description The growing demand for natural pigments in the industrial sector is a significant driving force in the development of production processes. The production of natural blue pigments, which have wide industrial applications, using microbial systems has been gaining significant attention. In this study, we used Aspergillus oryzae as a platform cell factory to produce the blue pigment indigoidine (InK), by genetic manipulation of its non-ribosomal peptide synthetase system to overexpress the indigoidine synthetase gene (AoinK). Phenotypic analysis showed that InK production from the engineered strain was growth associated, owing to the constitutive control of gene expression. Furthermore, the initial pH, temperature, and glutamine and MgSO4 concentrations were key factors affecting InK production by the engineered strain. The pigment secretion was enhanced by addition of 1% Tween 80 solution to the culture medium. The maximum titer of total InK was 1409.22 ± 95.33 mg/L, and the maximum productivity was 265.09 ± 14.74 mg/L·d. Moreover, the recombinant InK produced by the engineered strain exhibited antioxidant activity. These results indicate that A. oryzae has the potential to be used as a fungal platform for overproduction of extracellular non-ribosomal peptide pigments.
