Severe Allergy as a Chronic Inflammatory Condition From a Systems Biology Perspective. Clin Exp Allergy 2024; 54:550-584.

Abstract
Persistent and unresolved inflammation is a common underlying factor observed in several and seemingly unrelated human diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Particularly, in atopic conditions, acute inflammatory responses such as those triggered by insect venom, food or drug allergies possess also a life-threatening potential. However, respiratory allergies predominantly exhibit late immune responses associated with chronic inflammation, that can eventually progress into a severe phenotype displaying similar features as those observed in other chronic inflammatory diseases, as is the case of uncontrolled severe asthma. This review aims to explore the different facets and systems involved in chronic allergic inflammation, including processes such as tissue remodelling and immune cell dysregulation, as well as genetic, metabolic and microbiota alterations, which are common to other inflammatory conditions. Our goal here was to deepen on the understanding of an entangled disease as is chronic allergic inflammation and expose potential avenues for the development of better diagnostic and intervention strategies.

In-situ co-immobilization of lipase, lipoxygenase and L-cysteine within a metal-amino acid framework for conversion of soybean oil into higher-value products. Food Chem 2024; 458:140187.

Abstract
We propose a co-immobilized chemo-enzyme cascade system to mitigate random intermediate diffusion from the mixture of individual immobilized catalysts and achieve a one-pot reaction of multi-enzyme and reductant. Catalyzed by lipase and lipoxygenase, unsaturated lipid hydroperoxides (HPOs) were synthesized. 13(S)-hydroperoxy-9Z, 11E-octadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE), one compound of HPOs, was subsequently reduced to 13(S)-hydroxy-9Z, 11E-octadecadienoic acid (13-HODE) by cysteine. Upon the optimized conditions, 75.28 mg of 13-HPODE and 4.01 mg of 13-HODE were produced from per milliliter of oil. The co-immobilized catalysts exhibited improved yield compared to the mixture of individually immobilized catalysts. Moreover, it demonstrated satisfactory durability and recyclability, maintaining a relative HPOs yield of 78.5% after 5 cycles. This work has achieved the co-immobilization of lipase, lipoxygenase and the reductant cysteine for the first time, successfully applying it to the conversion of soybean oil into 13-HODE. It offers a technological platform for transforming various oils into high-value products.

Abstract
Selective, one-step C-H activation of fatty acids from biomass is an attractive concept in sustainable chemistry. Biocatalysis has shown promise for generating high-value hydroxy acids, but to date enzyme discovery has relied on laborious screening and produced limited hits, which predominantly oxidise the subterminal positions of fatty acids. Herein we show that ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) is an effective tool to explore the sequence-activity landscape of a family of multidomain, self-sufficient P450 monooxygenases. We resurrected 11 catalytically active CYP116B ancestors, each with a unique regioselectivity fingerprint that varied from subterminal in the older ancestors to mid-chain in the lineage leading to the extant, P450-TT. In lineages leading to extant enzymes in thermophiles, thermostability increased from ancestral to extant forms, as expected if thermophily had arisen de novo. Our studies show that ASR can be applied to multidomain enzymes to develop active, self-sufficient monooxygenases as regioselective biocatalysts for fatty acid hydroxylation.

Abstract
Odd-numbered fatty acids (FAs) have been widely used in nutrition, agriculture, and chemical industries. Recently, some studies showed that they could be produced from bacteria or yeast, but the products are almost exclusively odd-numbered long-chain FAs. Here we report the design and construction of two biosynthetic pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for de novo production of odd-numbered medium-chain fatty acids (OMFAs) via ricinoleic acid and 10-hydroxystearic acid, respectively. The production of OMFAs was enabled by introducing a hydroxy fatty acid cleavage pathway, including an alcohol dehydrogenase from Micrococcus luteus, a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase from Pseudomonas putida, and a lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens. These OMFA biosynthetic pathways were optimized by eliminating the rate-limiting step, generating heptanoic acid, 11-hydroxyundec-9-enoic acid, nonanoic acid, and 9-hydroxynonanoic acid at 7.83 mg/L, 9.68 mg/L, 9.43 mg/L and 13.48 mg/L, respectively. This work demonstrates the biological production of OMFAs in a sustainable manner in S. cerevisiae.

Doose C, Hubas C. The metabolites of light: Untargeted metabolomic approaches bring new clues to understand light-driven acclimation of intertidal mudflat biofilm. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:168692. [PMID: 38008320 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
The microphytobenthos (MPB), a microbial community of primary producers, play a key role in coastal ecosystem functioning, particularly in intertidal mudflats. These mudflats experience challenging variations of irradiance, forcing the micro-organisms to develop photoprotective mechanisms to survive and thrive in this dynamic environment. Two major adaptations to light are well described in literature: the excess of light energy dissipation through non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), and the vertical migration in the sediment. These mechanisms trigger considerable scientific interest, but the biological processes and metabolic mechanisms involved in light-driven vertical migration remain largely unknown. To our knowledge, this study investigates for the first time metabolomic responses of a migrational mudflat biofilm exposed for 30 min to a light gradient of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from 50 to 1000 μmol photons m-2 s-1. The untargeted metabolomic analysis allowed to identify metabolites involved in two types of responses to light irradiance levels. On the one hand, the production of SFAs and MUFAs, primarily derived from bacteria, indicates a healthy photosynthetic state of MPB under low light (LL; 50 and 100 PAR) and medium light (ML; 250 PAR) conditions. Conversely, when exposed to high light (HL; 500, 750 and 1000 PAR), the MPB experienced light-induced stress, triggering the production of alka(e)nes and fatty alcohols. The physiological and ecological roles of these compounds are poorly described in literature. This study sheds new light on the topic, as it suggests that these compounds may play a crucial and previously unexplored role in light-induced stress acclimation of migrational MPB biofilms. Since alka(e)nes are produced from FAs decarboxylation, these results thus emphasize for the first time the importance of FAs pathways in microphytobenthic biofilms acclimation to light.

