In order to clarify the genetic linkage groups of the Japanese brown frog Rana japonica, and compare them with those of other vertebrates, the inheritance of 10 enzyme and blood protein loci was examined in 267 offspring derived from 18 crosses using 10 males heterozygous at these loci. Most of the segregation tests exhibited no significant deviations from the expected normal Mendelian ratios. Of 32 pairs of loci tested for linkage, 29 pairs showed independent assortment in all crosses examined. In the three other locus pairs, between ADH-1 and Alb, IDH-1 and Hb-1, and LDH-B and MPI, all offspring analyzed were parental, and there were no recombinants. These three linkage groups comprising six loci were thus established in R. japonica, whereas no linkage between the other four loci, AAT-1, ADA, GPI, and PEP-A, was observed.

Squalene has wide applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Engineering microbes to produce squalene is a promising alternative for traditional production approaches. In this study, squalene production was enhanced to 978.24 mg/L through stepwise overexpression of the enzymes that catalyze acetyl-CoA to squalene. Subsequently, to increase the activity of HMG-CoA reductase and alleviate the high dependence on NADPH, the HMG-CoA reductase (NADH-HMGR) from Silicibacter pomeroyi, highly specific for NADH, was introduced, which increased squalene production to 1086.31 mg/L. Native ethanol dehydrogenase ADH2 and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase ADA from Dickeya zeae were further overexpressed, which enhanced the capability to utilize ethanol for squalene synthesis and endowed the engineered strain with greater adaptability to high ethanol concentrations. Finally, a remarkable squalene production of 9472 mg/L was obtained from ethanol via carbon source-controlled fed-batch fermentation. This study will greatly accelerate the process of developing microbial cell factories for squalene production.
