Abstract
Aureobasidium is omnipresent and can be isolated from air, water bodies, soil, wood, and other plant materials, as well as inorganic materials such as rocks and marble. A total of 32 species of this fungal genus have been identified at the level of DNA, of which Aureobasidium pullulans is best known. Aureobasidium is of interest for a sustainable economy because it can be used to produce a wide variety of compounds, including enzymes, polysaccharides, and biosurfactants. Moreover, it can be used to promote plant growth and protect wood and crops. To this end, Aureobasidium cells adhere to wood or plants by producing extracellular polysaccharides, thereby forming a biofilm. This biofilm provides a sustainable alternative to petrol-based coatings and toxic chemicals. This and the fact that Aureobasidium biofilms have the potential of self-repair make them a potential engineered living material avant la lettre. KEY POINTS: •Aureobasidium produces products of interest to the industry •Aureobasidium can stimulate plant growth and protect crops •Biofinish of A. pullulans is a sustainable alternative to petrol-based coatings •Aureobasidium biofilms have the potential to function as engineered living materials.

[PMID: 38203490 PMCID: PMC10779298 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Pullulan, which is a microbial exopolysaccharide, has found widespread applications in foods, biomedicines, and cosmetics. Despite its versatility, most wild-type strains tend to yield low levels of pullulan production, and their mutants present genetic instability, achieving a limited increase in pullulan production. Therefore, mining new wild strains with robust pullulan-producing abilities remains an urgent concern. In this study, we found a novel strain, namely, Aureobasidium melanogenum ZH27, that had a remarkable pullulan-producing capacity and optimized its cultivation conditions using the one-factor-at-a-time method. To elucidate the reasons that drove the hyper-production of pullulan, we scrutinized changes in cell morphology and gene expressions. The results reveal that strain ZH27 achieved 115.4 ± 1.82 g/L pullulan with a productivity of 0.87 g/L/h during batch fermentation within 132 h under the optimized condition (OC). This pullulan titer increased by 105% compared with the initial condition (IC). Intriguingly, under the OC, swollen cells featuring 1-2 large vacuoles predominated during a rapid pullulan accumulation, while these swollen cells with one large vacuole and several smaller ones were prevalent under the IC. Moreover, the expressions of genes associated with pullulan accumulation and by-product synthesis were almost all upregulated. These findings suggest that swollen cells and large vacuoles may play pivotal roles in the high level of pullulan production, and the accumulation of by-products also potentially contributes to pullulan synthesis. This study provides a novel and promising candidate for industrial pullulan production.

Abstract
Flavonoids are generally thought to be essential plant natural products with diverse bioactivities and pharmacological effects. Conventional approaches for the industrial production of flavonoids through plant extraction and chemical synthesis face serious economic and environmental challenges. Searching for natural robust flavonoid-producing microorganisms satisfying green and sustainable development is one of the good alternatives. Here, a natural yeast, Trichosporon asahii HZ10, isolated from raw honeycombs, was found to accumulate 146.41 mg/L total flavonoids intracellularly. Also, T. asahii HZ10 represents a broad flavonoid metabolic profiling, covering 40 flavonoids, among which nearly half were silibinin, daidzein, and irigenin trimethyl ether, especially silibinin occupying 21.07% of the total flavonoids. This is the first flavonoid-producing natural yeast strain worldwide. Furthermore, T. asahii HZ10-derived flavonoids represent favorable antioxidant activities. Interestingly, genome mining and transcriptome analysis clearly showed that T. asahii HZ10 possibly evolves a novel flavonoid synthesis pathway for the most crucial step of flavonoid skeleton synthesis, which is different from that in plants and filamentous fungi. Therefore, our results not only enrich the diversity of the natural flavonoid biosynthesis pathway but also pave an alternative way to promote the development of a synthetic biology strategy for the microbial production of flavonoids.

