Abstract
The Kluyveromyces marxianus yeast recently has gained considerable attention due to its applicability in high-value-added product manufacturing. In order to intensify the biosynthesis rate of a target product, reaching high biomass concentrations in the reaction medium is mandatory. Fed-batch processes are an attractive and efficient way how to achieve high cell densities. However, depending on the physiology of the particular microbial strain, an optimal media composition should be used to avoid by-product synthesis and, subsequently, a decrease in overall process effi-ciency. Thus, the aim of the present study was to optimise the synthetic growth medium and feeding solution compositions (in terms of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, magnesium, and calcium concentrations) for high cell density K. marxianus fed‑batch cultivations. Additionally, the biomass yields from the vitamin mixture and other macro/microelements were identified. A model predictive control algorithm was successfully applied for a fed-batch cultivation control. Biomass growth and substrate consumption kinetics were compared with the mathematical model predictions. Finally, 2‑phenylethanol biosynthesis was induced and its productivity was estimated. The determined optimal macronutrient ratio for K. marxianus biomass growth was identified as C:N:P = 1:0.07:0.011. The maximal attained yeast biomass concentration was close to 70 g·L-1 and the 2-PE biosynthesis rate was 0.372 g·L−1·h−1, with a yield of 74% from 2-phenylalanine.

Labuschagne P, Divol B. Thiamine: a key nutrient for yeasts during wine alcoholic fermentation. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:953-973. [PMID: 33404836 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-11080-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 12/18/2020] [Accepted: 12/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Alcoholic fermentation is a crucial step of winemaking, during which yeasts convert sugars to alcohol and also produce or biotransform numerous flavour compounds. In this context, nutrients are essential compounds to support yeast growth and ultimately ensure complete fermentation, as well as optimized production of flavour compounds over that of off-flavour compounds. In particular, the vitamin thiamine not only plays an essential cofactor role for several enzymes involved in various metabolic pathways, including those leading to the production of wine-relevant flavour compounds, but also aids yeast survival via thiamine-dependent stress protection functions. Most yeast species are able to both assimilate exogenous thiamine into the cell and synthesize thiamine de novo. However, the mechanism and level of thiamine accumulation depend on several factors. This review provides an in-depth overview of thiamine utilization and metabolism in the model yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as well as the current knowledge on (1) the intracellular functions of thiamine, (2) the balance between and regulation of uptake and synthesis of thiamine and (3) the multitude of factors influencing thiamine availability and utilization. For the latter, a particular emphasis is placed on conditions occurring during wine fermentation. The adequacy of thiamine concentration in grape must to ensure successful fermentation is discussed together with the effect of thiamine concentration on fermentation kinetics and on wine sensory properties. This knowledge may serve as a resource to optimise thiamine concentrations for optimal industrial application of yeasts. KEY POINTS: • Thiamine uptake is preferred over biosynthesis and is transcriptionally repressed. • Multiple factors affect thiamine synthesis, availability and uptake for wine yeast. • Thiamine availability impacts fermentation kinetics and wine's sensory properties.

Abstract
Glutamate dehydrogenases (GDHs) are fundamental to cellular nitrogen and energy balance. Yet little is known about these enzymes in the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. The YALI0F17820g and YALI0E09603g genes, encoding potential GDH enzymes in this organism, were examined. Heterologous expression in gdh-null Saccharomyces cerevisiae and examination of Y. lipolytica strains carrying gene deletions demonstrate that YALI0F17820g (ylGDH1) encodes a NADP-dependent GDH whereas YALI0E09603g (ylGDH2) encodes a NAD-dependent GDH enzyme. The activity encoded by these two genes accounts for all measurable GDH activity in Y. lipolytica. Levels of the two enzyme activities are comparable during logarithmic growth on rich medium, but the NADP-ylGDH1p enzyme activity is most highly expressed in stationary and nitrogen starved cells by threefold to 12-fold. Replacement of ammonia with glutamate causes a decrease in NADP-ylGdh1p activity, whereas NAD-ylGdh2p activity is increased. When glutamate is both carbon and nitrogen sources, the activity of NAD-ylGDH2p becomes dominant up to 18-fold compared with that of NADP-ylGDH1p. Gene deletion followed by growth on different carbon and nitrogen sources shows that NADP-ylGdh1p is required for efficient nitrogen assimilation whereas NAD-ylGdh2p plays a role in nitrogen and carbon utilization from glutamate. Overexpression experiments demonstrate that ylGDH1 and ylGDH2 are not interchangeable. These studies provide a vital basis for future consideration of how these enzymes function to facilitate energy and nitrogen homeostasis in Y. lipolytica.

