AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the cost of producing DHA oil from Schizochytrium is high, mainly because the cost of carbon sources accounts for 60% of the total fermentation cost. Traditional carbon sources such as hemp hydrolysate and crude glycerol have problems such as complicated pretreatment, unstable sources, low concentration, and difficult analysis, making it difficult to completely replace glucose. Moreover, carbon dioxide emissions contribute to climate change.
A recombinant Schizochytrium was constructed, and optimized FDH, FK, FPR, and Ti encoding genes were introduced into the Schizochytrium. DHA lipids were produced using carbon dioxide as a carbon source. The gene homologous recombination technology was used to insert the gene into the pBS-Zeo plasmid, and an overexpression vector was constructed and electroporated into the Schizochytrium to achieve efficient CO2 utilization for DHA lipid production.
It reduces the production cost of DHA lipids, improves economic efficiency, achieves "carbon neutrality", increases DHA lipid production capacity, saves time costs, and reduces dependence on traditional carbon sources.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a recombinant Schizochytrium sp. for producing DHA lipid from carbon dioxide, a construction method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), arachidonic acid (ARA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are commonly found in deep-sea fish, seal oil, and certain plants. They are a class of indispensable unsaturated fatty acids that play an important role in human health. In recent years, deep-sea fish have become the main source for humans to obtain oil containing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, fish oil production and quality are easily affected by environmental seasons, and it has fishy smell, is easily oxidized and contaminated, and has high processing cost. Chemical synthesis method has the problems of complicated synthesis steps, low yield, and serious environmental pollution. Therefore, it is of great significance to further develop strategies for rapid and stable production of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid oil.
[0003] Schizochytrium sp. is a heterotrophic and lipid-rich marine organism with great potential for producing lipid compounds. Schizochytrium sp. can accumulate oil accounting for nearly 70% of its biomass, and is considered to be the most suitable microorganism for industrial production of DHA oil. Therefore, strategies for regulating long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid oil production through Schizochytrium sp. fermentation have been widely applied in the industrial fermentation process of functional oil.
[0004] Currently, there are many reports on Schizochytrium sp. producing DHA oil. For example, Chinese patent publication CN101979623A can promote Schizochytrium sp. to synthesize DHA by adding one or more combinations of exogenous regulators such as acetic acid, citric acid, and simvastatin, so that the final yield of DHA in Schizochytrium sp. is increased from 35.51% to 45%. Chinese patent publication CN117946875A obtains Schizochytrium sp. TKD-2212 strain through screening, mutagenesis, and breeding from natural environment, and produces algal oil with DHA content of 40-65% through batch feeding fermentation, wherein the proportion of DHA at sn-2 position is only 35-50%. Chinese patent publication CN114703238A solves the problem of low production efficiency of Schizochytrium sp. in co-utilizing glucose and glycerol by controlling the addition time of carbon source glycerol, and the DHA content in oil reaches 46.28%. Chinese patent publication CN117844646A provides a Schizochytrium sp. HSc-01 with high DHA yield, which is fermented in a fermenter, and the measured DHA proportion in the fermentation broth is as high as 60.2%, but the oil yield is only 42 g / L.
[0005] However, it cannot be ignored that the cost of large-scale industrial fermentation production of DHA oil is still high, mainly due to the cost of carbon source, which accounts for about 80% of the substrate cost and 60% of the total fermentation cost. At present, many studies are devoted to the development of cost-effective fermentation carbon sources, including hemp hydrolysate, crude glycerol, lignocellulose hydrolysate, coconut water, waste acid oil and dioscorea zingiberensis saponin hydrolysate, etc. (Bao, Z., Zhu, Y., Zhang, K., Feng, Y., Chen, X., Lei, M., Yu, L., 2021. High-value utilization of the waste hydrolysate of Dioscorea zingiberensis for docosahexaenoic acid production in Schizochytrium sp. Bioresour.

Fed-batch fermentation of mixed carbon source significantly enhances theproduction of docosahexaenoic acid in Thraustochytriidae sp. PKU#Mn16 bydifferentially regulating fatty acids biosynthetic pathways. Bioresour.Technol. 2020, 297, 122402). Although these strategies successfully reduced the fermentation cost of S. limacinum and contributed to the development of circular economy, these carbon sources cannot completely replace glucose for microbial fermentation due to the limitations of complex pretreatment, unstable source, low concentration, and difficult analysis.
[0006] In the past 40,000 years, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has been stable at 200-280 µL / L. However, with the rapid increase in the use of petrochemical fuels, the concentration of CO2 has increased to 414 µL / L in the past 50 years, which will lead to about 24% of plant and animal extinction in the future. Therefore, in addition to controlling CO2 emissions, it is also necessary to remove CO2 from the atmosphere to mitigate the devastating effects of climate change.
[0007] Therefore, constructing a Schizochytrium sp. that can efficiently and rapidly utilize CO2 to produce DHA lipids not only reduces the production cost of DHA lipids and improves the economic efficiency of DHA lipid production, but also consumes CO2, making a contribution to the ecological environment and achieving the goal of "carbon neutrality".

