Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, and in particular relates to a recombinant lipophilic yeast strain that produces high levels of palmitoleic acid, its construction method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Palmitoleic acid (C16:1Δ9) is a 16-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid, classified as an omega-7 fatty acid based on the position of its double bonds. As a unique fatty acid, palmitoleic acid has multiple functional applications. Since the 20th century, the increase in chronic diseases (such as obesity and cardiovascular disease) has posed a significant threat to human health. Many studies have linked these diseases to unhealthy diets, primarily referring to excessive intake of macronutrients such as sugar, protein, and fat. Recent studies have demonstrated that palmitoleic acid is a key indicator of fatty acids in the human body and may be closely linked to the development of various diseases, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver. In the pharmaceutical field, it is also widely used as an antithrombotic drug to prevent stroke. Due to its ability to inhibit melanin production, it is also commonly used in skin cleansers and has the potential to be an effective skin whitening agent.

[0003] Currently, palmitoleic acid synthesis mainly relies on plant synthesis and microalgae production. However, plant-based palmitoleic acid production has many disadvantages. First, these plants require specific climatic conditions, and the high cost of land and long growth cycle introduce uncontrollable factors such as climate change and human intervention. Microalgae production also faces many challenges. Gene manipulation of microalgae is difficult, metabolic modification has limited potential, and the extraction and cost of microalgae oils are obstacles to industrial-scale production. Compared to plant extraction, microbial fermentation has a shorter growth cycle, can operate around the clock, and the oil-producing microorganisms have high oil content and large biomass, making it an economical and efficient method for palmitoleic acid production. However, current technologies lack microorganisms capable of efficiently producing palmitoleic acid. Summary of the Invention

ELO1 -P CTR1 The introduction of the linearized plasmids pUC-HUH-Pex10 and pUC-HUH-IntA-ACC1 and the screening and identification of positive recombinant bacteria were then performed. Using the same method, the linearized plasmids pUC-HUH-Pex10 and pUC-HUH-IntA-ACC1 were sequentially introduced into the positive recombinant bacteria obtained in the previous step. After each plasmid introduction, positive recombinant bacteria were screened and identified. One hisG tag and one Ura selection marker were lost. Positive clones identified by PCR were plated on YPD plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid. Single colonies were then streaked simultaneously on both YPD plates and SD-Ura plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid. Single colonies that grew on YPD plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid but not on SD-Ura plates were selected to obtain recombinant bacteria 4.

[0166] (v) Construction of recombinant strain 5

[0167] Linearized recombinant plasmids pUC-HUH-GPAT-SbGPAT, pUC-HUH-LPAAT-SbLPAAT, pUC-HUH-DGAT2-SbDGAT2, and pUC-HUH-PDAT-SbPDAT were sequentially introduced into recombinant bacteria 4. SbGPAT, SbLPAAT, SbDGAT2, and SbPDAT were integrated into the GPAT, LPAAT, DGAT2, and PDAT sites, respectively, via homologous recombination, resulting in recombinant bacteria 5. Positive recombinant bacteria were screened after each plasmid introduction and used as host bacteria for the next plasmid introduction. The introduction and screening methods for each plasmid were the same as those described in the title (I) of this embodiment, specifically ① linearized recombinant plasmid pUC-HUH-P ELO1 -P CTR1 The introduction of the plasmid and the screening and identification of positive recombinant bacteria were carried out. After introducing the last linearized plasmid pUC-HUH-PDAT-SbPDAT, the obtained positive recombinant bacteria were screened and identified. After losing one hisG tag and Ura selection marker, recombinant bacteria 5 were obtained. The specific method for losing one hisG tag and Ura selection marker is the same as in the title (I) of this embodiment.

[0168] Example 3: Application of recombinant Yersinia lipolytica in the production of palmitic acid

