This invention relates to an antibiotic-
label-free, induced, salt-tolerant
Rhodotorula globulinii engineered strain and its applications, belonging to the field of microbial technology. Wild
Rhodotorula globulinii is a dominant species for
wastewater biological treatment, but natural strains grow extremely slowly at salt concentrations exceeding 3%, significantly inhibiting their ability to degrade pollutants. The induced, salt-tolerant
Rhodotorula globulinii engineered strain constructed in this invention, after
lactose induction, significantly improves the treatment capacity of
ammonia nitrogen,
phosphate, and acetate in 3%–5% high-salt
wastewater compared to wild strains and constitutive overexpression engineered strains. This provides
technical support for the application of Rhodotorula globulinii in coastal industrial
wastewater purification,
saline-alkali land ecological restoration, and
seawater recycling, significantly enhancing the competitiveness of Rhodotorula globulinii in low-cost
seawater cultivation, high-salt wastewater treatment, and
biomanufacturing in special environments.
