Abstract
Microscopic, photosynthetic prokaryotes and eukaryotes, collectively referred to as microalgae, are widely studied to improve our understanding of key metabolic pathways (e.g., photosynthesis) and for the development of biotechnological applications. Omics technologies, which are now common tools in biological research, have been shown to be critical in microalgal research. In the past decade, significant technological advancements have allowed omics technologies to become more affordable and efficient, with huge datasets being generated. In particular, where studies focused on a single or few proteins decades ago, it is now possible to study the whole proteome of a microalgae. The development of mass spectrometry-based methods has provided this leap forward with the high-throughput identification and quantification of proteins. This review specifically provides an overview of the use of proteomics in fundamental (e.g., photosynthesis) and applied (e.g., lipid production for biofuel) microalgal research, and presents future research directions in this field.

Abstract
Direct discharge of mariculture wastewater can lead to eutrophication, posing a threat to aquatic ecosystems. A novel Bacteria-Algae Coupled Reactor (BACR) offers advantages in treating mariculture wastewater, which can effectively remove pollutants while simultaneously obtaining microalgal products. However, there is limited information available on how illumination affects the cultivation of mixotrophic microalgae in this bacteria-algae coupling system. Therefore, a combined strategy of photoperiod and light intensity regulation was employed to improve the biological mariculture wastewater remediation, promote microalgae biomass accumulation, and increase the high-value product yield in this study. Optimal light conditions could effectively enhance microalgal carbohydrate, protein, lipid accumulation and photosynthetic activity, with the carbohydrate, protein and lipid contents reached 44.11, 428.57 and 399.68 mg/L, respectively. Moreover, excellent removal rates were achieved for SCOD, NH4+-N and TP, reaching 86.68%, 87.35% and 95.13% respectively. This study proposes a comprehension of BACR processes in mariculture wastewater under different light conditions.

Abstract
Microalgae can convert carbon dioxide into organic matter through photosynthesis. Thus, they are considered as an environment-friendly and efficient cell chassis for biologically active metabolites. Microalgal lipids are a class of organic compounds that can be used as raw materials for food, feed, cosmetics, healthcare products, bioenergy, etc., with tremendous potential for commercialization. In this review, we summarized the commercial lipid products from eukaryotic microalgae, and updated the mechanisms of lipid synthesis in microalgae. Moreover, we reviewed the enhancement of lipids, triglycerides, polyunsaturated fatty acids, pigments, and terpenes in microalgae via environmental induction and/or metabolic engineering in the past five years. Collectively, we provided a comprehensive overview of the products, biosynthesis, induced strategies and genetic engineering in microalgal lipids. Meanwhile, the outlook has been presented for the development of microalgal lipids industries, emphasizing the significance of the accurate analysis of lipid bioactivity, as well as the high-throughput screening of microalgae with specific lipids.

Acclimation strategies of the green alga Chlorella vulgaris to different light regimes revealed by physiological and comparative proteomic analyses. JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY 2023; 74:4540-4558.

Abstract
Acclimation to different light regimes is at the basis of survival for photosynthetic organisms, regardless of their evolutionary origin. Previous research efforts largely focused on acclimation events occurring at the level of the photosynthetic apparatus and often highlighted species-specific mechanisms. Here, we investigated the consequences of acclimation to different irradiances in Chlorella vulgaris, a green alga that is one of the most promising species for industrial application, focusing on both photosynthetic and mitochondrial activities. Moreover, proteomic analysis of cells acclimated to high light (HL) or low light (LL) allowed identification of the main targets of acclimation in terms of differentially expressed proteins. The results obtained demonstrate photosynthetic adaptation to HL versus LL that was only partially consistent with previous findings in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a model organism for green algae, but in many cases similar to vascular plant acclimation events. Increased mitochondrial respiration measured in HL-acclimated cells mainly relied on alternative oxidative pathway dissipating the excessive reducing power produced due to enhanced carbon flow. Finally, proteins involved in cell metabolism, intracellular transport, gene expression, and signaling-including a heliorhodopsin homolog-were identified as strongly differentially expressed in HL versus LL, suggesting their key roles in acclimation to different light regimes.

