The invention discloses a
saccharomyces cerevisiae
engineering strain for reducing accumulation of
naringenin and
phloretin and efficiently producing
phloretin and application of the
saccharomyces cerevisiae
engineering strain, and belongs to the technical field of
microbial genetic engineering. According to the invention, the
naringenin chalcone reductase gene MdNCR from apples is expressed in
saccharomyces cerevisiae for the first time, and a new way for directly synthesizing
phloretin from
naringenin chalcone is constructed, so that the phloretin yield of the strain is increased by over 300% compared with that of Y22, the naringenin accumulation is reduced by more than 85%, and the problem of carbon metabolic flux
shunting is effectively solved; 4-coumaroyl
coenzyme A ligase and
chalcone synthase are synergistically optimized aiming at a large amount of accumulation of the phloreic acid after introduction of an exogenous
PAL pathway, and a'phloreic acid
recovery cycle 'is constructed to re-introduce the phloreic acid into a synthesis main pathway; finally, the phloretin content of the engineering strain Y2226 is reduced to 22.3 mg / L, the phloretin yield is increased to 110.7 mg / L, and a solution is provided for accumulation of phloretin by-products synthesized by microorganisms.
