Engineering B-ketoadipic Acid Production in Pseudomonas putida KT2440: Cooperative Research and Development (Final Report)
We propose a 2-year project to enable commercialization of an Agile Biofoundry (ABF) related, performance-advantaged bioproduct, B-ketoadipic acid (BKA), in an ABF-relevant, industrially-relevant host, Pseudomonas putida KT2440. Informed by techno-economic analysis (TEA), our BKA production goals are to enable a 40 g/L titer, 0.5 g/L/h productivity, and a 40% molar yield from hydrolysate sugars at the 1 kg scale. This material will be used to produce BKA-nylons.
