Abstract

Succinic acid is an essential bulk chemical with wide-ranging applications in materials, food, and pharmaceuticals. With the advancement of biotechnology, there has been a surge in focus on low-carbon sustainable microbial synthesis methods for producing biobased succinic acid. Due to its high intrinsic acid tolerance, Yarrowia lipolytica has gained recognition as a competitive chassis for the industrial manufacture of succinic acid. This review summarizes the research progress on succinic acid biomanufacturing using Y. lipolytica. First, it introduces the major metabolic routes for succinic acid biosynthesis and the pertinent engineering approaches for building efficient cell factories. Subsequently, we offer a review of methods employed for succinic acid synthesis by Y. lipolytica utilizing alternative substrates as well as the relevant optimization strategies for the fermentation process. Finally, future research directions for improving succinic acid biomanufacturing in Y. lipolytica are delineated in light of the recent progress, obstacles, and trends in this area.
