Project description:Carotenoids are a large family of health-beneficial compounds that have been widely used in the food and nutraceutical industries. There have been extensive studies to engineer Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the production of carotenoids, which already gained high level. However, it was difficult to discover new targets that were relevant to the accumulation of carotenoids. Herein, a new, ethanol-induced adaptive laboratory evolution was applied to boost carotenoid accumulation in a carotenoid producer BL03-D-4, subsequently, an evolved strain M3 was obtained with a 5.1-fold increase in carotenoid yield. Through whole-genome resequencing and reverse engineering, loss-of-function mutation of phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1) was revealed as the major cause of increased carotenoid yield. Transcriptome analysis was conducted to reveal the potential mechanisms for improved yield, and strengthening of gluconeogenesis and downregulation of cell wall-related genes were observed in M3. This study provided a classic case where the appropriate selective pressure could be employed to improve carotenoid yield using adaptive evolution and elucidated the causal mutation of evolved strain.

Project description:To obtain insight in the genome-wide response of heterologous carotenoid production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have analyzed the transcriptome of S. cerevisiae strains overexpressing carotenogenic genes from the yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. For this purpose, two strains producing different levels of carotenoids were grown in carbon-limited continuous cultures and genome-wide expression was analyzed. The strain producing low carotenoid levels did not exhibit a clear genome-wide transcriptional response, suggesting that low carotenoid levels do not result in cellular stress. Transcriptome analysis of a strain producing high carotenoid levels resulted in specific induction of genes involved in pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR). These genes encode ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporters and major facilitator transporters which are involved in secretion of toxic compounds out of cells. Our results suggest that production of high amounts of carotenoids in S. cerevisiae lead to toxicity and that these cells are prone to secrete carotenoids out of the cell. Indeed, secretion of beta-carotene into sunflower oil was observed upon addition of this hydrophobic solvent to the growth medium. Finally, it was observed that deletion of the ABC transporter pdr10, one of the induced PDR transporters, highly decreased the transformation efficiency of an episomal vector containing carotenogenic genes. The few colored transformants that were obtained had decreased growth rates and lower carotenoid production levels compared to control strains transformed with the same carotenogenic genes. These results indicate that Pdr10 might be specifically involved in carotenoid tolerance in S. cerevisiae strains. Keywords: dose response

Experiment Overall Design: The genome wide transcriptional response of S. cerevisiae cells that heterologously produce carotenoids might provide information concerning the impact of carotenoid production on yeast physiology and might identify bottlenecks relevant for the production of these compounds. DNA microarray experiments have been proven to be a powerful tool to study the genome wide transcriptional response of S. cerevisiae to changes of the physiological state and the environment (for example 3,. Genomics approaches on cells producing heterologous metabolites to study their impact on yeast physiology have not been reported yet for S. cerevisiae. Additionally, most transcriptome studies with S. cerevisiae have been performed with cells grown in shake flasks cultures. The main drawback of shake flask cultivation is that the environment is continuously changing, which may be of high influence on carotenoid production, and interpretation of transcriptome data . Chemostat cultivation offers advantages for studies with DNA microarrays because it enables cultivation of microorganisms under tightly defined environmental conditions. An interlaboratory comparison of transcriptome data obtained in chemostat cultures has indeed demonstrated that the accuracy and reproducibility of this approach are superior to those obtained in previous studies with shake-flask cultures .