Abstract
Lipids are ubiquitous and highly abundant in a wide range of organisms and have been found in various types of environmental media. These molecules play a crucial role as organic tracers by providing a chemical perspective on viewing the material world, as well as offering a wealth of information on metabolic activities. Among the diverse lipid compounds, hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) with one to multiple hydroxyl groups attached to the carbon chain stand out as important biomarkers for different sources of organic matter. HFAs are widespread in nature and are involved in biotransformation and oxidation processes in living organisms. The unique chemical and physical properties attributed to the hydroxyl group make HFAs ideal biomarkers in biomedicine and environmental toxicology, as well as organic geochemistry. The molecular distribution patterns of HFAs can be unique and diagnostic for a given class of organisms, including animals, plants, and microorganisms. Thus, HFAs can act as a valuable proxy for understanding the ecological relationships between different organisms and their environment. Furthermore, HFAs have numerous industrial applications due to their higher reactivity, viscosity, and solvent miscibility. This review paper integrates the latest research on the sources and chemical analyses of HFAs, as well as their applications in industrial/medicinal production and as biomarkers in environmental studies. This review article also provides insights into the biogeochemical cycles of HFAs in the surface Earth system, highlighting the importance of these compounds in understanding the complex interactions between living organisms and the environment.

Abstract
Enzymatic hydroxylation of fatty acids by Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) offers an eco-friendly route to hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs), high-value oleochemicals with various applications in materials industry and with potential as bioactive compounds. However, instability and poor regioselectivity of CYPs are their main drawbacks. A newly discovered self-sufficient CYP102 enzyme, BAMF0695 from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DSM 7, exhibits preference for hydroxylation of sub-terminal positions (ω-1, ω-2, and ω-3) of fatty acids. Our studies show that BAMF0695 has a broad temperature optimum (over 70 % of maximal enzymatic activity retained between 20 to 50 °C) and is highly thermostable (T50 >50 °C), affording excellent adaptive compatibility for bioprocesses. We further demonstrate that BAMF0695 can utilize renewable microalgae lipid as a substrate feedstock for HFA production. Moreover, through extensive site-directed and site-saturation mutagenesis, we isolated variants with high regioselectivity, a rare property for CYPs that usually generate complex regioisomer mixtures. BAMF0695 mutants were able to generate a single HFA regiosiomer (ω-1 or ω-2) with selectivities from 75 % up to 91 %, using C12 to C18 fatty acids. Overall, our results demonstrate the potential of a recent CYP and its variants for sustainable and green production of high-value HFAs.

Abstract
This study aims to show that lactic fermentation by selected starters can enrich plant matrices with hydroxy- and oxo-fatty acids. The behavior of 31 lactic acid bacteria strains was investigated during the fermentation of Persian walnut, which was selected as a model growth substrate due to its inherent lipids content. The content of the following free fatty acids increased in the majority of the fermented walnut samples: linoleic, α-linolenic, palmitic, and oleic acids. The increase of diacylglycerols and, especially, monoacylglycerols levels in fermented walnuts confirmed that strain-specific bacterial lipolytic activities hydrolyzed triacylglycerols during walnut fermentation. Twelve hydroxylated or epoxidized derivatives arising from oleic, linoleic, and linolenic fatty acids, in five groups of isomeric compounds, were also identified. In addition to the better-known lactobacilli, certain strains of Weissella cibaria, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and Enterococcus faecalis emerged for their lipolytic activities and ability to release hydroxy- and epoxy-fatty acids during walnut fermentation.

Abstract
The hydroxylation of fatty acids is an appealing reaction in synthetic chemistry, although the lack of selective catalysts hampers its industrial implementation. In this study, we have engineered a highly regioselective fungal peroxygenase for the ω-1 hydroxylation of fatty acids with quenched stepwise over-oxidation. One single mutation near the Phe catalytic tripod narrowed the heme cavity, promoting a dramatic shift toward subterminal hydroxylation with a drop in the over-oxidation activity. While crystallographic soaking experiments and molecular dynamic simulations shed light on this unique oxidation pattern, the selective biocatalyst was produced by Pichia pastoris at 0.4 g L-1 in a fed-batch bioreactor and used in the preparative synthesis of 1.4 g of (ω-1)-hydroxytetradecanoic acid with 95 % regioselectivity and 83 % ee for the S enantiomer.

