Metabolic Engineering of Mucor circinelloides for Zeaxanthin Production

2012
Mucor circinelloides is a β-carotene producing zygomycete amenable to metabolic engineering using molecular tools. The crtS gene of the heterobasidiomycetous yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous encodes the enzymatic activities β-carotene hydroxylase and ketolase, allowing this yeast to produce the xanthophyll called astaxanthin.

Carotenoid Mutants of Mucor circinelloides

Botanica Acta, 1995
AbstractThe wild‐type of the filamentous fungus Mucor circinelloides accumulates the yellow pigment β‐carotene. At a continuous blue‐light fluence rate of 0.1 W/m2 the β‐carotene content increases about eight fold over the dark controls. Among the mutants isolated after exposure of spores to either N‐methyl‐N'‐nitro‐N‐nitrosoguanidine or ICR‐170, a red

The nitrogen regulator AreA modulates lipid metabolism through uga2 in Mucor circinelloides.

Fungal Biology
Oleaginous filamentous fungus Mucor circinelloides harbors a GATA transcription activator AreA, which regulates nitrogen metabolism. In our previous study, deletion of AreA resulted in increased lipid production, while its overexpression reduced lipid ...

Negative Regulation of Kog1 on Lipid Accumulation in the Oleaginous Fungus Mucor circinelloides.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Oleaginous microorganisms can produce polyunsaturated fatty acids beneficial to human health through adjusting the nitrogen content in the medium. The target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is important for nitrogen sensing and then regulates lipid ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation ofMucor circinelloides

Folia Microbiologica, 2005
The Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of the zygomycetous fungus Mucor circinelloides is described. A method was also developed for the hygromycin B-based selection of Mucor transformants. Transformation with the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene of Escherichia coli controlled by the heterologous Aspergillus nidulans trpC promoter ...
