Abstract
In this study, we aimed to develop a Bacillus megaterium based whole-cell biocatalyst for the bio-production of 3-aminopropionic acid (3-APA). l-aspartate-α-decarboxylases (ADC) (EC: 4.1.1.11) from Escherichia coli, B. megaterium, Corynebacterium glutamicum, and Bacillus subtilis were expressed in B. megaterium. B. subtilis derived ADC (panD Bs ) exhibited the highest ADC activity of 0.9 ± 0.02 U/mL in recombinant B. megaterium. Combination of codon optimization and gene duplication strategies resulted in 415.56% enhancement of ADC activity compared to panD Bs . The culture growth conditions of B. megaterium (BMD-7) for 3-APA production were optimized as follows: inducer concentration, 0.5% (w/v); time of induction, 3 h; induction temperature, 37 °C and post-induction incubation time, 8 h. Improvement of the whole-cell biocatalytic process efficiency, was dealt by optimization of reaction temperature, reaction pH, metal ion additives and l-aspartic acid concentration. Shake flask level experiments yielded an enhanced 3-APA titer (16.18 ± 0.26 g/L) and a yield of 0.89 g/g under optimized conditions viz., 45 °C, pH 6.0 and 20 g/L of l-aspartic acid. This study demonstrates the potential of B. megaterium for 3-APA production and paves the scope for the development of 3-APA producing strains in near future.

Abstract
For many years now, Bacillus megaterium serves as a microbial workhorse for the high-level production of recombinant proteins in the g/L-scale. However, efficient and stable production processes require the knowledge of the molecular adaptation strategies of the host organism to establish optimal environmental conditions. Here, we interrogated the osmotic stress response of B. megaterium using transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, and fluxome analyses. An initial transient adaptation consisted of potassium import and glutamate counterion synthesis. The massive synthesis of the compatible solute proline constituted the second longterm adaptation process. Several stress response enzymes involved in iron scavenging and reactive oxygen species (ROS) fighting proteins showed higher levels under prolonged osmotic stress induced by 1.8 M NaCl. At the same time, the downregulation of the expression of genes of the upper part of glycolysis resulted in the activation of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), generating an oversupply of NADPH. The increased production of lactate accompanied by the reduction of acetate secretion partially compensate for the unbalanced (NADH/NAD+) ratio. Besides, the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) mainly supplies the produced NADH, as indicated by the higher mRNA and protein levels of involved enzymes, and further confirmed by 13C flux analyses. As a consequence of the metabolic flux toward acetyl-CoA and the generation of an excess of NADPH, B. megaterium redirected the produced acetyl-CoA toward the polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthetic pathway accumulating around 30% of the cell dry weight (CDW) as PHB. This direct relation between osmotic stress and intracellular PHB content has been evidenced for the first time, thus opening new avenues for synthesizing this valuable biopolymer using varying salt concentrations under non-limiting nutrient conditions.
