Synergistic detoxification efficiency and mechanism of triclocarban degradation by a bacterial consortium in the liver-gut-microbiota axis of zebrafish (Danio rerio). JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134178. [PMID: 38608581 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134178] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Triclocarban (TCC), an emerging organic contaminant, poses a potential threat to human health with long-term exposure. Here, Rhodococcus rhodochrous BX2 and Pseudomonas sp. LY-1 were utilized to degrade TCC at environmental related concentrations for enhancing TCC biodegradation and investigating whether the toxicity of intermediate metabolites is lower than that of the parent compound. The results demonstrated that the bacterial consortium could degrade TCC by 82.0% within 7 days. The calculated 96 h LC50 for TCC, as well as its main degradation product 3,4-Dichloroaniline (DCA) were 0.134 mg/L and 1.318 mg/L respectively. Biodegradation also alleviated histopathological lesions induced by TCC in zebrafish liver and gut tissues. Liver transcriptome analysis revealed that biodegradation weakened differential expression of genes involved in disrupted immune regulation and lipid metabolism caused by TCC, verified through RT-qPCR analysis and measurement of related enzyme activities and protein contents. 16 S rRNA sequencing indicated that exposure to TCC led to gut microbial dysbiosis, which was efficiently improved through TCC biodegradation, resulting in decreased relative abundances of major pathogens. Overall, this study evaluated potential environmental risks associated with biodegradation of TCC and explored possible biodetoxification mechanisms, providing a theoretical foundation for efficient and harmless bioremediation of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Fatty acids have been supplied for diverse non-food, industrial applications from plant oils and animal fats for many decades. Due to the massively increasing world population demanding a nutritious diet and the thrive to provide feedstocks for industrial production lines in a sustainable way, i.e., independent from food supply chains, alternative fatty acid sources have massively gained in importance. Carbohydrate-rich side-streams of agricultural production, e.g., molasses, lignocellulosic waste, glycerol from biodiesel production, and even CO2, are considered and employed as carbon sources for the fermentative accumulation of fatty acids in selected microbial hosts. While certain fatty acid species are readily accumulated in native microbial metabolic routes, other fatty acid species are scarce, and host strains need to be metabolically engineered for their high-level production. We report the metabolic engineering of Pichia pastoris to produce palmitoleic acid from glucose and discuss the beneficial and detrimental engineering steps in detail. Fatty acid secretion was achieved through the deletion of fatty acyl-CoA synthetases and overexpression of the truncated E. coli thioesterase 'TesA. The best strains secreted >1 g/L free fatty acids into the culture medium. Additionally, the introduction of C16-specific ∆9-desaturases and fatty acid synthases, coupled with improved cultivation conditions, increased the palmitoleic acid content from 5.5% to 22%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The disposal of plastic waste is a major environmental challenge. With recent advances in microbial genetic and metabolic engineering technologies, microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are being used as next-generation biomaterials to replace petroleum-based synthetic plastics in a sustainable future. However, the relatively high production cost of bioprocesses hinders the production and application of microbial PHAs on an industrial scale. RESULTS Here, we describe a rapid strategy to rewire metabolic networks in an industrial microorganism, Corynebacterium glutamicum, for the enhanced production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). A three-gene PHB biosynthetic pathway in Rasltonia eutropha was refactored for high-level gene expression. A fluorescence-based quantification assay for cellular PHB content using BODIPY was devised for the rapid fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-based screening of a large combinatorial metabolic network library constructed in C. glutamicum. Rewiring metabolic networks across the central carbon metabolism enabled highly efficient production of PHB up to 29% of dry cell weight with the highest cellular PHB productivity ever reported in C. glutamicum using a sole carbon source. CONCLUSIONS We successfully constructed a heterologous PHB biosynthetic pathway and rapidly optimized metabolic networks across central metabolism in C. glutamicum for enhanced production of PHB using glucose or fructose as a sole carbon source in minimal media. We expect that this FACS-based metabolic rewiring framework will accelerate strain engineering processes for the production of diverse biochemicals and biopolymers.

Abstract
Schizochytrium is one of the few oleaginous microalgae that produce docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich lipids. In this study, global changes in gene expression levels of Schizochytrium sp. FJU-512 cultured with malate in a 15 l-bioreactor was analyzed using comparative transcriptomics. The changes were found mainly in the genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, β-oxidation, and pentose phosphate pathways. Consequently, the global changes in genes associated with the pathways could lead to an increase in the influx throughputs of pyruvate, branched-chain amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamin B6. Our transcriptome analysis indicated pyruvate dehydrogenase E2 component and acetolactate synthase I/II/III large subunit as major contributors to acetyl-CoA biosynthesis, whereas glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was indicated as the major contributor to the biosynthesis of NADPH. An increase in DHA titer of up to 22% was achieved with the addition of malate to the fed-batch culture of Schizochytrium sp. FJU-512. This study provides an alternate method to enhance DHA production in Schizochytrium sp. FJU-512 through malate induced upregulation of genes responsible for acetyl-CoA and NADPH biosynthesis.

