Exploring the impact of magnetic fields on biomass production efficiency under aerobic and anaerobic batch fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sci Rep 2024; 14:12869. [PMID: 38834614 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63628-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
In this work, the effect of moderate electromagnetic fields (2.5, 10, and 15 mT) was studied using an immersed coil inserted directly into a bioreactor on batch cultivation of yeast under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Throughout the cultivation, parameters, including CO2 levels, O2 saturation, nitrogen consumption, glucose uptake, ethanol production, and yeast growth (using OD 600 measurements at 1-h intervals), were analysed. The results showed that 10 and 15 mT magnetic fields not only statistically significantly boosted and sped up biomass production (by 38-70%), but also accelerated overall metabolism, accelerating glucose, oxygen, and nitrogen consumption, by 1-2 h. The carbon balance analysis revealed an acceleration in ethanol and glycerol production, albeit with final concentrations by 22-28% lower, with a more pronounced effect in aerobic cultivation. These findings suggest that magnetic fields shift the metabolic balance toward biomass formation rather than ethanol production, showcasing their potential to modulate yeast metabolism. Considering coil heating, opting for the 10 mT magnetic field is preferable due to its lower heat generation. In these terms, we propose that magnetic field can be used as novel tool to increase biomass yield and accelerate yeast metabolism.

Abstract
We present a novel study introducing a durable and robust covalent-organic framework (COF) nanocoating, developed in situ on living cells. This COF nanocoating demonstrates remarkable resistance against a diverse range of lethal stressors, including high temperature, extreme pH, ultraviolet radiation, toxic metal ions, organic pollutants, and strong oxidative stress. Notably, the nanocoating exhibits exceptional cell survival enhancement under high temperature and strongly acidic conditions, an aspect yet unexplored in the case of metal-organic framework nanocoatings and other nanomaterials. Moreover, functionalization of the nanocoating with an exogenous enzyme catalase enables yeast fermentation and ethanol production even under strong oxidative stress. Our findings establish the durable and robust COF nanocoating as a reliable platform for safeguarding vulnerable microorganisms to allow their utilisation in a wide range of adverse environments.

Abstract
The utilization of grape juice from low oenological value grape varieties for bioethanol production represent an alternative for diversification and value addition in viticulture. Optimizing Very High Gravity (VHG) fermentation can significantly increase ethanol productivity while reducing water and energy consumption. In this study, the impact of different nitrogen sources on growth and fermentative performance of locally selected yeast strains was investigated. Five yeast strains of species Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii were cultured in both synthetic culture media and natural grape juice supplemented with ammonium sulfate (NH), yeast extract (YE), Fermaid K (FERM), and urea (U) at varying concentrations. Due to the very low fermentation rate, the Z. rouxii strain was excluded from the selection. The results obtained in synthetic medium showed that nitrogen sources that promoted growth (NH and YE) had minimal effects on fermentative performance and were highly dependent on the specific yeast strain. However, the combination of urea and ammonium favored the rate of sugar consumption. When validated in natural grape juice, urea combined with ammonium (U + NH 300 + 75 mg/L) improved both growth parameters and ethanol yield. Doubling the concentration (U + NH 600 + 150 mg/L) further enhanced sugar consumption and ethanol production while reducing unwanted by-products. The combined use of urea and ammonium exhibited a synergistic effect, making it a cost-effective nitrogen supplement for VHG fermentations.

Abstract
Yeast is widely used in the fermentation industry, and the major challenges in fermentation production system are high capital cost and low reaction rate. High cell-density culture is an effective method to increase the volumetric productivity of the fermentation process, thus making the fermentation process faster and more robust. During fermentation, yeast is subjected to various environmental stresses, including osmotic, ethanol, oxidation, and heat stress. To cope with these stresses, yeast cells need appropriate adaptive responses to acquire stress tolerances to prevent stress-induced cell damage. Since a single stressor can trigger multiple effects, both specific and nonspecific effects, general and specific stress responses are required to achieve comprehensive protection of cells. Since all these stresses disrupt protein structure, the upregulation of heat shock proteins and trehalose genes is induced when yeast cells are exposed to stress. A better understanding of the research status of yeast HCDC and its underlying response mechanism to various stresses during fermentation is essential for designing effective culture control strategies and improving the fermentation efficiency and stress resistance of yeast.

