紫杉二烯人工酵母的代谢组学分析

Metabolomics analysis of taxadiene producing yeasts

为了更深入地从代谢角度研究萜类合成人工酵母的内在差异,以紫杉二烯人工酵母为例,利用代谢组学的方法对其发酵指数中期胞内代谢物的变化进行了测定。结果表明,与对照菌W303-1A相比,紫杉二烯的生产会对胞内糖酵解、三羧酸循环中间物及一些氨基酸的含量产生不同程度的影响,进而对其生长产生一定抑制作用。其中柠檬酸因紫杉二烯功能模块的引入下降明显,降幅达90%以上,因此可以作为后续功能酵母研究的标志性代谢物。紫杉二烯人工酵母细胞代谢组的研究可以为萜类化合物异源合成的优化提供更多的信息和帮助。

In order to study the inherent difference among terpenes producing yeasts from the point of metabolomics, we selected taxadiene producing yeasts as the model system. The changes of cellular metabolites during fermentation log phase of artificial functional yeasts were determined using metabolomics methods. The results represented that compared to W303-1A as a blank control, the metabolites in glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle （TCA） cycle and several amino acids were influenced. And due to the changes of metabolites, the growth of cells was inhibited to a certain extent. Among the metabolites identified, citric acid content in taxadiene producing yeasts changed the most, the decreasing amplitude reached90% or more. Therefore, citric acid can be a marker metabolite for the future study of artificial functional yeasts. The metabolomics analysis of taxadiene producing yeasts can provide more information in further studies on optimization of terpenes production in heterologous chassis.
