additional information engineering of Escherichia coli for increased riboflavin production: overexpression of gene ribB to increase the flux from ribulose 5-phosphate to 3,4-dihydroxybutan-2-one 4-phosphate. Then ndk and gmk genes are overexpressed to enhance GTP supply. Subsequently, a R419L mutation is introduced into purA to reduce the flux from IMP to AMP. Co-overexpression of mutant purF and prs genes further increased riboflavin production. The final strain RF18S produces 387.6 mg riboflavin per liter with a yield of 44.8 mg riboflavin per gram glucose in shake-flask fermentations. The final titer and yield are 72.2% and 55.6%.
