Abstract
BACKGROUND 2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) is one of the most widely used spices. Recently, 2-PE has also been considered a potential aviation fuel booster. However, the lack of scientific understanding of the 2-PE biosynthetic pathway and the cellular response to 2-PE cytotoxicity are the most important obstacles to the efficient biosynthesis of 2-PE. RESULTS Here, metabolic engineering and tolerance engineering strategies were used to improve the production of 2-PE in Komagataella phaffii. First, the endogenous genes encoding the amino acid permease GAP1, aminotransferase AAT2, phenylpyruvate decarboxylase KDC2, and aldehyde dehydrogenase ALD4 involved in the Ehrlich pathway and the 2-PE stress response gene NIT1 in K. phaffii were screened and characterized via comparative transcriptome analysis. Subsequently, metabolic engineering was employed to gradually reconstruct the 2-PE biosynthetic pathway, and the engineered strain S43 was obtained, which produced 2.98 g/L 2-PE in shake flask. Furthermore, transcriptional profiling analyses were utilized to screen for novel potential tolerance elements. Our results demonstrated that cells with knockout of the PDR12 and C4R2I5 genes exhibited a significant increase in 2-PE tolerance. To confirm the practical applications of these results, deletion of the PDR12 and C4R2I5 genes in the hyper 2-PE producing strain S43 dramatically increased the production of 2-PE by 18.12%, and the production was 3.54 g/L. CONCLUSION This is the highest production of 2-PE produced by K. phaffii via L-phenylalanine conversion. These identified K. phaffii endogenous elements are highly conserved in other yeast species, suggesting that manipulation of these homologues might be a useful strategy for improving aromatic alcohol production. These results also enrich the understanding of aromatic compound biosynthetic pathways and 2-PE tolerance, and provide new elements and strategies for the synthesis of aromatic compounds by microbial cell factories.

BIOTECHNOLOGY REPORTS (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2024; 42:e00839. [PMID: 38633817 PMCID: PMC11021914 DOI: 10.1016/j.btre.2024.e00839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
A bacterium, Acinetobacter soli ANG344B, isolated from river water, exhibited an exceptional capacity to produce 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) using L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) as a precursor-a capability typically observed in yeasts rather than bacteria. Bioreactor experiments were conducted to evaluate the production performance, using glucose as the carbon source for cellular growth and L-Phe as the precursor for 2-PE production. Remarkably, A. soli ANG344B achieved a 2-PE concentration of 2.35 ± 0.26 g/L in just 24.5 h of cultivation, exhibiting a global volumetric productivity of 0.10 ± 0.01 g/L.h and a production yield of 0.51 ± 0.01 g2-PE/gL-Phe, a result hitherto reported only for yeasts. These findings position A. soli ANG344B as a highly promising microorganism for 2-PE production. Whole-genome sequencing of A. soli strain ANG344 revealed a genome size of 3.52 Mb with a GC content of 42.7 %. Utilizing the Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology (RAST) server, 3418 coding genes were predicted, including genes coding for enzymes previously associated with the metabolic pathway of 2-PE production in other microorganisms, yet unreported in Acinetobacter species. Through gene mapping, 299 subsystems were identified, exhibiting 30 % subsystem coverage. The whole genome sequence data was submitted to NCBI GeneBank with the BioProject ID PRJNA982713. These draft genome data offer significant potential for exploiting the biotechnological capabilities of A. soli strain ANG344 and for conducting further comparative genomic studies.

Abstract
Gastrodin, 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, has been widely used in the treatment of neurogenic and cardiovascular diseases. Currently, gastrodin biosynthesis is being achieved in model microorganisms. However, the production levels are insufficient for industrial applications. In this study, we successfully engineered a Yarrowia lipolytica strain to overproduce gastrodin through metabolic engineering. Initially, the engineered strain expressing the heterologous gastrodin biosynthetic pathway, which comprises chorismate lyase, carboxylic acid reductase, phosphopantetheinyl transferase, endogenous alcohol dehydrogenases, and a UDP-glucosyltransferase, produced 1.05 g/L gastrodin from glucose in a shaking flask. Then, the production was further enhanced to 6.68 g/L with a productivity of 2.23 g/L/day by overexpressing the key node DAHP synthases of the shikimate pathway and alleviating the native tryptophan and phenylalanine biosynthetic pathways. Finally, the best strain, Gd07, produced 13.22 g/L gastrodin in a 5 L fermenter. This represents the highest reported production of gastrodin in an engineered microorganism to date, marking the first successful de novo production of gastrodin using Y. lipolytica.

