ABSTRACT
Methanol, a rich one-carbon feedstock, can be massively produced from CO2 by the liquid sunshine route, which is helpful to realize carbon neutrality. ß-Farnesene is widely used in the production of polymers, surfactants, lubricants, and also serves as a suitable substitute for jet fuel. Constructing an efficient cell factory is a feasible approach for ß-farnesene production through methanol biotransformation. Here, we extensively engineered the methylotrophic yeast Ogataea polymorpha for the efficient bio-production of ß-farnesene using methanol as the sole carbon source. Our study demonstrated that sufficient supply of precursor acetyl-CoA and cofactor NADPH in an excellent yeast chassis had a 1.3-fold higher ß-farnesene production than that of wild-type background strain. Further optimization of the mevalonate pathway and enhancement of acetyl-CoA supply led to a 7-fold increase in ß-farnesene accumulation, achieving the highest reported sesquiterpenoids production (14.7 g/L with a yield of 46 mg/g methanol) from one-carbon feedstock under fed-batch fermentation in bioreactor. This study demonstrates the great potential of engineering O. polymorpha for high-level terpenoid production from methanol.