Abstract
Flor velum yeast growth activators during biological aging are currently unknown. In this sense, this research focuses on the use of bee pollen as a flor velum activator. Bee pollen influence on viable yeast development, surface hydrophobicity, and yeast assimilable nitrogen has already been studied. Additionally, bee pollen effects on the main compounds related to flor yeast metabolism and wine sensory characteristics have been evaluated. “Fino” (Sherry) wine was supplemented with bee pollen using six different doses ranging from 0.1 to 20 g/L. Its addition in a dose equal or greater than 0.25 g/L can be an effective flor velum activator, increasing yeast populations and its buoyancy due to its content of yeast assimilable nitrogen and fatty acids. Except for the 20 g/L dose, pollen did not induce any significant effect on flor velum metabolism, physicochemical parameters, organic acids, major volatile compounds, or glycerol. Sensory analysis showed that low bee pollen doses increase wine’s biological aging attributes, obtaining the highest score from the tasting panel. Multiflora bee pollen could be a natural oenological tool to enhance flor velum development and wine sensory qualities. This study confirms association between the bee pollen dose applied and the flor velum growth rate. The addition of bee pollen could help winemakers to accelerate or reimplant flor velum in biologically aged wines.

Abstract
Phylogenetic analysis of class III transaminases in the budding yeasts Lachancea kluyveri, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Scheffersomyces stipitis identified a hitherto uncharacterised Sch. stipitis transaminase encoded by the PICST_54153 gene, which clustered with previously described γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) and β-alanine transaminases. Deletion of the PICST_54153 gene in Sch. stipitis resulted in a complete loss in the utilisation of β-alanine and β-ureidopropionic acid as nitrogen sources, while growth on 1,3-diaminopropane displayed a significant lag phase compared to the wild-type control. It was therefore concluded that the Sch. stipitis PICST_54153 gene likely encodes a β-alanine transaminase. However, minor growth defects when 1,4-diaminobutane or 1,5-diaminopentane was provided as the nitrogen source suggested that the Picst_54153 transaminase may also participate in the catabolism of other diamine-derived ω-amino acids. Unexpectedly, the ∆picst_54153 deletion mutant failed to grow on solid minimal medium in the presence of 5 mM β-alanine even if a preferred nitrogen source was provided.

Abstract
Glycation reactions (Maillard reactions) during the malting and brewing processes are important for the development of the characteristic color and flavor of beer. Recently, free and protein-bound Maillard reaction products (MRPs) such as pyrraline, formyline, and maltosine were found in beer. Furthermore, these amino acid derivatives are metabolized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae via the Ehrlich pathway. In this study, a method was developed for quantitation of individual Ehrlich intermediates derived from pyrraline, formyline, and maltosine. Following synthesis of the corresponding reference material, the MRP-derived new Ehrlich alcohols pyrralinol (up to 207 μg/L), formylinol (up to 50 μg/L), and maltosinol (up to 6.9 μg/L) were quantitated for the first time in commercial beer samples by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. This is equivalent to ca. 20-40% of the concentrations of the parent glycated amino acids. The metabolites were almost absent from alcohol-free beers and malt-based beverages. Two previously unknown valine-derived pyrrole derivatives were characterized and qualitatively identified in beer. The metabolites investigated represent new process-induced alkaloids that may influence brewing yeast performance due to structural similarities to quorum sensing and metal-binding molecules.

Abstract
There is little information about Kazachstania slooffiae which dominates among other yeasts in the pigs' intestine. Therefore, the aims of this study were to characterise the yeast cell contents and to investigate which nitrogen sources, organic acids and alcohols may be utilised or produced by this species. The results showed that, K. slooffiae could use urea, ammonium sulphate, peptides and single amino acids and produce thereby ethanol and formic acid. However, this yeast did not metabolise amino acids, lactic, butyric, propionic and acetic acids as sole carbon source. Using a global metabolite profiling approach employing gas chromatography and high-resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, was found that the amount of peptides and dehydroascorbic acid considerably increased in the fermentation residues after yeast cultivation. It is noteworthy that the cells of K. slooffiae had higher contents of nitrogen and total amino acids (especially lysine) than the cells of nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This study indicates that due to potential production of peptides and formic acid in the intestinal tract, K. slooffiae might have an impact on the gut health. Moreover, from a nutritional standpoint, the cells of this yeast can be a good source of protein with useful amino acid composition for animal.

Abstract
Amino acids constitute the key sources of nitrogen for growth of Candida albicans. In order to survive inside the host in different and rapidly changing environments, this fungus must be able to adapt via its expression of genes for amino acid metabolism. We analysed the ARO8, ARO9, YER152C, and BNA3 genes with regards to their role in the nutritional flexibility of C. albicans. CaAro8p is undoubtedly the most versatile enzyme among the aminotransferases investigated. It is involved in the catabolism of histidine, lysine, and aromatic amino acids as well as in l-Lys, Phe and Tyr biosynthesis. CaAro9p participates in the catabolism of aromatic amino acids and lysine at high concentrations of these compounds, with no biosynthetic role. Conversely, the CaYer152Cp catalytic potential for aromatic amino acid catabolism observed in vitro appears to be of little importance in vivo. Neither biosynthetic nor catabolic roles of CaBan3p were observed for any proteinogenic amino acid. Finally, none of the analysed aminotransferases was solely responsible for the catabolism of a single particular amino acid or its biosynthesis.