Abstract
Coffee stands as one of the world's most popular beverages, and its quality undergoes the influence of numerous pre- and post-harvest procedures. These encompass genetic variety, cultivation environment, management practices, harvesting methods, and post-harvest processing. Notably, microbial communities active during fermentation hold substantial sway over the ultimate quality and sensory characteristics of the final product. The interaction between plants and microorganisms assumes critical significance, with specific microbes assuming pivotal roles in coffee plant growth, fruit development, and, subsequently, the fruit's quality. Microbial activities can synthesize or degrade compounds that influence the sensory profile of the beverage. However, studies on the metabolic products generated by various coffee-related microorganisms and their chemical functionality, especially in building sensory profiles, remain scarce. The primary aim of this study was to conduct a literature review, based on a narrative methodology, on the current understanding of the plant-microorganism interaction in coffee production. Additionally, it aimed to explore the impacts of microorganisms on plant growth, fruit production, and the fermentation processes, directly influencing the ultimate quality of the coffee beverage. Articles were sourced from ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using specific search terms such as "coffee microorganisms", "microorganisms-coffee interactions", "coffee fermentation", "coffee quality", and 'coffee post-harvest processing". The articles used were published in English between 2000 and 2023. Selection criteria involved thoroughly examining articles to ensure their inclusion was based on results about the contribution of microorganisms to both the production and quality of the coffee beverage. The exploration of microorganisms associated with the coffee plant and its fruit presents opportunities for bioprospecting, potentially leading to targeted fermentations via starter cultures, consequently generating new profiles. This study synthesizes existing data on the current understanding of the coffee-associated microbiome, its functionalities within ecosystems, the metabolic products generated by microorganisms, and their impacts on fermentation processes and grain and beverage quality. It highlights the importance of plant-microorganism interactions in the coffee production chain.

Abstract
Kluyveromyces marxianus yeasts represent a valuable industry alternative due to their biotechnological potential to produce aromatic compounds. 2-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethylacetate are significant aromatic compounds widely used in food and cosmetics due to their pleasant odor. Natural obtention of these compounds increases their value, and because of this, bioprocesses such as de novo synthesis has become of great significance. However, the relationship between aromatic compound production and yeast's genetic diversity has yet to be studied. In the present study, the analysis of the genetic diversity in K. marxianus isolated from the natural fermentation of Agave duranguensis for Mezcal elaboration is presented. The results of strains in a haploid and diploid state added to the direct relationship between the mating type locus MAT with metabolic characteristics are studied. Growth rate, assimilate carbohydrates (glucose, lactose, and chicory inulin), and the production of aromatic compounds such as ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol, 2-phenylethyl butyrate and phenylethyl propionate and the diversity in terms of the output of 2-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethylacetate by de novo synthesis were determinate, obtaining maximum concentrations of 51.30 and 60.39 mg/L by ITD0049 and ITD 0136 yeasts respectively.

Abstract
The successful design of economically viable bioprocesses can help to abate global dependence on petroleum, increase supply chain resilience, and add value to agriculture. Specifically, bioprocessing provides the opportunity to replace petrochemical production methods with biological methods and to develop novel bioproducts. Even though a vast range of chemicals can be biomanufactured, the constraints on economic viability, especially while competing with petrochemicals, are severe. There have been extensive gains in our ability to engineer microbes for improved production metrics and utilization of target carbon sources. The impact of growth medium composition on process cost and organism performance receives less attention in the literature than organism engineering efforts, with media optimization often being performed in proprietary settings. The widespread use of corn steep liquor as a nutrient source demonstrates the viability and importance of "waste" streams in biomanufacturing. There are other promising waste streams that can be used to increase the sustainability of biomanufacturing, such as the use of urea instead of fossil fuel-intensive ammonia and the use of struvite instead of contributing to the depletion of phosphate reserves. In this review, we discuss several process-specific optimizations of micronutrients that increased product titers by twofold or more. This practice of deliberate and thoughtful sourcing and adjustment of nutrients can substantially impact process metrics. Yet the mechanisms are rarely explored, making it difficult to generalize the results to other processes. In this review, we will discuss examples of nutrient sourcing and adjustment as a means of process improvement. ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY The potential impact of nutrient adjustments on bioprocess performance, economics, and waste valorization is undervalued and largely undercharacterized.

Abstract
Synthetic microbial consortia show promising applications for fine chemical production, especially with long metabolic pathways. In this study, a synthetic microbial consortium consisting of Escherichia coli YLC20 and Meyerozyma guilliermondii MG57 was successfully constructed, which could achieve efficient de novo 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) production from glucose. A tyrosine-deficient E. coli YLC20 overexpressing genes of aroF and pheA was first constructed, which could accumulate 29.5 g/L of l-phenylalanine (l-Phe) within 96 h from glucose accompanied by the coproduction of acetate and α-ketoglutarate (α-KG). Furthermore, the engineered M. guilliermondii MG57 was constructed through the stepwise metabolic engineering strategy, which could facilitate the 2-PE synthesis from l-Phe. Moreover, the cosubstrate and material intervention strategies were applied to improve the stability of the microbial consortium and 2-PE production. Finally, the synthetic microbial consortium could de novo synthesize 3.77 g/L of 2-PE from 80 g/L of glucose, providing a reference for the de novo synthesis of fine chemicals with long metabolic pathways.

