Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a recombinant strain that produces high levels of perillaldehyde, its construction method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Sclareol (English name: Sclareol, molecular formula: C) 20 H 36 O2, chemically named (1R,2R,8aS)-decahydro-1-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-pentenyl)-2,5,5,8a-tetramethyl-2-naphthol, is a hemispherane-type diterpenol compound. It is a white crystalline powder at room temperature with a faint ambergris odor and exhibits good stability in alkaline environments. In nature, sagerol is mainly found in Salvia sclarea (Southern European ginseng).

[0003] As an important plant-derived fragrance and flavoring agent, perillyl alcohol is a key raw material for the synthesis of ambergris substitute, ambroxol. Furthermore, it possesses various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anticancer, and choleretic properties, thus finding wide application in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, demonstrating high industrial value and application potential.

[0004] Currently, the industrial extraction of perillaldehyde mainly employs steam distillation and extraction methods from the flowers and leaves of *Salvia miltiorrhiza*, a Lamiaceae herb native to Southern Europe. However, *Salvia miltiorrhiza*, the main plant source of perillaldehyde, contains relatively low levels of the plant itself. This results in a large demand for raw materials when using plant extraction methods, easily leading to a waste of plant resources. Furthermore, *Salvia miltiorrhiza* has a long growth cycle, and its growth is easily affected by external factors such as geographical environment and climate change, resulting in poor stability. Moreover, the complex chemical composition within the plant makes it difficult to obtain pure perillaldehyde products using existing extraction and separation methods, leading to problems such as high cost, low yield, and insufficient purity.

[0005] In contrast, microbial fermentation technology offers advantages such as a short growth cycle, the ability to operate around the clock, and stable yields, better meeting the growing market demand. Yarrowia lipolytica, an oil-producing yeast, is a highly promising production host due to its ability to utilize various inexpensive carbon sources such as glucose, fructose, and glycerol, its ample acetyl-CoA library, and its capacity to secrete exogenous proteins. Furthermore, it is generally regarded as a safe (GRAS) microorganism. However, the current yield of perillaldehyde produced by fermentation using recombinant Yarrowia lipolytica remains low and cannot meet the needs of industrial production. Therefore, developing high-yield perillaldehyde-producing genetically engineered Yarrowia lipolytica strains has become an urgent technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0100] Example 3: Experiment on the synthesis of perillol by recombinant lipolytic yeast Y01-05 in shake flasks

[0101] In this embodiment, the ability of each recombinant yeast strain to synthesize perillyl alcohol was evaluated by fermenting the recombinant Yersinia strain Y01-Y05 constructed in Example 2 in shake flasks and detecting the yield and rate of perillyl alcohol in its fermentation products.

[0102] Specifically, after activating each recombinant yeast strain to be tested, their plates were streaked onto YPD solid medium and then cultured at 30℃ for 36 h to obtain single colonies. Several single colonies were picked and inoculated into 5 mL of YPD fermentation medium and cultured for 30 h to obtain a seed culture (OD600 = 6). The seed culture was then inoculated into 50 mL of YPD fermentation medium at an initial inoculation amount of OD600 = 0.5 and fermented at 30℃ and 220 rpm for 12 h. Then, 10% of the fermentation liquid volume of n-dodecane was added, and the culture was continued with shaking for 3 days to obtain the fermentation product.

[0103] Processing of fermentation products: After fermentation, the fermentation broth was transferred to a 50 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 7500 rpm for 8 min, and the uppermost organic phase was collected for later use.

[0104] The fermentation products of each recombinant yeast strain (i.e., the upper organic phase collected above) were diluted 10 times with n-dodecane (as the extractant) for extraction. The resulting dilution was filtered through an oil-based nylon filter membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm. The filtrate was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the content of perillyl alcohol.

[0105] The GC detection conditions were as follows: injection port temperature 250℃, injection volume 1μL, splitless; column: Shimadzu DP-5ms (30m×250μm×0.25μm); chromatographic conditions: initial temperature 60℃, increased to 160℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min, held for 1 min, then increased to 280℃ at a rate of 40℃ / min, held for 4 min. The entire gas chromatographic program lasted 18 min. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed using a standard of perillaldehyde.

[0106] The GC test results are shown in Table 1.

[0107] Table 1. Perillyl alcohol yield of various recombinant yeast strains after 48 h of shake-flask fermentation

[0108] strains Perillyl alcohol yield (mg / L) over 48 hours Po1f 0 Y01 16.3 Y02 32.6 Y03 100.3 Y04 392.6 Y05 1057.3

[0109] As can be seen from Table 1:

[0110] Perillyl alcohol was detected in the shake-flask fermentation products of all recombinant yeast strains, indicating that they could all produce perillyl alcohol during shake-flask fermentation; in contrast, the perillyl alcohol production of the chassis strain Po1f, which served as the substrate for all recombinant yeast strains, was 0 after 48 h of shake-flask fermentation (i.e., below the detection limit).

