Abstract
Gastrodin, the principal bioactive component of the renowned herb Gastrodia elata, is extensively utilized in medicinal drugs and nutraceuticals. This study seeks to enhance microbial production of gastrodin through high-throughput screening (HTS) and transcriptomics-guided optimization. Initially, atmospheric pressure and room temperature plasma (ARTP)-mediated mutagenesis were employed to develop a library of mutant strains. Furthermore, a transcription factor-based biosensor and a high-throughput solid-phase extraction mass spectrometry (HP-SPE-MS) were evaluated to establish an HTS method for gastrodin. Consequently, mutant strain MT8 was isolated, producing 9.8 g/L of gastrodin in YPD medium, which represents a 55.6% increase compared to the control strain. Next, key genes identified via transcriptomics were overexpressed in strain MT8, with the overexpression of gene YALI2E01737g, a gene involved in the synthesis of aromatic amino acids, significantly enhancing gastrodin production to reach 10.1 g/L. In addition, fermentation process optimization further improved gastrodin titer up to 13.1 g/L in shaking flasks. This study demonstrated the utility of HTS techniques to enhance gastrodin production and paved the way for its future industrial application.

The editors will consider papers for publication based on novelty, their immediate or future impact on biotechnological processes, and their contribution to the advancement of biochemical engineering science. Submission of papers dealing with routine aspects of bioprocessing, description of established equipment, and routine applications of established methodologies (e.g., control strategies, modeling, experimental methods) is discouraged. Theoretical papers will be judged based on the novelty of the approach and their potential impact, or on their novel capability to predict and elucidate experimental observations.
