Abstract This study aimed to express an inulinase gene from the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus (KmINU) in Aurantiochytrium sp. and realized one-step utilization of inulin resource for DHA production without any chemical pretreatment. An expression cassette with a length of 6052 bp for expressing the inulinase gene was constructed by a fast two-step PCR method and then was transferred into the Aurantiochytrium sp. cells. The Aurantiochytrium sp. recombinant T39 was selected with an inulinase activity up to 50.1 U/mL in 72 h. In a 5-l fed-batch fermentation, as high as 148.9 g/L of inulin was directly used within 120 h, and only 1.2 g/L of total sugar was left in the medium at the end of fermentation. The biomass of 51.4 g/L with a lipid content of 69.2% DCW and a DHA yield of 14.9 g/L was obtained.

Introduction Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) belongs to a typical ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with various physiological and functional effects for humans, such as improvements of neural and retinal developing in infants and decline in atherosclerosis, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, schizophrenia, and cancers [1, 2]. Thus, DHA has been widely applied in the food, medical, and feed industries with significant market potentials. Aurantiochytrium sp. is a heterotrophic thraustochytrid and derived from the marine ecology. Utilizing numerous substrates, Aurantiochytrium sp. can grow at a high rate and accumulate a large amount of lipid rich in ω-3 PUFA (mainly DHA) in its cell. Thus, Aurantiochytrium sp. is well known as a typ