Abstract
Renewable resources such as lignocellulosic biomass are effective at producing fermentable sugars during enzymatic hydrolysis when pretreated. Optimizing pretreatment methods for delignification while maintaining sustainability and low processing costs requires innovative strategies such as reusing greenhouse gas emissions for materials processing. Corn stover, an agricultural waste residue, was pretreated with 2.2 M Na2CO3 produced from CO2 captured via absorption in a 5 M NaOH solution. Composition analysis of the pretreated corn stover exhibited higher cellulose content (40.96%) and less lignin (16.50%) than the untreated biomass. Changes in the chemical structures are visible in the FTIR-ATR spectra, particularly in the cellulose and lignin-related absorption bands. The sugar release from hydrolysis was evaluated at different time intervals and by varying two enzyme ratios of CTec2-to-HTec2 (2:1 and 3:1). Enzymatic hydrolysis produced higher and more stable glucose yields for the pretreated biomass, surpassing 90% after 24 h using the 3:1 enzyme ratio. Sugar concentrations notably increased after pretreatment and even more when using the cellulase-rich enzyme solution. The maximum glucose, xylose, and arabinose recovered were 44, 19, and 2.3 g L−1. These results demonstrate the viability of capturing CO2 and converting it into an efficient Na2CO3 pretreatment for corn stover biomass. Additional processing optimizations depend on the combination of physicochemical parameters selected.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the microbiological composition and sensory characterization of fermented sausage using strains isolated from Kimchi (GK1, Pediococcus pentosaceus SMFM2016-GK1; NK3, P. pentosaceus SMFM2016-NK3), Doenjang (D1, Debaryomyces hansenii SMFM2021-D1), and spontaneously fermented sausage (S8, D. hansenii SMFM2021-S8; S6, Penicillium nalgiovense SMFM2021-S6). The control was commercial starter culture. Nine treatments were applied [GD (GK1+D1), GS (GK1+S8), GDS (GK1+D1+S8), ND (NK3+D1), NS (NK3+S8), NDS (NK3+D1+S8), GND (GK1+NK3+D1), GNS (GK1+NK3+S8), and GNDS (GK1+NK3+D1+S8)] by mixing lactic acid bacteria and yeast, and S6 was sprayed. The microbial composition of fermented sausage was analyzed [aerobic bacteria (AC), Lactobacillus spp. (LABC), Staphylococcus spp. (STPC), and yeast and mold (YMC)], and pH and electronic nose and tongue measurements were taken. The AC, LABC, STPC, and YMC values of the control and treatment groups tended to increase during fermentation (p>0.05). The STPC values of the GD, GS, ND, and GDS groups were similar to that of the control on day 3. The pH of the control on day 3 was significantly lower than that of the GD, ND, and GND groups (p<0.05). Higher levels of 4-methylpentanol, 2-furanmethanol, and propyl nonanoate, which provide a "fermented" flavor, were detected in the GD group compared to in the control and other treatment groups. GD and ND groups showed higher umami values than the control and other treatment groups. Therefore, it is expected that GD can be valuable as a starter culture unique to Korea when manufacturing fermented sausage.

