Abstract
The development of an effective, realistic, and sustainable microbial biorefinery depends on several factors, including as one of the key aspects an adequate selection of microbial strain. The oleaginous red yeast Rhodotorula sp. has been studied as one powerful source for a plethora of high added-value biomolecules, such as carotenoids, lipids, and enzymes. Although known for over a century, the use of Rhodotorula sp. as resource for valuable products has not yet commercialized. Current interests for Rhodotorula sp. yeast have sparked from its high nutritional versatility and ability to convert agro-food residues into added-value biomolecules, two attractive characteristics for designing new biorefineries. In addition, as for other yeast-based bioprocesses, the overall process sustainability can be maximized by a proper integration with subsequent downstream processing stages, for example, by using eco-friendly solvents for the recovery of intracellular products from yeast biomass. This review intends to reflect on the current state of the art of microbial bioprocesses using Rhodotorula species. Therefore, we will provide an analysis of bioproduction performance with some insights regarding downstream separation steps for the extraction of high added-value biomolecules (specifically using efficient and sustainable platforms), providing information regarding the potential applications of biomolecules produced by Rhodotorula sp, as well as detailing the strengths and limitations of yeast-based biorefinery approaches. Novel genetic engineering technologies are further discussed, indicating some directions on their possible use for maximizing the potential of Rhodotorula sp. as cell factories. KEY POINTS: • Rhodotorula sp. are valuable source of high value-added compounds. • Potential of employing Rhodotorula sp. in a multiple product biorefinery. • Future perspectives in the biorefining of Rhodotorula sp. were discussed.

BmSuc1 Affects Silk Properties by Acting on Sericin1 in Bombyx mori. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23179891. [PMID: 36077290 PMCID: PMC9456260 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23179891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BmSuc1, a novel animal-type β-fructofuranosidase (β-FFase, EC 3.2.1.26) encoding gene, was cloned and identified for the first time in the silkworm, Bombyx mori. BmSuc1 was specifically and highly expressed in the midgut and silk gland of Bombyx mori. Until now, the function of BmSuc1 in the silk gland was unclear. In this study, it was found that the expression changes of BmSuc1 in the fifth instar silk gland were consistent with the growth rate of the silk gland. Next, with the aid of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, the BmSuc1 locus was genetically mutated, and homozygous mutant silkworm strains with truncated β-FFase (BmSUC1) proteins were established. BmSuc1 mutant larvae exhibited stunted growth and decreased body weight. Interestingly, the molecular weight of part of Sericin1 (Ser1) in the silk gland of the mutant silkworms was reduced. The knockout of BmSuc1 reduced the sericin content in the silkworm cocoon shell, and the mechanical properties of the mutant line silk fibers were also negatively affected. These results reveal that BmSUC1 is involved in the synthesis of Ser1 protein in silk glands and helps to maintain the homeostasis of silk protein content in silk fibers and the mechanical properties of silk fibers, laying a foundation for the study of BmSUC1 regulation of silk protein synthesis in silk glands.

