ABSTRACT
d-Limonene, a cyclic monoterpene, possesses citrus-like olfactory property and multi-physiological functions. In this study, the d-limonene synthase (tLS) from Citrus limon was codon-optimized and heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The metabolic flux of canonical pathway based on overexpressing endogenous geranyl diphosphate synthase gene (ERG20) and its variant ERG20F96W-N127W was strengthened for improvement d-limonene production in Chinese Baijiu. To further elevate production, we established an orthogonal pathway by introducing neryl diphosphate synthase 1 (tNDPS1) from Solanum lycopersicum. The results showed that expressing ERG20 and ERG20F96W-N127W could enhance d-limonene synthesis, while expressing heterologous NPP synthase gene significantly increase d-limonene formation. Furthermore, we constructed a tLS-tNDPS1 fusion protein, and the best strain yielded 9.8 mg/L d-limonene after optimizing the amino acid linker and fusion order, a 40% improvement over the free enzymes during Chinese Baijiu fermentation. Finally, under the optimized fermentation conditions, a maximum d-limonene content of 23.7 mg/L in strain AY12α-L9 was achieved, which was the highest reported production in Chinese Baijiu. In addition, we also investigated that the effect of d-limonene concentration on yeast growth and fermentation. This study provided a meaningful insight into the platform for other valuable monoterpenes biosynthesis in Chinese Baijiu fermentation.
