[0059] The same method was used to transfer the endogenous squalene biosynthesis pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to obtain HPSC2 (containing tHMGR1 ).

[0060] The obtained positive HPSS1, HPSS2, HPSE1, HPSE2 and HPSC2 yeast transformants were streaked on new SC-Ura deficient medium after elimination of plasmids and cultured in a 30°C incubator for about 2 days.

[0061] (3) Fermentation culture First, an appropriate amount of HPSS1, HPSS2, HPSE1, HPSE2 and HPSC2 yeast transformants were inoculated into 3 mL SC-Ura defective medium and cultured at 30°C and 200 rpm for about 16 h as seed culture medium. An appropriate amount of seed culture medium was inoculated into 50 mL YPD medium to make its initial bacterial OD value about 0.1, and cultured at 30°C and 200 rpm for 7 days; the fermentation product was extracted with n-hexane, and the crude extract was obtained by nitrogen blowing, and the crude extract was re-dissolved in 1 mL methanol.

[0062] (4) Squalene liquid phase detection 1 mL of the fermentation product was taken and centrifuged at high speed and filtered through a 0.22 µm filter membrane, and then detected by high performance liquid chromatography.

[0063] The liquid chromatography analysis instrument was Agilent 1260 high performance liquid chromatography, the chromatographic column was Krmasil 100-5C18 column 5 µm (250×4.6 mm); the total flow rate of the mobile phase was 2 mL / min; the mobile phase was a mixture of 40% methanol and 60% acetonitrile for isocratic elution, and the elution time was 30 min; the detection wavelength was 210 nm, the column temperature was 30 °C, and the sample injection volume was 5 μL. The results are shown in Figure 1 shown.

[0064] 2.3. Experimental results and analysis The total yield of squalene produced by the starting strain CEN.PK2-1D is reported to be 0.34 ± 0.10 mg / L (Reference [1]). Figure 1 As shown in Table 1, squalene was successfully detected in HPSS1, HPSS2, HPSE1, HPSE2 and HPSC2 by HPLC. The total yield of HPSS1 was 9.79 ± 0.93 mg / L, the total yield of HPSS2 was 1241.37 ± 88.02 mg / L, the total yield of HPSE1 was 12.23 ± 3.18 mg / L, the total yield of HPSE2 was 986.31 ± 35.77 mg / L, and the total yield of HPSC2 was 1061.96 ± 113.77 mg / L. The total yield of squalene in HPSS2 was 13.84% higher than that in HCS1 and 16.89% higher than that in HPSC2, indicating that compared with the endogenous squalene synthesis pathway in yeast, Sarocladium oryzae The introduction of the squalene synthesis pathway can significantly increase the total production of squalene and provide a new idea for the industrial production of squalene cell factories.

[0065] The squalene production per unit dry weight of the cells was calculated as follows: total squalene production per 1 ml culture / 1 ml cell dry weight. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0066] Table 1 Total squalene production and squalene production per unit dry weight of HCS1, HPSS2, HPSE2 and HPSC2

[0067] It can be seen from Table 1 that compared with HPSS2, HCS1 and HPSC2, the total yield of squalene in HPSE2 is lower than that of the other three, but the yield of squalene in HPSE2 per unit dry weight of cells is higher than them, which is 318.31±66.14 mg / g cdw. When the technicians in this field increase the cell concentration of HPSE2 by genetic engineering, Stibella The introduction of squalene synthesis pathway in sp. 1056 will also become an important means to increase the production of squalene in yeast.
