The invention provides
yarrowia lipolytica for producing 7-dehydrocholesterol as well as a construction method and application of the
yarrowia lipolytica, and relates to the technical field of microorganisms. In order to solve the problem that the yield of 7-dehydrocholesterol produced by using
yarrowia lipolytica in the prior art is low, a
genome of the yarrowia lipolytica is modified, 24-dehydrocholesterol
reductase from chicken is expressed, a
mevalonic acid pathway and a
sterol pathway are strengthened, and the yield of 7-dehydrocholesterol is increased. The
Yarrowia lipolytica strain has the advantages that the
Yarrowia lipolytica strain is transformed, the possible influence on the growth of the strain is solved while a by-product way is knocked out, the
shake flask yield of the transformed
Yarrowia lipolytica is 340.7 mg / L, the amplified production yield of a 5L
fermentation tank reaches 1.4 g / L, the yield is greatly increased, a new thought is provided for transforming Yarrowia lipolytica by
metabolic engineering, the construction method is simple, the
metabolic pathway is clear, and the Yarrowia lipolytica strain is suitable for industrial production. The method has a good application prospect and is beneficial to promoting industrial production of 7-dehydrocholesterol.