[0169] (a) Cultivation of engineered bacteria and extraction of products

[0170] The initial strain was Yersinia lipophila (Yersinia lipophila). Yarrowia lipolytica Po1f Δku70 and recombinant strains 1-5 from Example 2 were used to produce palmitoleic acid. The specific method is as follows: Each strain was streaked on YPD plates (containing 20 g / L peptone, 10 g / L yeast extract, 20 g / L glucose, and 10 g / L agar) and cultured overnight to activate the strains. The activated strains were then inoculated into YPD liquid medium (containing 20 g / L peptone, 10 g / L yeast extract, and 20 g / L glucose, with water as the solvent) and cultured at 30°C and 220 rpm for 16 hours to obtain the seed culture. The seed culture was inoculated at a rate of 1% into 50 ml of fermentation medium and cultured with shaking at 30°C and 220 rpm for 5 days. At the 48th hour of shaking culture, 4 g / L of copper sulfate aqueous solution was added to bring the final concentration of copper sulfate in the fermentation broth to 40 μM. After fermentation, the fermentation broth was transferred to a 50ml centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 5000rpm for 15min, the supernatant was discarded, and the bacterial precipitate was placed in an oven (75℃) and dried to constant weight to obtain dried bacterial cells.

[0171] The fermentation medium formula is as follows: glucose 60g / L, amino-free yeast nitrogen source (YNB) 1.7g / L, ammonium sulfate 1.3g / L, and water as the solvent.

[0172] (II) Qualitative and quantitative analysis of palmitoleic acid

[0173] 1. Fatty acid methyl esterification

[0174] Weigh approximately 0.05 g of dried bacterial cells and add 100 μL of a 0.2408 g / L methyl tridecanoate solution in hexane as an internal standard, along with 500 μL of a 1M NaOH solution in methanol. Vortex the sample at 1200 rpm for 1 hour at room temperature (25℃), then neutralize with 40 μL of 98% sulfuric acid. Add 400 μL of hexane and vortex at 1200 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature (25℃), at which point the fatty acid methyl esters are extracted into the hexane. Centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 2 minutes, collect the supernatant, filter it through an organic nylon membrane (0.22 μm), and transfer it to a glass bottle for GC analysis.

[0175] 2. Palmitoleic acid detection

[0176] GC detection conditions: FID detector, injection port temperature 250℃, injection volume 1 μl, split ratio: 50:1, column: DB-23 column (60 m * 0.25 μm * 0.15 μm). Chromatographic conditions: initial temperature 100℃, increased to 196℃ at a rate of 25℃ / min, then increased to 220℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, held for 2 min. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed using a mixed fatty acid standard from Sigma-Aldrich.

[0177] Under the above conditions, the elution time of methyl palmitate detected by GC was approximately 6.2 min. Figure 6 ).

[0178] After 5 days of fermentation, palmitoleic acid accumulation was detected in all strains. The percentage of palmitoleic acid in total fatty acids in recombinant strains 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 7.62%, 15.67%, 20.14%, 24.15%, and 41.57%, respectively. Recombinant strain 5 had the highest palmitoleic acid yield (Table 3), reaching 2.84 g / L, meaning it produced 2.84 g of palmitoleic acid per liter of fermentation broth, significantly higher than the initial strain and other recombinant strains.

[0179] Table 3. Palmitoleic acid yield of the initial strain, recombinant strain 3, and recombinant strain 5

[0180]

[0181] Recombinant strain 5 was inoculated into 50 ml of seed culture (YPD medium) and cultured for 24 h. Then, the seed culture was inoculated into a 5 L fermenter at an inoculation rate of 5%. 2.5 L of fermentation medium was added to the 5 L fermenter. Fermentation was carried out for 0-48 h, with dissolved oxygen controlled at 20%; after 48 h, dissolved oxygen was controlled at 5%. The pH was maintained constant at 5.5 throughout fermentation until completion. Feed was added twice, at 40 h and 96 h, with 800 ml of 800 g / L glucose solution added each time. The fermentation temperature was 28℃, and the stirring speed was adjusted according to dissolved oxygen levels. The culture time was 6 days. The fermentation medium contained: glucose 150 g / L, ammonium sulfate 11 g / L, yeast extract 3 g / L, corn peptone 0.1 g / L, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 4 g / L, magnesium sulfate 2 g / L, calcium sulfate 0.8 g / L, sodium chloride 0.4 g / L, ammonium sulfate hydrochloride 12 mg / L, biotin 1 mg / L, sodium molybdate 160 mg / L, copper sulfate 0.2 mg / L, boric acid 40 mg / L, manganese sulfate 180 mg / L, and ferrous chloride 75 mg / L. After 5 days of fermentation, recombinant strain 5 produced the highest palmitoleic acid yield, reaching 10.56 g / L, or 10.56 g of palmitoleic acid per liter of fermentation broth (Table 3), significantly higher than the initial strain and other recombinant strains.