Project description:The use of cell factories to convert sugars from lignocellulosic biomass into chemicals in which oleochemicals and food additives, such as carotenoids, play an important role is essential for the shift towards sustainable processes. Rhodotorula toruloides is a yeast that naturally metabolises a wide range of substrates, including lignocellulosic hydrolysates, and converts them into lipids and carotenoids. In this study, xylose, the main component of hemicellulose, was used as the sole substrate for R. toruloides, and a detailed physiology characterisation combined with absolute proteomics and genome-scale metabolic models was carried out to understand the regulation of lipid and carotenoid production. To improve these productions, oxidative stress was induced by hydrogen peroxide and light irradiation and further enhanced by adaptive laboratory evolution. Based on the online measurements of growth and CO2 excretion, three distinct growth phases were identified during batch cultivations. The intracellular flux estimations correlated well with the measured protein levels and demonstrated improved NADPH regeneration and phosphoketolase activity and reduced beta-oxidation, correlating with increasing lipid yields. Light irradiation conditions resulted in 70% higher carotenoid and 40% higher lipid yields. The presence of hydrogen peroxide did not affect the carotenoid yield but culminated in the highest lipid yield of 0.65 ± 0.06 g/gDCW. The adapted strain showed improved fitness and 130% higher carotenoid yield than the parental strain. This work presented a holistic view of xylose conversion into microbial oil and carotenoids by R. toruloides for further cost-effective and renewable production of these molecules.

Project description:Corynebacterium glutamicum shows yellow pigmentation due to biosynthesis of the C50 carotenoid decaprenoxanthin and its glycosides. This bacterium has been engineered for production of various non-native cyclic C40 and C50 carotenoids such as β-carotene, astaxanthin or sarcinaxanthin. In this study, the effect of modulating gene expression more broadly by overexpression of sigma factor genes on carotenoid production by C. glutamicum was characterized. Overexpression of the primary sigma factor gene sigA improved lycopene production by recombinant C. glutamicum up to eight fold. In C. glutamicum wild type, overexpression of sigA led to two fold increased accumulation of the native carotenoid decaprenoxanthin in the stationary growth phase. Under these conditions, genes related to thiamine synthesis and aromatic compound degradation showed increased RNA levels and addition of thiamine and the aromatic iron chelator protocatechuic acid to the culture medium enhanced carotenoid production when sigA was overexpressed. Deletion of the gene for the alternative sigma factor SigB, which is expected to replace SigA in RNA polymerase holoenzymes during transition to the stationary growth phase, also increased carotenoid production. The strategy of sigA overexpression could be successfully transferred to production of the non-native carotenoids β-carotene and bisanhydrobacterioruberin. Production of the latter is the first demonstration that C. glutamicum may accumulate a non-native linear C50 carotenoid instead of the native cyclic C50 carotenoid decaprenoxanthin.

Project description:In this study, a cross species hybridization (CSH) approach was used to evaluate whole transcriptome changes during carotenoid accumulation in the storage root of carrot (Daucus carota). Carotenoids are isoprenoid compounds providing red, yellow and orange color to plants. Previous gene expression analyses of carotenoid accumulation in non-model plant species have primarily used a candidate gene approach. Since global transcriptome analyses require extensive genome sequence, in the absence of these genomic resources an alternate approach uses platforms developed for model plant species. To assess transcriptome patterns associated with carotenoid pigmentation in carrot storage root, two carrot sibling inbred lines, B8788, true breeding for orange color and B8750, true breeding for white root color, were hybridized to the Medicago Affymetrix GeneChip microarray.

Near isogenic recombinant inbred lines B8788 and B8750, derived from a cross between white rooted wild carrot (QAL) and orange-rooted B493 were used for comparative analyzes to minimize background genetic differences. B8788 is true breeding for orange color whereas B8750 is true breeding for white storage root color. Carrots were grown in three pots for each genotype under greenhouse conditions and carrots were selected arbitrarily from these pots for harvest. Roots were harvested at approximately 11 weeks post planting when carotenoid accumulation becomes apparent in the storage root. Storage root tissue from sixteen individual carrot roots was pooled into three one-gram tissue pools of four carrots for each genotype.

Project description:The aim of this study was to conduct a genome-wide analysis for constituent tuber carotenoid QTL. Using a genetical genomics approach samples from clones with similar carotenoid traits were bulked and patterns of gene expression were measured for each bulk by microarray analysis. Variation of gene expression within these bulks may be due to either polymorphisms located near to or within the gene (cis-eQTL) or indirectly from a distant location on the genome (trans-eQTL). Differentially expressed clones from bulks with contrasting carotenoid traits were genetically mapped in order to re-enforce the QTL analysis, and provide a rapid means of developing gene markers closely associated with the target traits.