The antioxidant, wound healing properties and proteomic analysis of water extracts from the tropical cyanobacteria, Nostoc NIES-2111_MUM004. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:71.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria bioactive compounds are chemical treasure troves for product discovery and development. The wound healing effects and antioxidant capacities of water extracts from Nostoc NIES-2111_MUM004 were evaluated via in vitro wound scratch assay and three antioxidant assays respectively. Results showed that the water extracts were protein-rich and exhibited good antioxidant properties in ABTS radical scavenging (11.27 ± 0.205 mg TAE g-1 extract), Ferric reducing antioxidant power (1652.71 ± 110.71 mg TAE g-1 extract) and β-carotene bleaching assay (354.90 ± 31.80 mg TAE g-1 extract). Also, extracts were non-cytotoxic in concentrations up to 250 µg/mL as reflected in cytotoxicity assay. Importantly, water extracts showed considerable proliferation and migration activity at 125 µg/mL with wound closure rate as high as 42.67%. Statistical correlation revealed no significant relationship (p > 0.05) between protein fraction and the wound healing properties, confirming that phycobiliproteins were not solely responsible for wound healing activities. Subsequent Q-TOF-LCMS analysis identified six protein families involved in enhancing the proliferation and migration of epithelial cells. These findings are antecedent in the uncovering of continuous supplies of bioactive compounds from new and sustainable sources. Ultimately, enriching the microalgae menu for applications in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmeceuticals.

Abstract
Purple bacteria (PPB), anoxygenic photoorganoheterotrophic organisms with a hyper-versatile metabolism and high biomass yields over substrate, are promising candidates for the recovery of nutrient resources from wastewater. Infrared light is a pivotal parameter to control and design PPB-based resource recovery. However, the effects of light intensities on the physiology and selection of PPB in mixed cultures have not been studied to date. Here, we examined the effect of infrared irradiance on PPB physiology, enrichment, and growth over a large range of irradiance (0 to 350 W m−2) in an anaerobic mixed-culture sequencing batch photobioreactor. We developed an empirical mathematical model that suggests higher PPB growth rates as response to higher irradiance. Moreover, PPB adapted to light intensity by modulating the abundances of their phototrophic complexes. The obtained results provide an in-depth phylogenetic and metabolic insight the impact of irradiance on PPB. Our findings deliver the fundamental information for guiding the design of light-driven, anaerobic mixed-culture PPB processes for wastewater treatment and bioproduct valorization.

The Role of Alternative Electron Pathways for Effectiveness of Photosynthetic Performance of Arabidopsis thaliana, Wt and Lut2, under Low Temperature and High Light Intensity. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11172318. [PMID: 36079699 PMCID: PMC9460638 DOI: 10.3390/plants11172318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
A recent investigation has suggested that the enhanced capacity for PSI-dependent cyclic electron flow (CEF) and PSI-dependent energy quenching that is related to chloroplast structural changes may explain the lower susceptibility of lut2 to combined stresses—a low temperature and a high light intensity. The possible involvement of alternative electron transport pathways, proton gradient regulator 5 (PGR5)-dependent CEF and plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX)-mediated electron transfer to oxygen in the response of Arabidopsis plants—wild type (wt) and lut2—to treatment with these two stressors was assessed by using specific electron transport inhibitors. Re-reduction kinetics of P700+ indicated that the capacity for CEF was higher in lut2 when this was compared to wt. Exposure of wt plants to the stress conditions caused increased CEF and was accompanied by a substantial raise in PGR5 and PTOX quantities. In contrast, both PGR5 and PTOX levels decreased under the same stress conditions in lut2, and inhibiting PGR5-dependent pathway by AntA did not exhibit any significant effects on CEF during the stress treatment and recovery period. Electron microscopy observations demonstrated that under control conditions the degree of grana stacking was much lower in lut2, and it almost disappeared under the combined stresses, compared to wt. The role of differential responses of alternative electron transport pathways in the acclimation to the stress conditions that are studied is discussed.