Abstract
The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is well known for its versatile production of metabolites from various substrates, but, although isolated from, e.g., wild-fermented Belgian Sour beers, it is rarely considered a starter culture in fermented beverages. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the ability of Y. lipolytica to ferment brewers’ wort containing iso-α-acid for 7 days at low and high aeration and at 20 °C and 30 °C, with a special focus on amino acid consumption and production of volatile aroma compounds. Y. lipolytica was able to grow in the wort under all four conditions, although the growth was inhibited. Furthermore, it only consumed glucose and fructose, and no ethanol was formed. Moreover, under high aeration conditions, Y. lipolytica consumed 75–80% of the amino acids in the wort. Interestingly, no esters were produced during the fermentations, and only five higher alcohols (1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, and 2-phenylethanol), two aldehydes (3-methylbutanal and (E)-2-nonenal), two ketones (cyclopentanone and 9-oxabicyclo [6.1.0]nonan-4-one), one fatty acid (3-methyl-butanoic acid), and one benzene derivate (1,2,4-trimethyl-benzene) were produced. These results may contribute to the potential use of Y. lipolytica in a traditional brewery for the production of novel beers; e.g., alcohol-free beer.

Abstract
Natural sources of flavour and aroma compounds are highly sought by the modern consumer; however, traditional sources are often low-yielding, and global supply is often outstripped by consumer demand. Fermentation is a favourable route by which natural flavours and fragrances can be produced. A non-Saccharomyces yeast, Brettanomyces bruxellensis, was investigated for its fermentative potential for the production of flavour and aroma metabolites from juice industry by-products: apple pomace, carrot pomace, and orange pomace. Submerged solid-substrate fermentations were carried out using sterile by-products without nutrient supplementation. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was used for volatile metabolite profiling of fermented substrates. One compound of interest, phenylethyl alcohol (rose fragrance), was extracted and quantified using GC-MS at a yield of 2.68 g/kg wet carrot pomace weight. This represents a novel, natural production strategy for phenylethyl alcohol compared to the traditional steam distillation of Rosa domascus sp. petals.

Abstract
Due to its pleasant rosy scent, the aromatic alcohol 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) has a huge market demand. Since this valuable compound is used in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, consumers and safety regulations tend to prefer natural methods for its production rather than the synthetic ones. Natural 2-PE can be either produced through the extraction of essential oils from various flowers, including roses, hyacinths and jasmine, or through biotechnological routes. In fact, the rarity of natural 2-PE in flowers has led to the inability to satisfy the large market demand and to a high selling price. Hence, there is a need to develop a more efficient, economic, and environmentally friendly biotechnological approach as an alternative to the conventional industrial one. The most promising method is through microbial fermentation, particularly using yeasts. Numerous yeasts have the ability to produce 2-PE using l-Phe as precursor. Some agro-industrial waste and by-products have the particularity of a high nutritional value, making them suitable media for microbial growth, including the production of 2-PE through yeast fermentation. This review summarizes the biotechnological production of 2-PE through the fermentation of different yeasts on synthetic media and on various agro-industrial waste and by-products.

Abstract
Yarrowia lipolytica is widely used as a microbial producer of lipids and lipid derivatives. Here, we exploited this yeast's potential to generate aromatic amino acids by developing chassis strains optimized for the production of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan. We engineered the shikimate pathway to overexpress a combination of Y. lipolytica and heterologous feedback-insensitive enzyme variants. Our best chassis strain displayed high levels of de novo Ehrlich metabolite production (up to 0.14 g l-1 in minimal growth medium), which represented a 93-fold increase compared to the wild-type strain (0.0015 g l-1 ). Production was further boosted to 0.48 g l-1 when glycerol, a low-cost carbon source, was used, concomitantly to high secretion of phenylalanine precursor (1 g l-1 ). Among these metabolites, 2-phenylethanol is of particular interest due to its rose-like flavour. We also established a production pathway for generating protodeoxyviolaceinic acid, a dye derived from tryptophan, in a chassis strain optimized for chorismate, the precursor of tryptophan. We have thus demonstrated that Y. lipolytica can serve as a platform for the sustainable de novo bio-production of high-value aromatic compounds, and we have greatly improved our understanding of the potential feedback-based regulation of the shikimate pathway in this yeast.

Abstract
Aromatic compounds have broad applications and have been the target of biosynthetic processes for several decades. New biomolecular engineering strategies have been applied to improve production of aromatic compounds in recent years, some of which are expected to set the stage for the next wave of innovations. Here, we will briefly complement existing reviews on microbial production of aromatic compounds by focusing on a few recent trends where considerable work has been performed in the last 5 years. The trends we highlight are pathway modularization and compartmentalization, microbial co-culturing, non-traditional host engineering, aromatic polymer feedstock utilization, engineered ring cleavage, aldehyde stabilization, and biosynthesis of non-standard amino acids. Throughout this review article, we will also touch on unmet opportunities that future research could address.

