Abstract
Traditional industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not metabolize xylose due to the lack of a specific enzyme system for the reaction from xylose to xylulose. This study aims to metabolically remould industrial S. cerevisiae for the purpose of utilizing both glucose and xylose with high efficiency. Heterologous gene xylA from Piromyces and homologous genes related to xylose utilization were selected to construct expression cassettes and integrated into genome. The engineered strain was domesticated with industrial material under optimizing conditions subsequently to further improve xylose utilization rates. The resulting S. cerevisiae strain ABX0928-0630 exhibits a rapid growth rate and possesses near 100% xylose utilization efficiency to produce ethanol with industrial material. Pilot-scale fermentation indicated the predominant feature of ABX0928-0630 for industrial application, with ethanol yield of 0.48 g/g sugars after 48 hours and volumetric xylose consumption rate of 0.87 g/l/h during the first 24 hours. Transcriptome analysis during the modification and domestication process revealed a significant increase in the expression level of pathways associated with sugar metabolism and sugar sensing. Meanwhile, genes related to glycerol lipid metabolism exhibited a pattern of initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease, providing a valuable reference for the construction of efficient xylose-fermenting strains.
期刊介绍:
FEMS Yeast Research offers efficient publication of high-quality original Research Articles, Mini-reviews, Letters to the Editor, Perspectives and Commentaries that express current opinions. The journal will select for publication only those manuscripts deemed to be of major relevance to the field and generally will not consider articles that are largely descriptive without insights on underlying mechanism or biology. Submissions on any yeast species are welcome provided they report results within the scope outlined below and are of significance to the yeast field.