Bioaccumulation and biotransformation of simvastatin in probiotic bacteria: A step towards better understanding of drug-bile acids-microbiome interactions. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1111115. [PMID: 36843926 PMCID: PMC9946981 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1111115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Although pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics have been at the forefront of research aimed at finding novel personalized therapies, the focus of research has recently extended to the potential of intestinal microbiota to affect drug efficacy. Complex interplay of gut microbiota with bile acids may have significant repercussions on drug pharmacokinetics. However, far too little attention has been paid to the potential implication of gut microbiota and bile acids in simvastatin response which is characterized by large interindividual variations. The Aim: In order to gain more insight into the underlying mechanism and its contribution in assessing the clinical outcome, the aim of our study was to examine simvastatin bioaccumulation and biotransformation in probiotic bacteria and the effect of bile acids on simvastatin bioaccumulation in in vitro conditions. Materials and methods: Samples with simvastatin, probiotic bacteria and three different bile acids were incubated at anaerobic conditions at 37°C for 24 h. Extracellular and intracellular medium samples were collected and prepared for the LC-MS analysis at predetermined time points (0 min, 15 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 24 h). The concentrations of simvastatin were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Potential biotransformation pathways were analyzed using a bioinformatics approach in correlation with experimental assay. Results: During the incubation, simvastatin was transported into bacteria cells leading to a drug bioaccumulation over the time, which was augmented upon addition of bile acids after 24 h. A decrease of total drug level during the incubation indicates that the drug is partly biotransformed by bacterial enzymes. According to the results of bioinformatics analysis, the lactone ring is the most susceptible to metabolic changes and the most likely reactions include ester hydrolysis followed by hydroxylation. Conclusion: Results of our study reveal that bioaccumulation and biotransformation of simvastatin by intestinal bacteria might be the underlying mechanisms of altered simvastatin bioavailability and therapeutic effect. Since this study is based only on selected bacterial strains in vitro, further more in-depth research is needed in order to elicit completely the contribution of complex drug-microbiota-bile acids interactions to overall clinical response of simvastatin which could ultimately lead to novel approaches for the personalized lipid-lowering therapy.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 858:159828. [PMID: 36368386 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Lactobacillus fermentation can increase the value of wheat bran, but the benefits of fermented wheat bran for pig production are poorly understood. We evaluated the phenolic acid content of wheat bran fermented with Lactobacillus. The bacterial and fungal compositions, short-chain fatty acids, and heavy metals concentrations in the feces of growing pigs were determined, and the correlations between the bacterial and fungal compositions and short-chain fatty acid and heavy metals concentrations were also assessed. The concentrations of phenolic acids (caffeic acid, catechinic acid, and gallic acid) were higher in fermented bran than in control wheat bran. The diversity of feces bacterial species was significantly higher, whereas the diversity of fungi was lower in fermented wheat bran treatment than those in the control group, and pigs consuming fermented and control wheat bran with different bacterial and fungal compositions had different growth rates. The abundance of genera in fungi that were less abundant in the fermented group samples than in the control samples (including Wallemia, Trichosporon, Candida, Aspergillus, and unclassified_f__Microascaceae) was positively correlated with heavy metals concentrations in pig feces, and the abundances of these fungi were negatively correlated with caffeic acid, catechinic acid, and gallic acid concentrations. Metagenomic function predictions indicated that larger amounts of secondary metabolites were synthesized in the fermented group than in the control group. The results provide new insights into the roles of bacterial-fungal interactions in the growth and decreasing environmental pollution of pigs consuming fermented wheat bran.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lignocellulose is a valuable carbon source for the production of biofuels and biochemicals, thus having the potential to substitute fossil resources. Consolidated bio-saccharification (CBS) is a whole-cell-based catalytic technology previously developed to produce fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic agricultural wastes. The deep-sea yeast strain Rhodotorula paludigena P4R5 can produce extracellular polyol esters of fatty acids (PEFA) and intracellular single-cell oils (SCO) simultaneously. Therefore, the integration of CBS and P4R5 fermentation processes would achieve high-value-added conversion of lignocellulosic biomass. RESULTS The strain P4R5 could co-utilize glucose and xylose, the main monosaccharides from lignocellulose, and also use fructose and arabinose for PEFA and SCO production at high levels. By regulating the sugar metabolism pathways for different monosaccharides, the strain could produce PEFA with a single type of polyol head. The potential use of PEFA as functional micelles was also determined. Most importantly, when sugar-rich CBS hydrolysates derived from corn stover or corncob residues were used to replace grain-derived pure sugars for P4R5 fermentation, similar PEFA and SCO productions were obtained, indicating the robust conversion of non-food corn plant wastes to high-value-added glycolipids and lipids. Since the produced PEFA could be easily collected from the culture via short-time standing, we further developed a semi-continuous process for PEFA production from corncob residue-derived CBS hydrolysate, and the PEFA titer and productivity were enhanced up to 41.1 g/L and 8.22 g/L/day, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Here, we integrated the CBS process and the P4R5 fermentation for the robust production of high-value-added PEFA and SCO from non-food corn plant wastes. Therefore, this study suggests a feasible way for lignocellulosic agro-waste utilization and the potential application of P4R5 in industrial PEFA production.

Abstract
Sphingomonas paucimobilis' P450SPα (CYP152B1) is a good candidate as industrial biocatalyst. This enzyme is able to use hydrogen peroxide as unique cofactor to catalyze the fatty acids conversion to α-hydroxy fatty acids, thus avoiding the use of expensive electron-donor(s) and redox partner(s). Nevertheless, the toxicity of exogenous H2 O2 toward proteins and cells often results in the failure of the reaction scale-up when it is directly added as co-substrate. In order to bypass this problem, we designed a H2 O2 self-producing enzyme by fusing the P450SPα to the monomeric sarcosine oxidase (MSOX), as H2 O2 donor system, in a unique polypeptide chain, obtaining the P450SPα -polyG-MSOX fusion protein. The purified P450SPα -polyG-MSOX protein displayed high purity (A417 /A280 = 0.6) and H2 O2 -tolerance (kdecay = 0.0021 ± 0.000055 min-1 ; ΔA417 = 0.018 ± 0.001) as well as good thermal stability (Tm : 59.3 ± 0.3°C and 63.2 ± 0.02°C for P450SPα and MSOX domains, respectively). The data show how the catalytic interplay between the two domains can be finely regulated by using 500 mM sarcosine as sacrificial substrate to generate H2 O2 . Indeed, the fusion protein resulted in a high conversion yield toward fat waste biomass-representative fatty acids, that is, lauric acid (TON = 6,800 compared to the isolated P450SPα TON = 2,307); myristic acid (TON = 6,750); and palmitic acid (TON = 1,962).