Abstract
Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) featuring concomitant hydrolysis of renewable substrates and microbial conversion into value-added biomolecules is considered to bring substantial benefits to the overall process efficiency. The biggest challenge in developing an economically feasible CBP process is identification of bifunctional biocatalyst merging the ability to utilize the substrate and convert it to value-added product with high efficiency. Yarrowia lipolytica is known for its exceptional performance in hydrophobic substrates assimilation and storage. On the other hand, its capacity to grow on plant-derived biomass is strongly limited. Still, its high potential to simultaneously overproduce several secretory proteins makes Y. lipolytica a platform of choice for expanding its substrate range to complex polysaccharides by engineering its hydrolytic secretome. This review provides an overview of different genetic engineering strategies advancing development of Y. lipolytica strains able to grow on the following four complex polysaccharides: starch, cellulose, xylan, and inulin. Much attention has been paid to genome mining studies uncovering native potential of this species to assimilate untypical sugars, as in many cases it turns out that dormant pathways are present in Y. lipolytica's genome. In addition, the magnitude of the economic gain by CBP processing is here discussed and supported with adequate calculations based on simulated process models. KEY POINTS: • The mini-review updates the knowledge on polysaccharide-utilizing Yarrowia lipolytica. • Insight into molecular bases founding new biochemical qualities is provided. • Model industrial processes were simulated and the associated costs were calculated.

Abstract
Functional sugars have unique structural and physiological characteristics with applied perspectives for modern biomedical and biotechnological sectors, such as biomedicine, pharmaceutical, cosmeceuticals, green chemistry, and agro-food. They can also be used as starting matrices to produce biologically active metabolites of interests. Though numerous chemical synthesis routes have been proposed and deployed for the synthesis of rare sugars, however, many of them are limited and economically incompetent because of expensive raw starting feedstocks. Whereas, the biosynthesis by enzymatic means are often associated with high catalyst costs and low space-time yields. Microbial production of rare sugars via green routes using bio-renewable resources offers noteworthy solutions to overcome the aforementioned limitations of synthetic and enzymatic synthesis routes. From the microbial-based synthesis perspective, the lipogenic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is rapidly evolving as the most prevalent and unique "non-model organism" in the bio-production arena. Due to high flux tendency through the tri-carboxylic acid cycle intermediates and precursors such as acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, this yeast has been widely investigated to meet the increasing demand of industrially relevant fine chemicals, including functional sugars. Incredible interest in Y. lipolytica originates from its robust tolerance to unstable pH, salt levels, and organic compounds, which subsequently enable easy bioprocess optimization. Meaningfully, GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status creates Y. lipolytica as an attractive and environmentally friendly microbial host for the manufacturing of nutraceuticals, fermented food, and dietary supplements. In this review, we highlight the recent and state-of-the-art research progress on Y. lipolytica as a host to synthesize bio-based compounds of interest beyond the realm of well-known fatty acid production. The unique physicochemical properties, biotechnological applications, and biosynthesis of an array of value-added functional sugars including erythritol, threitol, fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, isomalto-oligosaccharides, isomaltulose, trehalose, erythrulose, xylitol, and mannitol using sustainable carbon sources are thoroughly vetted. Finally, we conclude with perspectives that would be helpful to engineer Y. lipolytica in greening the twenty-first century biomedical and biotechnological sectors of the modern world.

Abstract
2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) is an important high-grade aromatic alcohol, which is widely used in the cosmetics, perfumery and food industries. However, 2-PE is mainly synthesized using a chemical route, which produces environmental pollution and harmful by-products. Screening of high-yielding wild-type strains has become an important goal for the future biosynthesis of 2-PE. In this study, a wild-type Wickerhamomyces anomalus was isolated from rice wine fermented mash. By optimizing the initial glucose and l-phenylalanine concentrations, 2630.7 mg/L of 2-PE was obtained in shaking flasks. The conditions of initial glucose and l-phenylalanine concentration, pH, and inoculation amount were optimized for 2-PE production with W. anomalus. Finally, based on the optimal conditions, the 2-PE titer reached 4,727.3 mg/L by a single-dose fed-batch strategy in a 5-L bioreactor. The results showed that the ability was expanded to harness the Ehrlich pathway for the production of high-value aromatics in aroma-producing yeast species.

Abstract
Yarrowia lipolytica IMUFRJ 50682 is a Brazilian wild-type strain with potential application in bioconversion processes which can be improved through synthetic biology. In this study, we focused on a combinatorial dual cleavage CRISPR/Cas9-mediated for construction of irreversible auxotrophic mutants IMUFRJ 50682, which genomic information is not available, thought paired sgRNAs targeting upstream and downstream sites of URA3 gene. The disruption efficiency ranged from 5 to 28 % for sgRNAs combinations closer to URA3's start and stop codon and the auxotrophic mutants lost about 970 bp containing all coding sequence, validating this method for genomic edition of wild-type strains. In addition, we introduced a fluorescent phenotype and achieved cloning rates varying from 80 to 100 %. The ura3Δ strains IMUFRJ 50682 were also engineered for β-carotene synthesis as proof of concept. Carotenoid-producing strains exhibited a similar growth profile compared to the wild-type strain and were able to synthesized 30.54-50.06 mg/L (up to 4.8 mg/g DCW) of β-carotene in YPD and YNB flask cultures, indicating a promisor future of the auxotrophic mutants IMUFRJ 50682 as a chassis for production of novel value-added chemicals.

