We have recently developedCorynebacterium glutamicumstrains that produce free fatty acids in culture supernatant due to enhanced fatty acid biosynthesis. Of these producing strains, the basic producer PAS-15 has a defect in the gene for a fatty acid biosynthesis repressor protein, and the advanced producer PCC-6 has two additional mutations to augment the production by strain PAS-15. The aim of the present study was to obtain novel genetic traits for improving fatty acid production by these producers. A new mutant with increased production derived from strain PAS-15 had a missense mutation in theaccD3gene (mutationaccD3A433T), which is involved in the biosynthesis of mycolic acids that are cell envelope lipids ofC. glutamicum, as the causal mutation. MutationaccD3A433Twas verified to reduce the AccD3 enzymatic activity and increase fatty acid production in strain PAS-15 by 1.8-fold. Deletion of theaccD3gene in strain PAS-15, which was motivated by the characteristic of mutationaccD3A433T, increased fatty acid production by 3.2-fold. Susceptibility of strain PAS-15 to vancomycin was significantly increased byaccD3gene deletion and by mutationaccD3A433Tto the intermediate level, suggesting that the cell envelope permeability barrier by mycolic acids is weakened by this engineering. Furthermore, mutationaccD3A433Talso increased fatty acid production in strain PCC-6 by 1.3-fold. These increased production levels were suggested to be involved not only in the redirection of carbon flux from mycolic acid biosynthesis to fatty acid production but also in the permeability of the cell envelope.
