    Abstract:
    Patchoulol is a tricyclic sesquiterpene widely used in perfumes and cosmetics. Herein, comprehensive engineering strategies were employed to construct an efficient yeast strain for patchoulol production. First, a platform strain was constructed via pathway modification. Second, three off-pathway genes were deleted, which led to significant physiological changes in yeast. Further, strengthening of the ergosterol pathway, enhancement of the energy supply, and a decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species were implemented to improve the physiological status of yeast, demonstrating a new promotive relationship between ergosterol biosynthesis and synthesis of patchoulol. Moreover, patchoulol synthase was improved through protein modification and Mg2+ addition, reaching a final titer of 141.5 mg/L in a shake flask. Finally, a two-stage fermentation with dodecane addition was employed to achieve the highest production (1632.0 mg/L, 87.0 mg/g dry cell weight, 233.1 mg/L/d) ever reported for patchoulol in a 5 L bioreactor. This work lays a foundation for green and efficient patchoulol production.