Abstract
The catabolism of choline as a source of nitrogen in budding yeasts is thought to proceed via the intermediates trimethylamine, dimethylamine and methylamine before the release of ammonia. The present study investigated the utilisation of choline and its downstream intermediates as nitrogen sources in the yeast Scheffersomyces stipitis using a reverse genetics approach. Six genes (AMO1, AMO2, SFA1, FGH1, PICST_49761, PICST_63000) that have previously been predicted to be directly or indirectly involved in the catabolism of methylated amines were individually deleted. The growth of each deletion mutant was assayed on minimal media with methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine or choline as the sole nitrogen source. The two amine oxidase-encoding genes AMO1 and AMO2 appeared to be functionally redundant for growth on methylated amines as both deletion mutants displayed growth on all nitrogen sources tested. However, deletion of AMO1 resulted in a pronounced growth lag on all four methylated amines while deletion of AMO2 only caused a growth lag when methylamine was the sole nitrogen source. The glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase-encoding gene SFA1 was found to be absolutely essential for growth on all methylated amines tested while deletion of the S-formylglutathione hydrolase gene FGH1 caused a pronounced growth lag on dimethylamine, trimethylamine and choline. The putative cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-encoding genes PICST_49761 and PICST_63000 were considered likely candidates for demethylation of di- and trimethylamine but produced no discernable phenotype on any of the tested nitrogen sources when deleted. This study revealed notable instances of genetic redundancies in the choline catabolic pathway, which are discussed.

Abstract
Zinc-dependent medium chain reductase from Candida parapsilosis can be used in the reduction of carbonyl compounds to pharmacologically important chiral secondary alcohols. To date, the nomenclature of cpADH5 is differing (CPCR2/RCR/SADH) in the literature, and its natural substrate is not known. In this study, we utilized a substrate docking based virtual screening method combined with KEGG, MetaCyc pathway, and Candida genome databases search for the discovery of natural substrates of cpADH5. The virtual screening of 7834 carbonyl compounds from the ZINC database provided 94 aldehydes or methyl/ethyl ketones as putative carbonyl substrates. Out of which, 52 carbonyl substrates of cpADH5 with catalytically active docking pose were identified by employing mechanism based substrate docking protocol. Comparison of the virtual screening results with KEGG, MetaCyc database search, and Candida genome pathway analysis suggest that cpADH5 might be involved in the Ehrlich pathway (reduction of fusel aldehydes in leucine, isoleucine, and valine degradation). Our QM/MM calculations and experimental activity measurements affirmed that butyraldehyde substrates are the potential natural substrates of cpADH5, suggesting a carbonyl reductase role for this enzyme in butyraldehyde reduction in aliphatic amino acid degradation pathways. Phylogenetic tree analysis of known ADHs from Candida albicans shows that cpADH5 is close to caADH5. We therefore propose, according to the experimental substrate identification and sequence similarity, the common name butyraldehyde dehydrogenase cpADH5 for Candida parapsilosis CPCR2/RCR/SADH.

Abstract
Quercetins, vitisin A and hydroxytyrosol are phenolic compounds possessing several positive properties to human health. This paper refers on the possible effects of two wine yeast species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Starmerella bacillaris (synonym Candida zemplinina) on the accumulation of these compounds in experimental Sangiovese wines. A single lot of Sangiovese grapes was fermented by S. cerevisiae alone or by sequential inoculum of C. zemplinina and S. cerevisiae under two aeration conditions. The accumulation of quercetin and its glycosides resulted only influenced by must aeration. However, yeast species occurring in the fermentative process affected the relative abundances among the different forms of quercetin. Vitisin A contents were higher in wines produced in the presence of C. zemplinina. Finally, higher concentrations of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol were found in wines produced by S. cerevisiae alone under non-aerated condition. The fermentation of different Sangiovese grape musts carried out by the assayed S. cerevisiae strain pointed out that slow fermentation kinetics lead to higher levels of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol. The study underlines the role of yeast species in determining the accumulation of bioactive compounds in Sangiovese wine.

Abstract
Sixteen yeasts with sequenced genomes belonging to the ascomycete subphyla Saccharomycotina and Taphrinomycotina were assayed for their ability to utilize a variety of primary, secondary, tertiary and quartenary aliphatic amines as nitrogen sources. The results support a previously proposed pathway of quaternary amine catabolism whereby glycine betaine is first converted into choline, which is then cleaved to release trimethylamine, followed by stepwise demethylation of trimethylamine to release free ammonia. There were only a few instances of utilization of N-methylated glycine species (sarcosine and N,N-dimethylglycine), which suggests that this pathway is not intact in any of the species tested. The ability to utilize choline as a sole nitrogen source correlated strongly with the presence of a putative Rieske non-haem iron protein homologous to bacterial ring-hydroxylating oxygenases and plant choline monooxygenases. Deletion of the gene encoding the Rieske non-haem iron protein in the yeast Scheffersomyces stipitis abolished its ability to utilize choline as the sole nitrogen source, but did not affect its ability to use methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, ethanolamine or glycine as nitrogen sources. The gene was named CMO1 for putative choline monooxygenase 1. A bioinformatic survey of eukaryotic genomes showed that CMO1 homologues are found throughout the eukaryotic domain.