Abstract
Pullulan is a polymer produced by Aureobasidium spp. The yield of pullulan production can be impacted by the cellular differentiation of Aureobasidium spp., which changes with alterations in the growth environment. To improve pullulan yield, identifying key factors that regulate cellular differentiation is crucial. In this study, the main form of pullulan synthesis in Aureobasidium pullulans NG was through swollen cells (SC). The results showed that citric acid (CA) can regulate the cellular differentiation of Aureobasidium pullulans NG by accumulating higher levels of CA in the cells to maintain growth in SC form and increase pullulan production. The addition of 1.0% CA to Aureobasidium pullulans NG for 96 h resulted in a significant increase in pullulan production, producing 18.32 g/l compared to the control group which produced 10.23 g/l. Our findings suggest that controlling cellular differentiation using CA is a promising approach for enhancing pullulan production in Aureobasidium pullulans. KEY POINTS: • The regulation of cell differentiation in Aureobasidium pullulans NG is demonstrated to be influenced by citric acid. • Intracellular citric acid levels in Aureobasidium pullulans NG have been shown to support the growth of swollen cells. • Citric acid has been found to increase pullulan production in Aureobasidium pullulans NG.

Abstract
The effects of light calcium carbonate (CaCO3) on pullulan biosynthesis by Aureobasidium pullulans NCPS2016 were investigated. Light CaCO3 enhanced pullulan production by 12.4 % when added to the low concentration of fructose broth compared with K2HPO4. Pullulan production was further improved when increasing both the concentrations of light CaCO3 and fructose. Compared to K2HPO4, light CaCO3 improved the activities of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, α-phosphoglucose mutase, UDP-glucosyltransferase, and glucosyltransferase relevant to pullulan biosynthesis, and the gene transcriptional levels of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, α-phosphoglucose mutase, UDP-glucosyltransferase, and glucose kinase were enhanced. During 30-liter fermentation, 144.3 g/L of purified pullulan was produced from 200 g/L of fructose and 15 g/L of light CaCO3 within 168 h, with the yield and productivity of 0.72 g/g and 0.86 g/L/h respectively. This is the first report that light CaCO3 improves pullulan production significantly.

Novel chromosomes and genomes provide new insights into evolution and adaptation of the whole genome duplicated yeast-like fungus TN3-1 isolated from natural honey. Funct Integr Genomics 2023; 23:206. [PMID: 37335429 DOI: 10.1007/s10142-023-01127-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
Aureobasidium melanogenum TN3-1 strain and A. melanogenum P16 strain were isolated from the natural honey and the mangrove ecosystem, respectively. The former can produce much higher pullulan from high concentration of glucose than the latter. In order to know what happened to their genomes, the PacBio sequencing and Hi-C technologies were used to create the first high-quality chromosome-level reference genome assembly of A. melanogenum TN3-1 (51.61 Mb) and A. melanogenum P16 (25.82 Mb) with the contig N50 of 2.19 Mb and 2.26 Mb, respectively. Based on the Hi-C results, a total of 93.33% contigs in the TN3-1 strain and 92.31% contigs in the P16 strain were anchored onto 24 and 12 haploid chromosomes, respectively. The genomes of the TN3-1 strain had two subgenomes A and B. Synteny analysis showed that the genomic contents of the two subgenomes were asymmetric with many structural variations. Intriguingly, the TN3-1 strain was revealed as a recent hybrid/fusion between the ancestor of A. melanogenum CBS105.22/CBS110374 and the ancestor of another unidentified strain of A. melanogenum similar to P16 strain. We estimated that the two ancient progenitors diverged around 18.38 Mya and merged around 10.66-9.98 Mya. It was found that in the TN3-1 strain, telomeres of each chromosome contained high level of long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs), but had low level of the telomerase encoding gene. Meanwhile, there were high level of transposable elements (TEs) inserted in the chromosomes of the TN3-1 strain. In addition, the positively selected genes of the TN3-1 strain were mainly enriched in the metabolic processes related to harsh environmental adaptability. Most of the stress-related genes were found to be related to the adjacent LTRs, and the glucose derepression was caused by the mutation of the Glc7-2 in the Snf-Mig1 system. All of these could contribute to its genetic instability, genome evolution, high stress resistance, and high pullulan production from glucose.

The role of pH transcription factor Appacc in upregulation of pullulan biosynthesis in Aureobasidium pullulans using potato waste as a substrate. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124797.

