Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bioengineering technology, and in particular to a recombinant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that improves vanillin tolerance and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] Vanillin, a high-value flavoring agent, has a global annual demand exceeding 29 million tons. Breakthroughs in its biosynthesis technology are of great significance for mitigating the environmental pollution caused by chemical synthesis methods (approximately 5 tons of wastewater are generated per ton of product) and replacing high-cost natural extraction processes (costing approximately $3,000-$4,000 per kilogram). Currently, the key technological bottleneck in the microbial synthesis of vanillin is the inhibition of product toxicity. When the vanillin concentration exceeds 500 mg / L, it severely hinders the growth of brewing yeast (Mo, Q. & Yuan, J. Minimal aromatic aldehyde reduction (MARE) yeast platform for engineering vanillin production. BiotechnolBiofuels Bioprod. 2024, 17, 4). Although previous studies have shown that the glycosylation of vanillin can be achieved by introducing the glycosyltransferase UGT72B1, catalyzing the conversion of vanillin into non-toxic glucvanillin, this strategy requires an additional separation step (Xin, X. et al. Redesigned Pathway for De Novo Synthesis of Vanillin and Co-conversion of Multiple Renewable Substrates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. JacsAu. 2025, 5, 1133-114).

[0095] In summary, the technical solution of this invention breaks through the traditional approach of metabolic engineering modification, and innovatively knocks out genes in the DNA mismatch repair system (…). MSH1 , MSH2 , MSH3 , MSH4 , MSH5 , MSH6 , MLH1 , MLH2 , MLH3 , PMS1 This improved the adaptive evolutionary ability of the strains and screened for mutants with significantly enhanced tolerance. Among them, Saccharomyces cerevisiae RARE12 ( ΔMLH1 The modified strain under 1.3 g / L vanillin stress had an OD of 600 The highest value reached 1.0, while the control group could not grow. Using this domestication method, the brewer's yeast RARE12 ( ΔMLH1 It can tolerate vanillin concentrations up to 1.7 g / L. This method can overcome the yield problem caused by vanillin toxicity and lay an effective foundation for the biosynthesis of high-concentration vanillin.

[0096] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
