Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyzed metabolism of hydrocarbons after initial hydroxylation of n-alkanes in n-alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. We revealed that genes ADH1, ADH3,and FAO1 are important for oxidation of long chain fatty alcohols, which are the initial hydroxylation products by cytochromes P450Alk, among 8 genes encoding alcohol dehydrogenase and 1 gene encoding alcohol oxidase. Four genes HFD1, HFD2, HFD3, and HFD4 encoding long chain aldehyde dehydrogenase are involved in further oxidation of the oxidised long chain alcohols. In addition, FAA1 and FAT1 that are encoding fatty acyl CoA synthetase are necessary for assimilation of exogenous fatty acids. These results show that the genes that are encoding enzymes in n-alkane metabolism have been multiplied and diversified during adaptive evolution of this yeast.