Abstract
pH is one of the important environmental factors affecting the growth, development and secondary metabolites of fungi. To better utilize potato waste for the production of pullulan by fermentation, in this study, the amino acid sequence and structural domain of pH transcription factor Appacc were analyzed using the bioinformatics methods. Appacc showed three typically conserved zinc finger domains, with the closest homology to Zymoseptoria brevis. The function of Appacc was characterized by ΔAppacc and OEXpacc mutants. The mycelium growth of ΔApacc mutants was inhibited, especially, under alkaline conditions. Furthermore, the pullulan production of ΔAppacc mutant was reduced and the expression of pullulan synthetic genes also decreased. Moreover, the OEXpacc mutant further demonstrated that pacc could regulate the expression of pullulan synthesis genes. The yield of pullulan polysaccharide increased from 13.6 g/L to 17.8 g/L by direct fermentation without changing the pH of potato waste. These results suggest that Appacc played a vital role in the growth of Aureobasidium pullulans and that the production of pullulan from potato waste can be increased by overexpression of pacc gene.

Abstract
Pullulan is a linear exopolysaccharide, produced in the fermentation media of Aureobasidium pullulans, with a variety of applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Pullulan derivatives have growing potential for biomedical applications, but the high cost of pullulan biofabrication currently restricts its commercial use. Better control over pullulan yield, molecular weight and melanin production by altering fermentation conditions could improve the economics. In this study, the effects of sugar and mineral salt stresses on the pullulan production of A. pullulans ATCC 42023 were examined in batch processes. The chemical structure of the recovered pullulan was characterized by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy, and the molecular weight distribution was obtained via SEC. Pullulan yield and melanin production varied when the conditions were adjusted, and pullulans with different molar masses were obtained. Higher-yield pullulan production and a lower polydispersity index were observed when CuSO4 was added to the fermentation in comparison with the control and with the addition of sugars and other salts. Biofabrication of pullulan under stress conditions is a promising strategy to enhance biopolymer yield and to obtain pullulan with a targeted molecular weight.

Abstract
The cost of carbon sources and the low efficiency of the fermentation titer limit the industrial application of pullulan. In this study, a hypertonic-tolerant strain with efficient utilization of glucose was obtained using a double strategy. Initially, a strain for efficient synthesis of pullulan from glucose was generated by mutagenesis. Subsequently, the mutant was directionally evolved on the plate containing a high glucose concentration to enhance high osmotic resistance. The enzyme activities and the transcriptional levels involved in pullulan biosynthesis and high osmotic tolerance in mutants were increased. Nitrogen source and inorganic salts also significantly affected the production of pullulan by M233-20 from high concentration of glucose. The pullulan titer of 162.1 g/L was obtained using the response surface methodology in the flask. The strain M233-20 produced 162.3 g/L pullulan in a 30-L bioreactor with a yield of 0.82 g/g glucose. Hence, this work provides a potential industrial pullulan producer M233-20 and a strategy to develop excellent strain.

Diversity investigation of cultivable yeasts associated with honeycombs and identification of a novel Rhodotorula toruloides strain with the robust concomitant production of lipid and carotenoid.

[PMID: 36603754 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.128573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/31/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Oleaginous yeasts-derived microbial lipids provide a promising alternative feedstock for the biodiesel industry. However, hyperosmotic stress caused by high sugar concentration during fermentation significantly prevents high cell density and productivity. Isolation of new robust osmophilic oleaginous species from specific environment possibly resolves this issue to some extent. In this study, the cultivable yeast composition of honeycombs was investigated. Totally, 11 species of honeycomb-associated cultivable yeast were identified and characterized. Among them, an osmophilic yeast strain, designated as Rhodotorula toruloides C23 was featured with excellent lipogenic and carotenogenic capacity and remarkable cell growth using glucose, xylose or glycerol as feedstock, with simultaneous production of 24.41 g/L of lipids and 15.50 mg/L of carotenoids from 120 g/L glucose in 6.7-L fermentation. Comparative transcriptomic analysis showed that C23 had evolved a dedicated molecular regulation mechanism to maintain their high simultaneous accumulation of intracellular lipids and carotenoids and cell growth under high sugar concentration.

