Abstract

Fermentation and chemical methods for industrial cytidine diphosphate choline (CDP-choline) catalytic production both suffer from several disadvantages such as relatively low efficiency and productivity. To overcome these problems, we applied the concept of synthetic biology to develop a new one-pot multi-enzyme system to produce CDP-choline from orotic acid. Enzymes from different sources were selected and optimized as building blocks of the system, and parameters such as oxygen supply were also optimized. This system shows a titer of 37.6 ± 1.1 mM and a reaction rate of 1.6 mM L-1 h−1, both increase 66 % from traditional processes. It also has an efficiency of energy of 25.4%, improves 2-folds. This new one-pot CDP-choline-producing system has a potential for industrial use, and the procedure to design one-pot multi-enzyme system can be applied to build other one-pot system producing energy-rich compounds.