[0111] Furthermore, among the various recombinant yeast strains, recombinant yeast strain Y05 had the highest yield of sclareol, reaching 1057.3 mg / L (i.e., 1057.3 mg of sclareol per liter of fermentation broth); further calculations showed that the yield of sclareol was 22.0 mg / L / h, which is higher than the highest yield reported so far for shake-flask fermentation (see Chen J. et al. Combinatorial metabolic engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica for high-level production of the plant-derived diterpenoid sclareol. Microbial Cell Factories, 2025, 24(1), with a yield of approximately 18.65 mg / L / h).

[0112] The results in Table 1 show that, in shake-flask fermentation, strain Y05 significantly improved the production capacity of perillaldehyde compared to the chassis yeast Polf, with both yield and productivity greatly increased. This indicates that the multiple-copy expression of the tCcLS fusion protein, along with the overexpression of ERG19, ERG13, ERG12, HMG1, and ERG8 genes in the MVA pathway, can significantly enhance the perillaldehyde production capacity of the lipophilic yeast Polf.

[0113] Example 4: Experiment on the synthesis of perillaldehyde from recombinant lipolytic yeast Y01-05 in a small-scale 7L fermenter

[0114] In this embodiment, the ability of each recombinant yeast strain to synthesize sagerol was evaluated by fermenting the recombinant Yersinia strain Y01-Y05 constructed in Example 2 in a small-scale 7L fermenter and detecting the yield and productivity of sagerol in the fermentation product.

[0115] The activation of the strain and product detection were the same as in Example 3. For the fermenter, the initial fermentation OD was between 1 and 2. Glucose concentration was measured in real time during fermentation; when the concentration was below 10 g / L, it was maintained at a level not lower than 10 g / L using a fed-batch method. After continuous culture for 240 h, samples were taken to measure the perillaldehyde yield at 240 h of fermentation. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0116] Table 2. Perillyl alcohol yield of various recombinant yeast strains in a 7L fermenter

[0117]

[0118] As shown in Table 2, perillyl alcohol was detected in the fermentation products of all recombinant yeast strains in the small-scale and 240-h fermentation, indicating that they could all produce perillyl alcohol in the small-scale fermentation. In contrast, the perillyl alcohol production of the Po1f strain, which served as the chassis strain for all recombinant yeast strains, was 0 after 48 h of shake-flask fermentation (i.e., below the detection limit).

[0119] Furthermore, among the various recombinant yeast strains, recombinant yeast strain Y05 had the highest yield of sclareol, reaching 19524 mg / L (i.e., 19524 mg of sclareol was produced per liter of fermentation broth); further calculations showed that the yield of sclareol was 81.35 mg / L / h, which is higher than the highest yield reported in small-scale fermentation (see Sun M. et al. Constructing a green oleaginous yeast cell factory for sustainable production of the plant-derived diterpenoid sclareol[J]. Green Chemistry, 2024, 26(9): 5202-5210).

[0120] The results in Table 2 show that, in the small-scale fermentation, strain Y05 significantly improved the production capacity of perillaldehyde compared to the chassis yeast Polf, with both yield and productivity greatly increased. This indicates that the multiple copy expression of the tCcLS fusion protein, along with the overexpression of ERG19, ERG13, ERG12, HMG1, and ERG8 genes in the MVA pathway, can significantly improve the production capacity of perillaldehyde by the lipophilic yeast Polf.

[0121] Example 5: An experiment was conducted to synthesize perillaldehyde in five consecutive batches of recombinant lipolytic yeast Y05 in a 5-ton pilot-scale fermenter, to test the stability of its ability to synthesize perillaldehyde in pilot-scale fermentation.

[0122] In this embodiment, the recombinant Yersinia yeast strain Y05 constructed in Example 2 was fermented in a 5-ton pilot-scale fermenter for five consecutive batches. The yield and productivity of perillaldehyde in each fermentation product were detected to evaluate the stability of the ability of the recombinant Yersinia yeast strain Y05 to synthesize perillaldehyde in pilot-scale fermentation.

[0123] The activation of the strain and product detection were the same as in Example 3. For the fermenter, the initial fermentation OD was between 1 and 2. Glucose concentration was measured in real time during fermentation; when the concentration was below 10 g / L, it was maintained at a level not lower than 10 g / L using a fed-batch method. After continuous culture for 240 h, samples were taken to measure the perillaldehyde yield over 240 h. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0124] Table 3. Yield of perillaldehyde from strain Y05 in 5 batches of 5-ton fermenter

[0125]

[0126] As shown in Table 3, the yield and productivity of recombinant Yersinia yeast strain Y05 showed little fluctuation in the production of perillaldehyde during five consecutive batches fermented for 240 hours in a 5-ton pilot-scale fermenter. The coefficient of variation (CV) of perillaldehyde production among the batches was calculated to be 3.78% (the formula is CV = standard deviation (σ) / arithmetic mean). This indicates that the recombinant yeast strain has a stable and excellent perillaldehyde production capacity at the pilot-scale level and has the potential to expand production scale.