Abstract
Pullulan has many potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and environmental industries. However, the yield and molecular properties of pullulan produced by various strains still need to be promoted to fit the application needs. A novel yeast-like strain Aureobasidium pullulans BL06 producing high molecular weight (Mw) pullulan (3.3 × 106 Da) was isolated and identified in this study. The remarkable Mw of pullulan produced by A. pullulans BL06 was the highest level ever reported thus far. To further regulate the biosynthesis of pullulan in A. pullulans BL06, three gene knockout strains A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs, A. pullulans BL06 Δmel, and A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAsΔmel, were constructed. The results showed that A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs could produce 140.2 g/L of moderate Mw (1.3 × 105 Da) pullulan after 120 h of fermentation. The highest yield level of pullulan to date could vastly reduce its production cost and expand its application scope and potential. The application experiments in food preservation showed that the moderate-Mw pullulan obtained in this work could reduce the weight loss of celery cabbages and mangos by 12.5% and 22%, respectively. Thus, the novel strains A. pullulans BL06 and A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs possessed unlimited development prospects in pullulan production at various Mw ranges and pullulan applications in multiple fields.

Abstract
Polysaccharides synthesized by microorganisms (bacterial cellulose, dextran, pullulan, xanthan, etc.) have a set of valuable properties, such as being antioxidants, detoxifying, structuring, being biodegradable, etc., which makes them suitable for a variety of applications. Biocatalysts are the key substances used in producing such polysaccharides; therefore, modern research is focused on the composition and properties of biocatalysts. Biocatalysts determine the possible range of renewable raw materials which can be used as substrates for such synthesis, as well as the biochemistry of the process and the rate of molecular transformations. New biocatalysts are being developed for participating in a widening range of stages of raw material processing. The functioning of biocatalysts can be optimized using the following main approaches of synthetic biology: the use of recombinant biocatalysts, the creation of artificial consortia, the combination of nano- and microbiocatalysts, and their immobilization. New biocatalysts can help expand the variety of the polysaccharides’ useful properties. This review presents recent results and achievements in this field of biocatalysis.

Abstract
Pullulan is a microbial polymer, commercially produced from Aureobasidium pullulans. Downstream processing of pullulan involves a multi-stage process which should be efficient, safe and reproducible. In liquid-liquid separations, firstly cell free extract is separated. Cell biomass can be separated after fermentation either by centrifugation or filtration. Due to practically insolubility of pullulan in organic solvents, ethanol and isopropanol are the most commonly used organic solvents for its recovery. Pullulan can also be purified by chromatographic techniques, but these are not cost effective for the purification of pullulan. Efficient aqueous two-phase system can be used for the purification of pullulan. The current review describes the methods and perspectives used for solid-liquid separation, liquid-liquid separations and finishing steps for the recovery of pullulan. Techniques used to determine the structural attributes of pullulan have also been highlighted.