Abstract
PURPOSE Peroxidation and reduction of 11S- and 13S-positions on C20 and C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) by Escherichia coli expressing highly active arachidonate (ARA) 11S-lipoxygenase (11S-LOX) from Enhygromyxa salina with the reducing agent cysteine. RESULTS The specific activity and catalytic efficiency of ARA 11S-LOX from E. salina were 4.1- and 91-fold higher than those of only reported ARA 11S-LOX from Myxococcus xanthus, respectively. The hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) obtained by the biotransformation of ARA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) by Escherichia coli expressing 11S-LOX from E. salina in the presence of cysteine were identified as 11S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (11S-HETE), 11S-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (11S-HEPE), 13S-hydroxydocosapentaenoic acid (13S-HDPA), and 13S-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (13S-HDHA), respectively. The recombinant cells converted 3 mM of ARA, EPA, DPA, and DHA into 2.9 mM of 11S-HETE, 2.4 mM 11S-HEPE, 1. 9 mM 13S-HDPA, and 2.2 mM 13S-HDHA in 60, 80, 120, and 120 min, corresponding to productivities of 72.5, 40.4, 18.5, and 22.4 μM min-1 and conversion yields of 96.7, 80.0, 62.3, and 74.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We report the highest concentrations, conversion yields, and productivities of 11S- and 13S-hydroxy fatty acids from C20- and C22-PUFAs achieved via E. coli expressing highly active E. salina 11S-LOX.

Abstract
C-H oxyfunctionalisation remains a distinct challenge for synthetic organic chemists. Oxygenases and peroxygenases (grouped here as "oxygenating biocatalysts") catalyse the oxidation of a substrate with molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. The application of oxygenating biocatalysts in organic synthesis has dramatically increased over the last decade, producing complex compounds with potential uses in the pharmaceutical industry. This review will focus on hydroxyl functionalisation using oxygenating biocatalysts as a tool for drug discovery and development. Established oxygenating biocatalysts, such as cytochrome P450s and flavin-dependent monooxygenases, have widely been adopted for this purpose, but can suffer from low activity, instability or limited substrate scope. Therefore, emerging oxygenating biocatalysts which offer an alternative will also be covered, as well as considering the ways in which these hydroxylation biotransformations can be applied in drug discovery and development, such as late-stage functionalisation (LSF) and in biocatalytic cascades.

Abstract
Fatty acid hydratases are unique to microorganisms. Their native function is the oxidation of unsaturated C–C bonds to enable detoxification of environmental toxins. Within this enzyme family, the oleate hydratases (Ohys), which catalyze the hydroxylation of oleic acid to 10-(R)-hydroxy stearic acid (10-HSA) have recently gained particular industrial interest. 10-HSA is considered to be a replacement for 12-(R)-hydroxy stearic acid (12-HSA), which has a broad application in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. As 12-HSA is obtained through an energy consuming synthesis process, the biotechnological route for sustainable 10-HSA production is of significant industrial interest. All Ohys identified to date have a non-redox active FAD bound in their active site. Ohys can be divided in several subfamilies, that differ in their oligomerization state and the decoration with amino acids in their active sites. The latter observation indicates a different reaction mechanism across those subfamilies. Despite intensive biotechnological, biochemical and structural investigations, surprising little is known about substrate binding and the reaction mechanism of this enzyme family. This review, summarizes our current understanding of Ohys with a focus on sustainable biotransformation.

Abstract
Ricinoleic acid (RA) is a long-chain hydroxy fatty acid produced from castor bean that is used in the manufacturing of a variety of industrial products. The demand for RA keeps increasing due to its broad applications. However, due to the presence of a potent toxin ricin, the native oilseed plant is not an ideal source for hydroxy fatty acid production. Although there have been significant efforts on engineering different microorganisms for heterologous production of RA, all had very limited success. The main reason for this is the exhibited toxicity of the intracellularly accumulated RA. To avoid this issue, we genetically modified a Starmerella bombicola strain by engineering its native sophorolipid production pathway to direct the synthesized RA bound with sophorolipid to be secreted out of the cell, followed by acid hydrolysis to recover RA. The engineered S. bombicola strain expressing the heterologous codon-optimized oleate hydroxylase-encoding gene from ergot fungus Claviceps purpurea resulted in a record production titer of RA at about 2.96 g/L. Thus, this work highlights a new strategy to produce a high level of hydroxy fatty acids in engineered yeast through a sophorolipid intermediate, enabling a new biocatalysis platform for the future.

Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Potential of Scenedesmus obliquus Microalgae in the Context of Integral Biorefinery Concept. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27020519.

Abstract
Small-scale photobioreactors (PBRs) in the inoculum stage were designed with internal (red or green) and external white LED light as an initial step of a larger-scale installation aimed at fulfilling the integral biorefinery concept for maximum utilization of microalgal biomass in a multifunctional laboratory. The specific growth rate of Scenedesmus obliquus (Turpin) Kützing biomass for given cultural conditions was analyzed by using MAPLE software. For the determination of total polyphenols, flavonoids, chlorophyll “a” and “b”, carotenoids and lipids, UHPLC-HRMS, ISO-20776/1, ISO-10993-5 and CUPRAC tests were carried out. Under red light growing, a higher content of polyphenols was found, while the green light favoured the flavonoid accumulation in the biomass. Chlorophylls, carotenoids and lipids were in the same order of magnitude in both samples. The dichloromethane extracts obtained from the biomass of each PBR synergistically potentiated at low concentrations (0.01–0.05 mg/mL) the antibacterial activity of penicillin, fluoroquinolones or oregano essential oil against the selected food-borne pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) without showing any in vitro cytotoxicity. Both extracts exhibited good cupric ion-reducing antioxidant capacity at concentrations above 0.042–0.08 mg/mL. The UHPLC-HRMS analysis revealed that both extracts contained long chain fatty acids and carotenoids thus explaining their antibacterial and antioxidant potential. The applied engineering approach showed a great potential to modify microalgae metabolism for the synthesis of target compounds by S. obliquus with capacity for the development of health-promoting nutraceuticals for poultry farming.

