Abstract
To address the volatile markers and their biotransformation during the early stage of Zygosaccharomyces spp. contamination in acacia honey, headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and chemometric analyses were used to explore the variation of volatile compounds. A total of 36 and 35 volatile compounds were identified before and after contamination of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Zygosaccharomyces mellis, respectively. Methyl butyrate and 2-methyl-3-pentanone could be used as volatile markers of Z. rouxii and Z. mellis-contaminated honey, which were both specific products of the yeast's own fermentation. 2,5-Dimethylbenzaldehyde was identified as a volatile marker of Z. rouxii and Z. mellis-contaminated acacia honey, and it was a specific product resulting from the interaction of yeast and acacia honey. In addition, β-damascenone could be determined as a potential volatile marker after Z. rouxii-contaminated acacia honey. Methyl 2-methylbutyrate was used as a potential volatile marker in the high-concentration groups of Z. rouxii and Z. mellis. The content ranges of methyl butyrate, 2-methyl-3-pentanone, and 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde in four samples were 6.62-14.59, 3.15-5.42, and 52.52-215.19 μg/mL, respectively. The variation of volatile markers during the early stage of osmotolerant yeast contamination provided a theoretical basis for the use of HS-SPME-GC-MS for the rapid detection of acacia honey deterioration while reducing economic losses.

[PMID: 37919004 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104395] [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: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023]
Abstract
The osmophilic yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii has attracted increasing attention for its ability to survive and grow in extremely high sugar environments. This trait determines its role in fermentation process and results in contamination in the food industry. However, the behavior of Z. rouxii in regulating cell metabolism to combat high sugar stress and the corresponding mechanism have not been completely elucidated. Here, the resistance strategies of Z. rouxii against high glucose stress were explored by physiological analysis at cell membrane level and transcriptomic analysis. Physiological analysis showed that under high glucose stress, colony transparency increased, cell volume decreased, which was accompanied by reduction in permeability and integrity of cell membrane and subsequent gradual recovering. Additionally, the proportion of ergosterol and unsaturated fatty acids in cell membrane significantly increased under high glucose stress. A comparison of transcriptome data showed that most of the obtained differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in ergosterol and linoleic acid synthesis pathways as well as cell wall integrity (CWI) and high osmolarity glycerol mitogen-activated protein kinase (HOG-MAPK) pathways, which was in line with the results of physiological data. Our results provided a theoretic basis to develop the process control for the production of high sugar foods.

Abstract
With the rapid development of systems biology technology, there is a deeper understanding of the molecular biological mechanisms and physiological characteristics of microorganisms. Yeasts are widely used in the food industry with their excellent fermentation performances. While due to the complex environments of food production, yeasts have to suffer from various stress factors. Thus, elucidating the stress mechanisms of food yeasts and proposing potential strategies to improve tolerance have been widely concerned. This review summarized the recent signs of progress in the variety, functions, and stress tolerance of food yeasts. Firstly, the main food yeasts occurred in fermented foods, and the taxonomy levels are demonstrated. Then, the main functions of yeasts including aroma enhancer, safety performance enhancer, and fermentation period reducer are discussed. Finally, the stress response mechanisms of yeasts and the strategies to improve the stress tolerance of cells are reviewed. Based on sorting out these related recent researches systematically, we hope that this review can provide help and approaches to further exert the functions of food yeasts and improve food production efficiency.

Ribeiro RA, Bourbon-Melo N, Sá-Correia I. The cell wall and the response and tolerance to stresses of biotechnological relevance in yeasts. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:953479.

Abstract
In industrial settings and processes, yeasts may face multiple adverse environmental conditions. These include exposure to non-optimal temperatures or pH, osmotic stress, and deleterious concentrations of diverse inhibitory compounds. These toxic chemicals may result from the desired accumulation of added-value bio-products, yeast metabolism, or be present or derive from the pre-treatment of feedstocks, as in lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates. Adaptation and tolerance to industrially relevant stress factors involve highly complex and coordinated molecular mechanisms occurring in the yeast cell with repercussions on the performance and economy of bioprocesses, or on the microbiological stability and conservation of foods, beverages, and other goods. To sense, survive, and adapt to different stresses, yeasts rely on a network of signaling pathways to modulate the global transcriptional response and elicit coordinated changes in the cell. These pathways cooperate and tightly regulate the composition, organization and biophysical properties of the cell wall. The intricacy of the underlying regulatory networks reflects the major role of the cell wall as the first line of defense against a wide range of environmental stresses. However, the involvement of cell wall in the adaptation and tolerance of yeasts to multiple stresses of biotechnological relevance has not received the deserved attention. This article provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms involved in fine-tuning cell wall physicochemical properties during the stress response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and their implication in stress tolerance. The available information for non-conventional yeast species is also included. These non-Saccharomyces species have recently been on the focus of very active research to better explore or control their biotechnological potential envisaging the transition to a sustainable circular bioeconomy.

