The aromatic compound 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-AHBA) can be employed as a raw material for high-performance industrial plastics. The aim of this study is to produce 3,4-AHBA via a recombinant Streptomyces lividans strain containing griI and griH genes derived from Streptomyces griseus using culture medium with glucose and/or xylose, which are the main components in lignocellulosic biomass. Production of 3,4-AHBA by the recombinant S. lividans strain was successful, and the productivity was affected by the kind of sugar used as an additional carbon source. Metabolic profiles revealed that L aspartate-4-semialdehyde (ASA), a precursor of 3,4-AHBA, and coenzyme NADPH were supplied in greater amounts in xylose medium than in glucose medium. Moreover, cultivation in TSB medium with a mixed sugar (glucose/xylose) was found to be effective for 3,4-AHBA production, and optimal conditions for efficient production were designed by changing the ratio of glucose to xylose. The best productivity of 2.70 g/L was achieved using a sugar mixture of 25 g/L glucose and 25 g/L xylose, which was 1.5 times higher than the result using 50 g/L glucose alone. These results suggest that Streptomyces is a suitable candidate platform for 3,4-AHBA production from lignocellulosic biomass-derived sugars under appropriate culture conditions.
