Problems solved by technology

[0005] Most of the lycopene on the market is a natural product extracted from tomato, but since the content of lycopene in tomato is only about 0.002%, the extraction is difficult, costly and low in purity, and a large number of tomatoes are grown for tomato red Vegetarian extraction needs to consume a lot of land resources
[0006] There are also some reports on the preparation of lycopene by microbial fermentation. U.S. patents US3097146, US3369974 and Chinese patent 200510090996.0 propose a method for preparing lycopene by fermentation of B. trispora. However, these methods require the addition of aminopyridine, etc. Chemical agents interfere with the biosynthetic pathway of molds to achieve the accumulation of lycopene, and the residues of chemical additives in the product will have adverse effects on human health
Chinese patent 200710122895 invented a method for accumulating lycopene by fermentation of bacteria (Streptomyces fissures), but due to the limitation of the supply of its synthetic precursor, the yield of lycopene produced according to this method is only 0.4% to 0.7% %Cell dry weight range, there is still no substantial breakthrough and improvement
[0009] Both lycopene and β-carotene are carotene substances, and they have similar chemical structures. The idea of ​​allowing Dunaliella to directly synthesize and accumulate lycopene like biosynthesis of β-carotene is very attractive, because so far So far, no organisms capable of synthesizing and accumulating lycopene with such high efficiency have been found in the world

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for biologically synthesizing lycopene, in particular to a method for enabling Dunaliella to accumulate high-content lycopene. The method comprises the following steps of: extracting Dunaliella genome DNA; cloning a lycopene-beta-cyclase (LycB) gene of the DNA; constructing an LycB gene knockout vector and transforming the vector into a Dunaliella salina cell; and screening and identifying to obtain LycB gene knockout Dunaliella, wherein the LycB gene expression of the Dunaliella is inhibited; the process of biologically synthesizing beta-carotene by using the cell is stopped at the lycopene stage; and under the stress condition, a large amount of lycopene can be accumulated in an organism and the lycopene content is 3 to 4 percent of the dry weight of the Dunaliella. The method is a new way of obtaining a large amount of natural lycopene with low price.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for biosynthesizing lycopene, especially a method for accumulating high-content lycopene in Dunaliella. Background technique [0002] Lycopene (Lycopene) is a fat-soluble natural pigment. Its molecule is a straight-chain hydrocarbon composed of 11 conjugated double bonds and 2 non-conjugated double bonds. It belongs to carotenoids. Mainly found in tomato, watermelon, red grapefruit and other plants. Studies in the past ten years have shown that lycopene has a strong antioxidant activity, and its ability to scavenge singlet oxygen is 100 times that of vitamin E, 2.2 times that of β-carotene, and the effect of scavenging hydroxyl free radicals is better than that of β-carotene. It is 32 times stronger than antioxidant, which is one of the strongest antioxidants found in nature. Studies have found that lycopene has superior physiological functions. It not only has anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects, but also has good e...
