Pathway Edits

  • ScSDH1 succinate dehydrogenase subunit 1 partial knockdown (50%) to reduce succinate oxidation to fumarate, accumulating succinic acid in yeast
  • ScSDH2 iron-sulfur subunit 2 activity reduction via weak promoter replacement for SDH complex downregulation
  • ScFUM1 fumarase overexpression for futile cycling of fumarate-to-malate, indirectly elevating succinate by reducing fumarate pool pressure
  • ScMDH2 malate dehydrogenase cytosolic isoform overexpression for enhanced OAA-to-malate cycling supporting succinate accumulation

Key Interventions

Succinic acid umami potentiation via SDH complex suppression and glyoxylate cycle activation for net succinate accumulation in yeast fermentateTCA cycle succinate node engineering targeting organic acid-mediated mGluR1 potentiation for umami persistence and mouthfeelFlavour carrier succinic acid co-production alongside free glutamate for synergistic umami enhancement in fermented products

Use Case

Fermented yeast extracts, sake lees (kasu), and fermentation-derived flavor concentrates where succinic acid contributes umami body, persistence, and mouthfeel to savory product matrices.
