摘要： Objectives To establish a recombinase flippase (FLP) and flippase recognition target (FRT) system-mediated protocol for post-integration excision of exogenous DNA fragments in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides.
   Results Binary vectors were constructed to harbor FLP expressing cassette together with the hygromycin-resistance marker. Results showed that R. toruloides transformants produced FLP, but failed to mediate removal of the bleomycin-resistance marker within two FRT sites. When FLP was fused with a native nuclear localization signal (NLS) peptide, the system was found functional. Moreover, R. toruloides recombinant strains expressing the NLS-fused FLP under the control of PADH2, an promoter of alcohol dehydrogenase 2 gene (RHTO_03062), were obtained to realize homologous recombination upon growing in glucose-deficient medium.
   Conclusions We have devised a homologous recombination method for R. toruloides based on the FLP/FRT system, which may facilitate further metabolic engineering and designing advanced cell factories for value-added chemicals.