Abstract
Natural products, remains the most important source for the discovery of new drugs for the treatment of human diseases. This has inspired the synthetic community to design and develop mimics of natural products either to answer important questions in biology or to explore their therapeutic potentials. Glycosides present themselves abundantly in nature, right from the cell surface receptors to natural products of any origin. The O-Glycosides are hydrolytically less stable compared to C-glycosides and this feature has presented a great opportunity for drug discovery. The discovery of Dapagliflozin, an SGLT inhibitor and C-glucoside, for the treatment of diabetes is one such example. Aryl acyl-anion chemistry has been explored for the synthesis of 2-deoxy-C-aryl furanoside/pyranoside/septanosides. Besides success, the studies have provided valuable insight into the natural propensities of the architectural framework for the cascade to furan derivatives. The aryl acyl-anion chemistry has also enabled the synthesis of biologically active diaryl heptanoids. Inspired from sucesss of Dapagliflozin, new analogues have been synthesized with pyridine and isocoumarin heterocycle as the proximal ring. C-glucosides of isoliquiritigenin have been synthesized for the first time and evaluated as an efficient aldose reductase inhibitor. The synthesis and evaluation of acyl-C-β-D-glucosides and benzyl-C-β-D-glucoside as glucose-uptake promoters has revealed promise in small molecules. The concept of building blocks has been used to obtain natural oxylipins, D-xylo and L-xylo-configured alkane tetrols and novel lipophilic ketones with erythro/threo configured trihydroxy polar head-group as possible anti-mycobacterial agents.

Oleate Hydratase from Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103: A FADH2-Dependent Enzyme with Remarkable Industrial Potential. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
Recently, we described the preparation of the recombinant oleate hydratase from Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103. We observed that the purified C-terminal His-tagged enzyme was completely inactive and the catalytic activity was partially restored only in presence of a large amount of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). In the present work, we assess that this hydratase in the presence of the reduced form of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) is at least one hundred times as active as in the presence of the same concentration of FAD. By means of two different biochemical processes, we demonstrated unambiguously that oleate hydratase from Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103 is a FADH2-dependent enzyme. As a first relevant application of this discovery, we devised a preparative procedure for the stereoselective synthesis of (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid. Accordingly, the hydration of oleic acid (up to 50 g/L) is performed on a multigram scale using the recombinant hydratase and FADH2 generated in situ as cofactor. The produced (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid (ee > 97%) precipitates from the reaction solvent (water/glycerol/ethanol) and is conveniently recovered by simple filtration (>90% yield).

Abstract
Microbes use signaling factors for intraspecies and interspecies communications. While many intraspecies signaling factors have been found and characterized, discovery of factors for interspecies communication is lagging behind. To facilitate the discovery of such factors, we explored the potential of a mixed microbial culture (MMC) derived from wheatgrass, in which heterogeneity of this microbial community might elicit signaling factors for interspecies communication. The stability of Wheatgrass MMC in terms of community structure and metabolic output was first characterized by 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon sequencing and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), respectively. In addition, detailed MS analyses led to the identification of 12-hydroxystearic acid (12-HSA) as one of the major metabolites produced by Wheatgrass MMC. Stereochemical analysis revealed that Wheatgrass MMC produces mostly the (R)-isomer, although a small amount of the (S)-isomer was also observed. Furthermore, 12-HSA was found to modulate planktonic growth and biofilm formation of various marine bacterial strains. The current study suggests that naturally derived MMCs could serve as a simple and reproducible platform to discover potential signaling factors for interspecies communication. In addition, the study indicates that hydroxylated long-chain fatty acids, such as 12-HSA, may constitute a new class of interspecies signaling factors.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) mediated enzymatic hydroxylation of fatty acids present a green alternative to chemical synthesis of hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs), which are high-value oleochemicals with various uses in materials industry and medical field. Although many CYPs require the presence of additional reductase proteins for catalytic activity, self-sufficient CYPs have their reductase partner naturally fused into their catalytic domain, leading to a greatly simplified biotransformation process. A recently discovered self-sufficient CYP, BAMF2522 from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DSM 7, exhibits novel regioselectivity by hydroxylating in-chain positions of palmitic acid generating ω-1 to ω-7 HFAs, a rare regiodiversity profile among CYPs. Besides, F89I mutant of BAMF2522 expanded hydroxylation up to ω-9 position of palmitic acid. Here, we further characterize this enzyme by determining optimum temperature and pH as well as thermal stability. Moreover, using extensive site-directed and site-saturation mutagenesis, we obtained BAMF2522 variants that demonstrate greatly increased regioselectivity for in-chain positions (ω-4 to ω-9) of various medium to long chain fatty acids. Remarkably, when a six-residue mutant was reacted with palmitic acid, 84% of total product content was the sum of ω-7, ω-8 and ω-9 HFA products, the highest in-chain selectivity observed to date with a self-sufficient CYP. In short, our study demonstrates the potential of a recently identified CYP and its mutants for green and sustainable production of a variety of in-chain hydroxy enriched HFAs.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen capable of causing serious infections associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Due to its antimicrobial drug resistance profile, A. baumannii is categorized as an urgent priority pathogen by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States and a priority group 1 critical microorganism by the World Health Organization. Understanding how A. baumannii adapts to different host environments may provide critical insights into strategically targeting this pathogen with novel antimicrobial and biological therapeutics. Exposure to human fluids was previously shown to alter the gene expression profile of a highly drug-susceptible A. baumannii strain A118 leading to persistence and survival of this pathogen. Herein, we explore the impact of human pleural fluid (HPF) and human serum albumin (HSA) on the gene expression profile of a highly multi-drug-resistant strain of A. baumannii AB5075. Differential expression was observed for ~30 genes, whose products are involved in quorum sensing, quorum quenching, iron acquisition, fatty acid metabolism, biofilm formation, secretion systems, and type IV pilus formation. Phenotypic and further transcriptomic analysis using quantitative RT-PCR confirmed RNA-seq data and demonstrated a distinctive role of HSA as the molecule involved in A. baumannii’s response.

