Description

Field of the Invention

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a recombinant Yarrowia lipolytica producing p-coumaric acid, a construction method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] p-Coumaric acid (p-CA), as an upstream metabolite of the plant phenylpropanoid pathway, is a common precursor of phenylpropanoids, lignans, flavonoids and stilbenes. Various in vivo and in vitro studies have revealed its scavenging and antioxidant properties in reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Therefore, p-coumaric acid has many important applications in nutrition, pharmaceuticals, materials and chemical industries. At present, the main sources of p-coumaric acid are plant extraction, chemical synthesis and biosynthesis. Plant extraction faces problems such as long growth cycle, low yield and great environmental impact, while chemical synthesis faces problems such as high energy consumption, low yield and environmental pollution. Biosynthesis is considered to be the most promising production method in the 21st century because of its advantages such as low cost, high yield and green environmental protection.

[0222] Example 5. Production of p-coumaric acid by fed-batch fermentation of strain jz106

All 100 ml of seed solution is transferred to 2 L of fermentation medium, where the components of the fermentation medium are: 20 g / L glucose, 10 g / L yeast extract, 20 g / L peptone, 12 ml / L vitamins, and 10 ml / L trace metal salts. The components of the trace metal salt solution are: 5.75g / L ZnSO4*7H2O, 0.32g / L MnCI2, 0.32g / L CuSO4, 0.47g / L CoCl2, 0.48g / L Na2MoO4, 2.9g / L CaCl2·2H2O, 2.8g / L FeSO4*7H2O, 0.5M EDTA. The components of the vitamin solution are: 0.05g / L biotin, 1g / L calcium pantothenate, 1g / L niacin, 25g / L inositol, 1g / L thiamine hydrochloride, 1g / L pyridoxal phosphate, 0.2g / L p-aminobenzoic acid.

[0225] The batch fermentation temperature was 30°C, and ammonia was used to control the pH to 5.5. The feed medium contained 800 g / L glucose. The feed medium was added during the fermentation process to control the glucose concentration of the fermentation broth to be less than 0.1 g / L. The production of products was detected during the fermentation process. Finally, the jz106 strain fermented and produced 29.4 g / L of p-coumaric acid. Figure 3 As shown, it is the highest level reported for the de novo synthesis of p-coumaric acid.