[0072] The schematic diagram of the overexpression plasmid is shown in Figure 2 .
[0073] Example 2. Schizochytrium sp. Fermentor Scale-up Test 1. The specific fermentation steps of Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 and the engineered strain CD are as follows: (1) The Schizochytrium sp. culture plate was inoculated from the frozen tube, and after 72 h of incubation in a 28°C incubator, it was ready for use, and a single colony was selected; (2) The single colony was inoculated into a test tube (test tube 1 generation) (5 mL of seed culture solution, without pH adjustment), and incubated at 28°C and 230 rpm for 48 h; (3) The 1% inoculum was inoculated into a 250 mL baffle shake flask (50 mL of seed culture solution, without pH adjustment), and incubated at 28°C and 170 rpm for 24 h (shake flask 2 generation). At 24 h, the OD600 was > 3 and no contamination was observed under a microscope, and the next generation could be inoculated; (4) The 1% inoculum was inoculated into a 1000 mL baffle shake flask (200 mL of seed culture solution, without pH adjustment), and incubated at 28°C and 170 rpm for 24 h (shake flask 3 generation). At 24 h, the OD600 was > 5 and no contamination was observed under a microscope, and the next generation could be inoculated; (5) The 2% inoculum was inoculated into a 50 L seed tank (total of 40 L of seed culture solution), and incubated at 28°C, 150 rpm, and 20 L / min for 24 h (tank 1 generation). At 20 h, the OD600 was > 8 and no contamination was observed under a microscope, and the next generation could be inoculated; (6) The 2% inoculum was inoculated into a 5000 L fermenter (total of 2000 L of fermentation culture solution), and fermentation was started at 28°C, 100 rpm, and 15 m 3 / h, and the rotation speed was controlled, with a maximum rotation speed of 300 rpm and a constant aeration of 15 m 3 / h.
[0074] (7) Glucose and sodium glutamate detection: every 12 hours, 1 mL of fermentation broth was taken, centrifuged at 12000 rpm, and the supernatant was gradient diluted to 100 times. The diluted solution was centrifuged, and detected by a biological sensor SBA-40ES. Glucose and sodium glutamate were detected by different enzyme membranes, and the standard solution was calibrated in advance.
[0075] 2. The lipid was extracted from the collected bacterial cells, including the following steps: (1) After the fermentation broth after the end of the fermentation culture, add NaOH solution to adjust pH 10-13, add 0.01-0.2% commercial commercial Schizochytrium break wall enzyme, 40~60℃, 100~200r / min oscillation 5~15h; (2) Cool to room temperature, add anhydrous ethanol to inactivate the fermentation broth; (3) Add n-hexane to extract lipids: After extraction, the organic phase was allowed to stand for 5h, and after the upper and lower layers were clearly separated, the upper organic phase was collected. The upper organic phase was taken out and placed in a rotary evaporation flask, which was rotated at 45℃ water bath and 120 r / min. After the organic phase was no longer evaporated, the rotary evaporation flask was removed and dried in a 60℃ oven until the weight no longer changed. The lipid was weighed.
[0076] (4) Gas phase detection analysis of fatty acids, the specific procedure is as follows: Take 20 μL oil, i.e. lipid, and add it to an EP tube containing 1 ml 1M potassium hydroxide-methanol solution, and oscillate at 20℃ and 1000 r / min for 6h. Add 50 μL concentrated sulfuric acid to terminate the reaction, and add 1 ml n-hexane to extract the lipids at 20℃ and 1000 r / min for 0.5h. The extracted phase is loaded into a liquid phase vial for gas phase detection. GC-2010 (Shimadzu, Japan) gas phase system is used for analysis, equipped with DB-23 capillary column (60 m 0.22 mm) and flame ionization detector (FID). Nitrogen is used as the carrier gas. The injection volume is 1 μL, and the injection temperature is 250℃. The column temperature is raised from 100℃ to 200℃ at a rate of 25℃ / min, and then raised to 230℃ at a rate of 4℃ / min, and maintained for 9 min, and the FID detector temperature is 280℃. Different fatty acid compositions are identified by comparison with sigma standard (related external standard, Sigma, USA). Non-endogenous fatty acid (C19:0) is used as an internal standard, and the content of individual fatty acid is calculated from the peak area on the chromatogram.
