Abstract
Studying the genetic and molecular characteristics of brewing yeast strains is crucial for understanding their domestication history and adaptations accumulated over time in fermentation environments, and for guiding optimizations to the brewing process itself. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewing yeast) is among the most profiled organisms on the planet, yet the temporal molecular changes that underlie industrial fermentation and beer brewing remain understudied. Here, we characterized the genomic makeup of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae ale yeast widely used in the production of Hefeweizen beers, and applied shotgun mass spectrometry to systematically measure the proteomic changes throughout 2 fermentation cycles which were separated by 14 rounds of serial repitching. The resulting brewing yeast proteomics resource includes 64,740 protein abundance measurements. We found that this strain possesses typical genetic characteristics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ale strains and displayed progressive shifts in molecular processes during fermentation based on protein abundance changes. We observed protein abundance differences between early fermentation batches compared to those separated by 14 rounds of serial repitching. The observed abundance differences occurred mainly in proteins involved in the metabolism of ergosterol and isobutyraldehyde. Our systematic profiling serves as a starting point for deeper characterization of how the yeast proteome changes during commercial fermentations and additionally serves as a resource to guide fermentation protocols, strain handling, and engineering practices in commercial brewing and fermentation environments. Finally, we created a web interface (https://brewing-yeast-proteomics.ccbb.utexas.edu/) to serve as a valuable resource for yeast geneticists, brewers, and biochemists to provide insights into the global trends underlying commercial beer production.

Synth Syst Biotechnol 2023; 8:772-783. [PMID: 38161995 PMCID: PMC10755794 DOI: 10.1016/j.synbio.2023.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Huangjiu is known for its unique aroma, primarily attributed to its high concentration of β-phenylethanol (ranging from 40 to 130 mg/L). Phenylalanine aminotransferase Aro9p and phenylpyruvate decarboxylase Aro10p are key enzymes in the β-phenylethanol synthetic pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae HJ. This study examined the enzymatic properties of these two enzymes derived from S. cerevisiae HJ and S288C. After substrate docking, Aro9pHJ (-24.05 kJ/mol) and Aro10pHJ (-14.33 kJ/mol) exhibited lower binding free energies compared to Aro9pS288C (-21.93 kJ/mol) and Aro10pS288C (-12.84 kJ/mol). ARO9 and ARO10 genes were heterologously expressed in E. coli BL21. Aro9p, which was purified via affinity chromatography, showed inhibition by l-phenylalanine (L-PHE), but the reaction rate Vmax(Aro9pHJ: 23.89 μmol·(min∙g)-1) > Aro9pS288C: 21.3 μmol·(min∙g)-1) and inhibition constant Ki values (Aro9pHJ: 0.28 mol L-1>Aro9pS288C 0.26 mol L-1) indicated that Aro9p from S. cerevisiae HJ was more tolerant to substrate stress during Huangjiu fermentation. In the presence of the same substrate phenylpyruvate (PPY), Aro10pHJ exhibited a stronger affinity than Aro10pS288C. Furthermore, Aro9pHJ and Aro10pHJ were slightly more tolerant to the final metabolites β-phenylethanol and ethanol, respectively, compared to those from S288C. The study suggests that the mutations in Aro9pHJ and Aro10pHJ may contribute to the increased β-phenylethanol concentration in Huangjiu. This is the first study investigating enzyme tolerance mechanisms in terms of substrate and product, providing a theoretical basis for the regulation of the β-phenylethanol metabolic pathway.

Abstract
The commercial active dry yeast strains used for cider production in China are far behind the requirements of the cider industry development in recent decades. In this study, eight yeasts, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Pichia bruneiensis, and Pichia kudriavzevii, were screened and assessed by growth performance, methanol production, aroma analysis, and their transcriptive characterization. Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains WFC-SC-071 and WFC-SC-072 were identified as promising alternatives for cider production. Strains WFC-SC-071 and WFC-SC-072 showed an excellent growth capacity characterized by 91.6 and 88.8% sugar utilization, respectively. Methanol production by both strains was below 200 mg/L. Key aroma compounds imparting cider appreciably characteristic aroma increased in cider fermented by strains WFC-SC-071 and WFC-SC-072. RT-qPCR analysis suggested that most genes associated with growth capacity, carbohydrate uptake, and aroma production were upregulated in WFC-SC-071 and WFC-SC-072. Overall, two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains are the optimal starters for cider production to enable the diversification of cider, satisfy the differences in consumer demand, and promote cider industry development.

Abstract
The demand for food and beverage markets has increased as a result of population increase and in view of health awareness. The quality of products from food processing industry has to be improved economically by incorporating greener methodologies that enhances the safety and shelf life via the enzymes application while maintaining the essential nutritional qualities. The utilization of enzymes is rendered more favorable in industrial practices via the modification of their characteristics as attested by studies on enzyme immobilization pertaining to different stages of food and beverage processing; these studies have enhanced the catalytic activity, stability of enzymes and lowered the overall cost. However, the harsh conditions of industrial processes continue to increase the propensity of enzyme destabilization thus shortening their industrial lifespan namely enzyme leaching, recoverability, uncontrollable orientation and the lack of a general procedure. Innovative studies have strived to provide new tools and materials for the development of systems offering new possibilities for industrial applications of enzymes. Herein, an effort has been made to present up-to-date developments on enzyme immobilization and current challenges in the food and beverage industries in terms of enhancing the enzyme stability.
