Abstract

β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide is a biologically active nucleotide compound, and its excellent anti-aging activity is widely used in medicine and has multiple functions, making NMN have broad application prospects in the fields of nutrition, health food, and even medicine. Herein, based on the supply of the co-substrate PRPP, we designed and constructed three in vivo NMN synthesis pathways using glucose, xylose, and arabinose as raw materials and Escherichia coli as the host. The best in vivo pathway through whole-cell catalysis was identified. Then, we optimized the cell culture and catalytic conditions of the optimal path to determine the optimal conditions and ultimately obtained an NMN titer of 1.8 mM.
