1.13.12.19 additional information improvement of ethylene forming enzyme expression in Escherichia coli, method optimization, overview. Because L-arginine is a co-substrate of 2-oxoglutarate for the production of ethylene, L-arginine availability is improved via deregulation of L-arginine biosynthesis. In Escherichia coli, arginine biosynthesis is controlled by a regulatory protein encoded by argR. Knockout of gene argR alleviates regulation of arginine biosynthesis resulting in increased arginine availability. The removal of arginine biosynthesis regulation in the DELTAargR Escherichia coli mutant strain improves production of ethylene by 36% compared to the wild-type strain. Knockout of both small and large subunits of the native glutamate synthase (gltBD) might increase 2-oxoglutarate accumulation and production of ethylene. The removal of a third 2-oxoglutarate-consuming pathway, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (sucA), is also explored. This enzyme catalyzes the formation of succinyl-CoA and CO2 from AKG, and deletion of sucA results in increased 2-oxoglutarate levels in batch culture Pseudomonas syringae