Abstract
The stress imposed by ethanol to Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are one of the most challenging limiting factors in industrial fuel ethanol production. Consequently, the toxicity and tolerance to high ethanol concentrations has been the subject of extensive research, allowing the identification of several genes important for increasing the tolerance to this stress factor. However, most studies were performed with well-characterized laboratory strains, and how the results obtained with these strains work in industrial strains remains unknown. In the present work, we have tested three different strategies known to increase ethanol tolerance by laboratory strains in an industrial fuel–ethanol producing strain: the overexpression of the TRP1 or MSN2 genes, or the overexpression of a truncated version of the MSN2 gene. Our results show that the industrial CAT-1 strain tolerates up to 14% ethanol, and indeed the three strategies increased its tolerance to ethanol. When these strains were subjected to fermentations with high sugar content and cell recycle, simulating the industrial conditions used in Brazilian distilleries, only the strain with overexpression of the truncated MSN2 gene showed improved fermentation performance, allowing the production of 16% ethanol from 33% of total reducing sugars present in sugarcane molasses. Our results highlight the importance of testing genetic modifications in industrial yeast strains under industrial conditions in order to improve the production of industrial fuel ethanol by S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) analysis is a contemporary and innovative computational method for the assessment of textural patterns, applicable in almost any area of microscopy. The aim of our research was to perform the GLCM analysis of cell nuclei in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells after the induction of sublethal cell damage with ethyl alcohol, and to evaluate the performance of various machine learning (ML) models regarding their ability to separate damaged from intact cells. For each cell nucleus, five GLCM parameters were calculated: angular second moment, inverse difference moment, GLCM contrast, GLCM correlation, and textural variance. Based on the obtained GLCM data, we applied three ML approaches: neural network, random trees, and binomial logistic regression. Statistically significant differences in GLCM features were observed between treated and untreated cells. The multilayer perceptron neural network had the highest classification accuracy. The model also showed a relatively high level of sensitivity and specificity, as well as an excellent discriminatory power in the separation of treated from untreated cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that it is possible to create a relatively sensitive GLCM-based ML model for the detection of alcohol-induced damage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell nuclei.

Abstract
During alcoholic fermentation, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is subjected to several stresses, among which ethanol is of capital importance. Melatonin, a bioactive molecule synthesized by yeast during alcoholic fermentation, has an antioxidant role and is proposed to contribute to counteracting fermentation-associated stresses. The aim of this study was to unravel the protective effect of melatonin on yeast cells subjected to ethanol stress. For that purpose, the effect of ethanol concentrations (6 to 12%) on a wine strain and a lab strain of S. cerevisiae was evaluated, monitoring the viability, growth capacity, mortality, and several indicators of oxidative stress over time, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase enzymes. In general, ethanol exposure reduced the cell growth of S. cerevisiae and increased mortality, ROS accumulation, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activity. Melatonin supplementation softened the effect of ethanol, enhancing cell growth and decreasing oxidative damage by lowering ROS accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzyme activities. However, the effects of melatonin were dependent on strain, melatonin concentration, and growth phase. The results of this study indicate that melatonin has a protective role against mild ethanol stress, mainly by reducing the oxidative stress triggered by this alcohol.

Abstract
The quest to develop a performant starter culture mixture to be applied in cocoa fermentation processes started in the 20th century, aiming at achieving high‐quality, reproducible chocolates with improved organoleptic properties. Since then, different yeasts have been proposed as candidate starter cultures, as this microbial group plays a key role during fermentation of the cocoa pulp‐bean mass. Yeast starter culture‐initiated fermentation trials have been performed worldwide through the equatorial zone and the effects of yeast inoculation have been analysed as a function of the cocoa variety (Forastero, Trinitario and hybrids) and fermentation method (farm‐, small‐ and micro‐scale) through the application of physicochemical, microbiological and chemical techniques. A thorough screening of candidate yeast starter culture strains is sometimes done to obtain the best performing strains to steer the cocoa fermentation process and/or to enhance specific features, such as pectinolysis, ethanol production, citrate assimilation and flavour production. Besides their effects during cocoa fermentation, a significant influence of the starter culture mixture applied is often found on the cocoa liquors and/or chocolates produced thereof. Thus, starter culture‐initiated cocoa fermentation processes constitute a suitable strategy to elaborate improved flavourful chocolate products.

Influence of Temperature during Pre-Fermentative Maceration and Alcoholic Fermentation on the Phenolic Composition of 'Cabernet Sauvignon' Wines. Foods 2021; 10:foods10051053.

