This study successfully developed an efficient platform strain using Yarrowia lipolytica for the bioconversion of renewable resources into adipic acid, achieving a remarkable increase in production level.
There is an increasing demand for bio-based dicarboxylic acids (DCA) as an eco-friendly alternatives to chemically synthesized DCA. Adipic acid, which is not naturally produced by microorganisms, is an essential DCA with significant industrial importance. This study aimed to develop a platform strain using Yarrowia lipolytica for efficient bioconversion of renewable resources into adipic acid. To prevent the complete oxidation of adipic acid, peroxisomal beta-oxidation was engineered by selectively disrupting acyl-CoA oxidases. Furthermore, to-oxidation activity was improved via introducing an additional copy of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (ALK5) and reductase (CPR1) with fatty alcohol oxidase (FAO1). The production phase used SP92D medium in a two-stage bioconversion process, during which the engineered strain exhibited the highest production level, achieving a remarkable 9.7-fold increase compared to that of the parental strain. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating that engineered Y. lipolytica can produce adipic acid from fatty acid methyl esters.