Abstract
We describe the impact of the number and location of methoxy groups in the structure of chalcones on the speed and efficiency of their transformation by unconventional yeast strains. The effect of substrate concentration on the conversion efficiency in the culture of the Yarrowia lipolytica KCh 71 strain was tested. In the culture of this strain, monomethoxychalcones (2′-hydroxy-2″-, 3″- and 4″-methoxychalcone) were effectively hydrogenated at over 40% to the specific dihydrochalcones at a concentration of 0.5 g/L of medium after just 1 h of incubation. A conversion rate of over 40% was also observed for concentrations of these compounds of 1 g/L of medium after three hours of transformation. As the number of methoxy substituents increases in the chalcone substrate, the rate and efficiency of transformation to dihydrochalcones decreased. The only exception was 2′-hydroxy-2″,5″-dimethoxychalcone, which was transformed into dihydrochalcone by strain KCh71 with a yield comparable to that of chalcone containing a single methoxy group.

Abstract

Yarrowia
lipolytica is a novel microbial chassis
to upgrade renewable low-cost carbon feedstocks to high-value commodity
chemicals and natural products. In this work, we systematically characterized
and removed the rate-limiting steps of the shikimate pathway and achieved de novo synthesis of five aromatic chemicals in Y. lipolytica. We determined that eliminating amino
acids formation and engineering feedback-insensitive DAHP synthases
are critical steps to mitigate precursor competition and relieve the
feedback regulation of the shikimate pathway. Further overexpression
of heterologous phosphoketolase and deletion of pyruvate kinase provided
a sustained metabolic driving force that channels E4P (erythrose 4-phosphate)
and PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) precursors through the shikimate pathway.
Precursor competing pathways and byproduct formation pathways were
also blocked by inactivating chromosomal genes. To demonstrate the
utility of our engineered chassis strain, three natural products,
2-phenylethanol (2-PE), p-coumaric acid, and violacein,
which were derived from phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, respectively,
were chosen to test the chassis performance. We obtained 2426.22 ±
48.33 mg/L of 2-PE, 593.53 ± 28.75 mg/L of p-coumaric acid, 12.67 ± 2.23 mg/L of resveratrol, 366.30 ±
28.99 mg/L of violacein, and 55.12 ± 2.81 mg/L of deoxyviolacein
from glucose in a shake flask. The 2-PE production represents a 286-fold
increase over the initial strain (8.48 ± 0.50 mg/L). Specifically,
we obtained the highest 2-PE, violacein, and deoxyviolacein titer
ever reported from the de novo shikimate pathway
in yeast. These results set up a new stage of engineering Y. lipolytica as a sustainable biorefinery chassis
strain for de novo synthesis of aromatic compounds
with economic values.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the study was to investigate the antifungal effects of a quorum sensing-molecule, 2-phenylethanol, against the food spoilage moulds Penicillium expansum and Penicillium nordicum. METHODS AND RESULTS Conidial germination of the tested Penicillium spp. (three strains in total) were inhibited by treatments with 2-phenylethanol in a concentration-dependent manner. Germinated conidia was significantly reduced from 4·4-16·7% at 7·5 mmol l-1 and completely inhibited at 15 mmol l-1 2-phenylethanol. Integrity of conidial cell membranes was unaffected by 2-phenylethanol resulting in reversible inhibition pattern of germination. In contrast, membrane permeability of actively growing hyphae was severely compromised, showing 63·5 - 75·7% membrane damage upon treatment with 15 mmol l-1 2-phenylethanol. The overall inhibitory effect of 2-phenylethanol on colony development and growth of P. expansum and P. nordicum was additionally confirmed. CONCLUSIONS 2-phenylethanol inhibits conidial germination and growth of P. expansum and P. nordicum in a nonlethal, reversible and concentration-dependent manner. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The study indicates that 2-phenylethanol can find potential application as an antifungal agent for biological control of moulds in the food industry.

Abstract
The most common route to produce aromatic chemicals - organic compounds containing at least one benzene ring in their structure - is chemical synthesis. These processes, usually starting from an extracted fossil oil molecule such as benzene, toluene, or xylene, are highly environmentally unfriendly due to the use of non-renewable raw materials, high energy consumption and the usual production of toxic by-products. An alternative way to produce aromatic compounds is extraction from plants. These extractions typically have a low yield and a high purification cost. This motivates the search for alternative platforms to produce aromatic compounds through low-cost and environmentally friendly processes. Microorganisms are able to synthesize aromatic amino acids through the shikimate pathway. The construction of microbial cell factories able to produce the desired molecule from renewable feedstock becomes a promising alternative. This review article focuses on the recent advances in microbial production of aromatic products, with a special emphasis on metabolic engineering strategies, as well as bioprocess optimization. The recent combination of these two techniques has resulted in the development of several alternative processes to produce phenylpropanoids, aromatic alcohols, phenolic aldehydes, and others. Chemical species that were unavailable for human consumption due to the high cost and/or high environmental impact of their production, have now become accessible.