Abstract
The ability to acquire nutrients during infections is an important attribute in microbial pathogenesis. Amino acids are a valuable source of nitrogen if they can be degraded by the infecting organism. In this work, we analyzed histidine utilization in the fungal pathogen of humans Candida glabrata. Hemiascomycete fungi, like C. glabrata or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, possess no gene coding for a histidine ammonia-lyase, which catalyzes the first step of a major histidine degradation pathway in most other organisms. We show that C. glabrata instead initializes histidine degradation via the aromatic amino acid aminotransferase Aro8. Although ARO8 is also present in S. cerevisiae and is induced by extracellular histidine, the yeast cannot use histidine as its sole nitrogen source, possibly due to growth inhibition by a downstream degradation product. Furthermore, C. glabrata relies only on Aro8 for phenylalanine and tryptophan utilization, since ARO8, but not its homologue ARO9, was transcriptionally activated in the presence of these amino acids. Accordingly, an ARO9 deletion had no effect on growth with aromatic amino acids. In contrast, in S. cerevisiae, ARO9 is strongly induced by tryptophan and is known to support growth on aromatic amino acids. Differences in the genomic structure of the ARO9 gene between C. glabrata and S. cerevisiae indicate a possible disruption in the regulatory upstream region. Thus, we show that, in contrast to S. cerevisiae, C. glabrata has adapted to use histidine as a sole source of nitrogen and that the aromatic amino acid aminotransferase Aro8, but not Aro9, is the enzyme required for this process.

Abstract
The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine represent essential sources of high value natural aromatic compounds for human health and industry. Depending on the organism, alternative routes exist for their synthesis. Phenylalanine and tyrosine are synthesized either via phenylpyruvate/4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate or via arogenate. In arogenate-competent microorganisms, an aminotransferase is required for the transamination of prephenate into arogenate, but the identity of the genes is still unknown. We present here the first identification of prephenate aminotransferases (PATs) in seven arogenate-competent microorganisms and the discovery that PAT activity is provided by three different classes of aminotransferase, which belong to two different fold types of pyridoxal phosphate enzymes: an aspartate aminotransferase subgroup 1β in tested α- and β-proteobacteria, a branched-chain aminotransferase in tested cyanobacteria, and an N-succinyldiaminopimelate aminotransferase in tested actinobacteria and in the β-proteobacterium Nitrosomonas europaea. Recombinant PAT enzymes exhibit high activity toward prephenate, indicating that the corresponding genes encode bona fide PAT. PAT functionality was acquired without other modification of substrate specificity and is not a general catalytic property of the three classes of aminotransferases.

Abstract
This is the first report on the ability of Yarrowia lipolytica strains to produce 2-phenylethanol (2-PE), which has not been identified for this species to date. 2-PE is a valuable aroma compound of rose-like odor. Its isolation from the other than microbial source—rose petals, is limited by the substrate availability. Thus, this chemical compound constitutes an attractive product for biotechnological conversions. To date, the ability to produce 2-PE has been described for such genera as Saccharomyces sp., Kluyveromyces sp., Geotrichum sp., and Pichia sp. This report provides evidence that Y. lipolytica is a novel 2-PE producer. Moreover, the titers of 2-PE obtained in Y. lipolytica NCYC3825 non-optimized cultures, nearly 2 g/l, are competitive to titers obtained by the other species.

Abstract
Sherry wines are among the most distinctive Spanish wines, mainly produced in the southern Spain (particularly in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles), using traditional practices aimed at ensuring uniform quality and characteristics over time. Several types of Sherry wines are produced depending on the winemaking conditions. Fino-type wines are characterized by a dynamic biological aging, in which a layer of yeast grows in the surface of the wine (flor velum). On the contrary, Oloroso-type sherry wines are subjected to an oxidative aging, while Amontillado-type Sherries are produced by combining both production systems. Therefore, these wines undergo different biological and chemical processes that affect distinctively their chemical composition and their aroma and sensory characteristics. Through this review, the main aspects involved in the winemaking technology of sherry wines, and the latest scientific findings related to the microbiota of the flor film and other aspects associated to the changes in their chemical and sensory composition during aging will be revised. Some new trends in sherry wine technology focused on the acceleration of the biological aging or the use of organic grapes will be also considered.

