Recombinant plasmid combination, genetically modified saccharomycetes and method for producing odd-chain fatty acid

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of eukaryotic saccharomycetes gene modification and fermentation, and provides a recombinant plasmid combination, genetically modified saccharomycetes and a method for producing odd-chain fatty acid, the recombinant plasmid combination comprises at least one expression plasmid; the expression plasmid comprises at least one polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having threonine deaminase activity, fatty acid synthase activity, propionyl-CoA synthase activity, aldehyde dehydrogenase activity or keto acid decarboxylase activity; the recombinant plasmid combination can be used for carrying out genetic engineering modification on microorganisms, so that expression regulation of key enzymes can be carried out in the modified microorganisms to establish a synthetic route of odd-chain fatty acid, the odd-chain fatty acid can be directly synthesized by utilizing L-threonine and (or) glucose of propionic acid or non-propionic acid, the fermentation cost is low, and the yield and proportion of odd-chain fatty acid can be further improved by a gene modification method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of eukaryotic yeast genetic modification and fermentation, in particular to a recombinant plasmid combination for odd-chain fatty acid synthesis, genetically modified yeast and a method for producing odd-chain fatty acids. Background technique [0002] Odd chain fatty acid (OCFA) functions similarly to unsaturated fatty acids and helps to improve the fluidity of cell membranes. The vast majority of fatty acids in nature are even-chain fatty acids, and odd-chain fatty acids are extremely rare, so odd-chain fatty acids are more valuable than conventional even-chain fatty acids. In terms of production, both chemical synthesis and natural extraction of odd-chain fatty acids are relatively difficult. The former is seriously polluted, and the latter is too expensive. The use of microorganisms to produce odd-chain fatty acids is an important way to solve the difficult problem of odd-chain fatty acid production. [0003] At...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention lies in the difficulty in increasing the production and ratio of odd-chain fatty acids in the microorganisms of the genetic engineering transformation in the prior art, and the defects that the fermentation cost is too high, and then provides a kind of recombinant plasmid for the synthesis of odd-number chain fatty acids Combination, genetically modified yeast and methods for producing odd chain fatty acids, starting from eukaryotic yeast, using recombinant plasmid combination to obtain intracellular enzyme expression regulated yeast through genetic engineering and establishing odd chains in microbial cells The synthesis pathway of chain fatty acids enables genetically engineered yeast to not only produce odd-chain fatty acids using propionic acid or non-propionic acid medium environment, but also to directly synthesize odd-chain fatty acids by using L-threonine and (or) glucose, and ferment Low cost, can further increase the production and ratio of odd chain fatty acids through genetic modification
