Abstract


Reducing xylitol formation is necessary in engineering xylose utilization in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae for ethanol production through xylose reductase/xylitol dehydrogenase pathway. To balance the expression of XYL1 and mutant XYL2 encoding xylose reductase (XR) and NADP(+)-dependent xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, we utilized a strategy combining chassis selection and direct fine-tuning of XYL1 and XYL2 expression in this study. A XYL1 gene under the control of various promoters of ADH1, truncated ADH1 and PGK1, and a mutated XYL2 with different copy numbers were constructed into different xylose-utilizing modules, which were then expressed in two yeast chassises W303a and L2612. The strategy enabled an improved L2612-derived recombinant strain with XYL1 controlled by promoter PGK1 and with two copies of XYL2. The strain exhibited a 21.3% lower xylitol yield and a 40.0% higher ethanol yield. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the combinatorial strategy for construction of an efficient xylose-fermenting S. cerevisiae.
