Abstract
Flavors and fragrances (F&F) are interesting organic compounds in chemistry. These compounds are widely used in the food, cosmetic, and medical industries. Enzymatic synthesis exhibits several advantages over natural extraction and chemical preparation, including a high yield, stable quality, mildness, and environmental friendliness. To date, many oxidoreductases and hydrolases have been used to biosynthesize F&F. Ene-reductases (ERs) are a class of biocatalysts that can catalyze the asymmetric reduction of α,β-unsaturated compounds and offer superior specificity and selectivity; therefore, ERs have been increasingly considered an ideal alternative to their chemical counterparts. This review summarizes the research progress on the use of ERs in F&F synthesis over the past 20 years, including the achievements of various scholars, the differences and similarities among the findings, and the discussions of future research trends related to ERs. We hope this review can inspire researchers to promote the development of biotechnology in the F&F industry.

Abstract
As a metaphor, lemons get a bad rap; however the proverb 'if life gives you lemons, make lemonade' is often used in a motivational context. The same could be said of Hanseniaspora in winemaking. Despite its predominance in vineyards and grape must, this lemon-shaped yeast is underappreciated in terms of its contribution to the overall sensory profile of fine wine. Species belonging to this apiculate yeast are known for being common isolates not just on grape berries, but on many other fruits. They play a critical role in the early stages of a fermentation and can influence the quality of the final product. Their deliberate addition within mixed-culture fermentations shows promise in adding to the complexity of a wine and thus provide sensorial benefits. Hanseniaspora species are also key participants in the fermentations of a variety of other foodstuffs ranging from chocolate to apple cider. Outside of their role in fermentation, Hanseniaspora species have attractive biotechnological possibilities as revealed through studies on biocontrol potential, use as a whole-cell biocatalyst and important interactions with Drosophila flies. The growing amount of 'omics data on Hanseniaspora is revealing interesting features of the genus that sets it apart from the other Ascomycetes. This review collates the fields of research conducted on this apiculate yeast genus.

Abstract
We describe a mild and broadly applicable protocol for the preparation of a diverse array of multisubstituted α-selenoenals and -enones from readily accessible propargylic alcohols and diselenides. The transformation proceeds via the Selectfluor-promoted selenirenium pathway, which enables selenenylation/rearrangement of a variety of propargylic alcohols. Gram-scale experiments showed the potential of this synergistic protocol for practical application.

Biocatalytic Potential of Native Basidiomycetes from Colombia for Flavour/Aroma Production. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25184344. [PMID: 32971920 PMCID: PMC7570902 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25184344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Aromas and flavours can be produced from fungi by either de novo synthesis or biotransformation processes. Herein, the biocatalytic potential of seven basidiomycete species from Colombia fungal strains isolated as endophytes or basidioma was evaluated. Ganoderma webenarium, Ganoderma chocoense, and Ganoderma stipitatum were the most potent strains capable of decolourizing β,β-carotene as evidence of their potential as biocatalysts for de novo aroma synthesis. Since a species’ biocatalytic potential cannot solely be determined via qualitative screening using β,β-carotene biotransformation processes, we focused on using α-pinene biotransformation with mycelium as a measure of catalytic potential. Here, two strains of Trametes elegans—namely, the endophytic (ET-06) and basidioma (EBB-046) strains—were screened. Herein, T. elegans is reported for the first time as a novel biocatalyst for the oxidation of α-pinene, with a product yield of 2.9 mg of cis-Verbenol per gram of dry weight mycelia used. The EBB-046 strain generated flavour compounds via the biotransformation of a Cape gooseberry medium and de novo synthesis in submerged cultures. Three aroma-producing compounds were identified via GC–MS—namely, methyl-3-methoxy-4H-pyran-4-one, hexahydro-3-(methylpropyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione, and hexahydro-3-(methylphenyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione.

Abstract
Thirteen Non-Conventional Yeasts (NCYs) have been investigated for their ability to reduce activated C=C bonds of chalcones to obtain the corresponding dihydrochalcones. A possible correlation between bioreducing capacity of the NCYs and the substrate structure was estimated. Generally, whole-cells of the NCYs were able to hydrogenate the C=C double bond occurring in (E)-1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one, while worthy bioconversion yields were obtained when the substrate exhibited the presence of a deactivating electron-withdrawing Cl substituent on the B-ring. On the contrary, no conversion was generally found, with a few exceptions, in the presence of an activating electron-donating substituent OH. The bioreduction aptitude of the NCYs was apparently correlated to the logP value: Compounds characterized by a higher logP exhibited a superior aptitude to be reduced by the NCYs than compounds with a lower logP value.