Abstract
The numerous uses of the grapevine fruit, especially for wine and beverages, have made it one of the most important plants worldwide. The phytochemistry of grapevine is rich in a wide range of compounds. Many of them are renowned for their numerous medicinal uses. The production of grapevine metabolites is highly conditioned by many factors like environment or pathogen attack. Some grapevine phytoalexins have gained a great deal of attention due to their antimicrobial activities, being also involved in the induction of resistance in grapevine against those pathogens. Meanwhile grapevine biotechnology is still evolving, thanks to the technological advance of modern science, and biotechnologists are making huge efforts to produce grapevine cultivars of desired characteristics. In this paper, important metabolites from grapevine and grape derived products like wine will be reviewed with their health promoting effects and their role against certain stress factors in grapevine physiology.

Abstract
Pigments contribute to the pathogenicity of many fungi, mainly by protecting fungal cells from host defence activities. Here, we have dissected the biosynthetic pathway of a tryptophan-derived pigment of the human pathogen Candida glabrata, identified key genes involved in pigment production and have begun to elucidate the possible biological function of the pigment. Using transcriptional analyses and a transposon insertion library, we have identified genes associated with pigment production. Targeted deletion mutants revealed that the pigment is a by-product of the Ehrlich pathway of tryptophan degradation: a mutant lacking a tryptophan-upregulated aromatic aminotransferase (Aro8) displayed significantly reduced pigmentation and a recombinantly expressed version of this protein was sufficient for pigment production in vitro. Pigment production is tightly regulated as the synthesis is affected by the presence of alternative nitrogen sources, carbon sources, cyclic AMP and oxygen. Growth of C. glabrata on pigment inducing medium leads to an increased resistance to hydrogen peroxide, an effect which was not observed with a mutant defective in pigmentation. Furthermore, pigmented yeast cells had a higher survival rate when exposed to human neutrophils and caused increased damage in a monolayer model of human epithelia, indicating a possible role of pigmentation during interactions with host cells.

Abstract
A Shiraz must with low yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) was supplemented with two concentrations of diammonium phosphate (DAP) and then fermented with maceration on grape skins. The nonvolatile, volatile, and color composition of the final wines were investigated. Ethanol and residual sugars were not affected by DAP supplementation, while glycerol, SO 2, and residual YAN increased and acetic acid decreased. DAP-supplemented treatments gave rise to higher concentrations of acetates, fatty acids, and fatty acid ethyl esters but lower concentrations of branched-chain fatty acids and their ethyl esters. No major difference between treatments was observed for higher alcohols, monoterpenes, norisoprenoids, and low-molecular-weight sulfur compounds. DAP-supplemented fermentations resulted in wines with higher concentrations of malvidin-3-glucoside, higher color intensity, and altered color tonality. Model aging studies indicated that higher concentrations of esters are still present in wines from the DAP-treated fermentations after aging. DAP supplementation also resulted in increased concentrations of dimethyl sulfide after model aging. It can be concluded that DAP treatment of a low YAN must fermented by maceration on skins can significantly affect wine color, aroma, and flavor.

Abstract
Copper amine oxidases (CAOs) have been proposed to be involved in the metabolism of xenobiotic and biogenic amines. The requirement for copper is absolute for their activity. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, cao1(+) and cao2(+) genes are predicted to encode members of the CAO family. While both genes are expressed in wild-type cells, we determined that the expression of only cao1(+) but not cao2(+) results in the production of an active enzyme. Site-directed mutagenesis identified three histidine residues within the C-terminal region of Cao1 that are necessary for amine oxidase activity. By use of a cao1(+)-GFP allele that retained wild-type function, Cao1-GFP was localized in the cytosol (GFP is green fluorescent protein). Under copper-limiting conditions, disruption of ctr4(+), ctr5(+), and cuf1(+) produced a defect in amine oxidase activity, indicating that a functionally active Cao1 requires Ctr4/5-mediated copper transport and the transcription factor Cuf1. Likewise, atx1 null cells exhibited substantially decreased levels of amine oxidase activity. In contrast, deletion of ccc2, cox17, and pccs had no significant effect on Cao1 activity. Residual amine oxidase activity in cells lacking atx1(+) can be restored to normal levels by returning an atx1(+) allele, underscoring the critical importance of the presence of Atx1 in cells. Using two-hybrid analysis, we demonstrated that Cao1 physically interacts with Atx1 and that this association is comparable to that of Atx1 with the N-terminal region of Ccc2. Collectively, these results describe the first example of the ability of Atx1 to act as a copper carrier for a molecule other than Ccc2 and its critical role in delivering copper to Cao1.

Abstract
Mousy off-flavor is an insidious and economically disastrous microbiologically derived spoilage characteristic of wine and other fermented beverages. Tainted wines are rendered unpalatable and there is currently no satisfactory procedure for removal of the off-flavor. Here we report the confirmation of that both d- and l-lysine can act as a precursor for the formation of mousy off-flavor N-heterocycles. Further, through the use of stable isotope feeding experiments, we could establish that a pentylamine group from lysine is incorporated into the piperideine moiety of two off-flavor N-heterocycles. A biochemical pathway for the formation of mousy off-flavor compounds is proposed.

