The present application discloses a dicarboxylic acid transporter and its encoding gene dit gene for increasing oil yield of Mucor circinelloides, the dit gene is cloned from the high-yield M. circinelloides WJ11, and the dit gene is transformed into M. circinelloides deficient strain Mu402, the dit gene is integrated into the genome of M. circinelloides by homologous recombination to obtain recombinant strain Mc-Dit. The total fatty acid content of the Mc-Dit strain increased by 33.76% and the intracellular lipid content may reach up to 17.67% of the dry biomass.