Abstract
Simple Summary Epididymal spermatozoa have great potential in current dog reproductive technologies. In the case of azoospermia or when the male dies, the recovery of epididymal spermatozoa opens new possibilities for reproduction. It is of great importance to analyze the quality of the sperm in such cases. Proteomic studies contribute to explaining the role of proteins at various stages of epididymal sperm maturation and offer potential opportunities to use them as markers of sperm quality. The present study showed, for the first time, mass spectrometry and bioinformatic analysis of intracellular and membrane-associated proteins of canine epididymal spermatozoa. Additionally, sonication was used for the separation of dog epididymal sperm morphological elements (heads, tails and acrosomes). The results revealed the presence of differentially abundant proteins in both sperm protein fractions significant for sperm function and fertilizing ability. It was also shown that these proteins participate in important sperm metabolic pathways, which may suggest their potential as sperm quality biomarkers. Abstract This study was provided for proteomic analysis of intracellular and membrane-associated fractions of canine (Canis lupus familiaris) epididymal spermatozoa and additionally to find optimal sonication parameters for the epididymal sperm morphological structure separation and sperm protein isolation. Sperm samples were collected from 15 dogs. Sperm protein fractions: intracellular (SIPs) and membrane-associated (SMAPs) were isolated. After sonication, sperm morphology was evaluated using Spermac Stain™. The sperm protein fractions were analyzed using gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and nanoliquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (NanoLC-Q-TOF/MS). UniProt database-supported identification resulted in 42 proteins identified in the SIPs and 153 proteins in the SMAPs. Differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were found in SIPs and SMAPs. Based on a gene ontology analysis, the dominant molecular functions of SIPs were catalytic activity (50%) and binding (28%). Hydrolase activity (33%) and transferase activity (21%) functions were dominant for SMAPs. Bioinformatic analysis of SIPs and SMAPs showed their participation in important metabolic pathways in epididymal sperm, which may suggest their potential as sperm quality biomarkers. The use of sonication 150 W, 10 min, may be recommended for the separation of dog epididymal sperm heads, tails, acrosomes and the protein isolation.

Increased carvone production in Escherichia coli by balancing limonene conversion enzyme expression via targeted quantification concatamer proteome analysis. Sci Rep 2021; 11:22126.

Abstract
(−)-Carvone is a monoterpenoid with a spearmint flavor. A sustainable biotechnological production process for (−)-carvone is desirable. Although all enzymes in (−)-carvone biosynthesis have been functionally expressed in Escherichia coli independently, the yield was low in previous studies. When cytochrome P450 limonene-6-hydroxylase (P450)/cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and carveol dehydrogenase (CDH) were expressed in a single strain, by-product formation (dihydrocarveol and dihydrocarvone) was detected. We hypothesized that P450 and CDH expression levels differ in E. coli. Thus, two strains independently expressing P450/CPR and CDH were mixed with different ratios, confirming increased carvone production and decreased by-product formation when CDH input was reduced. The optimum ratio of enzyme expression to maximize (−)-carvone production was determined using the proteome analysis quantification concatamer (QconCAT) method. Thereafter, a single strain expressing both P450/CPR and CDH was constructed to imitate the optimum expression ratio. The upgraded strain showed a 15-fold improvement compared to the initial strain, showing a 44 ± 6.3 mg/L (−)-carvone production from 100 mg/L (−)-limonene. Our study showed the usefulness of the QconCAT proteome analysis method for strain development in the industrial biotechnology field.

Abstract
Conventional fuel resources are overburden with speedy global energy demand which ensued the urgent need of alternate energy resources. Biofuel generation efficiency of microalgae is notable due to their comparatively rapid biomass production rate and high oil content. But, the employment of microalgae as biofuel resource is in infancy due to low productivity and high production cost. The issues can be addressed by employing engineered microalgal strains that would be able to efficiently generate enhanced levels of biomass with augmented lipid and/or carbohydrate content for proficient biofuel production. Genetic alterations and metabolic engineering of microalgal species might be helpful in developing high stress-tolerant strains with improved properties for biofuel generation. Various omics approaches appeared significant to upgrade the microalgal lipid production. Intervention of genetic and metabolic engineering approaches would facilitate the development of microalgae as a competent biofuel resource and inflate the economic commercialization of biofuels.