Abstract
This study presents the effects of different working temperatures on the transfer of compounds during the pre-fermentative and fermentative stages of the wine making process with ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grapes. Two different procedures have been evaluated. Firstly, the pre-fermentative maceration of the crushed grapes at two different temperatures (20 °C and 10 °C). Then, the alcoholic fermentation under two different sets of conditions, the fermentation at a constant temperature of 20 °C and the fermentation under a positive temperature gradient from 10 to 20 °C. According to the experimental results, the phenolic contents (total phenolics, total anthocyanins, and total tannins) were mainly conditioned by the fermentation temperature, however the pre-fermentative conditions also affected the content levels of these compounds. Furthermore, the use of a fermentation temperature gradient improved the organoleptic characteristics of the wines. However, the color was not as stable as that of wines produced through fermentation at a higher constant temperature. Consequently, the implementation of a temperature gradient during the alcoholic fermentation process is recommended and a longer period at high temperature over the last phase of the process would be desirable to obtain aromatic wines with the desirable color stability.

Abstract
β-glucosidase is a pivotal enzyme that hydrolyzes bound volatile aromatic compounds. However, the activity of β-glucosidase in winemaking and the mechanism by which it affects the flavor and taste of wines have not been fully investigated. In this study, we profiled the characteristics of β-glucosidase derived from wine-related yeasts isolated from different wine-making regions in China, and analyzed the enzyme activity from different parts of the cells under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. A total of 56 strains of wine-related yeasts producing β-glucosidases were screened using the YNB-C medium (YNB 6.7 g L-1 , cellobiose 5 g L-1 , pH 5.0). We found that strain Clavispora lusitaniae C117 produced the highest enzyme activity (152.39 µmol pNP ml-1 h-1 ). In most strains, β-glucosidase were located in whole cells (periplasmic space) and permeabilized cells (intracellular). The non-Saccharomyces species had the highest enzymatic activity in a strain-dependent manner. Under aerobic conditions, C. lusitaniae C117, Hanseniaspora guilliermondii A27-3-4, Metschnikowia pulcherrima F-1-6, and Pichia anomala C84 had the highest β-glucosidase activity. We further investigated the β-glucosidase activity during the wine fermentation and the effects of sugar, pH, temperature, and ethanol on the enzyme activities of P. anomala C84 and commercial Saccharomyces yeast strains RC212 and VL1. The presence of fructose, glucose, and sucrose strongly inhibited enzyme activity. Similarly, low pH and low temperature inhibited the activity of β-glucosidase, whereas ethanol promoted enzyme activity. Our findings provide a theoretical basis on understanding the different yeast characteristics of β-glucosidase and their potential application for further improving wine aroma complexity.

Biotechnological Processes in Fruit Vinegar Production. Foods 2021; 10:foods10050945. [PMID: 33925896 PMCID: PMC8145929 DOI: 10.3390/foods10050945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The production of fruit vinegars as a way of making use of fruit by-products is an option widely used by the food industry, since surplus or second quality fruit can be used without compromising the quality of the final product. The acetic nature of vinegars and its subsequent impact on the organoleptic properties of the final product allows almost any type of fruit to be used for its elaboration. A growing number of scientific research studies are being carried out on this matrix, and they are revealing the importance of controlling the processes involved in vinegar elaboration. Thus, in this review, we will deal with the incidence of technological and biotechnological processes on the elaboration of fruit vinegars other than grapes. The preparation and production of the juice for the elaboration of the vinegar by means of different procedures is an essential step for the final quality of the product, among which crushing or pressing are the most employed. The different conditions and processing methods of both alcoholic and acetic fermentation also affect significantly the final characteristics of the vinegar produced. For the alcoholic fermentation, the choice between spontaneous or inoculated procedure, together with the microorganisms present in the process, have special relevance. For the acetic fermentation, the type of acetification system employed (surface or submerged) is one of the most influential factors for the final physicochemical properties of fruit vinegars. Some promising research lines regarding fruit vinegar production are the use of commercial initiators to start the acetic fermentation, the use of thermotolerant bacteria that would allow acetic fermentation to be carried out at higher temperatures, or the use of innovative technologies such as high hydrostatic pressure, ultrasound, microwaves, pulsed electric fields, and so on, to obtain high-quality fruit vinegars.
