We developed a high-throughput gene knockout kit for Trichoderma reesei, enabling efficient strain engineering for improved cellulase production and biofuel applications.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Trichoderma reesei is a key fungus for cellulase production.
  • Traditional strain improvement relies on random mutagenesis.
  • Recombinant technologies are crucial for understanding cellulase regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a high-throughput gene knockout system for Trichoderma reesei.
  • To facilitate detailed studies of cellulase gene regulation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a construction kit for gene deletion using pyr4, amdS, and hph markers.
  • Utilized yeast-mediated recombination for vector construction.
  • Employed spore electroporation in a non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-deficient T. reesei strain.
  • Removed the NHEJ defect through crossing with a sexually competent strain.

Main Results:

  • Established a feasible high-throughput gene deletion strategy for T. reesei.
  • Demonstrated efficient removal of the NHEJ defect via sexual development without additional markers.
  • Enabled construction of multiple mutants with reduced hands-on time and screening effort.

Conclusions:

  • The developed toolkit significantly enhances the feasibility of high-throughput gene deletion in T. reesei.
  • Sexual development provides an efficient method to remove genetic defects.
  • This approach accelerates research for optimizing T. reesei for cellulase expression and second-generation biofuel production.
