Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bioengineering, and in particular to a method for constructing and applying a recombinant lipophilic yeast that produces high levels of rhodioloside. Background Technology
[0002] Salidroside, also known as tyrosol 8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethyl-β-D-glucopyranoside), is a glycoside compound with important pharmacological activity, mainly found in the genus Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea). Rhodiola Rhodioloside is found in the underground organs of plants. Its chemical characteristic is the formation of a glycosidic bond between the 8-hydroxyl group of tyrosol and β-D-glucose, a unique chemical structure that endows it with rich pharmacological activities. Studies have shown that rhodioloside not only possesses powerful antioxidant, anti-fatigue, and anti-aging activities, but also exhibits anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective activities, making it widely used in cosmetics, health products, and the medical field.
[0003] Traditionally, rhodioloside is mainly obtained through direct extraction from Rhodiola rosea plants, using methods such as hot reflux extraction, Soxhlet extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and infrared-assisted extraction. In addition, synthesizing rhodioloside through culturing plant cells or plant callus tissue is a novel approach currently being explored. However, this method faces challenges such as large planting areas, long growth cycles, and climate influences, resulting in low economic efficiency. Many existing chemical synthesis processes exist; for example, using tyrosol or tyrosol analogs as raw materials and utilizing catalysts such as heavy metal salts to catalyze the substrate glycosylation to generate rhodioloside. Shi et al. pioneered a kilogram-scale chemical synthesis process consisting of two chemical steps: first, an acetylation reaction to protect the phenolic hydroxyl group of tyrosol, followed by an O-glycosylation reaction with tetraacetyl bromide glucose under the catalysis of silver carbonate to synthesize rhodioloside. The overall yield was 72%, and the purity was higher than 98% (Shi, TY, Chen, H., Jing, LL, Liu, XY, Sun, XL, Jiang, R. (2011) Development of a kilogram-scale synthesis of salidroside and its analogs[J]. Synthetic Communications (41, 2594-2600). Although chemical synthesis methods offer higher yields and purity, they require various chemical reagents as protective agents or catalysts, using tyrosol or its analogues as substrates. Therefore, these methods are costly, unsafe, and not suitable for scale-up. Furthermore, because rhodioloside is an important raw material for food, pharmaceuticals, and health products, products obtained through chemical methods are not widely popular.
[0004] Rhodioloside is primarily synthesized in nature by plants of the Rhodiola genus, and its metabolic pathway has been elucidated, making microbial synthesis of rhodioloside possible. Microbial fermentation, with its short growth cycle, ability to operate around the clock, and advantages of low cost, mild conditions, and minimal environmental pollution, is currently a hot research topic. However, existing technologies lack microorganisms capable of efficiently producing rhodioloside. Yersinia lipolytica, as an unconventional oil-producing yeast, possesses a natural Ehrlich pathway and a high-throughput pentose phosphate pathway, making it highly suitable for industrial production.

Fermentation was carried out for 0-48 h, with dissolved oxygen controlled at 20%; for fermentation longer than 48 h, dissolved oxygen was controlled at 0-5%. The pH was maintained constant at 5.5 throughout fermentation until completion. Feed was added twice, at 40 h and 96 h, each time with 800 mL of a mixed aqueous solution containing 11.1 g ammonium sulfate and 900 g glucose per liter. The fermentation temperature was 28 °C, and the culture time was 6 days. The fermentation medium consisted of 60 g / L glucose, 10 g / L yeast extract, and 20 g / L peptone. After 6 days of fermentation, the highest rhodioloside yield of recombinant strain 13 reached 21528.9 mg / L, which is 21528.9 mg of rhodioloside per liter of fermentation broth (Table 7), significantly higher than that of the initial strain and recombinant strain 3.
