Muconic acid is a platform chemical and an important intermediate in the degradation process of a series of aromatic compounds. Herein, a plasmid-free synthetic pathway in Pseudomonas chlororaphis HT66 is constructed for the enhanced biosynthesis of muconic acid by connecting endogenous ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway with protocatechuate degradation pathway using chromosomal integration. Instead of being plasmid and inducer dependent, the engineered strains could steadily produce the high muconic acid using glycerol as a carbon source. The engineered strain HT66-MA6 achieved a 3376 mg/L muconic acid production with a yield of 187.56 mg/g glycerol via the following strategies: (1) block muconic acid conversion and enhance muconic acid efflux pumping with phenazine biosynthesis cluster; (2) increase the muconic acid precursors supply through overexpressing the rate-limiting step, and (3) coexpress the 3-dehydroshikimate-derived route in parallel with the 4-hydroxybenzoic acid -derived route to create a synthetic metabolic funnel. Finally, on the basis of the glycerol feeding strategies, the muconic acid yield reached 0.122 mol/mol glycerol. The results suggest that the construction of synthetic pathway with a plasmid-free strategy in P. chlororaphis displays a high biotechnological perspective.
