Abstract
Due to the increasing demand for natural food ingredients, including taste-active compounds, enzyme-catalyzed conversions of natural substrates, such as flavonoids, are promising tools to align with the principles of Green Chemistry. In this study, a novel O-methyltransferase activity was identified in the mycelium of Lentinula edodes, which was successfully applied to generate the taste-active flavonoids hesperetin, hesperetin dihydrochalcone, homoeriodictyol, and homoeriodictyol dihydrochalcone. Furthermore, the mycelium-mediated OMT activity allowed for the conversion of various catecholic substrates, yielding their respective (iso-)vanilloids, while monohydroxylated compounds were not converted. By means of a bottom-up proteomics approach, three putative O-methyltransferases were identified, and subsequently, synthetic, codon-optimized genes were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified enzymes confirmed the biocatalytic O-methylation activity against targeted flavonoids containing catechol motifs.

Abstract
Increasing consumer aversion to non-natural flavoring substances is prompting a heightened interest in enzymatic processes for flavor production. This includes methylation reactions, which are often performed by using hazardous chemicals. By correlation of aroma profile data and transcriptomic analysis, a novel O-methyltransferase (OMT) catalyzing a respective reaction within the formation of p-anisaldehyde was identified in the mushroom Pleurotus sapidus. Heterologous expression in E. coli followed by purification allowed for further characterization of the enzyme. Besides p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, the proposed precursor of p-anisaldehyde, the enzyme catalyzed the methylation of further hydroxylated aromatic compounds at the meta- and para-position. The Km values determined for p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and S-adenosyl-l-methionine were 80 and 107 μM, respectively. Surprisingly, the studied enzyme enabled the transmethylation of thiol-nucleophiles, as indicated by the formation of 2-methyl-3-(methylthio)furan from 2-methyl-3-furanthiol. Moreover, the enzyme was crystallized at a resolution of 2.0 Å, representing the first published crystal structure of a basidiomycetous OMT.

Abstract
The aromatic hetero-polymer lignin is industrially processed in the paper/pulp and lignocellulose biorefinery, acting as a major energy source. It has been proven to be a natural resource for useful bioproducts; however, its depolymerization and conversion into high-value-added chemicals is the major challenge due to the complicated structure and heterogeneity. Conversely, the various pre-treatments techniques and valorization strategies offers a potential solution for developing a biomass-based biorefinery. Thus, the current review focus on the new isolation techniques for lignin, various pre-treatment approaches and biocatalytic methods for the synthesis of sustainable value-added products. Meanwhile, the challenges and prospective for the green synthesis of various biomolecules via utilizing the complicated hetero-polymer lignin are also discussed.

Abstract
Proper management of agricultural disease is important to ensure sustainable food security. Staple food crops like rice, wheat, cereals, and other cash crops hold great export value for countries. Ensuring proper supply is critical; hence any biotic or abiotic factors contributing to the shortfall in yield of these crops should be alleviated. Rhizoctonia solani is a major biotic factor that results in yield losses in many agriculturally important crops. This paper focuses on genome informatics of our Malaysian Draft R. solani AG1-IA, and the comparative genomics (inter- and intra- AG) with four AGs including China AG1-IA (AG1-IA_KB317705.1), AG1-IB, AG3, and AG8. The genomic content of repeat elements, transposable elements (TEs), syntenic genomic blocks, functions of protein-coding genes as well as core orthologous genic information that underlies R. solani’s pathogenicity strategy were investigated. Our analyses show that all studied AGs have low content and varying profiles of TEs. All AGs were dominant for Class I TE, much like other basidiomycete pathogens. All AGs demonstrate dominance in Glycoside Hydrolase protein-coding gene assignments suggesting its importance in infiltration and infection of host. Our profiling also provides a basis for further investigation on lack of correlation observed between number of pathogenicity and enzyme-related genes with host range. Despite being grouped within the same AG with China AG1-IA, our Draft AG1-IA exhibits differences in terms of protein-coding gene proportions and classifications. This implies that strains from similar AG do not necessarily have to retain similar proportions and classification of TE but must have the necessary arsenal to enable successful infiltration and colonization of host. In a larger perspective, all the studied AGs essentially share core genes that are generally involved in adhesion, penetration, and host colonization. However, the different infiltration strategies will depend on the level of host resilience where this is clearly exhibited by the gene sets encoded for the process of infiltration, infection, and protection from host.

