Our project aim increased the degradation of fatty acid (Beta
oxidation pathway) in Shewanella putrefaciens. So, we choose 2
methodologies to do that.
1° inhibition of the FadR expression (fatty acid
metabolism regulator protein)
The beta-oxidation is not a constituve pathway but with the
mutation of the transcription factor, FadR, which functions as a
switch that co-ordinately regulates the machinery required for fatty
acid beta-oxidation, we hope turn this pathway constituve. To
increased the degradation of fatty acid by S. Putrefaciens.
2° Increase the FadL and FadD expression.
Our second step in genetic engineering of Shewanella is
overexpression of two important genes for beta oxidation : (1)
The FadL, Long-chain fatty acid outer membrane transporte, is a
gene of fatty acid transport protein, outer membrane; long-chain
fatty acid receptor to enhance the long chain fatty acids intake
by Shewanella putrefaciens and (2) The FadD, Long-chain-fattyacid-CoA ligase, ligates CoA in fatty acid chain preparing it to get
into the Beta-Oxidation metabolic pathway. These overexpression
will increased B-oxidation and therefore ATP, H+ and electrons
production.
