Abstract
Co-fermentation performed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli or other microbes has been widely used in industrial fermentation. Meanwhile, the co-cultured microbes might regulate each other's metabolisms or cell behaviors including oxidative stress tolerance through secreting molecules. Here, results based on the co-culture system of S. cerevisiae and E. coli suggested the promoting effect of E. coli on the oxidative stress tolerance of S. cerevisiae cells. The co-cultured E. coli could enhance S. cerevisiae cell viability through improving its membrane stability and reducing the oxidized lipid level. Meanwhile, promoting effect of the co-cultured supernatant on the oxidative stress tolerance of S. cerevisiae illustrated by the supernatant substitution strategy suggested that secreted compounds contained in the co-cultured supernatant contributed to the higher oxidative stress tolerance of S. cerevisiae. The potential key regulatory metabolite (i.e., hexadecanoic acid) with high content difference between co-cultured supernatant and the pure-cultured S. cerevisiae supernatant was discovered by GC-MS-based metabolomics strategy. And exogenous addition of hexadecanoic acid did suggest its contribution to higher oxidative stress tolerance of S. cerevisiae. Results presented here would contribute to the understanding of the microbial interactions and provide the foundation for improving the efficiency of co-fermentation performed by S. cerevisiae and E. coli.

Microorganisms 2024; 12:992. [PMID: 38792821 PMCID: PMC11124419 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12050992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The Cunninghamella genus has been utilized for the production of PUFA-rich lipids. Therefore, we investigate the impact of plant oil supplementation in the culture medium (soybean oil, rice bran oil, and perilla oil), selected based on their different fatty acid predominant, on lipid production and fatty acid composition in C. elegans (TISTR 3370). All oils significantly boosted fungal growth, each influencing distinct patterns of lipid accumulation within the cells. The cells exhibited distinct patterns of lipid accumulation, forming intracellular lipid bodies, influenced by the different oils. Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) were found to be the most abundant, followed by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and saturated fatty acids (SFAs) in the fungal lipid cultures. Oleic acid was identified as the primary MUFA, while palmitic acid was the predominant SFA in perilla oil supplements. Remarkably, perilla oil supplement provided the highest total lipid production with arachidonic acid being exclusively detected. The percentage of PUFAs ranged from 12% in the control to 33% in soybean oil, 32% in rice bran oil, and 61% in perilla oil supplements. These findings offer valuable opportunities for advancing biotechnological applications in lipid production and customization, with implications for food and nutrition as well as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Abstract
The fatty acid transport protein (FATP) family is a group of proteins that are predicted to be components of specific fatty acid trafficking pathways. In mammalian systems, six different isoforms have been identified, which function in the import of exogenous fatty acids or in the activation of very long-chain fatty acids. This has led to controversy as to whether these proteins function as membrane-bound fatty acid transporters or as acyl-CoA synthetases, which activate long-chain fatty acids concomitant with transport. The yeast FATP orthologue, Fat1p, is a dual functional protein and is required for both the import of long-chain fatty acids and the activation of very long-chain fatty acids; these activities intrinsic to Fat1p are separable functions. To more precisely define the roles of the different mammalian isoforms in fatty acid trafficking, the six murine proteins (mmFATP1-6) were expressed and characterized in a genetically defined yeast strain, which cannot transport long-chain fatty acids and has reduced long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase activity (fat1Delta faa1Delta). Each isoform was evaluated for fatty acid transport, fatty acid activation (using C18:1, C20:4, and C24:0 as substrates), and accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids. Murine FATP1, -2, and -4 complemented the defects in fatty acid transport and very long-chain fatty acid activation associated with a deletion of the yeast FAT1 gene; mmFATP3, -5, and -6 did not complement the transport function even though each was localized to the yeast plasma membrane. Both mmFATP3 and -6 activated C20:4 and C20:4, while the expression of mmFATP5 did not substantially increase acyl-CoA synthetases activities using the substrates tested. These data support the conclusion that the different mmFATP isoforms play unique roles in fatty acid trafficking, including the transport of exogenous long-chain fatty acids.

Abstract
We have found that the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) undecanoic acid (11:0), 10-undecenoic acid (11:1 Delta 10), and lauric acid (12:0) can affect the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a dose-dependent manner. The principal effect was a longer lag phase in MCFA-containing medium, although higher concentrations of 11:1 Delta 10 inhibited growth. Their relative order of inhibitory action was 11:1 Delta 10>11:0>12:0. Cellular content with MCFA supplementation was dependent on the concentration and the particular species of fatty acid, with 12:0 showing the highest relative accumulation and 11:1 Delta 10 the lowest at all concentrations. We have isolated and characterized a mutant that is hypersensitive to MCFA supplementation and is unable to grow at the normally permissive condition of 1 mM 11:1 Delta 10. However, it does not appear to accumulate higher relative levels of the fed MCFA compared to wild-type cells. Complementation of the mutant revealed that the ERG4 gene, encoding the enzyme that catalyzes the last step in ergosterol biosynthesis, had been mutated. The fatty acid composition of the erg4 Delta mutant differs only slightly from wild-type cells, mainly involving an increase in the relative amount of 12:0. These results indicate that yeast require ergosterol for optimal growth on certain MCFAs. We discuss the role ergosterol may have in cells responding to exogenous MCFAs and in supporting optimal cell growth.

