Abstract: Provided herein are methods for increasing the yield of an extracellular product synthesized by an organism cultured in a continuous aerobic fermentation system. The extracellular product yield is increased through the use of an organism modified to decreased production of polyhydroxyalkanoate, to increase production of the extracellular product, and to include promoters that can be inducible in response to nutrient limitation conditions. The extracellular product yield is also increased by operating the continuous fermentation system under particular nutrient limitation conditions. Also provided are non-naturally occurring organisms that have been modified for use with the provided methods, and extracellular products made using the provided methods.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to genome-scale attenuation or knockout strategies for directing carbon flux to certain carbon based building blocks within the 7-aminoheptanoic acid (7-AHA) and 6-aminohexanoic acid (6-AHA) biosynthesis pathways, for example, to achieve reduced flux to unwanted side products while achieving increased production of desired intermediates and end products. This disclosure also relates to non-naturally occurring mutant bacterial strains comprising one or more gene disruptions in aldehyde reductase and/or aldehyde dehydrogenase genes that are generated to direct carbon flux to certain carbon based building blocks. This disclosure further relates to a method for enhancing production of carbon based building blocks by generating non-naturally occurring mutant bacterial strains, culturing said mutant bacterial strains in the presence of suitable substrates or under desired growth conditions, and substantially purifying the desired end product.