Abstract
Because of its outstanding biological and industrial importance, many efforts have been made to characterize the mycobiota of new environments and their biochemical and biotechnological potentials. Gut mycobiota can be a source of novel yeasts with the potential to be used as probiotics or have industrial applications. In this work, we characterized two as-yet unexplored yeast communities from the intestinal content of the cultured marine Chilean fishes Genypterus chilensis (G. chilensis) and Seriolella violacea (S. violacea). Yeasts were isolated through culture, identified by sequencing their ITS region, and characterized their enzymatic profile with API®ZYM. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa was identified in both fish species. For the first time, Candida palmioleophila, Candida pseudorugosa, Cystobasidium slooffiae, and a member of the Yamadazyma genus were also identified and described as part of the normal fish gut–microbiota. Furthermore, the diverse enzymatic profile exhibited by some of these isolates suggests that it may be possible to develop novel applications for them, such as new probiotics and other biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The β-fructofuranosidase from the yeast Rhodotorula dairenensis (RdINV) produces a mixture of potential prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) of the levan-, inulin- and neo-FOS series by transfructosylation of sucrose. In this work, the gene responsible for this activity was characterized and its functionality proved in Pichia pastoris. The amino acid sequence of the new protein contained most of the characteristic elements of β-fructofuranosidases included in the family 32 of the glycosyl hydrolases (GH32). The heterologous yeast produced a protein of about 170 kDa, where N-linked and O-linked carbohydrates constituted about 15% and 38% of the total protein mass, respectively. Biochemical and kinetic properties of the heterologous protein were similar to the native enzyme, including its ability to produce prebiotic sugars. The maximum concentration of FOS obtained was 82.2 g/L, of which 6-kestose represented about 59% (w/w) of the total products synthesized. The potential of RdINV to fructosylate 19 hydroxylated compounds was also explored, of which eight sugars and four alditols were modified. The flexibility to recognize diverse fructosyl acceptors makes this protein valuable to produce novel glycosyl-compounds with potential applications in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Abstract In this work, it was determined the influence of temperature, pH and storage time on the enzymatic activity and stability of an extracellular fructosyltransferase (FTase E.C.2.4.1.9) from Aspergillus oryzae IPT-301 produced by submerged fermentation. The thermodynamic parameters showed a tendency for increasing enzyme denaturation with the rise in temperature. The maximum transfructosylation activity was obtained at the incubation pH 5.5. During storage at 4 °C, the transfructosylation activity decreased, whereas the hydrolytic activity increased, especially in the first nine hours, a time in which the enzyme presented 45.6% of its initial transfructosylation activity. These results contributed to the improvement of the conditions of storage, immobilization and use of the soluble fructosyltransferases (FTase) in fructooligosaccharide (FOS) production.

Abstract
An extracellular fructosyltransferase (Ftase) enzyme with a molar mass of ≈70 kDa from a newly isolated indigenous coprophilous fungus Aspergillus niger sp. XOBP48 is purified to homogeneity and characterized in this study. The enzyme was purified to 4.66-fold with a total yield of 15.53% and specific activity of 1219.17 U mg-1 of protein after a three-step procedure involving (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, dialysis and anion exchange chromatography. Ftase showed optimum activity at pH 6.0 and temperature 50 °C. Ftase exhibited over 80% residual activity at pH range of 4.0-10.0 and ≈90% residual activity at temperature range of 40-60 °C for 6 h. Metal ion inhibitors Hg2+ and Ag+ significantly inhibited Ftase activity at 1 mmol concentration. Ftase showed K m, v max and k cat values of 79.51 mmol, 45.04 µmol min-1 and 31.5 min-1, respectively, with a catalytic efficiency (k cat/K m) of 396 µmol-1 min-1 for the substrate sucrose. HPLC-RI experiments identified the end products of fructosyltransferase activity as monomeric glucose, 1-kestose (GF2), and 1,1-kestotetraose (GF3). This study evaluates the feasibility of using this purified extracellular Ftase for the enzymatic synthesis of biofunctional fructooligosaccharides.

Abstract
Sucrose is the most commonly transported sugar in plants and is easily assimilated by insects to fulfill the requirement of physiological metabolism. BmSuc1 is a novel animal β-fructofuranosidase (β-FFase, EC 3.2.1.26)-encoding gene that was firstly cloned and identified in silkworm, Bombyx mori. BmSUC1 was presumed to play an important role in the silkworm-mulberry enzymatic adaptation system by effectively hydrolyzing sucrose absorbed from mulberry leaves. However, this has not been proved with direct evidence thus far. In this study, we investigated sucrose hydrolysis activity in the larval midgut of B. mori by inhibition tests and found that sucrase activity mainly stemmed from β-FFase, not α-glucosidase. Next, we performed shRNA-mediated transgenic RNAi to analyze the growth characteristics of silkworm larvae and variations in glycometabolism in vivo in transgenic silkworms. The results showed that in the RNAi-BmSuc1 transgenic line, larval development was delayed, and their body size was markedly reduced. Finally, the activity of several disaccharidases alone in the midgut and the sugar distribution, total sugar and glycogen in the midgut, hemolymph and fat body were then determined and compared. Our results demonstrated that silencing BmSuc1 significantly reduced glucose and apparently activated maltase and trehalase in the midgut. Together with a clear decrease in both glycogen and trehalose in the fat body, we conclude that BmSUC1 acts as an essential sucrase by directly modulating the degree of sucrose hydrolysis in the silkworm larval midgut, and insufficient sugar storage in the fat body may be responsible for larval malnutrition and abnormal petite phenotypes.

