Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, specifically relating to engineered methanogenic bacteria that produce high levels of squalene, their construction methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Squalene, also known as tricarboxyhexaene (chemical formula C360), is a squalene-3- 30 H 50 Squalene (Squalene) is a polyunsaturated hydrocarbon produced during cholesterol synthesis and other metabolic processes. It contains six isoprene double bonds and belongs to the terpenoid class of compounds. Squalene is a key intermediate in cholesterol synthesis and possesses various physiological functions, including strong antioxidant and anticancer activity. It can inhibit cancer cells, treat leukopenia caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improve hypoxia in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, enhance the body's immunity, and has anti-aging effects. It is widely used in medicine, food, cosmetics, and other fields, serving as a moisturizer in cosmetics and a lubricant in food processing machinery. Market demand remains strong.
[0003] Currently, existing methods for synthesizing squalene are mainly divided into three categories: natural extraction, chemical synthesis, and biosynthesis. Natural extraction is the traditional method, initially extracted from deep-sea shark liver oil, and later expanded to include plant-based raw materials such as deodorized olive oil distillate and deodorized soybean oil distillate. Squalene is obtained through organic solvent extraction and freeze crystallization. However, this method is limited by the availability of raw materials. Deep-sea shark resources are increasingly scarce, and the squalene content in plant-based raw materials is low (often less than 5% of the unsaponifiable matter in vegetable oils). Furthermore, the extraction process requires complex separation and purification steps, resulting in high costs and making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. In addition, deep-sea shark extraction also presents serious ecological protection problems. Since the first successful synthesis of squalene in 1931, chemical synthesis has developed various process routes. Representative methods include synthesis from succinaldehyde via Claisen rearrangement and Wittig reaction, and synthesis from geranylacetone via coupling reaction. However, existing chemical synthesis routes generally suffer from problems such as excessively long routes, harsh reaction conditions (e.g., requiring extremely low temperatures), use of expensive reagents or flammable and explosive raw materials, risks of polymerization explosions, numerous byproducts, and unstable yields, hindering industrial-scale production. Some processes also generate environmental pollution. Biosynthesis has become a research hotspot in recent years. Its core is the conversion of acetyl-CoA into squalene through enzymatic reactions. It is mainly divided into the mevalonate pathway (MVA pathway, primarily in eukaryotes) and the methyl erythritol phosphate pathway (MEP pathway, primarily in prokaryotes). Squalene yield can be increased by modifying microbial strains and optimizing enzyme activity. However, this method faces bottlenecks such as limited enzyme sources, difficulty in regulating strain metabolism, low synergistic efficiency, and difficulty in industrialization, and has not yet achieved large-scale industrial application.
[0004] Methane (CH4) is a colorless, odorless, and flammable gas. It is a major component of natural gas, biogas, and pit gas, and is abundant in nature. It is an inexpensive and widely available renewable carbon source, as well as an important chemical raw material and fuel. It can be used to produce various chemical products such as acetylene, hydrogen, and syngas, and has wide applications in the chemical and energy sectors. Furthermore, methane emissions exacerbate the greenhouse effect; its rational utilization can not only reduce environmental pollution risks but also achieve efficient resource conversion, possessing significant economic value and environmental significance.
[0005] Based on the resource advantages of methane and the market demand for squalene, researchers have developed methods for preparing squalene from methane in recent years. Currently, the mainstream technology is the metabolic engineering of methanogenic bacteria, using type I methanogenic bacteria such as *Methylmonas DH-1* as host strains. This method leverages the inherent MEP pathway and hopane pathway of these bacteria to naturally synthesize squalene, and through genome engineering, constructs highly efficient engineered strains to achieve the conversion of methane to squalene. However, this method still faces the following problems: 1) Low yield. When producing squalene using this method, due to the existence of a diversion pathway in the methanogenic bacteria's MEP pathway, only a small portion of the carbon flux reaches squalene, and a large amount of byproducts are produced, resulting in carbon loss; 2) Stringent production requirements. The MEP pathway for squalene synthesis involves eight different enzymes, and each synthesized squalene molecule requires 18 NADPH molecules, posing challenges to the supply of carbon flux and reducing equivalent. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the carbon yield and productivity of long-chain terpenoids in methane and to develop corresponding high-yield fermentation processes. Summary of the Invention

After that, the bacterial cells were cultured in liquid inorganic salt at 25-30℃, centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded. The bacterial cell pellet was spread on solid inorganic salt medium plates containing bleomycin and cultured at 25-30℃ for 4-7 days to obtain the engineered methanogenic bacteria IZDA.

[0034] This invention provides a method for producing squalene, comprising the following steps: (1) Activation of engineered bacteria: The engineered methanogenic bacteria that produce high squalene constructed by the above method were inoculated onto a solid inorganic salt culture medium and cultured statically at 25-30℃ for 4-5 days to obtain activated test colonies; (2) Seed culture: The activated test colonies from step (1) were inoculated into an injection bottle containing 50 mL of liquid inorganic salt medium and cultured at 25~30℃ and 200 rpm for 48 h. During this period, the upper air was replaced every 24 h and 10 vol%~30 vol% methane was added to obtain the seed culture solution. (3) The seed culture obtained in step (2) is inoculated into a liquid inorganic salt culture medium with a pH of 8.5~9.5 and fermented for 25~30℃. The dissolved oxygen is controlled above 20. At the same time, 10%~20% of the volume of the liquid inorganic salt culture medium is added with n-dodecane and methane is introduced. Fermentation culture is carried out for 144 h.
