Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of bioengineering, and in particular to a construction method of a recombinant Yarrowia lipolytica for high succinic acid production and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Succinic acid, also known as succinic acid, is an important dicarboxylic acid that can be used as a synthetic precursor for a variety of chemicals, such as 2-pyrrolidone, maleimide, γ-butyrolactone and 1,4-butanediol. These succinic acid derivatives are widely used in materials, pharmaceuticals, food and other fields. Succinic acid is also a synthetic precursor for biodegradable plastics, such as polybutylene succinate PBS, polybutylene succinate adipate PBSA, etc. Therefore, succinic acid is listed as one of the twelve major bio-based platform chemicals by the U.S. Department of Energy. In industry, succinic acid is mainly obtained by chemical synthesis, which can be divided into oxidation synthesis based on paraffin materials, catalytic hydrogenation synthesis, and oxidation using electrolysis. These chemical synthesis methods consume large amounts of petrochemical raw materials and cause serious pollution. In comparison, the microbial fermentation method has regenerative raw materials, mild reactions, and a green process. Therefore, the production of succinic acid using microbial fermentation is an economical and efficient way. The microbial synthesis of succinic acid mainly relies on bacteria or yeast. Most bacteria produce succinic acid by anaerobic fermentation and have a high yield, but bacterial growth often requires a near-neutral culture environment. In the production process of succinic acid synthesized by bacteria, alkali needs to be continuously added to maintain a neutral pH, which will make the downstream purification process of bacterial succinic acid synthesis more complicated and more expensive. Compared with bacteria, yeast is more resistant to harsh environments such as acidity, which makes the downstream purification process of yeast succinic acid synthesis under low pH conditions simpler and less expensive. In general, if the yeast-based succinic acid production yield can be increased to the level of bacterial fermentation, yeast may be more suitable for the biomanufacturing of succinic acid than bacteria. There are three main microbial synthesis pathways of succinic acid, including the oxidation tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway, the reduction tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway, and the glyoxylate cycle pathway. The synthesis of succinic acid based on the oxidation tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway requires the reduction of succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) activity. This process is accompanied by the release of CO2 and the production of NADH, which has a kinetic advantage. The reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway mainly exists in bacteria. Although some fungi have some enzymes of this pathway, these enzymes are subject to strict metabolic regulation. This pathway fixes one molecule of CO2 for each molecule of succinate synthesized. Compared with the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway, it has a higher theoretical yield, but this process requires the conversion of two molecules of NADH into NAD + The glyoxylate cycle is a complementary pathway to the above two pathways, such as supplementing the intermediate metabolite succinate from the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway. The optimal pathway for succinate synthesis may be a combination of the reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway and the glyoxylate cycle pathway.

[0003] Yarrowia lipolytica is an unconventional yeast with a sequenced genome and relatively mature metabolic engineering tools, and it has high tolerance to acidic environments. In the prior art, Yarrowia lipolytica has achieved the production of succinic acid using the reduced tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway, and the reduced tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway is located in the mitochondrial matrix to couple the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway to promote the recycling of NADH (see Chinese patents CN107916275A and CN114806913A for details). However, Yarrowia lipolytica has high oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway activity, and will continuously release CO2 during the fermentation process, reducing the conversion rate of the substrate.

[0004] In view of this, if the reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway and the glyoxylate cycle pathway are combined through synthetic biology means, and the carbon flux of the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway is redirected to the glyoxylate cycle pathway, the carbon loss of the substrate can be reduced, and the production of succinic acid is expected to be further increased.

[0111] Succinic acid detection detection conditions: HPLC using Aminex HPX-87H column and differential detector was used to determine the concentration of succinic acid and glucose. All samples were filtered with a 0.22 μm filter before loading. 5 mM sulfuric acid was used as the mobile phase, the flow rate was 0.6 mL / min, and the column temperature was 65 °C.

[0112] After 5 days of fermentation, Figure 4 As shown, the succinic acid (SA) concentrations of Yarrowia lipolytica Po1fΔku70-SA0 and recombinant bacteria 1 to 13 (SA-1 to SA-13) were 5.65 g / L and 6.98, 9.98, 10.48, 19.29, 21.44, 24.98, 22.17, 25.27, 27.76, 29.58, 28.98, 32.33 and 35.19 g / L, respectively. Among them, the succinic acid production of recombinant bacteria 13 was the highest, reaching 35.19 g / L, that is, 35.19 g of succinic acid was produced per liter of fermentation liquid, which was significantly higher than that of the initial bacteria. The recombinant bacteria 13 was named Yarrowia lipolytica XJ-RGS1 strain. In the production process of succinic acid, the reduction of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway requires the conversion of 2 molecules of NADH into NAD for each molecule of succinic acid produced. +. The traditional method is to use a substrate with higher reducing power than glucose as a carbon source or to convert NADPH into NADH through a transhydrogenation system. This study couples the glyoxylate pathway and the reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway, using the glyoxylate pathway to replace part of the reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway, namely the step from oxaloacetate to malate, to reduce the consumption of the cofactor NADH. At the same time, the promoter P2, whose expression is reduced under high carbon-nitrogen ratio culture conditions, is used to replace the natural promoter of the endogenous isocitrate dehydrogenase encoding gene IDH1, redirecting the carbon flux of the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway to the glyoxylate cycle pathway, thereby reducing carbon loss and providing the precursor citric acid for the glyoxylate cycle pathway. The fermentation results showed that this strategy significantly increased the yield of succinic acid.

[0115] The recombinant bacteria 13 was inoculated into 50 mL of seed culture medium (YPD medium) and cultured at 28°C and 200 rpm for 24 h to obtain seed solution 1, and then the seed solution 1 was transferred to 100 mL of seed culture medium (YPD medium) at an inoculation amount of 5% v / v and cultured at 28°C and 200 rpm for 24 h to obtain seed solution 2, and then the seed solution 2 was inoculated into a 5L fermenter at an inoculation amount of 5% v / v. 2.5L of fermentation medium was contained in the 5L fermenter, and the fermentation dissolved oxygen was controlled to 20%. The pH value was not controlled during the fermentation process until the fermentation was completed. When the fermentation time was about 48 h, an aqueous solution containing 800 g of glucose per liter was added at a flow rate of 7-15 mL / h. The fermentation temperature was 28°C and the culture time was 7 days. Among them, the components of the fermentation medium were 150 g / L of glucose, 10 g / L of yeast extract and 20 g / L of peptone. After 7 days of fermentation, the maximum succinic acid production of recombinant bacteria 13 reached 112.85 g / L, that is, 112.85 g of succinic acid was produced per liter of fermentation liquid (Table 3), which was significantly higher than that of the initial bacteria and recombinant bacteria 3.