Abstract
Fermentation dynamics and benzylic derivative production were evaluated in the fermentation broth of six different Ischnoderma resinosum (P. Karst) isolates over a period of 30 days to understand their potential applications in bioreactor optimization for natural flavor compound production. d-Glucose and d-fructose levels decreased from 20.4 ± 0.4 to 7.1 ± 1.4 g/L and 1.0 ± 0.1 to <0.1 g/L, respectively, in all fermentations. Isolate I2 produced the highest concentration of ethanol (546. 4 ± 0.4 mg/L). l-Lactic acid production varied between 4.3 ± 0.6 and 3.7 ± 0.2 mg/L, whereas acetic acid concentrations decreased from 81.0 ± 3.3 to <40.0 mg/L. pH decreased from 4.9 ± 0.0 to 3.6 ± 0.4 at the end of 30 days in all fermentations. Isolate I3 was the highest producer of benzaldehyde (BA) (12.0 ± 0.2 mg/kg) and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (4-MBA) (239.6 ± 3.9 mg/kg), while isolate I4 was the highest producer of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (3,4-DMBA) (27.8 ± 0.2 mg/18 kg). Identification of isolate I3 as a high BA and 4-MBA producer and isolate I4 as a high 3,4-DMBA producer suggested differential benzylic derivative production among I. resinosum isolates. This study lays the foundation for future investigations evaluating additional I. resinosum isolates for benzylic derivative production as well as studies aimed at bioreactor optimization with potential commercial application.

Abstract
Grain stillage from the liquor industry was pretreated by using microwave-assisted hydrothermal pretreatment, fungal pretreatments, and their combination to enable efficient enzymatic hydrolysis for sugar production. The microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MH) pretreatment was optimized by using a response surface methodology, and the respective maximum reducing sugar yield and saccharification efficiency of 17.59 g/100 g and 33.85%, respectively, were achieved under the pretreatment conditions of microwave power = 120 W, solid-to-liquid ratio = 1:15 (g·mL-1), and time = 3.5 min. The fungal pretreatment with Phanerochaete chrysosporium digestion (PC) achieved the maximum ligninolytic enzyme activities in 6 days with 10% inoculum size at which the reducing sugar yield and saccharification efficiency reached 19.74 g/100 g and 36.29%, respectively. To further improve the pretreatment efficiency, MH and PC pretreatments were combined, but the sequence of MH and PC mattered on the saccharification efficiency. The MH + PC pretreatment (the MH prior to the PC) was better than PC + MH (the PC prior to the MH) in terms of saccharification efficiency. Overall, the MH + PC pretreatment achieved superior reducing sugar yield and saccharification efficiency (25.51 g/100 g and 66.28%, respectively) over all other studied pretreatment methods. The variations of chemical compositions and structure features of the raw and pretreated grain stillage were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results reveal that both MH and PC pretreatments mainly functioned on delignification and decreasing cellulose crystallinity, thus enhancing the enzymatic saccharification of the pretreated grain stillage. The combined MH and PC pretreatment could be a promising method to enable cost-efficient grain stillage utilization for downstream applications such as biofuels.

Abstract
Employing isotope incubation studies, the biosynthetic pathway leading to a series of benzylic derivatives was elucidated in the fermentation broth of the edible mushroom Ischnoderma resinosum (P. Karst). Twenty-six hydroxy- and methoxy- benzylic derivatives were screened by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of which 13 were detected in the culture media. Results from the isotope incubation studies showed the transformation of both benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid into benzaldehyde. Benzaldehyde was then converted into 4-methoxybenzaldehyde via hydroxylation and subsequent methylation of the 4-C position. The resulting 4-methoxybenzaldehyde was then hydroxylated in the 3-C position followed by methylation into 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. Based on these findings, a novel metabolic scheme for the biosynthesis of benzylic derivatives in I. resinosum was proposed. The knowledge of the biosynthetic pathway was utilized to produce 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin) from 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (vanillic acid). This is the first report to elucidate the biosynthetic pathway of benzyl derivatives and production of vanillin from I. resinosum.