Abstract
Aronia melanocarpa anthocyanins (AMAs), as natural plant extracts, can control pathogens and are attracting increasing attention. In this study, a tandem mass tag (TMT) quantitative proteomics method combined with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used to explore the antibacterial mechanism of AMAs against Escherichia coli at the protein level. The results showed that 1739 proteins were identified in E. coli treated with AMAs, of which 628 were altered, including 262 downregulated proteins and 366 upregulated proteins. Bioinformatics analysis showed that these differentially expressed proteins have different molecular functions and participate in different molecular pathways. AMAs can affect E. coli protein biosynthesis, DNA replication and repair, oxidative stress response, peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and homeostasis. These pathways induce morphological changes and cell death. The results of this study help understand the molecular mechanism of the inhibitory effect of AMAs on food-borne pathogens and provide a reference for further development of plant-derived antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
The high-osmotic-pressure environment of honey is not suitable for the survival of microorganisms, except for osmotic-tolerant fungal and bacterial spores. In this study, shotgun metagenomic sequencing technology was used to identify yeast species present in honey samples. As a result, Zygosaccharomyces spp. yeast, including Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Z. mellis and Z. siamensis, were isolated. The intracellular trehalose and glycerin concentrations of yeast, as well as the antioxidant-related CAT, SOD and POD enzyme activities, increased under a high-glucose environment (60%, w/v). To learn more about the osmotic resistance of Z. mellis, iTRAQ-based proteomic technology was used to investigate the related molecular mechanism at the protein level, yielding 522 differentially expressed proteins, of which 303 (58.05%) were upregulated and 219 (41.95%) were downregulated. The iTRAQ data showed that the proteins involved in the pathway of the cell membrane and cell-wall synthesis, as well as those related to trehalose and glycerin degradation, were all downregulated, while the proteins in the respiratory chain and TCA cycle were upregulated. In addition, formate dehydrogenase 1 (FDH1), which is involved in NADH generation, displayed a great difference in response to a high-sugar environment. Furthermore, the engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains BY4741△scFDH1 with a knocked-out FDH1 gene were constructed using the CRISPR/Cas9 method. In addition, the FDH1 from Z. mellis was expressed in BY4741△scFDH1 to construct the mutant strain BY4717zmFDH1. The CAT, SOD and POD enzyme activities, as well as the content of trehalose, glycerin, ATP and NADH, were decreased in BY4741△scFDH1. However, those were all increased in BY4717zmFDH1. This study revealed that Z. mellis could increase the contents of trehalose and glycerin and promote energy metabolism to improve hypertonic tolerance. In addition, FDH1 had a significant effect on yeast hypertonic tolerance.

Abstract
(1) Background: Blue light is important for the formation of maize stomata, but the signal network remains unclear. (2) Methods: We replaced red light with blue light in an experiment and provided a complementary regulatory network for the stomatal development of maize by using transcriptome and metabolomics analysis. (3) Results: Exposure to blue light led to 1296 differentially expressed genes and 419 differential metabolites. Transcriptome comparisons and correlation signaling network analysis detected 55 genes, and identified 6 genes that work in the regulation of the HY5 module and MAPK cascade, that interact with PTI1, COI1, MPK2, and MPK3, in response to the substitution of blue light in environmental adaptation and signaling transduction pathways. Metabolomics analysis showed that two genes involved in carotenoid biosynthesis and starch and sucrose metabolism participate in stomatal development. Their signaling sites located on the PHI1 and MPK2 sites of the MAPK cascade respond to blue light signaling. (4) Conclusions: Blue light remarkably changed the transcriptional signal transduction and metabolism of metabolites, and eight obtained genes worked in the HY5 module and MAPK cascade.
