Abstract

Abstract Background Sesquiterpenes are designated as a large class of plant-derived natural active compounds, which have wide applications in industries of energy, food, cosmetics, medicine and agriculture. Neither plant extraction nor chemical synthesis can meet the massive market demands and sustainable development goals. Biosynthesis in microbial cell factories represents an eco-friendly and high-efficient way. Among several microorganisms, Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibited the potential as a chassis for bioproduction of various sesquiterpenes due to its native mevalonate pathway. However, its inefficient nature limits biosynthesis of diverse sesquiterpenes at industrial grade. Results Herein, we exploited an artificial synthetic malonic acid-acetoacetyl-CoA (MAAC) metabolic pathway to switch central carbon metabolic flux for stable and efficient biosynthesis of sesquiterpene-based high-density biofuel precursor in S. cerevisiae. Through investigations at transcription and metabolism levels, we revealed that strains with rewired central metabolism can devote more sugars to β-caryophyllene production. By optimizing the MVA pathway, the yield of β-caryophyllene from YQ-4 was 25.8 mg/L, which was 3 times higher than that of the initial strain YQ-1. Strain YQ-7 was obtained by introducing malonic acid metabolic pathway. Combing the optimized flask fermentation process, the target production boosted by about 13-fold, to 328 mg/L compared to that in the strain YQ-4 without malonic acid metabolic pathway. Conclusion This designed MAAC pathway for sesquiterpene-based high-density biofuel precursor synthesis can provide an impressive cornerstone for achieving a sustainable production of renewable fuels.
