Lignin is a polymer found as 15-30% of plant biomass, and is produced industrially as a low-value by-product of pulp/paper manufacture and biofuel production. It contains phenolic monomer units, hence it represents a possible renewable source of aromatic chemicals that are needed industrially to make plastics, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, currently derived from crude oil. As part of the effort to develop a sustainable European bio-based chemical industry, we wish to convert lignin into renewable chemicals, however, due to its highly inert structure, no commercial process has yet been developed for conversion of lignin to renewable chemicals. Recently Prof. Bugg's group at Warwick have discovered two novel bacterial lignin-degrading enzymes, and have shown that the lignin breakdown pathways in Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 can be modified genetically in order to generate vanillin, a chemical used in the food/flavour industry. However, at present the metabolic pathways and regulatory systems for lignin breakdown in bacteria are not well understood. Therefore, in this project we will study Pseudomonas putida KT2440, a lignin-degrading bacterium whose genome has been sequenced and whose aromatic metabolic network is the best known in bacteria, to elucidate the metabolic and regulatory networks for lignin degradation. We will then use this knowledge to reprogramme this bacterium, using high activity lignin-degrading enzymes, to produce two target chemicals that are of interest for the production of renewable bioplastics. With industrial partner Biome Bioplastics, we will then develop a fermentation-based process for the production of renewable aromatic chemicals from lignin.

木质素是一种聚合物，占植物生物质的15-30%，在工业上作为纸浆/造纸和生物燃料生产的低价值副产品生产。它含有酚类单体单元，因此它代表了工业上制造塑料、药品和农用化学品所需的芳香族化学品的可能的可再生来源，这些化学品目前来自原油。作为发展可持续的欧洲生物基化学工业的努力的一部分，我们希望将木质素转化为可再生化学品，然而，由于其高度惰性的结构，尚未开发出将木质素转化为可再生化学品的商业方法。最近，沃里克的Bugg教授小组发现了两种新的细菌木质素降解酶，并表明可以通过基因修饰Rhodococcus jostii RHA 1中的木质素分解途径，以产生香草醛，一种用于食品/调味品工业的化学品。然而，目前对细菌中木质素降解的代谢途径和调控系统还不清楚。因此，在本项目中，我们将研究恶臭假单胞菌KT 2440，一种木质素降解细菌，其基因组已被测序，其芳香族代谢网络是细菌中最知名的，以阐明木质素降解的代谢和调控网络。然后，我们将利用这些知识重新编程这种细菌，使用高活性的木质素降解酶，生产两种对可再生生物塑料生产感兴趣的目标化学品。与工业合作伙伴Biome Bioplastics一起，我们将开发一种基于发酵的工艺，用于从木质素中生产可再生芳香化学品。