Abstract
This research aimed to valorize almond hulls based on a zero-waste strategy towards sustainable agricultural developments for the recovery and production of valuable compounds. For this purpose, the potential to produce four products, including pectin (AHP), phenolic compounds (AHPC), pullulan (PUL), and single-cell protein (SCP), was examined. The acidic extraction factors were optimized using a Box-Behnken design for the simultaneous extraction of AHP and AHPC, and the obtained results showed that the maximum AHP (26.32% w/w) and AHPC (6.97% w/w) yields were achieved at 90 °C, pH of 1.4, 58.65 min, and liquid-solid ratio (LSR) of 20.13 v/w as the optimum point. In the next step, the solid residues that remained from the AHP and AHPC extraction process (PESR) were treated with cellulase enzyme and ultrasound and were used for simultaneous microbial production of PUL (34.29-24.56 g/L) and biomass containing SCP (19.31-13.44% w/w). Furthermore, the obtained results showed that AHP was low methylated (26.40%), rich in galacturonic acid (67.88%), and high in molecular weight (595.299 kDa). Also, the investigations of structural properties of AHP and PUL confirmed the presence of chemical structures of these polysaccharides in the formed supernatants. In addition, the AHPC showed considerable antioxidant activity compared with ascorbic acid (ASC) and BHA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Raw materials composed of easily assimilated monosaccharides have been employed as carbon source for production of microbial lipids. Nevertheless, agro-industrial wastes rich in galactose-based carbohydrates have not been introduced as feedstocks for oleaginous yeasts. RESULTS In this study, Aureobasidium namibiae A12 was found to efficiently accumulate lipid from soy molasses and whey powder containing galactose-based carbohydrates, with lipid productions of 5.30 g/L and 5.23 g/L, respectively. Over 80% of the fatty acids was C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, and C18:2. All kinds of single sugar components in the two byproducts were readily converted into lipids, with yields ranging between 0.116 g/g and 0.138 g/g. Three α-galactosidases and five β-galactosidases in the strain were cloned and analyzed. Changes of transcriptional levels indicated GalB and GalC were key α-galactosidases, and GalG was key β-galactosidase. In 10 L fermentor, lipid production from SM and WP achieved 6.45 g/L and 6.13 g/L, respectively. β-galactosidase was responsible for lactose hydrolysis; sucrase and α-galactosidase both contributed to the efficient hydrolysis of raffinose and stachyose in a cooperation manner. CONCLUSIONS This is a new way to produce lipids from raw materials containing galactose-based carbohydrates. This finding revealed the significance of sucrase in the direct hydrolysis of galactose-based carbohydrates in raw materials for the first time and facilitated the understanding of the efficient utilization of galactose-based carbohydrates to manufacture lipid or other chemicals in bioprocess.

Abstract
The black yeast-like fungus Aureobasidium melanogenum is an opportunistic human pathogen frequently found indoors. Its traits, potentially linked to pathogenesis, have never been systematically studied. Here, we examine 49 A. melanogenum strains for growth at 37 °C, siderophore production, hemolytic activity, and assimilation of hydrocarbons and human neurotransmitters and report within-species variability. All but one strain grew at 37 °C. All strains produced siderophores and showed some hemolytic activity. The largest differences between strains were observed in the assimilation of hydrocarbons and human neurotransmitters. We show for the first time that fungi from the order Dothideales can assimilate aromatic hydrocarbons. To explain the background, we sequenced the genomes of all 49 strains and identified genes putatively involved in siderophore production and hemolysis. Genomic analysis revealed a fairly structured population of A.melanogenum, raising the possibility that some phylogenetic lineages have higher virulence potential than others. Population genomics indicated that the species is strictly clonal, although more than half of the genomes were diploid. The existence of relatively heterozygous diploids in an otherwise clonal species is described for only the second time in fungi. The genomic and phenotypic data from this study should help to resolve the non-trivial taxonomy of the genus Aureobasidium and reduce the medical hazards of exploiting the biotechnological potential of other, non-pathogenic species of this genus.

Abstract
Aureobasidium melanogenum has been used as an animal feed additive for improving thehealth of pets, however, it has not yet been applied in honey bees. Here, a fungal strain CK-CsC isolated from bee bread pollen, was identified as A. melanogenum. Following characterizing CK-CsC fermentation broth, the 4-days fermentation broth (SYM medium or bee pollen) of the CK-CsC was used to feed newly emerged adult honey bees in cages under laboratory-controlled conditions for analysis of survival, gene expression of nutrient and antibacterial peptide, and gut microbiota of honey bees. It was found that the CK-CsC fermentation broth (SYM medium or bee pollen) is nontoxic to honey bees, and can regularly increase nutrient gene expression of honey bees. However, significant mortality of bees was observed after bees were fed on the supernatant liquid of the fermentation broth. Notably, this mortality can be lowered by the simultaneous consumption of bee pollen. The honey bees that were fed bee pollen exhibited more γ-Proteobacteria, Bacteriodetes, and Actinobacteria in their gut flora than did the honey bees fed only crude supernatant liquid extract. These findings indicate that A. melanogenum CK-CsC has high potential as a bee probiotic when it was fermented with bee pollen.

