Polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising biomass-derived polymer, but is currently synthesized by a two-step process: fermentative production of lactic acid followed by chemical polymerization. Here we report production of PLA homopolymer and its copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-lactate), P(3HB-co-LA), by direct fermentation of metabolically engineered Escherichia coli. Introduction of the heterologous metabolic pathways involving engineered propionate CoA-transferase and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase for the efficient generation of lactyl-CoA and incorporation of lactyl-CoA into the polymer, respectively, allowed synthesis of PLA and P(3HB-co-LA) in E. coli, but at relatively low efficiency1. In this study, the metabolic pathways of E. coli were further engineered based on in silico genome-scale metabolic flux analysis in addition to rational approach2. Using this engineered strain, PLA homopolymer and P(3HB-co-LA) copolymers containing up to 70 mol% lactate could be produced up to 11 wt% and 46 wt% from glucose, respectively. Thus, the combined approaches of systems-level metabolic engineering and enzyme engineering allowed efficient bio-based one-step production of PLA and its opolymers.
