RESUMO
alpha,omega-Dicarboxylic acid accumulation from alkanes and alkane degradation intermediates was investigated using Yarrowia lipolytica wild type strain W29 as well as a double, a triple and a quadruple POX-deleted strains. Six genes, POX1 through POX6, encode six acyl-CoA oxidase isozymes in Y. lipolytica. All the strains accumulated dodecanedioic acid (5-20 mg ml(-1)) from the diterminal functionalised 1,12-dodecane diol and 12-hydroxdodecanoic acid. The quadruple-deleted strain was the only strain that was able to accumulate dioic acids from C16 alkanol and monocarboxylic acid as well as from C12, C14 and C16 alkanes (maximum 8 mg ml(-1) from dodecane).

Dodecanol (1% v/v) and dodecanoic acid (1% w/v) inhibited growth of Yarrowia lipolytica in complex media supplemented with glucose but dodecanedioic acid (1% w/v) was not toxic. Dodecanol-tolerant strains were prepared from the wild type strain H222 as well as the acyl-CoA oxidase deleted (deltaPOX2, POX3, POX5) strain MTLY35. These strains grew in rich media containing up to 10% (v/v) dodecanol. Dodecanol-tolerant strains remained dodecanol tolerant after they had been cultured in rich media without dodecanol. No significant amount of dodecanedioic acid was accumulated by the dodecanol-tolerant strains when grown on glucose in the presence of dodecanol.
