Abstract
Heat stress is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the growth, sporulation, colonization and survival of Trichoderma viride. This study aimed to gain a better insight into the underlying mechanism governing the heat stress response of T. viride Tv-1511. We analysed the transcriptomic changes of Tv-1511 under normal and heat stress conditions using RNA sequencing. We observed that Tv-1511 regulates the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites through a complex network of signalling pathways. Additionally, it significantly activates the anti-oxidant defence system, heat shock proteins and stress-response-related transcription factors in response to heat stress. TvHSP70 was identified as a key gene, and transgenic Tv-1511 overexpressing TvHSP70 (TvHSP70-OE) was generated. We conducted an integrated morphological, physiological and molecular analyses of the TvHSP70-OE and wild-type strains. We observed that TvHSP70 over-expression significantly triggered the growth, anti-oxidant capacity, anti-fungal activity and growth-promoting ability of Tv-1511. Regarding anti-oxidant capacity, TvHSP70 primarily up-regulated genes involved in enzymatic and non-enzymatic anti-oxidant systems. In terms of anti-fungal activity, TvHSP70 primarily activated genes involved in the synthesis of enediyne, anti-fungal and aminoglycoside antibiotics. This study provides a comparative analysis of the functional significance and molecular mechanisms of HSP70 in Trichoderma. These findings provide a valuable foundation for further analyses.

Abstract
Benzylamine is a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds such as curing agents and antifungal drugs. To improve the efficiency of benzylamine biosynthesis, we identified the enzymes involved in the multi-enzyme cascade, regulated the expression strength by using RBS engineering in Escherichia coli, and established a regeneration-recycling system for alanine. This is a cosubstrate, coupled to cascade reactions, which resulted in E. coli RARE-TP and can synthesize benzylamine using phenylalanine as a precursor. By optimizing the supply of cosubstrates alanine and ammonia, the yield of benzylamine produced by whole-cell catalysis was increased by 1.5-fold and 2.7-fold, respectively, and the final concentration reached 6.21 mM. In conclusion, we achieved conversion from l-phenylalanine to benzylamine and increased the yield through enzyme screening, expression regulation, and whole-cell catalytic system optimization. This demonstrated a green and sustainable benzylamine synthesis method, which provides a reference and additional information for benzylamine biosynthesis research.

Abstract
Microbial production of valuable compounds can be enhanced by various metabolic strategies. This study proposed combinatorial metabolic engineering to develop an effective Escherichia coli cell factory dedicated to L-cysteine production. First, the crucial regulatory modes that control L-cysteine levels were investigated to guide metabolic modifications. A two-stage fermentation was achieved by employing multi-copy gene expression, improving the balance between production and growth. Subsequently, carbon flux distribution was further optimized by modifying the C1 unit metabolism and the glycolytic pathway. The modifications of sulfur assimilation demonstrated superior performance of thiosulfate utilization pathways in enhancing L-cysteine titer. Furthermore, the studies focusing on cofactor availability and preference emphasized the vital role of synergistic enhancement of sulfur-carbon metabolism in L-cysteine overproduction. In a 5 L bioreactor, the strain BW15-3/pED accumulated 12.6 g/L of L-cysteine. This work presented an effective metabolic engineering strategy for the development of L-cysteine-producing strains.
