ABSTRACT Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae can reduce xylose to xylitol. However, in S.cerevisiae, there are several endogenous enzymes including xylitol dehydrogenase encoded by XYL2, sorbitol dehydrogenases encoded by SOR1/SOR2 and xylulokinase encoded by XKS1 may lead to the assimilation of xylitol. In this study, to increase xylitol accumulation, these genes were separately deleted through CRISPR/Cas9 system. Their effects on xylitol yield of an industrial S. cerevisiae CK17 overexpressing Candida tropicalis XYL1 (encoding xylose reductase) were investigated. Deletion of SOR1/SOR2 or XKS1 increased the xylitol yield in both batch and fed-batch fermentation with different concentrations of glucose and xylose. The analysis of the transcription level of key genes in the mutants during fed-batch fermentation suggests that SOR1/SOR2 are more crucially responsible for xylitol oxidation than XYL2 under the genetic background of S.cerevisiae CK17. The deletion of XKS1 gene could also weaken SOR1/SOR2 expression, thereby increasing the xylitol accumulation. The XKS1-deleted strain CK17ΔXKS1 produced 46.17 g/L of xylitol and reached a xylitol yield of 0.92 g/g during simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of pretreated corn stover slurry. Therefore, the deletion of XKS1 gene provides a promising strategy to meet the industrial demands for xylitol production from lignocellulosic biomass.
