Modular Engineering of Biomass Degradation Pathways
Abstract
Production of fuels and chemicals from renewable lignocellulosic feedstocks is a promising alternative to petroleum-derived compounds. Because of the complexity of lignocellulosic feedstocks, microbial conversion of all potential substrates will require substantial metabolic engineering. Non-model microbes offer desirable physiological traits, but also increase the difficulty of heterologous pathway engineering and optimization. The development of modular design principles that allow metabolic pathways to be used in a variety of novel microbes with minimal strain-specific optimization will enable the rapid construction of microbes for commercial production of biofuels and bioproducts. In this review, we discuss variability of lignocellulosic feedstocks, pathways for catabolism of lignocellulose-derived compounds, challenges to heterologous engineering of catabolic pathways, and opportunities to apply modular pathway design. Implementation of these approaches will simplify the process of modifying non-model microbes to convert diverse lignocellulosic feedstocks.

Figure 1: Process diagram of lignocellulosic biofuel production. Plant biomass is pretreated to loosen the cell wall structure for enzymatic hydrolysis and the release of fermentable sugars from structural polysaccharides, such as cellulose. Sugars are then fermented into biofuels or other chemical products. Pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation can theoreticallymore »