Abstract
The draft genome of a wild-type Meyerozyma guilliermondii strain YLG18, which could convert l-phenylalanine (l-phe) to 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) and tolerate high concentration of 2-PE was sequenced and analyzed. 18S rDNA analysis indicated that strain YLG18 is closely related to M. guilliermondii. The assembled draft genome of strain YLG18 is 12.8 Mb, containing 5275 encoded protein sequences with G + C content of 43.75%. Among these annotated genes, two aminotransferases, one phenylpyruvate decarboxylase and two bifunctional alcohol dehydrogenases (adh) play key roles in the achievement of 2-PE production from l-phe via Ehrlich pathway. In addition, membrane protein insertase (YidC), heat shock protein (Hsp90) and chaperons (SGT1) were identified, which may contribute to the increased tolerance to 2-PE.

Abstract
Solid-state fermentation with Yarrowia lipolytica was applied to palm kernels (PK) with the aim to modulate the aroma of palm kernel oil (PKO) obtained after kernel roasting. The results showed that, the metabolic activities of Y. lipolityca brought about significant changes to the volatile profile of obtained PKO either by providing thermal reaction reactants or by directly contributing aroma compounds. After fermentation, a decreased content in glucose (60%) while an elevated amount (7-fold) in free amino acids was found in PK, which further impacted the formation of volatile compounds by influencing the Maillard reaction and Strecker degradation during roasting. More Strecker aldehydes and N-heterocyclic compounds were formed in PKO derived from fermented PK especially after intensified roasting. In addition, the catabolism of Y. lipolytica imparted some distinct volatile compounds such as 2-phenylethanol to the obtained PKO. However, the lipase excreted by Y. lipolytica hydrolysed PK lipids and released 5-fold more free fatty acids in fermented PKO, relative to the blank and control PKO, which likely contributed to the off-flavor. On the basis of all volatile categories, principal component analysis (PCA) clearly separated the fermented PKO from the blank and control PKO, with light roasted, fermented PKO being correlated with acids, alcohols and aliphatic aldehydes; medium and dark roasted, fermented PKO tending to be dominated by pyrroles, pyrazines and furanones, which is in correspondence with sensory changes of PKO. This study demonstrated that combining fermentation with roasting could provide a novel way to modulate the volatile composition and aroma of PKO.

Abstract
The non-conventional oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica shows great industrial promise. It naturally produces certain compounds of interest but can also artificially generate non-native metabolites, thanks to an engineering process made possible by the significant expansion of a dedicated genetic toolbox. In this review, we present recently developed synthetic biology tools that facilitate the manipulation of Y. lipolytica, including 1) DNA assembly techniques, 2) DNA parts for constructing expression cassettes, 3) genome-editing techniques, and 4) computational tools.

Abstract
2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) and 2-phenethyl acetate (2-PEA) are valuable generally recognized as safe flavoring agents widely used in industry. Perfumes, pharmaceuticals, polishes, and personal care products, are some of the final products using these compounds as additives due to their rose-like odor. Also, 2-PE is used in disinfectants, pest control, and cleaning products due to its biocide capability. Although most of these additives production are derived from chemical synthesis, the current trend of consumers to prefer natural products has contributed to the development of biotechnological approaches as an alternative way to obtain natural 2-PE and 2-PEA. The most efficient route to bioproduce these compounds is through the bioconversion of L-phenylalanine via the Ehrlich pathway, and most of the advances have been focused on the development of this process. This review compiles the most recent developments in the biotechnological production of 2-PE and 2-PEA, indicating the most studied strains producing 2-PE and 2-PEA, the current advances in the in situ product recovery in liquid systems, an overview of the strain developments, and the progress in the use of residue-based systems. Future research should address the need for more sustainable and economic systems such as those using wastes as raw materials, as well as the scale-up of the proposed technologies.

Abstract
The production and consumption of coffee are increasing despite the roadblocks to its agriculture and global trade. The unique, refreshing, and stimulating final cupping quality of coffee is the only reason for this rising production and consumption. Coffee quality is a multifaceted trait and is inevitably influenced by the way it is successively processed after harvesting. Reportedly, 60% of the quality attributes of coffee are governed by postharvest processing. The current review elaborates and establishes for the first time the relationship between different methods of postharvest processing of coffee and its varying organoleptic and sensory quality attributes. In view of the proven significance of each processing step, this review has been subdivided into three sections, secondary processing, primary processing, and postprocessing variables. Secondary processing addresses the immediate processing steps on the farm after harvest and storage before roasting. The primary processing section adheres specifically to roasting, grinding and brewing/extraction, topics which have been technically addressed more than any others in the literature and by industry. The postprocessing attribute section deals generally with interaction of the consumer with products of different visual appearance. Finally, there are still some bottlenecks which need to be addressed, not only to completely understand the relationship of varying postharvest processing methods with varying in-cup quality attributes, but also to devise the next generation of coffee processing technologies.

Abstract
The nonconventional, oleaginous yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica is rapidly emerging as a valuable host for the production of a variety of both lipid and nonlipid chemical products. While the unique genetics of this organism pose some challenges, many new metabolic engineering tools have emerged to facilitate improved genetic manipulation in this host. This review establishes a case for Y. lipolytica as a premier metabolic engineering host based on innate metabolic capacity, emerging synthetic tools, and engineering examples. The metabolism underlying the lipid accumulation phenotype of this yeast as well as high flux through acyl-CoA precursors and the TCA cycle provide a favorable metabolic environment for expression of relevant heterologous pathways. These properties allow Y. lipolytica to be successfully engineered for the production of both native and nonnative lipid, organic acid, sugar and acetyl-CoA derived products. Finally, this host has unique metabolic pathways enabling growth on a wide range of carbon sources, including waste products. The expansion of carbon sources, together with the improvement of tools as highlighted here, have allowed this nonconventional organism to act as a cellular factory for valuable chemicals and fuels.

