous work, recombinant Escherichia coli W3110 for production of D-PA was constructed through metabolic pathway modification. In this study, to enhance D-PA production, statistical optimization techniques including Plackett-Burman (PB) design and Box-Behnken design (BBD) first were adopted to optimize the culture condition. The results showed that the glucose, β-alanine and (NH4)2SO4 have the most significant effects on D-PA biosynthesis. The response surface model based on BBD predicted that the optimal concentration is glucose 56.0 g/L, β-alanine 2.25 g/L and (NH4)2SO4 11.8 g/L, the D-PA titer increases from 3.2 g/L to 6.73 g/L shake flask fermentation. For the fed-batch fermentation in 5 L fermenter, the isoleucine feeding strategy greatly increased the titer and productivity of D-PA. As a result, titer (31.6 g/L) and productivity (13.2 g/L·d) of D-PA were achieved, they increased by 4.66 times and 2.65 times, respectively, compared with batch culture. At the same time, the accumulation of acetate reduced from 29.79 g/L to 8.55 g/L in the fed-batch fermentation. These results demonstrated that the optimization of medium composition and the cell growth rate are important to increase the concentration of D-PA for microbial fermentation. This work laid the foundation for further research on the application of D-PA microbial synthesis.

Abstract
L-phenylalanine is an important amino acid that is widely used in the fields of food flavors and pharmaceuticals. Apart from L-phenylalanine itself, various commercially valuable chemical compounds can also be generated via the L-phenylalanine biosynthesis pathway. Compared with direct extraction from plants or synthesis by chemical reaction, microbial production of L-phenylalanine -derived compounds can overcome the drawbacks of environmental pollution, low yield, and mixtures of stereoisomeric products. Accordingly, increasing intracellular levels of precursors, deregulating feedback inhibition and transcription repression, engineering global regulators and other effective strategies have been implemented to produce different L-phenylalanine -derived compounds in the excellent chassis host Escherichia coli. Finally, this review highlights principal strategies for improving the production of L-phenylalanine and/or its derivatives in E. coli, and discusses the future outlook for further enhancing the titer and yields of these compounds.

Abstract
Methyl donors, a class of compounds that supply methyl groups to methyl acceptors, play important roles in the function, growth, and proliferation of cells; however, the methyl donor content in cells is not sufficient to meet their normal needs. In L-tryptophan production with E. coli, the growth and acid-producing ability of E. coli cells are weak due to the presence of exogenous plasmids that inhibit the growth of E. coli, and reduce the efficiency of exogenous gene expression. Therefore, the effect of methyl donors on L-tryptophan production was investigated. Among the methyl donors tested, choline chloride showed the most significant effect in promoting fermentation, followed by methionine. The optimum addition method involved the addition of 1.5 g/L methionine to the culture medium, combined with continuous feeding with a glucose solution containing 1 g/L choline chloride. The final tryptophan titer reached 53.5 g/L; the highest biomass of bacteria reached 51.8 g/L; and the main by-product, acetic acid, was reduced to 2.23 g/L, which had a significant impact on the fermentation results.

Abstract
Microbial production of l-tryptophan (l-trp) has received considerable attention because of its diverse applications in food additives and pharmaceuticals. Overexpression of rate-limiting enzymes and blockage of competing pathways can effectively promote microbial production of l-trp. However, the biosynthetic process remains suboptimal due to imbalanced flux distribution between central carbon and tryptophan metabolism, presenting a major challenge to further improvement of l-trp yield. In this study, we redistributed central carbon metabolism to improve phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P) pools in an l-trp producing strain of Escherichia coli for efficient l-trp synthesis. To do this, a phosphoketolase from Bifidobacterium adolescentis was introduced to strengthen E4P formation, and the l-trp titer and yield increased to 10.8 g/L and 0.148 g/g glucose, respectively. Next, the phosphotransferase system was substituted with PEP-independent glucose transport, meditated by a glucose facilitator from Zymomonas mobilis and native glucokinase. This modification improved l-trp yield to 0.164 g/g glucose, concomitant with 58% and 40% decreases of acetate and lactate accumulation, respectively. Then, to channel more central carbon flux to the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway, several metabolic engineering strategies were applied to rewire the PEP-pyruvate-oxaloacetate node. Finally, the constructed strain SX11 produced 41.7 g/L l-trp with an overall yield of 0.227 g/g glucose after 40 h fed-batch fermentation in 5-L bioreactor. This is the highest overall yield of l-trp ever reported from a rationally engineered strain. Our results suggest the flux redistribution of central carbon metabolism to maintain sufficient supply of PEP and E4P is a promising strategy for efficient l-trp biosynthesis, and this strategy would likely also increase the production of other aromatic amino acids and derivatives.

Abstract
Tryptophan is one of the essential mammalian amino acids and is thus a required component in human nutrition, animal feeds, and cell culture media. However, this aromatic amino acid is highly susceptible to oxidation and is known to degrade into multiple products during manufacturing, storage, and processing. Many physical and chemical processes contribute to the degradation of this compound, primarily via oxidation or cleavage of the highly reactive indole ring. The central contributing factors are reactive oxygen species, such as singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals; light and photosensitizers; metals; and heat. In a multi-component mixture, tryptophan also commonly reacts with carbonyl-containing compounds, leading to a wide variety of products. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge regarding the degradation and interaction products of tryptophan in complex liquid solutions and in proteins. For the purposes of context, a brief summary of the key pathways in tryptophan metabolism will be included, along with common methods and issues in tryptophan manufacturing. The review will focus on the conditions that lead to tryptophan degradation, the products generated in these processes, their known biological effects, and methods which may be applied to stabilize the amino acid.