Abstract
Evidence is discussed for roles of cardiolipins in oxidative phosphorylation mechanisms that regulate State 4 respiration by returning ejected protons across and over bacterial and mitochondrial membrane phospholipids, and that regulate State 3 respiration through the relative contributions of proteins that transport protons, electrons and/or metabolites. The barrier properties of phospholipid bilayers support and regulate the slow proton leak that is the basis for State 4 respiration. Proton permeability is in the range 10(-3)-10(-4) cm s-1 in mitochondria and in protein-free membranes formed from extracted mitochondrial phospholipids or from stable synthetic phosphatidylcholines or phosphatidylethanolamines. The roles of cardiolipins in proton conductance in model phospholipid membrane systems need to be assessed in view of new findings by Hübner et al. [313]: saturated cardiolipins form bilayers whilst natural highly unsaturated cardiolipins form nonlamellar phases. Mitochondrial cardiolipins apparently participate in bilayers formed by phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines. It is not yet clear if cardiolipins themselves conduct protons back across the membrane according to their degree of fatty acyl saturation, and/or modulate proton conductance by phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines. Mitochondrial cardiolipins, especially those with high 18:2 acyl contents, strongly bind many carrier and enzyme proteins that are involved in oxidative phosphorylation, some of which contribute to regulation of State 3 respiration. The role of cardiolipins in biomembrane protein function has been examined by measuring retained phospholipids and phospholipid binding in purified proteins, and by reconstituting delipidated proteins. The reconstitution criterion for the significance of cardiolipin-protein interactions has been catalytical activity; proton-pumping and multiprotein interactions have yet to be correlated. Some proteins, e.g., cytochrome c oxidase are catalytically active when dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine replaces retained cardiolipins. Cardiolipin-protein interactions orient membrane proteins, matrix proteins, and on the outerface receptors, enzymes, and some leader peptides for import; activate enzymes or keep them inactive unless the inner membrane is disrupted; and modulate formation of nonbilayer HII-phases. The capacity of the proton-exchanging uncoupling protein to accelerate thermogenic respiration in brown adipose tissue mitochondria of cold-adapted animals is not apparently affected by the increased cardiolipin unsaturation; this protein seems to take over the protonophoric role of cardiolipins in other mitochondria. Many in vivo influences that affect proton leakage and carrier rates selectively alter cardiolipins in amount per mitochondrial phospholipids, in fatty acyl composition and perhaps in sidedness; other mitochondrial membrane phospholipids respond less or not at all.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The addition of unsaturated fatty acids to cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae significantly altered the microsomal lipid composition. Supplementation with either of the naturally occurring palmitoleic (16:1) or oleic (18:1) acids caused increased levels in membrane phospholipids and reduced levels of the complementary acid. Growth in the presence of equimolar quantities of 16:1 and 18:1 acids, however, produced a fatty acid composition similar to that found in unsupplemented cell membranes. Linoleic acid (18:2) was not found in S. cerevisiae grown under normal conditions. It was preferentially internalized and incorporated into microsomes, however, at levels exceeding 50% of the total fatty acid species. This resulted in an almost total loss of 16:1 and a reduction of 18:1 to 25% of its normal level. The delta-9 fatty acid desaturase, a microsomal enzyme that forms 16:1 and 18:1 from saturated acyl coenzyme A precursors, was affected by the presence of exogenous fatty acids. Enzyme activity toward the 16:0 coenzyme A substrate was elevated in microsomes from saturated-fatty-acid-supplemented cultures and sharply repressed following the addition of unsaturated fatty acids, including 18:2. Northern (RNA blot) and slot-blot analyses of mRNA encoded by the OLE1 gene, which appears to be the structural gene for the delta-9 desaturase, indicated that it was sharply reduced in unsaturated-fatty-acid-fed cells. These data suggest that a significant part of the regulation involves modulation of available transcripts.

Abstract
An unsaturated fatty acid-requiring mutant (KD 115) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows altered phospholipid composition, transport behavior, and physical properties of membrane lipids when grown in the presence of different cis- and trans-unsaturated fatty acids. There is an increase in phosphatidyl ethanolamine content and a concomitant decrease in phosphatidyl choline content in the cells supplemented with trans-unsaturated fatty acids. The affinity for uptake of L-leucine is higher in the cis-unsaturated fatty acid-supplemented cells compared with the trans-unsaturated fatty acid-supplemented cells. The temperature-dependence of L-leucine uptake bears a reasonably good correlation with the thermotropic behavior of the membrane lipids as studied by the steady-state fluorescence polarization technique. The present findings are discussed in light of the importance of the lipid environment in modulating membrane-associated functions.

Abstract
The lipid requirements of a human macrophagelike cell line were studied. The cells grew only about one generation in a medium supplemented with delipidated serum; during the growth the cholesterol content of the cells was depleted. Growth was restored by including in the medium serum lipids subjected to alkaline hydrolysis or cholesterol. The extent of growth was dependent on cholesterol concentration. No growth was obtained with 5-cholestene, 5-cholesten-3-one, cholesteryl chloride, coprostanol, beta-sitosterol, or stigmasterol. Very limited growth occurred with cholesterol methylether, epicholesterol, or beta-cholestanol. Therefore, for optimal growth of these cells there is a stringent requirement for the structural features of cholesterol, which include a 3-beta OH group, a delta 5-double bond, a trans ring A/B configuration, and freedom of the side chain from bulky groups. This stringency far exceeds what was previously reported for other cells. Of the six sterols that failed to support growth at all, five were incorporated into cells moderately to extensively. This suggests that assembly of a functional membrane is impaired when these sterols are used as substrates for growth.