Abstract
The essential oil of perilla (Perilla frutescens) contains volatile low molecular weight compounds such as monoterpenes and phenylpropenes. The composition of the essential oil is classified into about ten chemotypes. The biosynthesis of these constituents is strictly controlled genetically. Among the compounds contained in perilla essential oil, the bioconversion of pure compounds such as perillaldehyde, limonene, and citral has been reported, but that of many other components has not. In addition, changes in the volatile components of raw plant material during brewing have also been investigated for wine and beer. In this study, we examined the bioconversion of perilla essential oil components by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during the brewing of liquor with perilla leaves. S. cerevisiae was added to the ethanol-water extract of dried leaves of P. frutescens and P. citriodora for seven essential oil types: perillaldehyde type, piperitenone type, perillene type, perillaketone type, elsholtziaketone type, citral type, and phenylpropanoid type. Volatile compounds in the reaction mixtures were analyzed by solid-phase microextraction (SPME)-GC-MS, revealing bioconversion of perillaldehyde, isoegomaketone, neral, and geranial by S. cerevisiae. Analysis of the conversion products suggests that they were formed by the reduction of C=C bonds and aldehydes, as well as by esterification and dehydration reactions.

Abstract
Okara (soybean residue), a by-product from soymilk and tofu production, has a green, grassy off odour as it contains a large amount of aldehydes. This work investigated the rate-limiting enzyme(s) in the formation of aldehydes in okara and the pathways leading to their bioconversion into fruity, pleasant-smelling esters by the yeast Lindnera saturnus. Lipase and hydroperoxide lyase were shown to be rate-limiting enzymes while endogenous soy lipoxygenase was also crucial for the production of aldehydes in okara. Subsequent fermentation of okara by L. saturnus increased the amount of esters by about 70 times to 165-277 μg/g dried okara. The generation of C7 esters followed our hypothesised pathway, while that for C6 esters was mainly affected by L. saturnus. This study presents a simple and inexpensive one-pot setup for the natural bio-production of esters from okara.

Abstract
Asymmetric synthesis of chiral β-hydroxy esters, the key building blocks for many functional materials, is currently of great interest. In this study, the biocatalytic anti-Prelog reduction of methyl acetoacetate (MAA) to methyl-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate ((R)-HBME) was successfully carried out with high enantioselectivity using the whole cell of engineered E. coli, which harbored an AcCR (carbonyl reductase) gene from Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061 and a GDH (glucose dehydrogenase) gene from Bacillus subtilis 168 for the in situ regeneration of the coenzyme. Compared with the corresponding wild strain, the engineered E. coli cells were proved to be more effective for the bio-reduction of MAA, and afforded much higher productivity. Under the optimized conditions, the product e.e. was >99.9% and the maximum yield was 85.3% after a reaction time of 10 h, which were much higher than those reported previously. In addition, the production of (R)-HBME increased significantly by using a fed-batch strategy of tuning pH, with a space-time yield of approximately 265 g L-1 d-1, thus the issue in previous research of relatively low substrate concentrations appears to be solved. Besides, the established bio-catalytic system was proved to be feasible up to a 150 mL scale with a large-scale relatively high substrate concentration and selectivity. For further industrial application, these results open a way to use of whole cells of engineered E. coli for challenging higher substrate concentrations of β-ketone esters enantioselective reduction reactions.

Abstract
The reduction of C=C double bond, a key reaction in organic synthesis, is mostly achieved by traditional chemical methods. Therefore, the search for enzymes capable of performing this reaction is rapidly increasing. Old Yellow Enzymes (OYEs) are flavin-dependent oxidoreductases, initially isolated from Saccharomyces pastorianus. In this study, the presence and activation of putative OYE enzymes was investigated in the filamentous fungus Mucor circinelloides, which was previously found to mediate C=C reduction. Following an in silico approach, using S. pastorianus OYE1 amminoacidic sequence as template, ten putative genes were identified in the genome of M. circinelloides. A phylogenetic analysis revealed a high homology of McOYE1-9 with OYE1-like proteins while McOYE10 showed similarity with thermophilic-like OYEs. The activation of mcoyes was evaluated during the transformation of three different model substrates. Cyclohexenone, α-methylcinnamaldehyde and methyl cinnamate were completely reduced in few hours and the induction of gene expression, assessed by qRT-PCR, was generally fast, suggesting a substrate-dependent activation. Eight genes were activated in the tested conditions suggesting that they may encode for active OYEs. Their expression over time correlated with C=C double bond reduction.

