Reaction Steps

On the other hand, when the P. ananatis NA1 strain containing pTWVPtac_ccrNXA_Km was cultured with the mixed carbon source of glucose and xylose (MSII-GX medium), the glutamic acid yield was significantly higher as compared to the parent strain (yield: 69.9%). If it is taken into consideration that the parent strain hardly produces glutamic acid from xylose, and it is assumed that the glutamic acid yield from glucose of the strain containing pTWVPtac_ccrNXA_Km is equivalent to that of the parent strain, the yield of glutamic acid produced from xylose via the NXA pathway is about 86%. In fact, when the culture was performed with xylose as the sole carbon source (MSII-Xylose), the strain containing pTWVPtac_ccrNXA_Km produced Glu at a yield of 80% (Table 3).
