Abstract
Postharvest fungal diseases cause serious fruit losses and food safety issues worldwide. The trend in preventing food loss and waste has shifted to environmentally friendly and sustainable methods, such as biological control. Penicillium expansum is a common postharvest contaminant fungus that causes blue mould disease and patulin formation on apples. This study aimed to provide biocontrol using Metschnikowia pulcherrima isolates against P. expansum, and to understand their antagonistic action mechanisms. In vitro, 38.77-51.69% of mycelial growth inhibition of P. expansum was achieved by M. pulcherrima isolates with the dual culture assay, while this rate was 69.45-84.89% in the disc diffusion assay. The disease symptoms of P. expansum on wounds were reduced by M. pulcherrima, on Amasya apples. The lesion diameter, 41.84 mm after 12 d of incubation in control, was measured as 24.14 mm when treated with the most effective M. pulcherrima DN-MP in vivo. Although the antagonistic mechanisms of M. pulcherrima isolates were similar, there was a difference between their activities. In general, DN-HS and DN-MP isolates were found to be more effective. In light of all these results, it can be said that M. pulcherrima isolates used in the study have an antagonistic effect against the growth of P. expansum both in vitro and in vivo in Amasya apples, therefore, when the appropriate formulation is provided, they can be used as an alternative biocontrol agent to chemical fungicides in the prevention of postharvest diseases.

Secondary metabolites and transcriptomic analysis of novel pulcherrimin producer Metschnikowia persimmonesis KIOM G15050: A potent and safe food biocontrol agent. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28464. [PMID: 38571591 PMCID: PMC10988027 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Metschnikowia persimmonesis, a novel endophytic yeast strain isolated from Diospyros kaki calyx, possesses strong antimicrobial activity. We investigated its potential use as an environmentally safe food biocontrol agent through genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. Secondary metabolites were isolated from M. persimmonesis, followed by chemical structure elucidation, PUL gene cluster identification, and RNA sequencing. Pulcherrimin was isolated using 2 M NaOH, its structure was confirmed, and the yield was quantified. Biocontrol efficacy of M. persimmonesis on persimmon fruits and calyx was evaluated by assessing lesion diameter and disease incidence. Following compounds were isolated from M. persimmonesis co-culture with Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum: fusaric acid, benzoic acid, benzeneacetic acid, 4-hydroxybenzeneacetic acid, 4-(-2-hydoxyethyl)-benzoic acid, cyclo (Leu-Leu), benzenemethanol, 4-hydroxy-benzaldehide, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-benzoic acid, lumichrome, heptadecanoic acid, and nonadecanoic acid. Exposing M. persimmonesis to different growth media conditions (with or without sugar) resulted in the isolation of five compounds: Tyrosol, Cyclo (Pro-Val), cyclo(L-Pro-L-Tyr), cyclo(Leu-Leu), and cyclo(l-tyrosilylicine). Differentially expressed gene analysis revealed 3264 genes that were significantly expressed (fold change ≥2 and p-value ≤0.05) during M. persimmonesis growth in different media, of which only 270 (8.27%) showed altered expression in all sample combinations with Luria-Bertani Agar as control. Minimal media with ferric ions and tween-80 triggered the most gene expression changes, with the highest levels of PUL gene expression and pulcherrimin yield (262.166 mg/L) among all media treatments. M. persimmonesis also produced a higher amount of pulcherrimin (209.733 mg/L) than Metschnikowia pulcherrima (152.8 mg/L). M. persimmonesis inhibited the growth of Fusarium oxysporum in persimmon fruit and calyx. Toxicity evaluation of M. persimmonesis extracts showed no harmful effects on the liver and mitochondria of zebrafish, and no potential risk of cardiotoxicity in hERG-HEK293 cell lines. Thus, M. persimmonesis can be commercialized as a potent and safe biocontrol agent for preserving food products.

Competition for Nitrogen Resources: An Explanation of the Effects of a Bioprotective Strain Metschnikowia pulcherrima on the Growth of Hanseniaspora Genus in Oenology. Foods 2024; 13:724.