Abstract
The pivotal role of non-conventional yeast (NCY) species in formation of valuable aroma compounds in various food commodities is widely acknowledged. This fact inspires endeavors aiming at exploitation of food-derived NCYs as biocatalysts in natural aromas production. In this study, we isolated, characterized and evaluated aroma-producing capacity of two NCY representatives-Pichia cactophila 7.20 and Klyuveromyces lactis 6.10 strains. The strains were isolated from food-related habitats-goat-milk regional cheese and Swiss-type ripening cheese, respectively. Aroma profiles generated by the two strains cultured in a general rich medium were analyzed through solvent extraction and GC-MS analysis of the compounds retained in the culture media. Finally, the strains were tested in bioconversion cultures with branched chain- or aromatic amino acids as the sole nitrogen source, to assess capability of the strains towards formation of amino acid-derived aromas. The results showed extraordinary capacity of both strains for production of 2-phenylethanol (at more than 3 g/L) and isoamyl alcohol (approx. 1.5 g/L). A distinctive trait of 2-phenylethyl acetate synthesis at high concentrations (0.64 g/L) was revealed for P. cactophila 7.20 strain. Highly valued disulfide dimethyl as well as methionol acetate were identified amongst the aroma compounds synthesized by the strains.

Abstract
Abstract
Polymers and specifically hybrid polymeric membranes have been identified as effective formulations in adsorption processes. Nevertheless, the adsorption mechanisms associated with their thermodynamics and kinetics are not fully understood, particularly when these polymeric membranes are used to adsorb 2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) to intensify its production in a specific bioconversion process. This work was aimed at giving phenomenological insights on the adsorption of 2-PE on a set of novel porous hybrid membranes based on polyurethane and keratin biofiber obtained from chicken feathers. Feathers, considered as a waste by-product of the poultry industry, represent an alternative source of keratin, a biopolymer that can be used to design low-cost materials from natural resources. Two types of hybrid membranes were prepared. i. e. composite and copolymer. Firstly, these materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) (before and after the adsorption process) and X-Ray (WAXD) analysis. Secondly, these materials, including the reference ones (keratin biofiber and polyurethane), were evaluated during the removal of 2-PE, relating their adsorption capabilities to physiochemical properties elucidated during the characterization. Particularly a composite with 0.1 g of chicken-feather-keratin (C1) presented the highest removal percentage (60.68%), a significant initial adsorption rate (0.2340 mgPE.h−1.gA
−1), the maximum adsorption capacity (12.13 mgPE.gA
−1) and the best stability and mechanical properties at studied operating conditions. In comparison with results reported in literature, in this composite carbonyl functional groups from polyurethane showed rather major affinity to 2-PE than amino groups from the keratin biofiber. To this end, parameters associated with its industrial application were obtained, namely thermodynamic and kinetic information was obtained from a proper design of experiments and phenomenological models based on adsorption macroscopic fundamentals.

Abstract
2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) is a high value aromatic alcohol with a rose-like odor that is utilized in the cosmetics and other industries. Although the chemical routes of 2-PE production have been altered by some microbial transformation processes, the poor tolerance to organic solvents of these microorganisms has limited the 2-PE yield. In this study, the stress-tolerant yeast Candida glycerinogenes WL2002-5 showed a 2-PE tolerance to 4 g/l, which is the highest reported to date. Moreover, the 2-PE titer in a batch fermentation from L-phenylalanine reached 5g/l, which is the highest level achieved by fermentation without in situ product recovery. These results suggest C. glycerinogenes WL2002-5 is a robust strain for the bioproduction of 2-PE with potential for commercial exploitation.

Abstract
Increased interest in sustainable production of renewable diesel and other valuable bioproducts is redoubling efforts to improve economic feasibility of microbial-based oil production. Yarrowia lipolytica is capable of employing a wide variety of substrates to produce oil and valuable co-products. We irradiated Y. lipolytica NRRL YB-567 with UV-C to enhance ammonia (for fertilizer) and lipid (for biodiesel) production on low-cost protein and carbohydrate substrates. The resulting strains were screened for ammonia and oil production using color intensity of indicators on plate assays. Seven mutant strains were selected (based on ammonia assay) and further evaluated for growth rate, ammonia and oil production, soluble protein content, and morphology when grown on liver infusion medium (without sugars), and for growth on various substrates. Strains were identified among these mutants that had a faster doubling time, produced higher maximum ammonia levels (enzyme assay) and more oil (Sudan Black assay), and had higher maximum soluble protein levels (Bradford assay) than wild type. When grown on plates with substrates of interest, all mutant strains showed similar results aerobically to wild-type strain. The mutant strain with the highest oil production and the fastest doubling time was evaluated on coffee waste medium. On this medium, the strain produced 0.12 g/L ammonia and 0.20 g/L 2-phenylethanol, a valuable fragrance/flavoring, in addition to acylglycerols (oil) containing predominantly C16 and C18 residues. These mutant strains will be investigated further for potential application in commercial biodiesel production.

