Corn cob is the secondary agricultural residue that can be easily hydrolyzed into hydrolysate with abundantd-xylose. Besidesd-xylose,d-glucose, andl-arabinose are also utilizable sugars in corn cob hydrolysate. Here, we established a coutilization system through which recombinantEscherichia colican used-glucose andl-arabinose supporting its growth and convertd-xylose in corn cob hydrolysate intod-xylonate. First, biosynthetic pathway ofd-xylonate was overexpressed and two xylonate dehydratases were knocked out inE. coliW3110 to enhanced-xylonate production fromd-xylose. Then, the genes responsible for acetate, ethanol, and lactate synthesis were knocked out to decrease these byproducts production during the growth of the recombinant strain. Three successive strategies were employed to enhance thed-xylonate production—using lactose as the inducer, eliminating carbon catabolite repression, and inactivating the lactose degradation. Finally, 108.2 g/Ld-xylonate was produced with a yield of 1.09 g ofd-xylonate/g ofd-xylose usingd-xylose as the substrate andd-glucose as the carbon source through fed-batch fermentation. When corn cob hydrolysate was used, 91.2 g/Ld-xylonate was produced with a specific productivity of 1.52 g/[L·h]. This study is valuable not only for producingd-xylonate but also for providing a coutilization system to obtain other important chemicals from corn cob hydrolysate.