Abstract
Dehydration of yeast cells causes them to enter a state of anhydrobiosis in which their metabolism is temporarily and reversibly suspended. This unique state among organisms is currently used in the production of active dry yeasts, mainly used in baking and winemaking. In recent decades non-conventional applications of yeast dehydration have been proposed for various modern biotechnologies. This mini-review briefly summarises current information on the application of dry yeasts in traditional and innovative fields. It has been shown that dry yeast preparations can be used for the efficient protection, purification and bioremediation of the environment from heavy metals. The high sorption activity of dehydrated yeasts can be used as an interesting tool in winemaking due to their effects on quality and taste. Dry yeasts are also used in agricultural animal feed. Another interesting application of yeast dehydration is as an additional stage in new methods for the stable immobilisation of microorganisms, especially in cases when biotechnologically important strains have no affinity with the carrier. Such immobilisation methods also provide a new approach for the successful conservation of yeast strains that are very sensitive to dehydration. In addition, the application of dehydration procedures opens up new possibilities for the use of yeast as a model system. Separate sections of this review also discuss possible uses of dry yeasts in biocontrol, bioprotection and biotransformations, in analytical methods as well as in some other areas.

Abstract
Bioeconomy stresses the need of green processes promoting the development of new methods for biocatalyzed alkene reductions. A functional screening of 28 fungi belonging to Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota isolated from different habitats was performed to analyze their capability to reduce C=C double bonds towards three substrates (cyclohexenone, α-methylnitrostyrene, and α-methylcinnamaldehyde) with different electron-withdrawing groups, i.e., ketone, nitro, and aldehyde, respectively. Almost all the fungi showed this reducing activity. Noteworthy Gliomastix masseei, Mucor circinelloides, and Mucor plumbeus resulted versatile and effective, being able to reduce all the model substrates quickly and with high yields.

Molecules 2013; 18:5736-48. [PMID: 23681058 PMCID: PMC6270020 DOI: 10.3390/molecules18055736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2013] [Revised: 04/29/2013] [Accepted: 05/10/2013] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
As part of a program aiming at the selection of yeast strains which might be of interest as sources of natural flavours and fragrances, the bioreduction of (4R)-(-)-carvone and (1R)-(-)-myrtenal by whole-cells of non-conventional yeasts (NCYs) belonging to the genera Candida, Cryptococcus, Debaryomyces, Hanseniaspora, Kazachstania, Kluyveromyces, Lindnera, Nakaseomyces, Vanderwaltozyma and Wickerhamomyces was studied. Volatiles produced were sampled by means of headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and the compounds were analysed and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Yields (expressed as % of biotransformation) varied in dependence of the strain. The reduction of both (4R)-(-)-carvone and (1R)-(-)-myrtenal were catalyzed by some ene-reductases (ERs) and/or carbonyl reductases (CRs), which determined the formation of (1R,4R)-dihydrocarvone and (1R)-myrtenol respectively, as main flavouring products. The potential of NCYs as novel whole-cell biocatalysts for selective biotransformation of electron-poor alkenes for producing flavours and fragrances of industrial interest is discussed.

Abstract
Response surface methodology was applied in optimizing the asymmetric bioreduction of (4S)-(+)-carvone to dihydrocarvone (with low incidence of unsought side reactions) by using whole-cells of Cryptococcus gastricus. A factorial design (2(5)) including five independent variables was performed: X(1)=incubation time; X(2)=pH; X(3)=amount of whole-cells; X(4)=concentration of (4S)-(+)-carvone; X(5)=concentration of cofactor-recycling system. The utilization of glucose and glycerol as cofactor-recycling systems was checked. On the basis of the results of factorial design, three independent variables (X(1), X(3) and X(4)) out of five were further selected for performing a central composite design (CCD). First and second order polynomial equations obtained by CCD were used to select the optimal values of independent variables in order to maximize the bioreduction yield of (4S)-(+)-carvone and, at the same time, to minimize the occurrence of side reactions (i.e. further reduction of dihydrocarvone to dihydrocarveol).