Abstract
Aerobic, glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown with six different nitrogen sources were subjected to transcriptome analysis. The use of chemostats enabled an analysis of nitrogen-source-dependent transcriptional regulation at a fixed specific growth rate. A selection of preferred (ammonium and asparagine) and nonpreferred (leucine, phenylalanine, methionine and proline) nitrogen sources was investigated. For each nitrogen source, distinct sets of genes were induced or repressed relative to the other five nitrogen sources. In total, 131 such 'signature transcripts' were identified in this study. In addition to signature transcripts, genes were identified that showed a transcriptional coresponse to two or more of the six nitrogen sources. For example, 33 genes were transcriptionally upregulated in leucine-grown, phenylalanine-grown and methionine-grown cultures; this was partly attributed to the involvement of common enzymes in the dissimilation of these amino acids. In addition to specific transcriptional responses elicited by individual nitrogen sources, their impact on global regulatory mechanisms such as nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR) were monitored. NCR-sensitive gene expression in the chemostat cultures showed that ammonium and asparagine were 'rich' nitrogen sources. By this criterion, leucine, proline and methionine were 'poor' nitrogen sources, and phenylalanine showed an 'intermediate' NCR response.

Abstract
Copper amine oxidases (CAOs) are found in almost every living kingdom. Although Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the few yeast species that lacks an endogenous CAO, heterologous gene expression of CAOs from other organisms produces a functional enzyme. To begin to characterize their function and mechanisms of copper acquisition, two putative cao(+) genes from Schizosaccharomyces pombe were expressed in S. cerevisiae. Expression of spao1(+) resulted in the production of an active enzyme capable of catalysing the oxidative deamination of primary amines. On the other hand, expression of spao2(+) failed to produce an active CAO. Using a functional spao1(+)-GFP fusion allele, the SPAO1 protein was localized in the cytosol. Under copper-limiting conditions, yeast cells harbouring deletions of the MAC1, CTR1 and CTR3 genes were defective in amine oxidase activity. Likewise, atx1Delta null cells exhibited no CAO activity, while ccc2Delta mutant cells exhibited decreased levels of amine oxidase activity, and mutations in cox17Delta and ccs1Delta did not cause any defects in this activity. Copper-deprived S. cerevisiae cells expressing spao1(+) required a functional atx1(+) gene for growth on minimal medium containing ethylamine as the sole nitrogen source. Under these conditions, the inability of the atx1Delta cells to utilize ethylamine correlated with the lack of SPAO1 activity, in spite of the efficient expression of the protein. Cells carrying a disrupted ccc2Delta allele exhibited only weak growth on ethylamine medium containing a copper chelator. The results of these studies reveal that expression of the heterologous spao1(+) gene in S. cerevisiae is required for its growth in medium containing ethylamine as the sole nitrogen source, and that expression of an active Schiz. pombe SPAO1 protein in S. cerevisiae depends on the acquisition of copper through the high-affinity copper transporters Ctr1 and Ctr3, and the copper chaperone Atx1.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae can use a broad range of compounds as sole nitrogen source. Many amino acids, such as leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and methionine, are utilized through the Ehrlich pathway. The fusel acids and alcohols produced from this pathway, along with their derived esters, are important contributors to beer and wine flavor. It is unknown how these compounds are exported from the cell. Analysis of nitrogen-source-dependent transcript profiles via microarray analysis of glucose-limited, aerobic chemostat cultures revealed a common upregulation of PDR12 in cultures grown with leucine, methionine or phenylalanine as sole nitrogen source. PDR12 encodes an ABC transporter involved in weak-organic-acid resistance, which has hitherto been studied in the context of resistance to exogenous organic acids. The hypothesis that PDR12 is involved in export of natural products of amino acid catabolism was evaluated by analyzing the phenotype of null mutants in PDR12 or in WAR1, its positive transcriptional regulator. The hypersensitivity of the pdr12Delta and war1Delta strains for some of these compounds indicates that Pdr12p is involved in export of the fusel acids, but not the fusel alcohols derived from leucine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine and tryptophan.

