Application of New Yarrowia lipolytica Transformants in Production of Citrates and Erythritol from Glycerol. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1475.

Abstract
Citric acid and erythritol are obtained on an industrial scale using biotechnological methods. Due to the growing market demand for these products, research is underway to improve the process economics by introducing new microorganisms, in particular of the species Yarrowia lipolytica. The aim of this study was to evaluate transformants of Y. lipolytica for growth and ability to overproduce citric acids and erythritol from glycerol. The transformants were constructed by overexpressing glycerol kinase, methylcitrate synthase and mitochondrial succinate-fumarate transporter in the mutant Wratislavia 1.31. Next, strains were assessed for biosynthesis of citrate (pH 5.5; nitrogen limitation) and erythritol (pH 3.0; high osmotic pressure) from glycerol. Regardless of culture conditions strains, 1.31.GUT1/6 and 1.31.GUT1/6.CIT1/3 exhibited high rates of substrate utilization. Under conditions favoring citrate biosynthesis, both strains produced several percent more citrates, accompanied by higher erythritol production compared to the parental strain. During erythritol biosynthesis, the strain 1.31.GUT1/6.CIT1/3.E34672g obtained as a result of co-expression of all three genes stood out, producing 84.0 g/L of erythritol with yield and productivity of 0.54 g/g and 0.72 g/Lh, respectively, which places it in the group of the highest-ranked producers of erythritol among Y. lipolytica species.

[PMID: 37120226 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Levilactobacillus brevis on the fermentation kinetics and flavor quality of radish paocai. Compared with spontaneous fermentation (SF), the radish paocai of inoculated fermentation (IF) using Levilactobacillus brevis PL6-1 as a starter could rapidly utilize sugar to produce acid, thus accelerating the fermentation process. The texture including hardness, chewiness, and springiness of the IF were all higher than that of the SF, and the IF paocai showed higher L value in color. L. brevis PL6-1 as a starter could increase the final levels of metabolites of mannitol (5.43 mg/g), lactic acid (543.44 mg/100 g) and acetic acid (87.79 mg/100 g). Fifteen volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified as key aroma-active compounds in radish paocai and 8 differential VOCs were considered as the potential markers. L. brevis PL6-1 could improve the levels of 1,8-cineole, 1-hexanol, hexanoic acid, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, and eugenol, giving the radish paocai floral, sweet, and sour aroma, and reduce the unpleasant odor of garlic, onion, and pungent, contributed by erucin, diallyl disulfide, and allyl trisulfide. Sensory evaluation results showed that the appearance, taste, texture, and overall acceptability of IF paocai were all better than the SF group. Therefore, L. brevis PL6-1 could be a potential starter to improve the flavor and sensory quality for radish paocai fermentation.