Abstract
A world-wide effort is now being pursued towards the development of flavors and fragrances (F&F) production independently from traditional sources, as well as autonomously from depleting fossil fuel supplies. Biotechnological production of F&F by microbes has emerged as a vivid solution to the current market limitations. Amongst a wide variety of fragrant chemicals, 2-PE is of significant interest to both scientific and industrial community. Although the general overview of the 2-PE synthesis pathway is commonly known, involvement of particular molecular identities in this pathway has not been elucidated in Yarrowia lipolytica to date. The aim of this study was mapping molecular identities involved in 2-PE synthesis in Y. lipolytica. To acquire a comprehensive landscape of the proteins that are directly and indirectly involved in L-Phe degradation and 2-PE synthesis, we took advantage of comprehensibility and sensitivity of high-throughput LC-MS/MS-quantitative analysis. Amongst a number of proteins involved in amino acid turnover and the central carbon metabolism, enzymes involved in L-Phe conversion to 2-PE have been identified. Results on yeast-to-hyphae transition in relation to the character of the provided nitrogen source have been presented.

Cell factory applications of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus for the biotechnological production of natural flavour and fragrance molecules. Yeast 2014; 32:3-16.

Abstract
Kluyveromyces marxianus is emerging as a new platform organism for the production of flavour and fragrance (F&F) compounds. This food-grade yeast has advantageous traits, such as thermotolerance and rapid growth, that make it attractive for cell factory applications. The major impediment to its development has been limited fundamental knowledge of its genetics and physiology, but this is rapidly changing. K. marxianus produces a wide array of volatile molecules and contributes to the flavour of a range of different fermented beverages. Advantage is now being taken of this to develop strains for the production of metabolites such as 2-phenylethanol and ethyl acetate. Strains that were selected from initial screens were used to optimize processes for production of these F&F molecules. Most developments have focused on optimizing growth conditions and the fermentation process, including product removal, with future advancement likely to involve development of new strains through the application of evolutionary or rational engineering strategies. This is being facilitated by new genomic and molecular tools. Furthermore, synthetic biology offers a route to introduce new biosynthetic pathways into this yeast for F&F production. Consumer demand for biologically-synthesized molecules for use in foods and other products creates an opportunity to exploit the unique potential of K. marxianus for this cell factory application.

Abstract
The environmental impact of agricultural waste from the processing of food and feed crops is an increasing concern worldwide. Concerted efforts are underway to develop sustainable practices for the disposal of residues from the processing of such crops as coffee, sugarcane, or corn. Coffee is crucial to the economies of many countries because its cultivation, processing, trading, and marketing provide employment for millions of people. In coffee-producing countries, improved technology for treatment of the significant amounts of coffee waste is critical to prevent ecological damage. This mini-review discusses a multi-stage biorefinery concept with the potential to convert waste produced at crop processing operations, such as coffee pulping stations, to valuable biofuels and bioproducts using biochemical and thermochemical conversion technologies. The initial bioconversion stage uses a mutant Kluyveromyces marxianus yeast strain to produce bioethanol from sugars. The resulting sugar-depleted solids (mostly protein) can be used in a second stage by the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce bio-based ammonia for fertilizer and are further degraded by Y. lipolytica proteases to peptides and free amino acids for animal feed. The lignocellulosic fraction can be ground and treated to release sugars for fermentation in a third stage by a recombinant cellulosic Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which can also be engineered to express valuable peptide products. The residual protein and lignin solids can be jet cooked and passed to a fourth-stage fermenter where Rhodotorula glutinis converts methane into isoprenoid intermediates. The residues can be combined and transferred into pyrocracking and hydroformylation reactions to convert ammonia, protein, isoprenes, lignins, and oils into renewable gas. Any remaining waste can be thermoconverted to biochar as a humus soil enhancer. The integration of multiple technologies for treatment of coffee waste has the potential to contribute to economic and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Yeasts have been used for thousands of years to make fermented foods and beverages, such as beer, wine, sake, and bread. However, the choice for a particular yeast strain or species for a specific industrial application is often based on historical, rather than scientific grounds. Moreover, new biotechnological yeast applications, such as the production of second-generation biofuels, confront yeast with environments and challenges that differ from those encountered in traditional food fermentations. Together, this implies that there are interesting opportunities to isolate or generate yeast variants that perform better than the currently used strains. Here, we discuss the different strategies of strain selection and improvement available for both conventional and nonconventional yeasts. Exploiting the existing natural diversity and using techniques such as mutagenesis, protoplast fusion, breeding, genome shuffling and directed evolution to generate artificial diversity, or the use of genetic modification strategies to alter traits in a more targeted way, have led to the selection of superior industrial yeasts. Furthermore, recent technological advances allowed the development of high-throughput techniques, such as 'global transcription machinery engineering' (gTME), to induce genetic variation, providing a new source of yeast genetic diversity.
