The compound structure is as follows:

[0003]

[0004] So far, the methods for obtaining 10-HDA mainly include extraction method, chemical synthesis method and microbial fermentation method. There are many extraction methods, including ether extraction method, ethanol extraction method, etc. However, the content of 10-HDA in royal jelly is relatively low, which is difficult to meet the extensive demand of the market, and the extraction cost is high. Since the 1960s of last century, various chemical synthesis methods of 10-HDA have been designed and applied to production, such as Doebmer condensation method, the substrate of which is 1,6-hexanediol, and the yield is 61%; condensation method, which uses γ-bromobutyric acid ethyl ester Grignard and organic magnesium compound as substrate, and generates 10-HDA after condensation, and the yield of this method reaches 70%. The above experimental methods can obtain 10-HDA, but chemical synthesis method has unavoidable shortcomings, such as harsh production conditions, easy pollution, etc., and the raw materials are not easy to obtain, the synthesis route is long, the yield is low, and there are cis-trans isomerism problems in chemical synthesis, and the product singleness is poor. Therefore, the production of 10-HDA based on biological synthesis method has become a new research direction.

[0059] Candida tropicalis: YPD medium, 30℃, 200rpm shaking culture for 48h,

[0067] LB medium: yeast extract powder 0.5%, peptone 1%, NaCl 1%, pH adjusted to 7.0 with NaOH.

[0068] YPD medium: yeast extract powder 1%, peptone 2%, glucose 2%;

[0069] (2) Bacterial transfer: take 1 mL of the above activated bacterial strain and inoculate into 50 mL of liquid medium, the culture conditions are the same as when the strain is activated, and the culture is carried out until the OD 600 of the bacterial solution is 0.8, then the temperature is lowered to 16°C for 1 hour, IPTG is added to make the concentration of IPTG in the medium 0.5 mM, and the culture is carried out at the culture temperature as when activated, 200 rpm for 20 h;

[0070] (3) Collecting bacterial cells: take 50 mL of the above bacterial solution, centrifuge at 5000 rpm, 4°C for 15 min, and collect the bacterial cells;

[0071] (4) Wash the precipitate three times with 100 mM PBS buffer (pH 7.2-7.4), and resuspend the bacterial cells with a transformation medium containing 1% glycerol, 0.4% glucose, the rest being 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), and 10-hydroxydecanoic acid is added to make the concentration of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid in the medium 1 g / L, and the reaction is carried out at the culture temperature as when activated, 200 rpm for 48 h, to obtain the fermentation liquor.

[0072] Fermentation broth silanization treatment: take 1 mL of fermentation broth in a 2 mL centrifuge tube, add 1 mL of 4M HC1 solution, vortex centrifuge, heat at 100°C for 10 min, then refrigerate at -80°C for 15 min, after thawing at room temperature, add 1 mL of ethyl acetate, vortex centrifuge, collect the organic phase into a new tube, add 100 μL of N, O-bis (trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide, shake well, and use after 40 min in a 70°C water bath.

[0073] Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detection of product formation and substrate consumption: gas chromatography with nitrogen as carrier gas, constant flow mode, injection volume 1 μL, split injection, split ratio 1:50, injection temperature 250°C, 50°C for 1 min, then increase to 250°C at 15°C / min, hold for 10 min.

[0074] During fermentation, the content of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid in the fermentation broth of the strain changes as shown in Figure 1 The consumption rate of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid by different strains was calculated, and the results are as follows:

[0075] Table 1: Consumption rate of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid by different strains

[0076] Strains Consumption rate Candida tropicalis 100% Escherichia coli 2% Staphylococcus aureus 1% Corynebacterium glutamicum 1% Bacillus subtilis 1% Yarrowia lipolytica 100% Saccharomyces cerevisiae 7%

[0077] From the above table data, after 48 h of reaction, the consumption rate of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid by Candida tropicalis and Yarrowia lipolytica was 100%, while Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium glutamicum, Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not consume 10-hydroxydecanoic acid.

[0078] The synthesis route of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid disclosed in the prior art is: first react the substrate decanoic acid to form trans-2-decenoic acid, and then form 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid through terminal hydroxylation of trans-2-decenoic acid, as disclosed in Chinese Patent Document CN109897870A (application number 201910088897.0) and Chinese Patent Document CN113106109A (application number 202110211118.9). In the process of research, another synthesis route of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid is constructed, that is, first hydroxylate the substrate decanoic acid to form 10-hydroxydecanoic acid, and then form 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid through beta oxidation of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid. However, in the previous research, it is found that in this synthesis route, after the formation of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid, the reaction activity of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid to form 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid is weak, resulting in the accumulation of a large amount of intermediate product 10-hydroxydecanoic acid, and the formation of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid from 10-hydroxydecanoic acid is the rate-limiting step of this synthesis route. In the technical solution of Chinese Patent Document CN109402182A (application number 201811126048.1), 10-hydroxydecanoic acid is used as the substrate to produce 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid, and the unstable phenomenon of sometimes having product and sometimes not having product also occurs. The present application finds through the above experiment that not all strains can metabolize 10-hydroxydecanoic acid to form 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid, and the enzyme in the beta oxidation pathway may be a key factor affecting the formation of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid from 10-hydroxydecanoic acid.

[0153] Table 3: Yield of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid and conversion rate of each genetically engineered bacterium

[0154] Strains Yield / (g / L) Conversion rate Initial host bacteria Escherichia coli 0 0 (BL21) / pET28a-SUMO-YdiI, pETDuet-1- Ct ACD]] 0.043 43% (BL21) / pET28a-SUMO-YdiI, pETDuet-1- Yl ACD]] 0.035 35% Initial host bacteria Saccharomyces cerevisiae 0 0 Sc. / pESC-URA-SUMO-YdiI, pETDuet-1- Ct ACD]]> 0.032 32% Sc. / pESC-URA-SUMO-YdiI, pETDuet-1- Yl ACD]]> 0.028 28%
