The L-valine production strain of Escherichia coli was constructed by rational metabolic engineering. Feedback inhibition of ilvH was removed by site-directed mutagenesis and the native promoter containing the transcriptional attenuator leader region of the ilvGMEDA and ilvBN operon was replaced with the stronger tac promoter. ilvA, leuA and panB were deleted to provide more available substrate for L-valine biosynthesis. The base strain harboring pKKilvBN gave 11.2 mM of L-valine within 18 hours of batch fermentation. Transcriptome analysis was performed to elucidate the effect of L-valine production on the cellular physiology during batch fermentation. The stepwise improvement from the base strain was carried out. The present study highlights the success of rational metabolic engineering for the production of L-valine by E. coli.
