High-Level Production of NMN in Escherichia coli Through Co-Utilization of Glucose and Glycerol

) was introduced to enhance glycerol utilization, aiming to compensate for the growth defects associated with impaired glycolysis. These modifications enabled glycerol to primarily support cell growth and energy metabolism, while improving glucose allocation toward NMN biosynthesis by reducing its competitive consumption through glycolysis. As a result, the final strain achieved an NMN titer of 32.92 g/L in a 2 L bioreactor, representing a 26.28% increase in NMN production and a substantial 34.48% improvement in carbon conversion efficiency. Our research provides an effective strategy to achieve industrial-scale production of NMN, laying a foundation for the widespread application of NMN.
