Engineering cellular metabolism for improved production of valuable chemicals requires extensive modulation of bacterial genome to explore complex genetic spaces. Here, we report the development of a CRISPR-Cas9 based method for iterative genome editing and metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli This system enables us to introduce various types of genomic modifications with near 100% editing efficiency and to introduce three mutations simultaneously. We also found that cells with intact mismatch repair system had reduced chance to escape CRISPR mediated cleavage and yielded increased editing efficiency. To demonstrate its potential, we used our method to integrate the beta-carotene synthetic pathway into the genome and to optimize the methylerythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway and central metabolic pathways for beta-carotene overproduction. We collectively tested 33 genomic modifications and constructed more than 100 genetic variants for combinatorially exploring the metabolic landscape. Our best producer contained15 targeted mutations and produced 2.0 g/L beta-carotene in fed-batch fermentation. (C) 2015 International Metabolic Engineering Society. Published by Elsevier Inc.
