This study aimed to overexpress a glucose oxidase gene (GOD1) in Aureobasidium sp. P6 to achieve Ca²⁺-gluconic acid (GA) overproduction. The GOD1 gene was cloned, deleted, and overexpressed. A protein deduced from the GOD1 gene of Aureobasidium sp. P6 strain had 1824 bp that encoded a protein with 606 amino acids, with a conserved NADB-ROSSMAN domain and a GMC-oxred domain. Deleting the GOD1 gene made the disruptant GOK1 completely lose the ability to produce GA and GOD1 activity, whereas overexpressing the GOD1 gene rendered the transformant GOEX8 to produce considerably more Ca²⁺-GA (160.5 ± 5.6 g/L) and higher GOD1 activity (1438.6 ± 73.2 U/mg of protein) than its parent P6 strain (118.7 ± 4.3 g/L of Ca²⁺-GA and 1100.0 ± 23.6 U/mg of GOD1 protein). During a 10-L fermentation, the transformant GOEX8 grown in the medium containing 160.0 g/L of glucose produced 186.8 ± 6.0 g/L of Ca²⁺-GA, the yield was 1.2 g/g of glucose, and the volumetric productivity was 1.7 g/L/h. Most of the produced GOD1 were located in the yeast cell wall. The purified product was identified to be a GA. The transformant GOEX8 overexpressing the GOD1 gene could produce considerably more Ca²⁺-GA (186.8 ± 6.0 g/L) than its wild-type strain P6.
