Engineering oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides for production of alkanes and alkenes
Due to limited reserves and excessive carbon emission of fossil fuels, there has been an increasing interest in developing advanced biofuels with high energy density such as alkanes and alkenes. Here we report the design and construction of three heterologous biosynthetic pathways of alkanes and alkenes in oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides, including the AAR/ADO, UndA/UndB and FAP pathways. The performance of various enzymes from different organisms was evaluated within R. toruloides for each pathway. Various metabolic engineering strategies were used to enhance the production of alkanes and alkenes across all three pathways, including enzyme screening, byproduct elimination, and precursor supply enhancement. Notably, the FAP pathway demonstrated significantly superior performance compared to the AAR/ADO and UndA/UndB pathway. As a result, 1.73 g/L alkanes and alkenes were produced from glucose, and 0.94 g/L alkanes and alkenes were produced from lignocellulosic hydrolysates, representing the highest alkanes and alkenes titers reported in yeast. This work establishes R. toruloides as a promising host for hydrocarbons production from glucose and CO2-neutral feedstocks and paves the way for further strain and process optimization towards industrial production of alkanes and alkenes.
期刊介绍:
Metabolic Engineering (MBE) is a journal that focuses on publishing original research papers on the directed modulation of metabolic pathways for metabolite overproduction or the enhancement of cellular properties. It welcomes papers that describe the engineering of native pathways and the synthesis of heterologous pathways to convert microorganisms into microbial cell factories. The journal covers experimental, computational, and modeling approaches for understanding metabolic pathways and manipulating them through genetic, media, or environmental means. Effective exploration of metabolic pathways necessitates the use of molecular biology and biochemistry methods, as well as engineering techniques for modeling and data analysis. MBE serves as a platform for interdisciplinary research in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, applied microbiology, cellular physiology, cellular nutrition in health and disease, and biochemical engineering. The journal publishes various types of papers, including original research papers and review papers. It is indexed and abstracted in databases such as Scopus, Embase, EMBiology, Current Contents - Life Sciences and Clinical Medicine, Science Citation Index, PubMed/Medline, CAS and Biotechnology Citation Index.