Abstract
Aerobic, glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK113-7D were grown with different nitrogen sources. Cultures grown with phenylalanine, leucine, or methionine as a nitrogen source contained high levels of the corresponding fusel alcohols and organic acids, indicating activity of the Ehrlich pathway. Also, fusel alcohols derived from the other two amino acids were detected in the supernatant, suggesting the involvement of a common enzyme activity. Transcript level analysis revealed that among the five thiamine-pyrophospate-dependent decarboxylases (PDC1, PDC5, PDC6, ARO10, and THI3), only ARO10 was transcriptionally up-regulated when phenylalanine, leucine, or methionine was used as a nitrogen source compared to growth on ammonia, proline, and asparagine. Moreover, 2-oxo acid decarboxylase activity measured in cell extract from CEN.PK113-7D grown with phenylalanine, methionine, or leucine displayed similar broad-substrate 2-oxo acid decarboxylase activity. Constitutive expression of ARO10 in ethanol-limited chemostat cultures in a strain lacking the five thiamine-pyrophosphate-dependent decarboxylases, grown with ammonia as a nitrogen source, led to a measurable decarboxylase activity with phenylalanine-, leucine-, and methionine-derived 2-oxo acids. Moreover, even with ammonia as the nitrogen source, these cultures produced significant amounts of the corresponding fusel alcohols. Nonetheless, the constitutive expression of ARO10 in an isogenic wild-type strain grown in a glucose-limited chemostat with ammonia did not lead to any 2-oxo acid decarboxylase activity. Furthermore, even when ARO10 was constitutively expressed, growth with phenylalanine as the nitrogen source led to increased decarboxylase activities in cell extracts. The results reported here indicate the involvement of posttranscriptional regulation and/or a second protein in the ARO10-dependent, broad-substrate-specificity decarboxylase activity.

Abstract
The catabolism of phenylalanine to 2-phenylethanol and of tryptophan to tryptophol were studied by (13)C NMR spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Phenylalanine and tryptophan are first deaminated (to 3-phenylpyruvate and 3-indolepyruvate, respectively) and then decarboxylated. This decarboxylation can be effected by any of Pdc1p, Pdc5p, Pdc6p, or Ydr380wp; Ydl080cp has no role in the catabolism of either amino acid. We also report that in leucine catabolism Ydr380wp is the minor decarboxylase. Hence, all amino acid catabolic pathways studied to date use a subtly different spectrum of decarboxylases from the five-membered family that comprises Pdc1p, Pdc5p, Pdc6p, Ydl080cp, and Ydr380wp. Using strains containing all possible combinations of mutations affecting the seven AAD genes (putative aryl alcohol dehydrogenases), five ADH genes, and SFA1, showed that the final step of amino acid catabolism (conversion of an aldehyde to a long chain or complex alcohol) can be accomplished by any one of the ethanol dehydrogenases (Adh1p, Adh2p, Adh3p, Adh4p, Adh5p) or by Sfa1p (formaldehyde dehydrogenase.)

Abstract
Kluyveromyces marxianus has a high potential for industrial production of aroma compounds, such as 2-phenylethanol, which is derived in a bioconversion from L-phenylalanine. In the present work the product yield of K. marxianus in batch cultivation was estimated as 0.65 mol 2-phenylethanol/mol L-phenylalanine and thus significantly below the theoretical optimum of 1 mol/mol. By a comprehensive approach of stoichiometric balancing and GC-MS analysis of various substrates and products of K. marxianus a detailed insight into its metabolism was gained. For this purpose ring-labelled ((13)C(6)) L-phenylalanine and naturally labelled glucose were applied as substrates in tracer studies in batch culture. The produced aroma compounds 2-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethylacetate stem exclusively from the supplied L-phenylalanine, whereas glucose was not converted into these products because of efficient feed-back inhibition of prephenate dehydratase in the L-phenylalanine biosynthetic pathway. It could be further shown that the supplied L-phenylalanine completely covers the anabolic cellular demand for this amino acid. Quantification of (13)CO(2) in the exhaust gas provided clear evidence for catabolic breakdown of L-phenylalanine during cultivation. Metabolic balancing around the pool of free intracellular L-phenylalanine revealed a significant loss of L-phenylalanine into catabolic and anabolic pathways. While 73.3% of L-phenylalanine was converted into 2-phenylethanol or 2-phenylethylacetate, 22.4% was catabolized through the cinnamate pathway and 4.3% was directed towards protein biosynthesis. Catabolic breakdown of L-phenylalanine via hydroxylation to L-tyrosine could be excluded. In addition to an insight into metabolic functioning and regulation of 2-phenylethanol-producing K. marxianus, the approach presented here provides important information on potential targets for genetic optimization of 2-phenylethanol-producing yeasts.

Abstract
The structural complexity of the nitrogen sources strongly affects biomass production and secretion of hydrolytic enzymes in filamentous fungi. Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus nidulans were grown in media containing glucose or starch, and supplemented with a nitrogen source varying from a single ammonium salt (ammonium sulfate) to free amino acids (casamino acids), peptides (peptone) and protein (gelatin). In glucose, when the initial pH was adjusted to 5.0, for both microorganisms, higher biomass production occurred upon supplementation with a nitrogen source in the peptide form (peptone and gelatin). With a close to neutrality pH, biomass accumulation was lower only in the presence of the ammonium salt. When grown in starch, biomass accumulation and secretion of hydrolytic enzymes (amylolytic and proteolytic) by Fusarium also depended on the nature of the nitrogen supplement and the pH. When the initial pH was adjusted to 5.0, higher growth and higher amylolytic activities were detected in the media supplemented with peptone, gelatin and casamino acids. However, at pH 7.0, higher biomass accumulation and higher amylolytic activities were observed upon supplementation with peptone or gelatin. Ammonium sulfate and casamino acids induced a lower production of biomass, and a different level of amylolytic enzyme secretion: high in ammonium sulfate and low in casamino acids. Secretion of proteolytic activity was always higher in the media supplemented with peptone and gelatin. Aspergillus, when grown in starch, was not as dependent as Fusarium on the nature of nitrogen source or the pH. The results described in this work indicate that the metabolism of fungi is regulated not only by pH, but also by the level of structural complexity of the nitrogen source in correlation to the carbon source.