Efficient anti-Prelog enantioselective reduction of acetyltrimethylsilane to (R)-1-trimethylsilylethanol by immobilized Candida parapsilosis CCTCC M203011 cells in ionic liquid-based biphasic systems. Microb Cell Fact 2012; 11:108.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biocatalytic asymmetric reductions with whole cells can offer high enantioselectivity, environmentally benign processes and energy-effective operations and thus are of great interest. The application of whole cell-mediated bioreduction is often restricted if substrate and product have low water solubility and/or high toxicity to the biocatalyst. Many studies have shown that a biphasic system is often useful in this instance. Hence, we developed efficient biphasic reaction systems with biocompatible water-immiscible ionic liquids (ILs), to improve the biocatalytic anti-Prelog enantioselective reduction of acetyltrimethylsilane (ATMS) to (R)-1-trimethylsilylethanol {(R)-1-TMSE}, which is key synthon for a large number of silicon-containing drugs, using immobilized Candida parapsilosis CCTCC M203011 cells as the biocatalyst. RESULTS It was found that the substrate ATMS and the product 1-TMSE exerted pronounced toxicity to immobilized Candida parapsilosis CCTCC M203011 cells. The biocompatible water-immiscible ILs can be applied as a substrate reservoir and in situ extractant for the product, thus greatly enhancing the efficiency of the biocatalytic process and the operational stability of the cells as compared to the IL-free aqueous system. Various ILs exerted significant but different effects on the bioreduction and the performances of biocatalysts were closely related to the kinds and combination of cation and anion of ILs. Among all the water-immiscible ILs investigated, the best results were observed in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (C(4)mim·PF(6))/buffer biphasic system. Furthermore, it was shown that the optimum substrate concentration, volume ratio of buffer to IL, buffer pH, reaction temperature and shaking rate for the bioreduction were 120 mM, 8/1 (v/v), 6.0, 30°C and 180 r/min, respectively. Under these optimized conditions, the initial reaction rate, the maximum yield and the product e.e. were 8.1 μmol/min g(cwm), 98.6% and >99%, respectively. The efficient whole-cell biocatalytic process was shown to be feasible on a 450-mL scale. Moreover, the immobilized cells remained around 87% of their initial activity even after being used repeatedly for 8 batches in the C(4)mim·PF(6)/buffer biphasic system, exhibiting excellent operational stability. CONCLUSIONS For the first time, we have successfully utilized immobilized Candida parapsilosis CCTCC M203011 cells, for efficiently catalyzing anti-Prelog enantioselective reduction of ATMS to enantiopure (R)-1-TMSE in the C(4)mim·PF(6)/buffer biphasic system. The substantially improved biocatalytic process appears to be effective and competitive on a preparative scale.

Abstract
Diplogelasinospora grovesii has been reported as a very active biocatalyst in the reduction of ketones. Along the text, the properties of this filamentous fungus as an immobilized catalyst are described. For this purpose, several immobilization supports as agar and polyurethane foam were tested. Experimental assays were also performed to test different co-substrates for the regeneration of the required enzyme cofactor. The fungus immobilized in polyurethane foam lead to the most stable and active catalyst. This derivative, using i-PrOH as co-substrate, could be reused at least 18 times without appreciable activity loss (>90% activity remains). Kinetic runs experiments shown that the reduction of cyclohexanone, selected as model substrate, followed a pseudo-first kinetic order and that the rate controlling step was the mass transfer through the cell wall. The deactivation kinetic constants were also determined. The reduction of different chiral ketones showed that the ketone reductase activity followed the Prelog's rule.

Abstract
Ene-reductases from the ‘Old Yellow Enzyme’ family of flavoproteins catalyze the asymmetric reduction of various α,β-unsaturated compounds at the expense of a nicotinamide cofactor. They have been applied to the synthesis of valuable enantiopure products, including chiral building blocks with broad industrial applications, terpenoids, amino acid derivatives and fragrances. The combination of these highly stereoselective biocatalysts with a cofactor recycling system has allowed the development of cost-effective methods for the generation of optically active molecules, which is strengthened by the availability of stereo-complementary enzyme homologues.

Abstract
A new strain of the yeast Metschnikowia koreensis was grown in shake flasks and a stirred bioreactor for the production of carbonyl reductase. The optimal conditions in the bioreactor for maximizing the biomass specific activity of the enzyme were found to be: a medium composed of glucose (20 g/L), peptone (5 g/L), yeast extract (5 g/L) and zinc sulfate (0.3g/L); the pH controlled at 7; the temperature controlled at 25 °C; an agitation speed of 500 rpm; and an aeration rate of 0.25 vvm. In the bioreactor, a biomass specific enzyme activity of 115.6 U/gDCW was obtained and the maximum biomass concentration was 15.3 gDCW/L. The biomass specific enzyme activity obtained in the optimized bioreactor culture was 11-fold higher than the best result achieved in shake flasks. The bioreactor culture afforded a 2.7-fold higher biomass concentration than could be attained in shake flasks.
