This invention discloses a method for constructing an engineered algal strain of high-concentration
sweetness-inducing
protein variants from *
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii* and its applications. First, the
protein coding sequences of the
sweetness-inducing proteins Miraculin and Neoculin are modified and optimized to obtain optimized CrMiraculin and CrNeoculin
gene sequences. These sequences are then cloned into the
expression vector pGM6 to construct a
recombinant expression vector. This
recombinant expression vector is introduced into wild-type *
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii* strains, and the transformed algal strains are selected using a
paromomycin resistance marker carried by the vector. The obtained engineered algal strains can stably inherit and efficiently express the target
sweetness-inducing proteins. The engineered algal strains are then fermented to obtain *
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii* algal
powder rich in CrMiraculin and CrNeoculin sweetness-inducing proteins. Finally, after
protein purification, mixing with acidic substances can induce a
sweet taste, thus demonstrating significant application potential in the food, condiment, or health product fields.