Abstract
The biomass-degrading fungus Trichoderma reesei has been considered a model for cellulose degradation, and it is the primary source of the industrial enzymatic cocktails used in second-generation (2G) ethanol production. However, although various studies and advances have been conducted to understand the cellulolytic system and the transcriptional regulation of T. reesei, the whole set of genes related to lignocellulose degradation has not been completely elucidated. In this study, we inferred a weighted gene co-expression network analysis based on the transcriptome dataset of the T. reesei RUT-C30 strain aiming to identify new target genes involved in sugarcane bagasse breakdown. In total, ~70% of all the differentially expressed genes were found in 28 highly connected gene modules. Several cellulases, sugar transporters, and hypothetical proteins coding genes upregulated in bagasse were grouped into the same modules. Among them, a single module contained the most representative core of cellulolytic enzymes (cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase, β-glucosidase, and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase). In addition, functional analysis using Gene Ontology (GO) revealed various classes of hydrolytic activity, cellulase activity, carbohydrate binding and cation:sugar symporter activity enriched in these modules. Several modules also showed GO enrichment for transcription factor activity, indicating the presence of transcriptional regulators along with the genes involved in cellulose breakdown and sugar transport as well as other genes encoding proteins with unknown functions. Highly connected genes (hubs) were also identified within each module, such as predicted transcription factors and genes encoding hypothetical proteins. In addition, various hubs contained at least one DNA binding site for the master activator Xyr1 according to our in silico analysis. The prediction of Xyr1 binding sites and the co-expression with genes encoding carbohydrate active enzymes and sugar transporters suggest a putative role of these hubs in bagasse cell wall deconstruction. Our results demonstrate a vast range of new promising targets that merit additional studies to improve the cellulolytic potential of T. reesei strains and to decrease the production costs of 2G ethanol.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) can interfere with endocrine systems and bio-accumulate through the food chain and even decrease biodiversity in contaminated areas. This review discusses a critical overview of recent research progress in the biotransformation of EDCs (including polychlorinated biphenyl and nonylphenol, and suspected EDCs such as heavy metals and sulfonamide antibiotics) by white rot fungi (WRF) based on techniques with an emphasis on summarizing and analyzing fungal molecular, metabolic and genetic mechanisms. Not only intracellular metabolism which seems to perform essential roles in the ability of WRF to transform EDCs, but also advanced applications are deeply discussed. This review mainly reveals the removal pathway of heavy metal and antibiotic pollutants because the single pollution almost did not exist in a real environment while the combined pollution has become more serious and close to people's life. The trends in WRF technology and its related advanced applications which use the combined technology, including biocatalysis of WRF and adsorption of nanomaterials, to degrade EDCs have also been introduced. Furthermore, challenges and future research needs EDCs biotransformation by WRF are also discussed. This research, referring to metabolic mechanisms and the combined technology of WRF with nanomaterials, undoubtedly contributes to the applications of biotechnology. This review will be of great benefit to an understanding of the trends in biotechnology for the removal of EDCs.

Abstract
The global push toward an efficient and economical biobased economy has driven research to develop more cost-effective applications for the entirety of plant biomass, including lignocellulosic crops. As discussed elsewhere (Karlsson M, Atanasova L, Funck Jensen D, Zeilinger S, in Heitman J et al. [ed], Tuberculosis and the Tubercle Bacillus, 2nd ed, in press), significant progress has been made in the use of polysaccharide fractions from lignocellulose, cellulose, and various hemicellulose types. However, developing processes for use of the lignin fraction has been more challenging. In this chapter, we discuss characteristics of lignolytic enzymes and the fungi that produce them as well as potential and current uses of lignin-derived products.

Abstract
Atrazine (ATR) as a toxic herbicide has become one of the seriously environmental contaminants worldwide due to its long-term intensive use in crop production. This study identified novel methyltransferases (MTs) involved in detoxification and degradation of ATR residues in rice plants. From a subset of MTs differentially expressed in ATR-exposed rice, forty-four O-methyltransferase genes were investigated. Total activities were significantly enhanced by ATR in rice tissues. To prove detoxifying capacity of the MTs in rice plants, two rice O-MTs (LOC_Os04g09604 and LOC_Os11g15040) were selected and transformed into yeast cells (Pichia pastoris X-33). The positive transformants accumulated less ATR and showed less toxicity. Using UPLC-TOF-MS/MS, ATR-degraded products in rice and yeast cells were characterized. A novel O-methylated-modified metabolite (atraton) and six other ATR-derivatives were detected. The topological interaction between LOC_Os04g09604 enzyme and its substrate was specially analyzed by homology modeling programs, which was well confirmed by the molecular docking analysis. The significance of the study is to provide a better understanding of mechanisms for the specific detoxification and degradation of ATR residues in rice growing in environmentally relevant ATR-contaminated soils and may hold a potential engineering perspective for generating ATR-resistant rice that helps to minimize ATR residues in crops.
