Liu CF, Zhang XF, Yu TL, Lee CL. Utilizing deep ocean water in yeast fermentation for enhanced mineral-rich biomass production and fermentative regulation by proteomics modulation. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31031. [PMID: 38778955 PMCID: PMC11109828 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Deep Ocean Water (DOW) is rich in minerals and serves as a natural source of nutrients. However, due to the inorganic nature of these minerals, cultivating yeast in DOW could aid in the fermentation process, and simultaneously, the yeast can assimilate the minerals from DOW, resulting in a mineral-enriched yeast biomass. Focusing on three DOW sources off the eastern coast of Taiwan (TT-1, HL-1, HL-2), we fermented various yeast strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of DOW on yeast growth, alcohol dehydrogenase activity, and the biological absorption of mineral ions by the yeast. Additionally, this research employs two-dimensional electrophoresis techniques to examine how the absorbed minerals influence the regulation of yeast proteins, thereby affecting biomass and metabolism. In the result, S. cerevisiae BCRC 21689 demonstrated a remarkable ability to bio-absorb minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and zinc from DOW, enhancing its growth and fermentation performance. Proteomic analysis revealed significant shifts in the expression of 21 proteins related to glycolytic and energy metabolism, alcohol metabolism, and growth regulation, all influenced by DOW's mineral-rich environment. This indicates that DOW's mineral content is a key factor in upregulating essential enzymes in glycolytic metabolism and alcohol dehydrogenase. An increase in proteins involved in synthesis and folding processes was also observed, leading to a substantial increase in yeast biomass. This study underscores the potential of DOW as a natural enhancer in yeast fermentation processes, enriching the yeast with diverse minerals and modulating proteomic expression to optimize yeast growth and fermentation.

Abstract
Deep sea water (DSW), as a noticeable natural resource, has been demonstrated to contain high levels of beneficial minerals and exert marked anti-diabetes effects. Epidemiological studies show that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is closely related to high danger of Alzheimer's disease (AD); moreover, Akt/GSK-3β signaling is the main underlying pathway that connects these two diseases. Besides, it has been demonstrated that minerals in DSW, such as Mg, Se, and Zn, could effectively treat cognitive deficits associated with AD. Herein, we first observed the protection of DSW against cognitive dysfunction in T2DM rats, then furtherly explored the neuroprotective mechanism in SH-SY5Y cell model. In T2DM rats, DSW obviously elevated the concentrations of elements Mg, V, Cr, Zn, and Se in brain and improved learning and memory dysfunction in behavior assays, including Morris water maze (MWM) and new object recognition (NOR). Western blot (WB) results demonstrated that DSW could stimulate PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling, arrest Tau hyperphosphorylation at serine (Ser) 396 and threonine (Thr)231, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In order to further confirm the mechanism, we employed wortmannin to inhibit PI3K in SH-SY5Y cells; results showed that pretreatment with wortmannin almost abolished DSW-induced decreases in phosphorylated Tau. Taken together, these data elucidated that DSW could improve Tau hyperphosphorylation and cognitive impairment, which were closely related with the stimulation of Akt/GSK-3β signaling, and the neuroprotective effects of DSW should be contributed to the synergistic effects of major and trace elements in it, such as Mg, V, Cr, Zn, and Se. These experimental evidence indicated that DSW may be explored as natural neuroprotective food for the prevention and treatment of AD.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by continuous accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) in the brain. Deep ocean water (DOW) with rich inorganic salts and minerals was proven to promote fungi growth and metabolism. Cordyceps cicada, a functional food fungus, can produce higher anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds including adenosine, polysaccharide, and N(6)-(2-Hydroxyethyl) adenosine (HEA). This study used DOW as the culture water of C. cicadae NTTU 868 for producing DOW-cultured C. cicadae (DCC), and further investigated the effects and mechanisms on improving the memory deficit and repressing risk factors expressions in Aβ40 and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Alzheimer’s disease rats model. In the results, DCC including mycelium and filtrate had adenosine, HEA, polysaccharide, and intracellular Mg2+ after fermentation with DOW. DCC had more effect on the improvement of memory deficit because it suppressed Aβ40 and streptozotocin (STZ) infusion caused BACE, pro-inflammatory factors expressions, and Aβ40 accumulation by increasing sRAGE expression in the brain. Furthermore, DCC enhanced the MAGT1 expression due to high organic magnesium, which can reverse Aβ40-induced cortex magnesium deficiency and further repress Aβ40 accumulation.

Abstract
As one of the world's five terminally ills, tumours can cause important genetic dysfunction. However, some current medicines for tumours usually have strong toxic side effects and are prone to drug resistance. Studies have found that farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) extracted from natural materials have a good inhibiting ability on tumours with fewer side effects. This article describes several FTIs extracted from natural materials and clarifies the current research progress, which provides a new choice for the treatment of tumours.

Metals of Deep Ocean Water Increase the Anti-Adipogenesis Effect of Monascus-Fermented Product via Modulating the Monascin and Ankaflavin Production. Mar Drugs 2016; 14:md14060106.

Abstract
Deep ocean water (DOW) obtained from a depth of more than 200 m includes abundant nutrients and minerals. DOW was proven to positively increase monascin (MS) and ankaflavin (AK) production and the anti-adipogenesis effect of Monascus-fermented red mold dioscorea (RMD). However, the influences that the major metals in DOW have on Monascus secondary metabolite biosynthesis and anti-adipogenesis remain unknown. Therefore, the major metals in DOW were used as the culture water to produce RMD. The secondary metabolites production and anti-adipogenesis effect of RMD cultured with various individual metal waters were investigated. In the results, the addition of water with Mg, Ca, Zn, and Fe increased MS and AK production and inhibited mycotoxin citrinin (CT). However, the positive influence may be contributed to the regulation of pigment biosynthesis. Furthermore, in the results of cell testing, higher lipogenesis inhibition was seen in the treatments of various ethanol extracts of RMD cultured with water containing Mg, K, Zn, and Fe than in those of RMD cultured with ultra-pure water. In conclusion, various individual metals resulted in different effects on MS and AK productions as well as the anti-adipogenesis effect of RMD, but the specific metals contained in DOW may cause synergistic or comprehensive effects that increase the significantly positive influence.