Abstract
The nutritional and therapeutic benefits of prebiotics have attracted the keen interest of consumers and food processing industry for their use as food ingredients. Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), new alternative sweeteners, constitute 1-kestose, nystose, and 1-beta-fructofuranosyl nystose produced from sucrose by the action of fructosyltransferase from plants, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. FOS has low caloric values, non-cariogenic properties, and help gut absorption of ions, decrease levels of lipids and cholesterol and bifidus-stimulating functionality. The purified linear fructose oligomers are added to various food products like cookies, yoghurt, infant milk products, desserts, and beverages due to their potential health benefits. This review is focused on the various aspects of biotechnological production, purification and potential applications of fructo-oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Currently, prebiotics are all carbohydrates of relatively short chain length. One important group is the fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a special kind of prebiotic associated to the selective stimulation of the activity of certain groups of colonic bacteria. They have a positive and beneficial effect on intestinal microbiota, reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal infections and also possessing a recognized bifidogenic effect. Traditionally, these prebiotic compounds have been obtained through extraction processes from some plants, as well as through enzymatic hydrolysis of sucrose. However, different fermentative methods have also been proposed for the production of FOS, such as solid-state fermentations utilizing various agro-industrial by-products. By optimizing the culture parameters, FOS yields and productivity can be improved. The use of immobilized enzymes and cells has also been proposed as being an effective and economic method for large-scale production of FOS. This article is an overview of the results considering recent studies on FOS biosynthesis, physicochemical properties, sources, biotechnological production and applications.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that the chromatographic separation of mixtures of monosaccharides and disaccharides may be improved by employing Y zeolites, a procedure which holds promise in the separation of oligosaccharides. In the present study, a column packed with zeolite was employed to study the separation of fructooligosaccharides (FOS). FOS were produced by an enzyme isolated from Rhodotorula sp., which produces GF2 (kestose), GF3 (nystose) and GF4 (frutofuranosyl nystose). The identification and quantification of the sugars were carried out by ion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). The separation of fructooligosaccharides was carried out using a fixed bed column packed with Ba2+-exchange Y zeolites. The effects of temperature (40-50 degrees C), injected volume per bed volume (2.55-7.64%), superficial velocity (0.1-0.15 cm min(-1)) and eluent composition (40-60% ethanol) were investigated using a fractionary factorial design with separation efficiency as the response. The results showed that the most favorable conditions for the separation of the oligosaccharide-glucose mixture were 60% ethanol as eluent, temperature of 50 degrees C, superficial velocity of 0.1 cm min(-1) and 2.55% injection volume per bed volume of injection mixture, using two columns in series. The values for separation efficiency were 0.60 for oligosaccharide-glucose, 1.00 for oligosaccharide-fructose, 0.22 for oligosaccharide-sucrose, 0.43 for glucose-fructose, 0.82 for glucose-sucrose and 1.23 for fructose-sucrose.

Abstract
An extracellular beta-fructofuranosidase from the yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous was characterized biochemically, molecularly, and phylogenetically. This enzyme is a glycoprotein with an estimated molecular mass of 160 kDa, of which the N-linked carbohydrate accounts for 60% of the total mass. It displays optimum activity at pH 5.0 to 6.5, and its thermophilicity (with maximum activity at 65 to 70 degrees C) and thermostability (with a T(50) in the range 66 to 71 degrees C) is higher than that exhibited by most yeast invertases. The enzyme was able to hydrolyze fructosyl-beta-(2-->1)-linked carbohydrates such as sucrose, 1-kestose, or nystose, although its catalytic efficiency, defined by the k(cat)/K(m) ratio, indicates that it hydrolyzes sucrose approximately 4.2 times more efficiently than 1-kestose. Unlike other microbial beta-fructofuranosidases, the enzyme from X. dendrorhous produces neokestose as the main transglycosylation product, a potentially novel bifidogenic trisaccharide. Using a 41% (wt/vol) sucrose solution, the maximum fructooligosaccharide concentration reached was 65.9 g liter(-1). In addition, we isolated and sequenced the X. dendrorhous beta-fructofuranosidase gene (Xd-INV), showing that it encodes a putative mature polypeptide of 595 amino acids and that it shares significant identity with other fungal, yeast, and plant beta-fructofuranosidases, all members of family 32 of the glycosyl-hydrolases. We demonstrate that the Xd-INV could functionally complement the suc2 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and, finally, a structural model of the new enzyme based on the homologous invertase from Arabidopsis thaliana has also been obtained.
