Abstract
Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are mainly C6- and in rare cases also C9-aldehydes, -alcohols, and -esters, which are released by plants in response to biotic or abiotic stresses. These compounds are named for their characteristic smell reminiscent of freshly mowed grass. This review focuses on GLVs and the two major pathway enzymes responsible for their formation: lipoxygenases (LOXs) and fatty acid hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs). LOXs catalyze the peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic and α-linolenic acids. Hydroperoxy fatty acids are further converted by HPLs into aldehydes and oxo-acids. In many industrial applications, plant extracts have been used as LOX and HPL sources. However, these processes are limited by low enzyme concentration, stability, and specificity. Alternatively, recombinant enzymes can be used as biocatalysts for GLV synthesis. The increasing number of well-characterized enzymes efficiently expressed by microbial hosts will foster the development of innovative biocatalytic processes for GLV production.

Abstract
Cellulose is an abundant natural polysaccharide that is universally distributed. It can be extracted from corncobs, which are inexpensive, easily accessible, renewable, and environmentally friendly. A common strategy for effectively utilizing cellulose is efficient heterogeneous expression of cellulase genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the improvement of cellulose utilization is a relevant issue. Based on our previous findings, we constructed an integrated secretion expression vector, pHBM368-pgk, containing a constitutive promoter sequence. Three genetically modified S. cerevisiae strains containing heterologous β-glucosidase, exoglucanase, and endoglucanase genes were constructed. The results of a 1-L bioreactor fermentation process revealed that the mixed recombinant S. cerevisiae could efficiently carry out simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) by using corncobs as the sole carbon source. The ethanol concentration reached 6.37 g/L after 96 hours of fermentation, which was about 3 times higher than that produced by genetically modified S. cerevisiae with the inducible promoter sequence. To investigate the microstructure characteristics of hydrolyzed corncobs during the fermentation process, corncob residues were detected by using a scanning electron microscope. This study provides a feasible method to improve the effect of SSF using corncobs as the sole carbon source.

Abstract
Lipoxygenase (LOX; EC 1.13.11.12,) is an enzyme that is widely used in food industry to improve aroma, rheological, or baking properties of foods. In this study, we described the expression and characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LOX in Escherichia coli. The recombinant LOX was successfully expressed and secreted by E. coli using its endogenous signal peptide. When induced with 1 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (final concentration) at 20 °C for 47 h, the titer of the recombinant enzyme reached 3.89 U/mL. In order to characterize the catalytic properties, the recombinant LOX was purified to homogeneity on Q High Performance and Mono Q5/50GL sequentially. The molecular weight of the LOX was estimated as 70 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Km and Vmax of the recombinant enzyme were 48.9 μM and 0.226 μmol/min, respectively. The purified enzyme exhibited a maximum activity at 25 °C and pH 7.5. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the linoleic acid hydroperoxides produced by recombinant LOX revealed that the LOX from P. aeruginosa falls into linoleic acid 13(S)-LOX. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the overexpression of extracellular LOX in microorganisms, and the achieved LOX yield is the highest ever reported.

Abstract
Green notes are substances that characterize the aroma of freshly cut grass, cucumbers, green apples, and foliage. In plants, they are synthesized by conversion of linolenic or linoleic acid via the enzymes lipoxygenase (LOX) and hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) to short-chained aldehydes. Current processes for production of natural green notes rely on plant homogenates as enzyme sources but are limited by low enzyme concentration and low specificity. In an alternative approach, soybean LOX2 and watermelon HPL were overexpressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After optimization of the expression constructs, a yeast strain coexpressing LOX and HPL was applied in whole cell biotransformation experiments. Whereas addition of linolenic acid to growing cultures of this strain yielded no products, we were able to identify high green note concentrations when resting cells were used. The primary biotransformation product was 3(Z)-hexenal, a small amount of which isomerized to 2(E)-hexenal. Furthermore, both aldehydes were reduced to the corresponding green note alcohols by endogenous yeast alcohol dehydrogenase to some extent. As the cosolvent ethanol was the source of reducing equivalents for green note alcohol formation, the hexenal/hexenol ratio could be influenced by the use of alternative cosolvents. Further investigations to identify the underlying mechanism of the rather low biocatalyst stability revealed a high toxicity of linolenic acid to yeast cells. The whole cell catalyst containing LOX and HPL enzyme activity described here can be a promising approach towards a highly efficient microbial green note synthesis process.

Abstract
Silencing of MIG1, a transcription factor imposing carbon catabolite repression on invertase, was attempted, either by disrupting the gene or by expressing antisense copies of the gene. The performance of the recombinant strains in bioreactor batch cultivations on sucrose, in the presence of glucose, was compared with that of the wild-type strain under the same conditions. In the delta migI strain, the rate of sucrose utilization was independent (10 mmol/g/h) of the glucose concentration. During the cultivations with the wild-type strain and the antisense strains, two distinct phases were observed. The rates of sucrose hydrolysis were < 1 mmol/g/h and 9 to 10 mmol/g/h in the first and second phases, respectively. Entry into the second cultivation phase was characterized by a decline in glucose concentration below 12 mmol/liter. As expected, disruption of MIG1 resulted in a relief of glucose repression. However, silencing of MIG1 expression was not achieved by expressing antisense MIG1, even though antisense MIG1 RNA was sufficiently stable to be detected. In the wild-type and delta migI strains, the specific growth rate was 0.32 to 0.33 h-1, whereas it was lower in the antisense strains, 0.25 to 0.30 h-1.

Abstract
The Arabidopsis thaliana (At) 2S albumin gene 3 (At2S3) has been cloned in YEp13 as a 3.5-kb genomic fragment. To study its expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the accumulation in saturated cultures reached about 0.032% of the yeast total protein, and the product was localized in vacuolar bodies within the cell. The 13-kDa protein was processed to 9- and 4-kDa proteins, as obtained in transgenic tobacco plants.