Abstract
Waste-cooking oil (WCO) is defined as vegetable oil that has been used to fry food at high temperatures. The annual global generation of WCO is 41-67 million tons. Without proper treatment, most WCO is abandoned in sinks and the solid residue of WCO is disposed of in landfills, resulting in serious environmental problems. Recycling and valorizing WCO have received considerable attention to reduce its negative impact on ecosystems. To convert WCO into a high value-added compound, we aimed to produce sophorolipids (SLs) that are industrially important biosurfactants, using WCO as a hydrophobic substrate by the fed-batch fermentation of Starmerella bombicola. The SLs concentration was increased ~3.7-fold compared with flask culture (315.6 vs. 84.8 g/L), which is the highest value ever generated from WCO. To expand the applications of SLs, we prepared methyl hydroxy branched fatty acids (MHBFAs) from SLs, which are important chemicals for various industries yet difficult to produce by chemical methods, using a bio-chemical hybrid approach. We synthesized bio-based plastics using MHBFAs as co-monomers. Compared with the control polymer without MHBFAs, even the incorporation of 1 mol% into polymer chains improved mechanical properties (such as ultimate tensile strength, 1.1-fold increase; toughness, 1.3-fold increase). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to apply MHBFAs from SLs derived from WCO to building blocks of plastics. Thus, we extended the valorization areas of WCO to one of the world's largest industries.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for antimicrobial agents and the spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogens, the exploitation of plant oils to partly replace antibiotic emerges as an important source of fine chemicals, functional food utility and pharmaceutical industries. This work introduces a novel catalytic method of plant oils hydroxylation by Fe(III) citrate monohydrate (Fe3+-cit.)/Na2S2O8 catalyst. Methyl (9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoate (ML) was selected as an example of vegetable oils hydroxylation to its hydroxy-conjugated derivatives (CHML) in the presence of a new complex of Fe(II)-species. Methyl 9,12-di-hydroxyoctadecanoate 1, methyl-9-hydroxyoctadecanoate 2 and methyl (10E,12E)-octadecanoate 3 mixtures is produced under optimized condition with oxygen balloon. The specific hydroxylation activity was lower in the case of using Na2S2O8 alone as a catalyst. A chemical reaction has shown the main process converted of plantoils hydroxylation and (+ 16 Da) of OH- attached at the methyl linoleate (ML-OH). HPLC and MALDI-ToF-mass spectrometry were employed for determining the obtained products. It was found that adding oxidizing agents (Na2S2O8) to Fe3+ in the MeCN mixture with H2O would generate the new complex of Fe(II)-species, which improves the C-H activation. Hence, the present study demonstrated a new functional method for better usage of vegetable oils.Producing conjugated hydroxy-fatty acids/esters with better antipathogenic properties. CHML used in food industry, It has a potential pathway to food safety and packaging process with good advantages, fundamental to microbial resistance. Lastly, our findings showed that biological monitoring of CHML-minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) inhibited growth of various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in vitro study. The produced CHML profiles were comparable to the corresponding to previousstudies and showed improved the inhibition efficiency over the respective kanamycin derivatives.![]()

Abstract
Olive-derived biomass is not only a renewable bioenergy resource but also it can be a source of bioproducts, including antioxidants. In this study, the antioxidant composition of extracted olive pomace (EOP) and a new byproduct, the residual fraction from olive pit cleaning (RFOPC or residual pulp) was characterized and compared to olive leafy biomass, which have been extensively studied as a source of antioxidants and other bioactive compounds with pharmacological properties. The chemical characterization showed that these byproducts contain a high amount of extractives; in the case of EOP, it was even higher (52.9%) than in olive leaves (OL) and olive mill leaves (OML) (35.8-45.1%). Then, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was applied to recover antioxidants from the extractive fraction of these biomasses. The solubilization of antioxidants was much higher for EOP, correlating well with the extractives content and the total extraction yield. Accordingly, this also affected the phenolic richness of the extracts and the differences between all biomasses were diminished. In any case, the phenolic profile and the hydroxytyrosol cluster were different. While OL, OML, and EOP contained mainly hydroxytyrosol derivatives and flavones, RFOPC presented novel trilignols. Other compounds were also characterized, including secoiridoids, hydroxylated fatty acids, triterpenoids, among others, depending on the bioresource. Moreover, after the UAE extraction step, alkaline extraction was applied recovering a liquid and a solid fraction. While the solid fraction could of interest for further valorization as a biofuel, the liquid fraction contained proteins, sugars, and soluble lignin, which conferred antioxidant properties to these extracts, and whose content depended on the biomass and conditions applied.

