Abstract


Curcumin, a natural polyphenol derived from turmeric, has attracted immense interest due to its diverse pharmacological properties. Traditional extraction methods from Curcuma longa plants present limitations in meeting the growing demand for this bioactive compound, giving significance to its production by genetically modified microorganisms. Herein, we have developed an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce curcumin from glucose. A pathway composed of the 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-monooxygenase oxygenase complex from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella enterica, caffeic acid O-methyltransferase from Arabidopsis thaliana, feruloyl-CoA synthetase from Pseudomonas paucimobilis, and diketide-CoA synthase and curcumin synthase from C. longa was introduced in a p-coumaric acid overproducing S. cerevisiae strain. This strain produced 240.1 ± 15.1 μg/L of curcumin. Following optimization of phenylpropanoids conversion, a strain capable of producing 4.2 ± 0.6 mg/L was obtained. This study reports for the first time the successful de novo production of curcumin in S. cerevisiae.