Abstract
The content of pullulan and melanin in 500 mutants of Aureobasidum pullulans obtained by ultraviolet mutagenesis were examined and statistically analyzed, and a strong positive correlation was found between them. The result was further confirmed by culturing wild type strain As3.3984 in different media. Then we constructed melanin-deletion mutant As-Δalb1 and pullulan-deletion mutant As-Δpul. As-Δalb1 was a melanin-free strain with the yield of pullulan decreased by 41.01%. The supplementation of melanin in the culture of As-Δalb1 increased the production of pullulan. As-Δpul synthesized neither pullulan nor melanin and recovered melanin synthesis by adding pullulan to the medium. The results suggested that high concentration- of pullulan induced morphological transformation and synthesis of melanin, and melanin promoted the synthesis of pullulan. The pullulan biosynthetic genes, upt, pgm, ugp, and pul, were down-regulated, while the negative regulatory gene of pullulan synthesis, creA, was up-regulated by melanin deficiency.

Abstract
Molasses is a major by-product of sugar industry and contains 40-60% (w/w) of sugars. The world's annual yield of molasses reaches 55 million tons. Traditionally, molasses is simply discharged or applied to feed production. Additionally, some low-cost and environmentally friendly bioprocesses have been established for microbial production of value-added bioproducts from molasses. Over the last decade and more, increasing numbers of biofuels, polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, organic acids, and enzymes have been produced from the molasses through microbial conversion that possess an array of important applications in the industries of food, energy, and pharmaceutical. For better application, it is necessary to comprehensively understand the research status of bioconversion of molasses that has not been elaborated in detail so far. In this review, these value-added bioproducts and enzymes obtained through bioconversion of molasses, their potential applications in food and other industries, as well as the future research focus were generalized and discussed.

Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 165:131-140.

Abstract
In our previous study, it was found that Aureobasidium melanogenum TN3-1 was a high pullulan producing and osmotic tolerant yeast-like fungal strain. In this study, the HOG1 signaling pathway controlling glycerol synthesis, glycerol, trehalose and vacuoles were found to be closely related to its pullulan biosynthesis and high osmotic tolerance. Therefore, deletion of the key genes for the HOG1 signaling pathway, glycerol and trehalose biosynthesis and vacuole formation made all the mutants reduce pullulan biosynthesis and increase sensitivity of the growth of the mutants to high glucose concentration. Especially, abolishment of both the VSP11 and VSP12 genes which controlled the fission/fusion balance of vacuoles could cause big reduction in pullulan production (less than 7.4 ± 0.4 g/L) by the double mutant ΔDV-5 and increased sensitivity to high concentration glucose, while expression of the VSP11 gene in the double mutant ΔDV-5 made the transformants EV-2 restore pullulan production and tolerance to high concentration glucose. But cell growth of them were the similar. The double mutant ΔDV-5 had much bigger vacuoles and less numbers of vacuoles than the transformant EV-2 and its wild type strain TN3-1 while it grew weakly on the plate with 40% (w/v) glucose while the transformant EV-2 and its wild type strain TN3-1 could grow normally on the plate even with 60% (w/v) glucose. The double mutant ΔDV-5 also had high level of pigment and its cells were swollen. This was the first time to give the evidence that glycerol, trehalose and vacuoles were closely related to pullulan biosynthesis and high osmotic tolerance by A. melanogenum.

Triton X-100 improves co-production of β-1,3-D-glucan and pullulan by Aureobasidium pullulans. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:10685-10696. [PMID: 33170326 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10992-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Revised: 10/21/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
The effects of several surfactants on the biosynthesis of β-1,3-D-glucan (β-glucan) and pullulan by Aureobasidium pullulans CCTCC M 2012259 were investigated, and Triton X-100 was found to decrease biomass formation but increase β-glucan and pullulan production. The addition of 5 g/L Triton X-100 to the fermentation medium and bioconversion broth significantly increased β-glucan production by 76.6% and 69.9%, respectively, when compared to the control without surfactant addition. To reveal the physiological mechanism underlying the effect of Triton X-100 on polysaccharides production, the cell morphology and viability, membrane permeability, key enzyme activities, and intracellular levels of UDPG, NADH, and ATP were determined. The results indicated that Triton X-100 increased the activities of key enzymes involved in β-glucan and pullulan biosynthesis, improved intracellular UDPG and energy supply, and accelerated the transportation rate of precursors across the cell membrane, all of which contributed to the enhanced production of β-glucan and pullulan. Moreover, a two-stage culture strategy with combined processes of batch fermentation and bioconversion was applied, and co-production of β-glucan and pullulan in the presence of 5 g/L Triton X-100 additions was further improved. The present study not only provides insights into the effect of surfactant on β-glucan and pullulan production but also presents a feasible approach for efficient production of analogue exopolysaccharides. KEY POINTS: • Triton X-100 increased β-glucan and pullulan production under either batch fermentation or bioconversion. • Triton X-100 increased the permeability of cell membrane and accelerated the transportation rate of precursors across cell membrane. • Activities of key enzymes involved in β-glucan and pullulan biosynthesis were increased in the presence of Triton X-100. • Intracellular UDPG levels and energy supply were improved by Triton X-100 addition.