Abstract
Alteration in lipid composition is an important metabolic adaptation by cancer cells to support tumorigenesis and metastasis. Fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H) introduces a chiral hydroxyl group at the second carbon of fatty acid (FA) backbones and influences lipid structures and metabolic signaling. However, the underlying mechanisms through which FA 2-hydroxylation is coupled to metabolic adaptation and tumor growth remain elusive. Here, we show that FA2H regulates specific metabolic reprogramming and oncogenic signaling in the development of colorectal cancer. FA2H is highly expressed in normal colorectal tissues. Assessments through deciphering both published high-throughput data and curated human colorectal cancer samples revealed significant suppression of FA2H in tumors, which is correlated with unfavorable prognosis. Experiments with multiple models of genetic manipulation or treatment with an enzymatic product of FA2H, (R)-2-hydroxy palmitic acid, demonstrated that FA 2-hydroxylation inhibits colorectal cancer cell proliferation, migration, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition progression, and tumor growth. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that FA2H functions through AMP-activated protein kinase/Yes-associated protein (AMPK/YAP) pathway, which was confirmed in colorectal cancer cells, as well as in tumors. Lipidomics analysis revealed an accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cells with FA2H overexpression, which may contribute to the observed nutrient deficiency and AMPK activation. Collectively, these data demonstrate that FA 2-hydroxylation initiates a metabolic signaling cascade to suppress colorectal tumor growth and metastasis via the YAP transcriptional axis and provides a strategy to improve colorectal cancer treatment. SIGNIFICANCE: These findings identify a novel metabolic mechanism regulating the tumor suppressor function of FA 2-hydroxylation in colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Hydroxy fatty acids are a class of bioactive compounds in a variety of organisms. The identification of hydroxy fatty acids in biological samples has still been a challenge because of their low abundance, high structural similarity, and limited availability of authentic hydroxy fatty acid standards. Here, we present a strategy for the annotation of saturated monohydroxyl fatty acids (OH-FAs) based on the integration of chromatographic retention rules and MS2 fragmentation patterns. Thirty-nine authentic OH-FA standards were used to investigate their retention behavior on a reversed-phase stationary phase (C18) of liquid chromatography, and we found that their retention simultaneously follows two kinds of "carbon number rules". Using the "carbon number rules", the retention index (RI) of all OH-FAs that contain carbon numbers from 8 to 18 (C8-18) can be predicted. Additionally, by studying the MS2 fragmentation of OH-FAs under collision-induced dissociation, we found that the intensity ratio (IR) of the characteristic fragment ions ([M + H]+-63 and [M + H]+-45) is closely related to the position of the hydroxyl group on the OH-FA structure, which is helpful to further identify and confirm the OH-FA isomers. As a result, 97 of 107 potential OH-FAs detected in honey, human serum, and rice seedling by chemical isotope labeling-assisted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were annotated upon the RI matching and IR confirming. Furthermore, in order to simplify the annotation process of OH-FAs, we constructed an OH-FA library to facilitate the annotation of OH-FAs. Overall, this study provides a new and promising tool for the in-depth annotation of OH-FA isomers.

Abstract
Different microbial strains are able to transform oleic acid (OA) into 10-hydroxystearic acid (10-HSA) by means of the catalytic activity of the enzymes oleate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.53). Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103 performs this biotransformation with very high stereoselectivity, affording enantiopure (R)-10-HSA. In this work, we cloned, in Escherichia coli, the oleate hydratase present in the above-mentioned probiotic strain. Our study demonstrated that the obtained recombinant hydratase retains the catalytic properties of the Lactobacillus strain but that its activity was greatly affected by the expression procedure. According to our findings, we devised a reliable procedure for the hydration of oleic acid using a recombinant E. coli whole-cell catalyst. We established that the optimal reaction conditions were pH 6.6 at 28 °C in phosphate buffer, using glycerol and ethanol as co-solvents. According to our experimental protocol, the biocatalyst does not show significant substrate inhibition as the hydration reaction can be performed at high oleic acid concentration (up to 50 g/L).

Abstract
The quality of fermented sausage is strongly influenced by its fatty acid (FA). However, the role of a defined starter culture in modifying sausage FA composition, and especially in the production of hydroxy FAs (HFAs), has not been determined. In this study, the FA compositions of sausages fermented with Latilactobacillus sakei, with L. sakei plus Staphylococcus carnosus, and with an aseptic control were characterized by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS and gas chromatography-MS. The sausages fermented with L. sakei, and with L. sakei plus S. carnosus, showed a reduced accumulation of poly and/or diunsaturated FAs and distinct composition of HFAs compared to the aseptic control. 2-HFAs were enriched via high-speed counter-current chromatography and identified uniquely in the L. sakei plus S. carnosus fermented sausage. Through lipid analyses, this study illustrated how the choice of a defined starter culture affected the observed FA metabolism in fermented sausages, facilitating the development of starter cultures or additives that impart desirable characteristics to sausage.

Abstract
Selective oxy‐functionalization of nonactivated C‐H bonds is a long‐standing “dream reaction” of organic synthesis for which chemical methodology is not well developed. Mono‐oxygenase enzymes are promising catalysts for such oxy‐functionalization to establish. Limitation on their applicability arises from low reaction output. Here, we showed an integrated approach of process engineering to the intensification of the cytochrome P450 BM3‐catalyzed hydroxylation of dodecanoic acid (C12:0). Using P450 BM3 together with glucose dehydrogenase for regeneration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), we compared soluble and co‐immobilized enzymes in O2‐gassed and pH‐controlled conversions at high final substrate concentrations (≥40mM). We identified the main engineering parameters of process output (i.e., O2 supply; mixing correlated with immobilized enzyme stability; foam control correlated with product isolation; substrate solubilization) and succeeded in disentangling their complex interrelationship for systematic process optimization. Running the reaction at O2‐limited conditions at up to 500‐ml scale (10% dimethyl sulfoxide; silicone antifoam), we developed a substrate feeding strategy based on O2 feedback control. Thus, we achieved high reaction rates of 1.86g·L−1·hr−1 and near complete conversion (≥90%) of 80mM (16g/L) C12:0 with good selectivity (≤5% overoxidation). We showed that “uncoupled reaction” of the P450 BM3 (~95% utilization of NADPH and O2 not leading to hydroxylation) with the C12:0 hydroxylated product limited the process efficiency at high product concentration. Hydroxylated product (~7g; ≥92% purity) was recovered from 500ml reaction in 82% yield using ethyl‐acetate extraction. Collectively, these results demonstrate key engineering parameters for the biocatalytic oxy‐functionalization and show their integration into a coherent strategy for process intensification.

