Linolenic Acid Plus Ethanol Exacerbates Cell Death in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Promoting Lipid Peroxidation, Cardiolipin Loss, and Necrosis. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12071052. [PMID: 35888140 PMCID: PMC9320082 DOI: 10.3390/life12071052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) hypersensitize yeast to oxidative stress. Ethanol accumulation during fermentation is another factor that induces oxidative stress via mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS overproduction. Since this microorganism has raised growing interest as a PUFA factory, we have studied if the combination of PUFA plus ethanol enhances yeast death. Respiration, ROS generation, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial cardiolipin content, and cell death were assessed in yeast grown in the presence of 10% ethanol (ETOH) or linolenic acid (C18:3), or ethanol plus C18:3 (ETOH+C18:3). Lipid peroxidation and cardiolipin loss were several-fold higher in cells with ETOH+C18:3 than with C18:3. On the contrary, ETOH tended to increase cardiolipin content without inducing changes in lipid peroxidation. This was consistent with a remarkable diminution of cell growth and an exacerbated propidium iodide staining in cells with only ETOH+C18:3. The respiration rate decreased with all the treatments to a similar degree, and this was paralleled with similar increments in ROS between all the treatments. These results indicate that PUFA plus ethanol hypersensitize yeast to necrotic cell death by exacerbating membrane damage and mitochondrial cardiolipin loss, independent of mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS generation. The implications of these observations for some biotechnological applications in yeast and its physiology are discussed.

Abstract
The global market for high-value fatty acids production, mainly omega-3/6, hydroxy fatty-acids, waxes and their derivatives, has seen strong development in the last decade. The reason for this growth was the increasing utilization of these lipids as significant ingredients for cosmetics, food and the oleochemical industries. The large demand for these compounds resulted in a greater scientific interest in research focused on alternative sources of oil production - among which microorganisms attracted the most attention. Microbial oil production offers the possibility to engineer the pathways and store lipids enriched with the desired fatty acids. Moreover, costly chemical steps are avoided and direct commercial use of these fatty acids is available. Among all microorganisms, the oleaginous yeasts have become the most promising hosts for lipid production - their efficient lipogenesis, ability to use various (often highly affordable) carbon sources, feasible large-scale cultivations and wide range of available genetic engineering tools turns them into powerful micro-factories. This review is an in-depth description of the recent developments in the engineering of the lipid biosynthetic pathway with oleaginous yeasts. The different classes of valuable lipid compounds with their derivatives are described and their importance for human health and industry is presented. The emphasis is also placed on the optimization of culture conditions in order to improve the yield and titer of these valuable compounds. Furthermore, the important economic aspects of the current microbial oil production are discussed.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of various useful chemicals from simple substrates using industrial microorganisms is becoming increasingly crucial to address the challenge of dwindling non-renewable resources. As the most common intermediate substrates in organisms, Coenzyme A (CoA) thioesters play a central role in the carbon chain elongation process of their products. As a result, numerous of chemicals can be synthesized by the iterative addition of various CoA thioester extender units at a given CoA thioester primer backbone. However, these elongation reactions and the product yields are still restricted due to the low enzymatic performance and supply of CoA thioesters. This review highlights the current protein and metabolic engineering strategies used to enhance the diversity and product yield by coupling different primers, extender units, enzymes, and termination pathways, in an attempt to provide a road map for producing a more diverse range of industrial chemicals.

Abstract
In general, promoters have significant influence on recombinant protein production. Herein, we compared the performance of actin (pACT), phosphoglycerate kinase (pPGK), and translational elongation factor (pTEF) promoters for driving the expression of fatty acid delta-6 (Δ6) desaturase from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus; Oni-fads2) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our results showed that by applying real-time RT-PCR, the highest level of Oni-fads2 mRNA was observed in S. cerevisiae carrying the expression vector driven by pTEF promoters. Exogenous substrate C18:2n-6 was used to determine Δ6 activity by quantitatively determining the C18:3n-6 product. The results showed that highest Δ6 desaturation was observed when using pTEF as a promoter. Recombinant S. cerevisiae cells expressing Oni-fads2 driven by pTEF were tested with the substrate C18:3n-3, and Δ6 desaturation efficiently converted C18:3n-3 to C18:4n-3. Furthermore, crude extract of recombinant yeast also exhibited Δ6 activity. Thus, recombinant S. cerevisiae cells expressing Oni-fads2 driven by the pTEF promoter have potential as a yeast factory for the sustainable production of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Degradation of crude oil by mixed cultures of bacteria isolated from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau and comparative analysis of metabolic mechanisms.

Abstract
This study investigates the biodegradation of crude oil by a mixed culture of bacteria isolated from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau using gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and the gravimetric method. The results showed that a mixed culture has a stronger ability to degrade hydrocarbon than pure cultures. Once both Nocardia soli Y48 and Rhodococcus erythropolis YF28-1 (8) were present in a culture, the culture demonstrated the highest crude oil removal efficiency of almost 100% after 10 days of incubation at 20 °C. Moreover, further analysis of the degradation mechanisms used by the above strains, which revealed utilization of different n-alkane substrates, indicated the diversity of evolution and variations in different strains, as well as the importance of multiple metabolic mechanisms for alkane degradation. Therefore, it is concluded that a mixed culture of Y48 and YF28-1 (8) strains can provide a more effective method for bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil in permafrost regions.
