Increasing the heterologous production of spinosad in Streptomyces albus J1074 by regulating biosynthesis of its polyketide skeleton

Spinosyns are natural broad-spectrum biological insecticides with a double glycosylated polyketide structure that are produced by aerobic fermentation of the actinomycete, Saccharopolyspora spinosa. However, their large-scale overproduction is hindered by poorly understood bottlenecks in optimizing...

description Spinosyns are natural broad-spectrum biological insecticides with a double glycosylated polyketide structure that are produced by aerobic fermentation of the actinomycete, Saccharopolyspora spinosa. However, their large-scale overproduction is hindered by poorly understood bottlenecks in optimizing the original strain, and poor adaptability of the heterologous strain to the production of spinosyn. In this study, we genetically engineered heterologous spinosyn-producer Streptomyces albus J1074 and optimized the fermentation to improve the production of spinosad (spinosyn A and spinosyn D) based on our previous work. We systematically investigated the result of overexpressing polyketide synthase genes (spnA, B, C, D, E) using a constitutive promoter on the spinosad titer in S. albus J1074. The supply of polyketide synthase precursors was then increased to further improve spinosad production. Finally, increasing or replacing the carbon source of the culture medium resulted in a final spinosad titer of ∼70 mg/L, which is the highest titer of spinosad achieved in heterologous Streptomyces species. This research provides useful strategies for efficient heterologous production of natural products.
