The invention provides a
saccharomyces cerevisiae
engineering strain HYB05 capable of releasing
astaxanthin in a controllable self-splitting manner. The
saccharomyces cerevisiae
engineering strain HYB05 is constructed by taking a basic strain for producing
astaxanthin as a starting strain, introducing a coding sequence comprising
cell wall
lyase Lyc, a coding sequence of a
signal peptide mutant F8A and a recombinant
nucleic acid construct for expressing a regulatory element, and knocking out an SSD1
gene to relieve a translation inhibition effect. The
cell wall
lyase Lyc is found and disclosed by the inventor for the first time, and the
amino acid sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO: 6; the
amino acid sequence of the
signal peptide mutant F8A is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 8. According to the
engineering strain HYB05, by introducing the recombinant
nucleic acid construct, the activation of the catalytic activity of
cell wall
lyase under specific conditions is realized, so that the
cell wall of the
saccharomyces cerevisiae is broken, and the
astaxanthin synthesized by the
saccharomyces cerevisiae is released. Compared with the prior art, the astaxanthin is produced through
fermentation of the strain, the extraction steps are simplified, extraction of the astaxanthin in the
yeast is achieved to the maximum extent, the yield of the astaxanthin is remarkably increased, and the technical effect is remarkable.