Abstract
As a biological alternative to the antimicrobial action of SO2, bioprotection has been proposed to winemakers as a means to limit or prevent grape musts microbial alteration. Competition for nitrogenous nutrients and for oxygen are often cited as potential explanations for the effectiveness of bioprotection. This study analyses the effect of a bioprotective M. pulcherrima strain on the growth of one H. valbyensis strain and one H. uvarum strain. Bioprotection efficiency was observed only against H. valbyensis inoculated at the two lowest concentrations. These results indicate a potential species-dependent efficiency of the bioprotective strain and a strong impact of the initial ratio between bioprotective and apiculate yeasts. The analysis of the consumption of nitrogen compounds revealed that leucine, isoleucine, lysine and tryptophan were consumed preferentially by all three strains. The weaker assimilation percentages of these amino acids observed in H. valbyensis at 24 h growth suggest competition with M. pulcherrima that could negatively affects the growth of the apiculate yeast in co-cultures. The slowest rate of O2 consumption of H. valbyensis strain, in comparison with M. pulcherrima, was probably not involved in the bioprotective effect. Non-targeted metabolomic analyses of M. pulcherrima and H. valbyensis co-culture indicate that the interaction between both strains particularly impact lysin and tryptophan metabolisms.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 197:105657. [PMID: 38072532 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105657] [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: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
The biocontrol effectiveness of Metschnikowia citriensis relies on its production of pulcherriminic acid (PA), which forms insoluble and stable pulcherrimin pigments by chelating iron ions, this inhibits pathogen growth by preventing their utilization of chelated Fe3+. In this study, ΔM. citriensis, which did not produce PA, was used as a control to examine changes in its biocontrol effectiveness by adding tryptophan to the medium. Tryptophan was shown to have no discernible impact on the growth and PA production of ΔM. citriensis; moreover, the PA synthesis-related genes PULs, Snf2, and leucyl-tRNA synthesis-related genes A3136 and A3022 were all down-regulated in ΔM. citriensis. The PA-free ΔM. citriensis eventually showed a much poorer inhibition zone against the pathogens in vitro, and a noticeably decreased control efficiency against postharvest diseases in citrus fruit. Tryptophan was added to the medium, which had no appreciable impact on inhibitory zone of ΔM. citriensis against pathogens in vitro, but enhanced its ability to control citrus postharvest diseases. Additionally, the control effects of culture broth of M. citriensis and ΔM. citriensis on postharvest diseases in citrus fruit were assessed. It was found that both culture broth of M. citriensis and ΔM. citriensis exhibited remarkable control effects against citrus postharvest diseases, with culture broth of M. citriensis which containing PA being more effective in controlling the disease. Last but not least, we extracted and dissolved pulcherrimin to obtain PA extracts, which were then injected to citrus fruits to assess the biocontrol effectiveness. The findings demonstrated that postharvest diseases of citrus fruit can be effectively controlled by PA extracts. This research suggested a new biological strategy for the management of citrus postharvest diseases.

Strains for Controlling Postharvest Fungal Decays on Citrus Fruit. Foods 2023; 12:4249. [PMID: 38231683 DOI: 10.3390/foods12234249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
This study identified and tested fruit-isolated Metschnikowia yeasts against three major postharvest citrus pathogens, namely, Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium italicum, and Geotrichum citri-aurantii, and further evaluated the impact of FeCl3 on the biocontrol efficiency of pulcherrimin-producing M. pulcherrima strains. Based on the characterization of the pigmented halo surrounding the colonies and the analysis of the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA, a total of 46 Metschnikowia sp. were screened and identified. All 46 Metschnikowia strains significantly inhibited the hyphal growth of Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium italicum, and Geotrichum citri-aurantii, and effectively controlled the development of green mold, blue mold and sour rot of citrus fruit. The introduction of exogenous FeCl3 at certain concentrations did not significantly impact the pulcherriminic acid (PA) production of pigmented M. pulcherrima strains, but notably diminished the size of pigmented zones and the biocontrol efficacy against the three pathogens. Iron deficiency sensitivity experiments revealed that P. digitatum and P. italicum exhibited higher sensitivity compared to G. citri-aurantii, indicating that iron dependence varied among the three pathogens. These results suggested that M. pulcherrima strains, capable of producing high yields of PA, possessed great potential for use as biocontrol agents against postharvest citrus diseases. The biocontrol efficacy of these yeasts is mainly attributed to their ability to competitively deplete iron ions in a shared environment, with the magnitude of their pigmented halo directly correlating to their antagonistic capability. It is worth noting that the level of sensitivity of pathogens to iron deficiency might also affect the biocontrol effect of pulcherrimin-producing M. pulcherrima.

