摘要:

靛蓝作为一种历史悠久且应用广泛的蓝色色素,传统生产方法存在植物提取效率低、化学合成污染大等问题,推动其绿色生物制造成为研究热点。目前,酶法主要集中在黄素单加氧酶和细胞色素P450单加氧酶的挖掘与改造,通过定向进化与理性设计提升其催化效率;发酵法则侧重于利用野生菌株或基因工程菌株,结合代谢工程与发酵过程优化以提高产量。系统梳理了两类方法的关键酶、菌种、改造策略及优化手段,并总结了当前工业化应用中存在的产率低、稳定性不足等挑战,旨在为靛蓝的绿色、高效生物制造提供理论参考与技术支撑,推动其在可持续发展领域的应用。

Abstract:

Indigo, a historically significant and widely used blue pigment, faces challenges in its traditional production, such as low extraction efficiency from plants and substantial pollution from chemical synthesis. These limitations have propelled the green biomanufacturing of indigo. Currently, enzymatic strategies mainly focus on the discovery and engineering of flavin-containing monooxygenases and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, with efforts directed toward improving catalytic efficiency through directed evolution and rational design. Meanwhile, fermentation methods emphasize the use of wild-type or genetically engineered microbial strains, coupled with metabolic engineering and fermentation process optimization to enhance yield. This paper systematically outlined the key enzymes, microbial hosts, engineering strategies, and optimization techniques associated with both routes. It also discussed major challenges hindering industrial application, including low productivity and insufficient operational stability. The review aims to provide theoretical insights and technical support for the green and efficient biomanufacturing of indigo, thereby facilitating its sustainable development and application.

Key words: indigo, pigment, P450 monooxygenase, flavin-containing monooxygenase, green manufacturing