J Proteomics 2021; 246:104306. [PMID: 34157441 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2021.104306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Revised: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
In cyanobacteria, it is known that the excitation ratios of photosystem (PS) I and PSII changes with the wavelength of irradiated light due to mobile phycobilisome (PBS) and spillover, affecting the photosynthetic ATP/NADPH synthesis ratio and metabolic flux state. However, the mechanisms by which these changes are controlled have not been well studied. In this study, we performed a targeted proteomic analysis of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under different spectral light conditions to clarify the regulation mechanisms of mobile PBS, spillover and metabolisms under different light qualities at the protein level. The results showed an increase in the amount of proteins mainly involved in CO2 fixation under Red1 light conditions with a high specific growth rate, suggesting that the rate of intracellular metabolism is controlled by the rate of carbon uptake, not by changes in the amount of each enzyme. Correlation analysis between protein levels and PSI/PSII excitation ratios revealed that PsbQUY showed high correlations and significantly increased under Blue and Red2 light conditions, where the PSI/PSII excitation ratio was higher due to spillover. In the strains lacking the genes encoding these proteins, a decrease in the PSI/PSII excitation ratio was observed, suggesting that PsbQUY contribute to spillover occurrence. SIGNIFICANCE: In cyanobacteria, the photosynthetic apparatus's responses, such as state transition [mobile PBS and spillover], occur due to the intensity and wavelength of irradiated light, resulting in changes in photosynthetic electron transport and metabolic flux states. Previous studies have analyzed the response of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 to light intensity from various directions, but only spectroscopic analysis of the photosynthetic apparatus has been done on the response to changes in the wavelength of irradiated light. This study analyzed the response mechanisms of mobile PBS, spillover, photosynthetic, and metabolic systems in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under six different spectral light conditions by a targeted proteomic analysis. As a result, many proteins were successfully quantified, and the metabolic enzymes and photosynthetic apparatus were analyzed using an integrated approach. Principal component and correlation analyses and volcano plots revealed that the PSII subunits PsbQ, PsbU, and PsbY have a strong correlation with the PSI/PSII excitation ratio and contribute to spillover occurrence. Thus, statistical analysis based on proteome data revealed that PsbQ, PsbU, and PsbY are involved in spillover, as revealed by spectroscopic analysis.

Abstract
The cyclic electron flow (CEF) around photosystem I (PSI) plays a crucial role in photosynthesis and also functions in plant tolerance of abiotic environmental stress. However, the role of PGR5/PGRL1- and NDH-dependent CEF in tomato under hightemperature (HT) is poorly understood. Here, we assessed the photoprotective effect of these pathways in tomato leaves under HT by using antimycin A (AA) and rotenone (R), which are chemical inhibitors of PGR5/PGRL1- and NDH-dependent CEF, respectively. The results showed that AA treatment caused significantly greater inhibition of CEF under HT compared to R treatment. Moreover, AA treatment caused a greater decrease in maximal photochemistry efficiency (Fv/Fm) and increased damage to the donor and acceptor side of photosystem II (PSII); however, the limitation of the acceptor side in PSI [Y(NA)] was significantly increased. In addition, thylakoid membrane integrity was compromised and reactive oxygen species, proton gradient (ΔpH), antioxidant enzyme activity, and the expression of photosystem core subunit genes were significantly decreased under AA treatment. These findings indicate that PGR5/PGRL1-dependent CEF protects PSII and PSI from photooxidative damage through the formation of ΔpH while maintaining thylakoid membrane integrity and normal gene expression levels of core photosystem components. This study demonstrates that PGR5/PGRL1-dependent CEF plays a major role in HT response in tomato.
