The invention discloses a
cell factory for efficiently producing
squalene, which is characterized in that a
squalene engineering strain SquMC13 with'
cytoplasm-mitochondria 'dual regulation and control in a laboratory is taken as an original strain, a plurality of modification strategies associated with relieving Crab tree are tried, and a plurality of
saccharomyces cerevisiae
gene engineering strains are screened from the original strain and comprise
saccharomyces cerevisiae
gene engineering strains C12, C15, C34, C41 and C46; wherein the
squalene production capacity of the
saccharomyces cerevisiae
genetic engineering strain C46 is most prominent, and the squalene yield fermented by a 5-
liter bioreactor is up to 57.21 g / L. According to the
gene modification disclosed by the invention, the
carbon flow is promoted to enter a
respiratory chain and TCA circulation, and meanwhile, the
metabolism steady state of cells is effectively improved by means of mitochondrial function enhancement,
cell robustness improvement and the like, so that a new technical approach is provided for realizing efficient production of squalene under industrial conditions.
