Data on cellular lipids of Yarrowia lipolytica grown on fatty substrates.

ABSTRACT: Yarrowia lipolytica, which is model oleaginous yeast with high industrial interest, was cultivated on fatty substrates. Data concerning fatty acid composition of both substrate and yeast lipids and comparisons of the experimental data with model predictions presented in "Biomodification of fats and oils and scenarios of adding value on renewable fatty materials through microbial fermentations: Modelling and trials with Yarrowia lipolytica" (Vasiliadou et al., 2018) were provided. Furthermore, the total yeast lipids were fractionated into their main fractions, that is, phospholipids, glucolipids plus sphingolipids and neutral lipids, and the fatty acid composition of each lipid fraction was reported.

Project description:The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has attracted much attention due to its ability to utilize a wide range of substrates to accumulate high lipid content and its flexibility for genetic manipulation. In this study, intracellular lipid metabolism in Y. lipolytica was tailored to produce fatty acid, a renewable oleochemical and precursor for production of advanced biofuels. Two main strategies, including blocking activation and peroxisomal uptake of fatty acids and elimination of biosynthesis of lipids, were employed to reduce fatty acid consumption by the native pathways in Y. lipolytica. Both genetic modifications improved fatty acid production. However, disruption of the genes responsible for assembly of nonpolar lipid molecules including triacylglycerols (TAGs) and steryl esters resulted in the deleterious effects on the cell growth. The gene tesA encoding thioesterase from Escherichia coli was expressed in the strain with disrupted faa genes encoding fatty acyl-CoA synthetases and pxa1 encoding peroxisomal acyl-CoA transporter, and the titer of fatty acids resulted in 2.3 g/L in shake flask culture, representing 11-fold improvement compared with the parent strain. Expressing the native genes encoding acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and hexokinase also increased fatty acid production, although the improvement was not as significant as that with tesA expression. Saturated fatty acids including palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18:0) increased remarkably in the fatty acid composition of the recombinant bearing tesA compared with the parent strain. The recombinant expressing tesA gene resulted in high lipid content, indicating the great fatty acid producing potential of Y. lipolytica. The results highlight the achievement of fatty acid overproduction without adverse effect on growth of the strain. Results of this study provided insight into the relationship between fatty acid and lipid metabolism in Y. lipolytica, confirming the avenue to reprogram lipid metabolism of this host for overproduction of renewable fatty acids.