Abstract
In this study, process engineering and process control were applied to increase the production of l-tryptophan using Escherichia coli Dmtr/pta-Y. Different dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH control strategies were applied in l-tryptophan production. DO and pH were maintained at [20% (0-20 hr); 30% (20-40 hr)] and [7.0 (0-20 hr), 6.5 (20-40 hr)], respectively, which increased l-tryptophan production, glucose conversion percentage [g (l-tryptophan)/g (glucose)], and transcription levels of key genes for tryptophan biosynthesis and tryptophan biosynthesis flux, and decreased the accumulation of acetate and transcription levels of genes related to acetate synthesis and acetate synthesis flux. Using E. coli Dmtr/pta-Y with optimized DO [20% (0-20 hr); 30% (20-40 hr)] and pH [7.0 (0-20 hr), 6.5 (20-40 hr)] values, the highest l-tryptophan production (52.57 g/L) and glucose conversion percentage (20.15%) were obtained. The l-tryptophan production was increased by 26.58%, the glucose conversion percentage was increased by 22.64%, and the flux of tryptophan biosynthesis was increased to 21.5% compared with different conditions for DO [50% (0-20 hr), 20% (20-40 hr)] and pH [7.0].

Abstract
E. coli strain NT1259 /pF112aroFBLkan was able to produce 14.3 g L-1 L-tryptophan within 68 h in a fed-batch process from glycerol on a 15 L scale. To gain detailed insight into metabolism of this E. coli strain in the fed-batch process, a sample of L-tryptophan producing cells was withdrawn after 47 h, was separated rapidly and then resuspended in four parallel stirred-tank bioreactors with fresh media. Four different carbon sources (glucose, glycerol, succinate, pyruvate) were supplied individually with varying feeding rates within 19 min and the metabolic reactions of the cells in the four parallel reactors were analyzed by quantification of extracellular and intracellular substrate, product and metabolite concentrations. Data analysis allowed the estimation of intracellular carbon fluxes and of thermodynamic limitations concerning intracellular concentrations and reaction energies. Carbon fluxes and intracellular metabolite concentrations enabled the estimation of elasticities and flux control coefficients by applying metabolic control analysis making use of a metabolic model considering 48 enzymatic reactions and 56 metabolites. As the flux control coefficients describe connections between enzyme activities and metabolic fluxes, they reveal genetic targets for strain improvement. Metabolic control analysis of the recombinant E. coli cells withdrawn from the fed-batch production process clearly indicated that (i) the supply of two precursors for L-tryptophan biosynthesis, L-serine and phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate, as well as (ii) the formation of aromatic byproducts and (iii) the enzymatic steps of igps and trps2 within the L-tryptophan biosynthesis pathway have major impact on fed-batch production of L-tryptophan from glycerol and should be the targets for further strain improvements.

Abstract
In this study, waste bacterial cell (WBC) was recovered and used as an alternative to yeast extract in L-tryptophan fermentation. The effects of sulfuric acid concentration and temperature on the hydrolysis of WBC were optimized and the amino acid content in the waste bacterial cell hydrolysate (WBCH) was increased. Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken design analysis revealed the optimum composition of the WBCH-based fermentation medium to be 22.47 g/L WBCH, 2.26 g/L KH2PO4, and 1.25 mg/L vitamin H. L-tryptophan yield and productivity with WBCH as the nitrogen source were 52.3 g/L and 2.16 g/L/h, respectively, which were 13% and 18% higher than those obtained with the yeast extract as the nitrogen source. In addition, WBCH did not affect the growth of Escherichia coli during L-tryptophan fermentation. Cost accounting showed that WBCH could be used as a novel and cheap organic nitrogen source for industrial L-tryptophan production.

Abstract
Alkaline stress (AS) is one of the abiotic stressful factors limiting plant's growth and development. Inorganic pyrophosphatase is usually involved in a variety of biological processes in plant in response to the abiotic stresses. Here, to clarify the responsive regulation of inorganic pyrophosphatase in rice under AS, the mutagenesis of the OsPPa6 gene encoding an inorganic pyrophosphatase in rice cv. Kitaake (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) was performed by the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Two homozygous independent mutants with cas9-free were obtained by continuously screening. qPCR reveals that the OsPPa6 gene was significantly induced by AS, and the mutagenesis of the OsPPa6 gene apparently delayed rice's growth and development, especially under AS. Measurements demonstrate that the contents of pyrophosphate in the mutants were higher than those in the wild type under AS, however, the accumulation of inorganic phosphate, ATP, chlorophyll, sucrose, and starch in the mutants were decreased significantly, and the mutagenesis of the OsPPa6 gene remarkably lowered the net photosynthetic rate of rice mutants, thus reducing the contents of soluble sugar and proline, but remarkably increasing MDA, osmotic potentials and Na+/K+ ratio in the mutants under AS. Metabonomics measurement shows that the mutants obviously down-regulated the accumulation of phosphorylcholine, choline, anthranilic acid, apigenin, coniferol and dodecanoic acid, but up-regulated the accumulation of L-valine, alpha-ketoglutarate, phenylpyruvate and L-phenylalanine under AS. This study suggests that the OsPPa6 gene is an important osmotic regulatory factor in rice, and the gene-editing of CRISPR/Cas9-guided is an effective method evaluating the responsive regulation of the stress-induced gene, and simultaneously provides a scientific support for the application of the gene encoding a soluble inorganic pyrophosphatase in molecular breeding.