Abstract
Yarrowia lipolytica produces brown extracellular pigments that correlate with tyrosine catabolism. During tyrosine depletion, the yeast accumulated homogentisic acid, p-hydroxyphenylethanol, and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in the medium. Homogentisic acid accumulated under all aeration conditions tested, but its concentration decreased as aeration decreased. With moderate aeration, equimolar concentrations of alcohol and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (1:1) were detected, but with lower aeration the alcohol concentration was twice that of the acid (2:1). p-Hydroxyphenylethanol and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid may result from the spontaneous disproportionation of the corresponding aldehyde, p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde. The catabolic pathway of tyrosine in Y. lipolytica involves the formation of p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, which is oxidized to p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and then further oxidized to homogentisic acid. Brown pigments are produced when homogentisic acid accumulates in the medium. This acid can spontaneously oxidize and polymerize, leading to the formation of pyomelanins. Mn(2+) accelerated and intensified the oxidative polymerization of homogentisic acid, and lactic acid enhanced the stimulating role of Mn(2+). Alkaline conditions also accelerated pigment formation. The proposed tyrosine catabolism pathway appears to be unique for yeast, and this is the first report of a yeast producing pigments involving homogentisic acid.

Abstract
The effect of periodic aeration on the physiological activity of a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast during development of velum (flor) and biological aging of Sherry wine of the Fino type was investigated. L-Proline amino acid was the main nitrogen source for yeasts cells during the biological aging, and its exhaustion may be the cause of the production and consumption of other compounds that are involved in the aroma of wines. Aeration was found to increase adenylate energy charge, growth, and viability of the yeast cells. Also, it affected the intracellular redox equilibrium and the consumption and production of compounds including acetoin, acetaldehyde, higher alcohols, ethanol, glycerol, and acetic acid. Acetaldehyde reached its highest level after the second aeration, which coincided with the exhaustion of the nitrogen source in the medium. The enzyme activity of alcohol dehydrogenases I and II decreased immediately after each aeration, subsequently increasing once all of the dissolved oxygen in the wine had been consumed by yeast cells. Aldehyde dehydrogenase activity was detected only after the first aeration, and it may be related to the production and consumption of acetic acid in the wine.

Abstract
Urea, ammonium, and free amino acid contents were quantified in a must from Vitis vinifera cv. Pedro Ximenez grapes and in fermented wine and after a short aging of this wine by Saccharomyces cerevisiae race capensis yeast under variable oxygen availability conditions. The previous compounds were also determined in a wine in which the nitrogen source was depleted by the same race of flor yeast (old wine) and also following the addition of ammonium ion, L-glutamic acid, and L-proline. Under specific conditions such as low oxygen level and the absence of some nutrients, the yeasts release some amino acids including L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-cysteine, and L-methionine to the medium. These amino acids must originate primarily in a de novo synthesis from ethanol that regenerates NAD(P)+. On the basis of these results, the yeasts may be able to use amino acids not only as nitrogen sources but also as redox agents to balance the oxidation-reduction potential under conditions of restricted oxygen, when electron transport along the respiratory chain may be hindered or limited.

Abstract
O estudo do efeito da complexidade estrutural da fonte de nitrogênio no transporte de amônio em Saccharomyces cerevisiae foi realizado cultivando-se o microrganismo em um meio mínimo contendo glicose e fontes de nitrogênio, variando de um simples sal de amônio (sulfato de amônio) a aminoácidos livres (casaminoácidos) e peptídeos (peptona). O transporte de amônio foi avaliado acompanhando-se a entrada do análogo metilamônio, utilizando duas metodologias diferentes: transporte de metilamônio radioativo e efluxo de potássio acoplado ao transporte de metilamônio em células crescidas em diferentes condições de cultivo. A cinética de transporte de amônio é detectada nos meios contendo peptona e amônio e não no meio suplementado com casaminoácidos, e o transporte medido em diferentes fases de crescimento sugere que o processo é mais estável em células crescidas em peptona. Os resultados descritos neste trabalho indicam que a complexidade estrutural interfere com a expressão do transportador do íon amônio e que a complementação do meio de cultura com uma fonte de nitrogênio na forma de peptídeos é a mais eficiente não só para a expressão do transportador de amônio, mas também de conferir maior estabilidade ao processo.
