Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a genetically modified fungal microorganism for the production of frambinone, the microorganism having the following characteristics: —the capacity to produce frambinone from tyrosine; and —a limited capacity or no capacity to break tyrosine down into tyrosol, p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde and/or p-hydroxyphenylacetate; and to the use of same for producing frambinone.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for the production of frambinone comprising culturing a genetically modified fungal microorganism with a capacity to produce frambinone from tyrosine in a medium comprising tyrosine and a repressor of the path for breaking tyrosine down into tyrosol, p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde and/or p-hydroxyphenylacetate, and wherein the repressor is glutamate. 2. The process for the production of frambinone according to claim 1 characterized in that the microorganism (a) belongs to the phyla chosen from among the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes, (b) includes at least one heterologous sequence encoding the enzyme 4-coumarate: CoA ligase (4CL) or benzalacetone synthase (BAS), (c) comprises at least one heterologous or supernumerary sequence encoding the enzyme tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) or benzalacetone reductase (BAR), (d) comprises at least one heterologous or supernumerary sequence encoding the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) or cinnamate 4 hydroxylase (C4H), or (e) comprises any combination of characteristics (a)-(d). 3. The process for the production of frambinone according to claim 1 characterized in that the microorganism is the industrial strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae RK4 registered with the CNCM on Jun. 1, 2016 under number I-5101. 4. The process for the production of frambinone according to claim 1 characterized in that the microorganism is the industrial strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae RK5 registered with the CNCM on Apr. 26, 2017 under number I-5199. 5. The process for the production of frambinone according to claim 1 characterized in that the microorganism belongs to the genus Yarrowia, Debaryomyces, Arxula, Scheffersomyces, Geotrichum, Pichia , or Saccharomyces. 6. The process for the production of frambinone of claim 2 characterized in that the microorganism includes at least one heterologous sequence encoding 4CL and BAS, at least one heterologous or supernumerary sequence encoding TAL and BAR, and/or at least one heterologous or supernumerary sequence encoding PAL or C4H.
