  • Patent number: 11414650
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a construction method of a Mucor circinelloides cell factory for producing dihomo-?-linolenic acid and a fermentation technology, belonging to the field of genetic engineering. In the present disclosure, ?-linolenic acid elongase gene glelo is obtained from Mortierella alpine by cloning, the gene is ligated to an integrative plasmid pMAT1552, and transformed into a Mucor circinelloides defective strain Mu402, and the gene glelo is integrated into Mucor circinelloides genome through homologous recombination, to obtain the recombinant strain Mc-glelo, and finally, the expression of the gene glelo in Mucor circinelloides is realized. The lipid content in the recombinant strain Mc-glelo is not obviously different from that in the control strain Mc1552, however, the lipid composition changes greatly, and dihomo-?-linolenic acid appears in the lipids of the recombinant strain Mc-glelo, and the content thereof reaches 5.7% of the total fatty acids.

  • Patent number: 11407793
    Abstract: The present application discloses a dicarboxylic acid transporter and its encoding gene dit gene for increasing oil yield of Mucor circinelloides, the dit gene is cloned from the high-yield M. circinelloides WJ11, and the dit gene is transformed into M. circinelloides deficient strain Mu402, the dit gene is integrated into the genome of M. circinelloides by homologous recombination to obtain recombinant strain Mc-Dit. The total fatty acid content of the Mc-Dit strain increased by 33.76% and the intracellular lipid content may reach up to 17.67% of the dry biomass.
