Li M, Gao S, Yang P, Li H. Improvement of ribonucleic acid production in Cyberlindnera jadinii and optimization of fermentation medium. AMB Express 2024; 14:24. [PMID: 38358520 PMCID: PMC10869677 DOI: 10.1186/s13568-024-01679-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
To enhance the ribonucleic acid (RNA) productivity for industrial applications, this study employed strain screening and medium optimization to improve the content of RNA in Cyberlindnera jadinii. A rapid screening method, combining atmospheric and room temperature plasma mutagenesis, 48-deep-well plates fermentation, and microplate reader detection, was developed. A mutant strain named WB15 with high RNA content was successfully obtained, exhibiting the RNA content of 156 ± 4.5 mg/g DCW, 1.4 times of the starting strain CCTCC AY 92020. Furthermore, Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology were employed to identify three significant factors (yeast extract, soybean peptone, and KH2PO4) affecting the RNA content. By utilizing the optimal medium composed of 13.43 g/L yeast extract, 12.12 g/L soybean peptone and 2.78 g/L KH2PO4, the RNA content of WB15 further increased to 184 ± 4.9 mg/g DCW. Additionally, the mutant strain WB15 exhibited a greater cellular width compared to AY 92020, along with increased growth rate and single-cell RNA content by 22% and 48.9%, respectively. Perturbations in ribosome assembly, specifically a reduction in the ratio of ribosomal proteins to ribosomal RNA of the large subunit, might indirectly contribute to the higher RNA content in the WB15 strain. Overall, the combination of rapid screening with fermentation medium optimization proved to be an effective approach for improving the RNA content of C. jadinii, thus facilitating the industrial production of RNA.

[PMID: 37558027 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
This research aims to introduce a new wound dressing with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties made from chitosan and copper-containing Janus nanoparticles (JNPs). The JNPs were synthesized by attaching copper to PDA nanospheres, which were then embedded in Chitosan at different concentrations. The resulting spherical JNPs had a mean size of 208 ± 96 nm, and EDX mapping showed successful adhesion of Cu2+ ions to PDA nanospheres with a total Cu2+ content of 16.5 wt%. The samples exhibited interconnected porous structures, increasing JNPs concentration resulting in larger pore size and higher porosity. The addition of JNPs to 10 % (Ch-JNP 10) resulted in the highest strength, young modulus, and crystallinity, while a reverse trend was observed at higher JNPs content. JNPs improve the antibacterial activity of chitosan-based dressing, especially against E. coli. All samples were biocompatible and did not exhibit any cytotoxic effects. Ch-JNP10 had higher cellular density, confluency, and collagen secretion than other samples. The in vivo study demonstrated that Ch-JNP10 induced epithelialization and oriented collagen fiber formation while reducing inflammation. Overall, Ch-JNP10 may be a potential wound dressing for chronic wounds.

Accumulation and Enrichment of Trace Elements by Yeast Cells and Their Applications: A Critical Review. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10091746. [PMID: 36144348 PMCID: PMC9504137 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10091746] [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: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Maintaining the homeostasis balance of trace elements is crucial for the health of organisms. Human health is threatened by diseases caused by a lack of trace elements. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a wide and close relationship with human daily life and industrial applications. It can not only be used as fermentation products and single-cell proteins, but also as a trace elements supplement that is widely used in food, feed, and medicine. Trace-element-enriched yeast, viz., chromium-, iron-, zinc-, and selenium-enriched yeast, as an impactful microelements supplement, is more efficient, more environmentally friendly, and safer than its inorganic and organic counterparts. Over the last few decades, genetic engineering has been developing large-scaled genetic re-design and reconstruction in yeast. It is hoped that engineered yeast will include a higher concentration of trace elements. In this review, we compare the common supplement forms of several key trace elements. The mechanisms of detoxification and transport of trace elements in yeast are also reviewed thoroughly. Moreover, genes involved in the transport and detoxification of trace elements are summarized. A feasible way of metabolic engineering transformation of S. cerevisiae to produce trace-element-enriched yeast is examined. In addition, the economy, safety, and environmental protection of the engineered yeast are explored, and the future research direction of yeast enriched in trace elements is discussed.

Abstract
Copper is an essential micronutrient for life, whose homeostasis is rigorously regulated to meet the demands of normal biological processes and to minimize the potential toxicity. Copper enriched by yeast is regarded as a safe and bioavailable form of copper supplements. Here, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strain H247 with expanded storage capability of copper was obtained through atmospheric and room-temperature plasma treatment. Transcriptomic analyses found that transcriptional upregulation of DGA1 might be the major contributor to the enhancement of intracellular copper accumulation in strain H247. The positive correlation between biogenesis of lipid droplets and intracellular accumulation of copper was confirmed by overexpression of the diacylglycerol acyltransferase encoding genes DGA1 and LRO1 or knockout of DGA1. Lipid droplets are not only the storage pool of copper but might prompt the copper trafficking to mitochondria, vacuoles, and Golgi apparatus. These results provide new insights into the sophisticated copper homeostatic mechanisms and the biological functions of lipid droplets.