[0077] The results of the lipid Figure 3 As shown in the table, after fermentation, the Schizochytrium HX-308 strain obtained 48.2g / L of lipid, while the Schizochytrium CD strain obtained 62.5g / L of lipid, which was 29.7% higher than the Schizochytrium HX-308 strain. The results of the lipid production are shown in the table Figure 4As shown, the lipid yield of Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain is 0.188 g / g glucose, while the lipid yield of Schizochytrium sp. CD strain is 0.285 g / g glucose, which is increased by 51.6% compared with Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain. This is because Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain can only rely on glucose as a carbon source to produce lipids, and only 18.8% of the carbon flow is directed to lipid synthesis, and 81.2% of the carbon flow is used for the synthesis of other biomass and respiration to generate CO2 loss. While Schizochytrium sp. CD strain can convert CO2 into acetyl-CoA, which is then used for lipid synthesis. Therefore, up to 28.5% of the carbon flow of Schizochytrium sp. CD strain is directed to lipid synthesis, and only 71.5% of the carbon flow is used for the synthesis of other biomass and respiration to generate CO2 loss. Table 3 shows that the DHA content in the lipids produced by Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain is 47.8%, while the DHA content in the lipids produced by Schizochytrium sp. CD strain is 51.4%. Not only that, the C14:0 and C16:0 content in the lipids produced by Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain is 10.8% and 18.7%, while the C14:0 and C16:0 content in the lipids produced by Schizochytrium sp. CD strain is 8.6% and 18.1%, indicating that the lipids produced by Schizochytrium sp. CD strain have lower saturated fatty acid content and higher quality. In addition, the EPA and DPA content in the lipids produced by Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain is 1.1% and 16.3%, while the EPA and DPA content in the lipids produced by Schizochytrium sp. CD strain is 1.5% and 16.7%, indicating that the lipids produced by Schizochytrium sp. CD strain have higher polyunsaturated fatty acid content and higher quality.
[0078] Table 3 Comparison of fatty acid profiles of Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain and CD strain
[0079] In fact, the current market price of 1 ton of glucose is about 4000 yuan, and the normal carbon source cost of producing 1 ton of DHA lipid by Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain is about 21300 yuan, while the carbon source cost of producing 1 ton of DHA lipid by Schizochytrium sp. CD strain is only about 14000 yuan, which is decreased by 65.8% compared with Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain. Not only that, the lipid productivity of Schizochytrium sp. CD strain is 62.5 g / L, which is increased by 29.7% compared with Schizochytrium sp. HX-308 strain. The use of Schizochytrium sp. CD strain to produce DHA lipid can greatly save time cost. Most importantly, the use of Schizochytrium sp. CD strain to produce DHA lipid can use CO2 as a carbon source, which can contribute to the ecological environment and achieve the goal of "carbon neutralization".
[0080] Chinese patent publication CN101979623A can promote the synthesis of DHA in Schizochytrium by adding one or more combinations of exogenous regulatory factors such as acetic acid, citric acid and simvastatin, so that the final yield of DHA in Schizochytrium is increased from the initial 35.51% to 45%. Chinese patent publication CN114703238A solves the problem of low production efficiency of Schizochytrium by controlling the addition time of carbon source glycerol, and the DHA content in oil reaches 46.28%. Chinese patent publication CN117844646A provides a Schizochytrium HSc-01 with high DHA yield, which is fermented in a fermenter, and the DHA proportion in the fermentation broth is as high as 60.2%, but the oil yield is only 42 g / L. However, it cannot be ignored that the cost of large-scale industrial fermentation of DHA oil is still high, mainly due to the cost of carbon source, which accounts for about 80% of the substrate cost and 60% of the total fermentation cost. At present, many studies are devoted to the development of cost-effective fermentation carbon sources, including hemp hydrolysate, crude glycerol, lignocellulose hydrolysate, coconut water, waste acid oil and dioscorea zingiberensis saponin hydrolysate (Bao, Z., Zhu, Y., Zhang, K., Feng, Y., Chen, X., Lei, M., Yu, L., 2021. High-value utilization of the waste hydrolysate of Dioscorea zingiberensis for docosahexaenoic acid production in Schizochytrium sp. Bioresour. Technol. 2021, 336, 125305; Gupta, A., Abraham, R.E., Barrow, C.J., Puri, M., 2015.

Technol. 2015, 184, 373-378; Gupta, A., Barrow, C.J., Puri, M., 2021. Multiproduct biorefinery from marine thraustochytrids towards a circular bioeconomy. Trends Biotechnol.2021, 40(4), 448-462; 221-226; Qi, F., Zhang, M., Chen, Y., Jiang, X., Lin, J., Cao, X., Huang, J., 2017. Alignocellulosic hydrolysate-tolerant Aurantiochytrium sp. mutant strain for docosahexaenoic acid production. Bioresour. Technol. 2017, 227, 221-226; Ye, H., He, Y., Xie, Y., Sen, B., Wang, G., 2020. Fed-batch fermentation of mixed carbon source significantly enhances the production of docosahexaenoic acid in Thraustochytriidae sp. PKU#Mn16 by differentially regulating fatty acids biosynthetic pathways. Bioresour. Technol. 2020, 297, 122402). Although these strategies successfully reduced the fermentation cost of S. limacinum and contributed to the development of circular economy, these carbon sources could not completely replace glucose for microbial fermentation due to the limitations of complex pretreatment, unstable source, low concentration, and difficult analysis.
[0081] Therefore, the Schizochytrium constructed by the present application can not only reduce the production cost of DHA lipid and improve the economic efficiency of DHA lipid production, but also consume CO2 to contribute to the ecological environment and achieve the goal of "carbon neutralization".
