Abstract:

Microbial-derived fatty acids and their derivatives are widely used in the fields of energy, materials and nutritional chemicals, and can be used to produce aviation fuels, polymers, plasticizers, lubricants and food additives. Yarrowia lipolytica is one of the well-studied oleaginous yeasts, which has the potential of producing various fatty acids and their derivatives. In this paper, the development of genetic manipulation tools of Yarrowia lipolytica is firstly summarized, and the progress of engineering Yarrowia lipolytica to produce fatty acids and their derivatives using the metabolic engineering and the emerging synthetic biology tools is then reviewed. Finally, the trends of constructing Yarrowia lipolytica cell factory to produce these products are prospected.

Key words: Yarrowia lipolytica, fatty acid, cell factory, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, biotechnology

摘要:

微生物来源的脂肪酸及其衍生物广泛应用于能源、材料和营养化学品等领域,可用于生产航空燃油、聚合物、增塑剂、润滑剂和食品添加剂等。解脂耶氏酵母是一种研究最为透彻的产油脂酵母,具有高产各种脂肪酸及其衍生物的潜力。本文综述了近年来解脂耶氏酵母遗传操作工具的发展,并介绍了通过代谢工程技术改造解脂耶氏酵母生产脂肪酸及其衍生物的进展,在此基础上,展望了通过构建解脂耶氏酵母细胞工厂合成特定脂肪酸及其衍生物的未来发展方向。