Abstract
Nocardia cholesterolicum NRRL 5767 is well-known for its ability to convert oleic acid to 10-hydroxystearic acid (~88%, w/w) and 10-ketostearic acid (~11%, w/w). Conversion of oleic acid to 10-hydroxystearic acid and then to 10-ketostearic acid has been proposed to be catalyzed by oleate hydratase and secondary alcohol dehydrogenase, respectively. Hydroxy fatty acids are value-added with many industrial applications. The objective of this study was to improve the Nocardia cholesterolicum NRRL5767 strain by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology to knockout the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase gene, thus blocking the conversion of 10-hydroxystearic acid to 10-ketostearic acid. The improved strain would produce 10-hydroxystearic acid solely from oleic acid. Such improvement would enhance the production of 10-hydroxystearic acid by eliminating downstream separation of 10-hydroxystearic acid from 10-ketostearic acid. Here, we report: (1) Molecular cloning and characterization of two functional recombinant oleate hydratase isozymes and a functional recombinant secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from Nocardia cholesterolicum NRRL5767. Existence of two oleate hydratase isozymes may explain the high conversion yield of 10-hydroxystearic acid from oleic acid. (2) Construction of a CRISPR/Cas9/sgRNA chimeric plasmid that specifically targeted the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase gene by Golden Gate Assembly. (3) Transformation of the chimeric plasmid into Nocardia cholesterolicum NRRL 5767 by electroporation and screening of secondary alcohol dehydrogenase knockout mutants. Two mutants were validated by their lack of secondary alcohol dehydrogenase activity at the protein level and mutation at the targeted 5’ coding region and the 5’ upstream at the DNA level. The knockout mutants offer improvements by converting added oleic acid to solely 10-hydroxystearic acid, thus eliminating downstream separation of 10-hydroxystearic acid from 10-ketostearic acid. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first successful knockout of a target gene in the Nocardia species using CRISPR/Cas9/sgRNA-mediated genome editing technology.

Abstract
The utilization of hydroxy fatty acids has gained more and more attention due to its applicability in many industrial building blocks that require it, for example, polymers or fragrances. Furthermore, hydroxy fatty acids are accessible from biorenewables, thus contributing to a more sustainable raw material basis for industrial chemicals. Therefore, a range of investigations were done on fatty acid hydratases (FAHs), since these enzymes catalyze the addition of water to an unsaturated fatty acid, thus providing an elegant route towards hydroxy-substituted fatty acids. Besides the discovery and characterization of fatty acid hydratases (FAHs), the design and optimization of syntheses with these enzymes, the implementation in elaborate cascades, and the improvement of these biocatalysts, by way of mutation in terms of the substrate scope, has been investigated. This mini-review focuses on the research done on process development using fatty acid hydratases as a catalyst. It is notable that biotransformations, running at impressive substrate loadings of up to 280 g L−1, have been realized. A further topic of this mini-review is the implementation of fatty acid hydratases in cascade reactions. In such cascades, fatty acid hydratases were, in particular, combined with alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH), Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMO), transaminases (TA) and hydrolases, thus enabling access to a broad variety of molecules that are of industrial interest.

Abstract
This study investigated the capability of selected autochthonous lactic acid bacteria to enrich the portfolio of bioactive compounds of avocado fruit (Persea americana Mill.), with the perspective of producing dietary supplements or pharmaceutical preparations. Fermented avocado puree resulted in high levels of total free amino acids. Fermentation also led to a marked increase of antioxidant activity, with the highest levels found in water and hexane soluble extracts. Bio-converted phenolic compounds and fatty acids derivatives resulting from bacterial metabolism were likely responsible for the increased antioxidant activity. Fermentation caused the fortification of avocado puree with some hydroxy fatty acids, which deserved marked attention due to their health-promoting activities. Oleic and linoleic acids were highly metabolized by Lactobacillus plantarum AVEF17, leading to high levels of mono, di-, and tri-hydroxy-octadecenoic acids.

Abstract
In this work, we studied the biotechnological potential of thirteen probiotic microorganisms currently used to improve human health. We discovered that the majority of the investigated bacteria are able to catalyze the hydration reaction of the unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs). We evaluated their biocatalytic activity toward the three most common vegetable UFAs, namely oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. The whole-cell biotransformation experiments were performed using a fatty acid concentration of 3 g/L in anaerobic conditions. Through these means, we assessed that the main part of the investigated strains catalyzed the hydration reaction of UFAs with very high regio- and stereoselectivity. Our biotransformation reactions afforded almost exclusively 10-hydroxy fatty acid derivatives with the single exception of Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC SD5212, which converted linoleic acid in a mixture of 13-hydroxy and 10-hydroxy derivatives. Oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were transformed into (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid, (S)-(12Z)-10-hydroxy-octadecenoic, and (S)-(12Z,15Z)-10-hydroxy-octadecadienoic acids, respectively, usually with very high enantiomeric purity (ee > 95%). It is worth noting that the biocatalytic capabilities of the thirteen investigated strains may change considerably from each other, both in terms of activity, stereoselectivity, and transformation yields. Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103 and Lactobacillus plantarum 299 V proved to be the most versatile, being able to efficiently and selectively hydrate all three investigated fatty acids.
