description 3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is an important intermediate compound in the chemical industry. Green and environmentally friendly microbial synthesis methods are becoming increasingly popular in a range of industries. Compared to other chassis cells, <i>Yarrowia lipolytica</i> possesses advantages, such as high tolerance to organic acid and a sufficient precursor required to synthesize 3-HP. In this study, gene manipulations, including the overexpression of genes <i>MCR-N<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mrow><mi>C</mi><mi>a</mi></mrow></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula></i>, <i>MCR-C<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mrow><mi>C</mi><mi>a</mi></mrow></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula></i>, <i>GAPN<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mrow><mi>S</mi><mi>m</mi></mrow></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula></i>, <i>ACC1</i> and <i>ACS<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msubsup><mrow></mrow><mrow><mi>S</mi><mi>e</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>L</mi><mn>641</mn><mi>P</mi></mrow></msubsup></semantics></math></inline-formula></i> and knocking out bypass genes <i>MLS1</i> and <i>CIT2</i>, leading to the glyoxylate cycle, were performed to construct a recombinant strain. Based on this, the degradation pathway of 3-HP in <i>Y. lipolytica</i> was discovered, and relevant genes <i>MMSDH</i> and <i>HPDH</i> were knocked out. To our knowledge, this study is the first to produce 3-HP in <i>Y. lipolytica</i>. The yield of 3-HP in recombinant strain Po1f-NC-14 in shake flask fermentation reached 1.128 g·L<sup>−1</sup>, and the yield in fed-batch fermentation reached 16.23 g·L<sup>−1</sup>. These results are highly competitive compared to other yeast chassis cells. This study creates the foundation for the production of 3-HP in <i>Y. lipolytica</i> and also provides a reference for further research in the future.
