Carbon dioxide emission and acidification during chemical biosynthesis are critical challenges toward microbial cell factories' sustainability efficiency. Due to its acidophilic traits among workhorse lineages, the probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle (EcN) has emerged as a promising bioproducer. However, EcN lacks CO2-fixing system. Herein, was equipped with simultaneous CO2 fixation system subsequently utilized produce low-emission 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA). Two different artificial CO2-assimilating pathways were reconstructed: novel ribose-1,5-bisphosphate (R15P) route conventional ribulose-5-phosphate (Ru5P) route. CRISPRi employed target pfkAB zwf genes in order redirect carbon flux. As expected, design successfully strengthened fixation. The via R15P resulted high biomass, while engineered Ru5P acquired highest 5-ALA suppressed release by 77%. production synchronized through fine-tuning non-native CRISPRi.
