Abstract
3‐Fucosyllactose (3‐FL), one of the major oligosaccharides in human breast milk, is produced in engineered Escherichia coli. In order to search for a good α‐1,3‐fucosyltransferase, three bacterial α‐1,3‐fucosyltransferases are expressed in engineered E. coli deficient in β‐galactosidase activity and expressing the essential enzymes for the production of guanosine 5′‐diphosphate‐l‐fucose, the donor of fucose for 3‐FL biosynthesis. Among the three enzymes tested, the fucT gene from Helicobacter pylori National Collection of Type Cultures 11637 gives the best 3‐FL production in a simple batch fermentation process using glycerol as a carbon source and lactose as an acceptor. In order to use glucose as a carbon source, the chromosomal ptsG gene, considered the main regulator of the glucose repression mechanism, is disrupted. The resulting E. coli strain of ∆LP‐YA+FT shows a much lower performance of 3‐FL production (4.50 g L−1) than the ∆L‐YA+FT strain grown in a glycerol medium (10.7 g L−1), suggesting that glycerol is a better carbon source than glucose. Finally, the engineered E. coli ∆LW‐YA+FT expressing the essential genes for 3‐FL production and blocking the colanic acid biosynthetic pathway (∆wcaJ) exhibits the highest concentration (11.5 g L−1), yield (0.39 mol mol−1), and productivity (0.22 g L−1 h) of 3‐FL in glycerol‐limited fed‐batch fermentation.
