| Abstract: | The production of bio-based succinic acid is receiving great attention, and several predominantly prokaryotic organisms have been evaluated for this purpose. In this study we report on the suitability of the highly acid- and osmotolerant yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a succinic acid production host. We implemented a metabolic engineering strategy for the oxidative production of succinic acid in yeast by deletion of the genes SDH1, SDH2, IDH1 and IDP1. The engineered strains harbor a TCA cycle that is completely interrupted after the intermediates isocitrate and succinate. The strains show no serious growth constraints on glucose. In glucose-grown shake flask cultures, the quadruple deletion strain Δsdh1Δsdh2Δidh1Δidp1 produces succinic acid at a titer of 3.62 g L?1 (factor 4.8 compared to wild-type) at a yield of 0.11 mol (mol glucose)?1. Succinic acid is not accumulated intracellularly. This makes the yeast S. cerevisiae a suitable and promising candidate for the biotechnological production of succinic acid on an industrial scale. |