Abstract
To enhance the growth performance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae under osmotic stress, mutant XCG001, which tolerates up to 1.5 M NaCl, was isolated through adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE). Comparisons of the transcriptome data of mutant XCG001 and the wild-type strain identified ELO2 as being associated with osmotic tolerance. In the ELO2 overexpression strain (XCG010), the contents of inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC; t18:0/26:0), mannosylinositol phosphorylceramide [MIPC; t18:0/22:0(2OH)], MIPC (d18:0/22:0), MIPC (d20:0/24:0), mannosyldiinositol phosphorylceramide [M(IP)2C; d20:0/26:0], M(IP)2C [t18:0/26:0(2OH)], and M(IP)2C [d20:0/26:0(2OH)] increased by 88.3 times, 167 times, 63.3 times, 23.9 times, 27.9 times, 114 times, and 208 times at 1.0 M NaCl, respectively, compared with the corresponding values of the control strain XCG002. As a result, the membrane integrity, cell growth, and cell survival rate of strain XCG010 increased by 24.4% ± 1.0%, 21.9% ± 1.5%, and 22.1% ± 1.1% at 1.0 M NaCl, respectively, compared with the corresponding values of the control strain XCG002 (wild-type strain with a control plasmid). These findings provided a novel strategy for engineering complex sphingolipids to enhance osmotic tolerance.IMPORTANCE This study demonstrated a novel strategy for the manipulation of membrane complex sphingolipids to enhance S. cerevisiae tolerance to osmotic stress. Elo2, a sphingolipid acyl chain elongase, was related to osmotic tolerance through transcriptome analysis of the wild-type strain and an osmosis-tolerant strain generated from ALE. Overexpression of ELO2 increased the content of complex sphingolipid with longer acyl chain; thus, membrane integrity and osmotic tolerance improved.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to look insights into taxonomy, evolution, and biotechnological potentials of a yeast-like fungal strain P6 isolated from a mangrove ecosystem.
Methods
The genome sequencing for the yeast-like fungal strain P6 was conducted on a Hiseq sequencing platform, and the genomic characteristics and annotations were analyzed. The central metabolism and gluconate biosynthesis pathway were studied through the genome sequence data by using the GO, KOG, and KEGG databases. The secondary metabolite potentials were also evaluated.
Results
The whole genome size of the P6 strain was 25.41Mb and the G + C content of its genome was 50.69%. Totally, 6098 protein-coding genes and 264 non-coding RNA genes were predicted. The annotation results showed that the yeast-like fungal strain P6 had complete metabolic pathways of TCA cycle, EMP pathway, pentose phosphate pathway, glyoxylic acid cycle, and other central metabolic pathways. Furthermore, the inulinase activity associated with β-fructofuranosidase and high glucose oxidase activity in this strain have been demonstrated. It was found that this yeast-like fungal strain was located at root of most species of Aureobasidium spp. and at a separate cluster of all the phylogenetic trees. The P6 strain was predicted to contain three NRPS gene clusters, five type-I PKS gene clusters, and one type-I NRPS/PKS gene cluster via analysis at the antiSMASH Website. It may synthesize epichloenin A, fusaric acid, elsinochromes, and fusaridione A.
Conclusions
Based on its unique DNA sequence, taxonomic position in the phylogenetic tree and evolutional position, the yeast-like fungal strain P6 was identified as a novel species Aureobasidium hainanensis sp. nov. P6 isolate and had highly potential applications.