Abstract
Finding alternatives to the use of chemical inputs to preserve the sanitary and organoleptic quality of food and beverages is essential to meet public health requirements and consumer preferences. In oenology, numerous manufacturers already offer a diverse range of bio-protection yeasts to protect must against microbiological alterations and therefore limit or eliminate sulphites during winemaking. Bio-protection involves selecting non-Saccharomyces yeasts belonging to different genera and species to induce negative interactions with indigenous microorganisms, thereby limiting their development and their impact on the matrix. Although the effectiveness of bio-protection in the winemaking industry has been reported in numerous journals, the underlying mechanisms are not yet well understood. The aim of this review is to examine the current state of the art of field trials and laboratory studies that demonstrate the effects of using yeasts for bio-protection, as well as the interaction mechanisms that may be responsible for these effects. It focuses on the yeast Metschnikowia pulcherrima, particularly recommended for the bio-protection of grape musts.

Zhang H, Wang S, Yi L, Zeng K. Tryptophan enhances biocontrol efficacy of Metschnikowia citriensis FL01 against postharvest fungal diseases of citrus fruit by increasing pulcherriminic acid production. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 386:110013. [PMID: 36436410 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2022.110013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the capability and mechanism of enhancing the yield of pulcherriminic acid (PA) produced by Metschnikowia citriensis FL01 with the help of tryptophan for the control of postharvest diseases on citrus caused by Penicillium italicum, Geotrichum citri-aurantii and Penicillium digitatum. The adding of 10 mmol/L tryptophan to the growth medium resulted in the widest pulcherrimin pigment zone produced by M. citriensis FL01. The adding of tryptophan to the growth medium upregulated A3136 and A3022 gene expression (responsible for leucyl-tRNA biosynthesis from leucine), downregulated A1350 gene expression (responsible for the biosynthesis of leucine to branched-chain fatty acids), and decreased the content of intracellular leucine in M. citriensis FL01, speculating that the addition of tryptophan in the growth medium induced leucine conversion toward leucyl-tRNA in M. citriensis FL01. Moreover, the adding of tryptophan to the growth medium upregulated PULs (responsible PA biosynthesis) and Snf2 (transcriptional regulator) gene expression and promoted intracellular, extracellular or total PA production by M. citriensis FL01 in liquid medium. In addition, the addition of tryptophan in the growth medium showed no effect on the growth of M. citriensis FL01 itself in liquid medium, while the population dynamics in citrus fruit wounds of M. citriensis FL01 with the addition of tryptophan in the growth medium were increased compared with those of M. citriensis FL01. What's more, M. citriensis FL01 with the addition of tryptophan in the growth medium completely inhibited the growth of pathogens in vitro. The disease incidences and lesion diameters of blue mold, sour rot and green mold on citrus fruit were lower in group which treated with M. citriensis FL01 containing tryptophan in the growth medium than that treated with M. citriensis FL01 alone. Overall, the postharvest biocontrol of citrus with M. citriensis FL01 containing 10 mmol/L tryptophan in the growth medium is a promising approach to protect these fruits from blue mold, sour rot and green mold.

Abstract
Pulcherrimin is a secondary metabolite of yeasts belonging to the Metschnikowia pulcherrima clade, and pulcherrimin formation is responsible for the antimicrobial action of its producers. Understanding the environmental function of this metabolite can provide insight into various microbial interactions and enables the efficient development of new effective bioproducts and methods. In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial and antiadhesive action of yeast pulcherrimin, as well as its protective properties under selected stressful conditions. Classical microbiological plate methods, microscopy, and physico-chemical testing were used. The results show that pure pulcherrimin does not have antimicrobial properties, but its unique hydrophilic nature may hinder the adhesion of hydrophilic bacterial cells to abiotic surfaces. Pulcherrimin also proved to be a good cell protectant against UV–C radiation at both high and low temperatures.
