Abstract


Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), a predominant photosynthetic membrane lipid derived from plants and microalgae, has important applications in feed additives, medicine, and other fields. The low content and various structural stereoselectivity differences of MGDG in plants limited the biological extraction or chemical synthesis of MGDG, resulting in a supply shortage of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol with a growing demand. Herein, we established Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a cell factory for efficient de novo production of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol for the first time. Heterologous production of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol was achieved by overexpression of codon-optimized monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase gene MGD1, the key Kennedy pathway genes (i.e. GAT1, ICT1, and PAH1), and multi-copy integration of the MGD1 expression cassette. The final engineered strain (MG-8) was capable of producing monogalactosyldiacylglycerol with titers as high as 16.58 nmol/mg DCW in a shake flask and 103.2 nmol/mg DCW in a 5 L fed-batch fermenter, respectively. This is the first report of heterologous biosynthesis of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol in microorganisms, which will provide a favorable reference for study on heterologous production of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol in yeasts.