Comparative transcriptomic and lipidomic analyses indicate that cold stress enhanced the production of the long C18–C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids in Aurantiochytrium sp. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:915773. [PMID: 36204624 PMCID: PMC9530390 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.915773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aurantiochytrium sp. belonging to Thraustochytrids are known for their capacity to produce long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). However, effects of cold stress accompanied with staged-temperature control on the fatty acid metabolism in Aurantiochytrium sp. were rarely studied. In this study, cold stress (15°C, 5°C) was applied for Aurantiochytrium sp., with the physiological responses (morphology, growth, fatty acid profiling) and gene expression related FA synthesis, lipid metabolism, and regulatory processes was observed. Results showed that there is a significant change for the lipid types under 5°C (251 species) and 15°C (97 species) treatment. The 5°C treatment was benefit for the C18–C22 PUFAs with the yield of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) increased to 1.25 times. After incubation at 15°C, the accumulation of eicosadienoic acid (EA) (20:2) was increased to 2.00-fold. Based on transcriptomic and qPCR analysis, an increase in genes involved in fatty acid synthase (FAS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) pathways was observed under low-temperature treatment. With upregulation of 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (2.44-fold), ketoreductase (2.50-fold), and dTDP-glucose 4,6-Dehydratase (rfbB) (2.31-fold) involved in PKS pathway, the accumulation of DHA was enhanced under 5°C. While, FAS and fatty elongase 3 (ELO) involved in the FAS pathway were upregulated (1.55-fold and 2.45-fold, respectively) to accumulate PUFAs at 15°C. Additionally, glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT), lysophospholipid acyltransferase (LPAT), phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP), phosphatidylserine synthase (PSS), and phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (PSD) involved in glycerophospholipid biosynthesis were upregulated at 5°C increasing the accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and phosphatidylinositol (PI). However, glycolysis and the TCA cycle were inhibited under 5°C. This study provides a contribution to the application of two-staged temperature control in the Aurantiochytrium sp. fermentation for producing cold stress-enhancing PUFAs, in order to better understand the function of the key genes for future genetic engineering.

Abstract
Present work reports a simple approach of microsupplementing nitrogen starved production media with potential activators of lipogenic enzymes for boosting de novo lipogenesis and demonstrated a 70-117 % rise in lipid content (LC) of yeast isolate Geotrichum candidum NBT-1. A hypothesis was proposed to increase the LC in the isolate at fixed minimum C/N ratio and small molecular activators for 3 key enzymes of lipogenic pathways. ATP citrate lyase, malic enzyme and acetyl CoA-carboxylase were screened in silico. Screened molecules were microsupplemented in nitrogen-starved media for examining the actual influence of their individual and synergistic combination on boosting LC of the isolate, which revealed sodium acetate as a major effector. Acetate in 4 mM concentration, independently and in combination with citric acid and sucrose resulted in a 2-2.2-fold increase in G. candidum LC from 24.8% in control to 49.27% and 53.96%, respectively. A volumetric lipid productivity of 0.0288 g/L/h with appreciable lipid coefficient of 9.77 was achieved in acetate supplemented media. Extracted lipids were 70-90% concentrated in a medium chain fatty acid (MCFA)-caprylic acid (C8:0), which has upsurging nutritional and nutraceutical importance.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the leading reasons for discontinuation of a new drug development project. Diverse machine learning or deep learning models have been developed to predict DILI. However, these models have not provided an adequate understanding of the mechanisms leading to DILI. The development of safer drugs requires novel computational approaches that enable the prompt understanding of the mechanism of DILI. In this study, the mechanisms leading to the development of cholestasis, steatosis, hepatitis, and cirrhosis were explored using a semi-automated approach for data gathering and associations. Diverse data from ToxCast, Comparative Toxicogenomic Database (CTD), Reactome, and Open TG-GATEs on reference molecules leading to the development of the respective diseases were extracted. The data were used to create biological networks of the four diseases. As expected, the four networks had several common pathways, and a joint DILI network was assembled. Such biological networks could be used in drug discovery to identify possible molecules of concern as they provide a better understanding of the disease-specific key events. The events can be target-tested to provide indications for potential DILI effects.

Abstract
To maintain high microalgae lipid productivity and flocculation efficiency simultaneously and reduce the production cost of microalgae lipids, Monoraphidium sp. FXY-10 with high lipid-producing capacity and Heveochlorella sp. Yu with strong self-flocculation ability were cocultivated and studied. Cocultivated microalgae lipid productivity and flocculation efficiency were increased to 203.8 mg L-1 day-1 and 70.55%, respectively, which is potentially related to the excessive competitive depletion of nitrogen sources and the upregulation of correlative key genes in lipid anabolic metabolism. Under cocultivation conditions, microalgae cells could enter the stationary phase 2 days earlier than that under monocultivation conditions, thus reducing the culture time. Relative expression of the accD, ME, and rbcL genes was upregulated to varying degrees, and the enzyme activities of ACCase, ME, and RuBisCO were also significantly increased compared with those in monocultivation. Moreover, fatty acid composition showed that microalgae lipids in cocultivation exhibited potential as a feedstock for biodiesel.

Abstract
Simple Summary Screening and interpretation of differentially expressed genes and associated biological pathways was conducted among experimental groups with divergent phenotypes providing valuable information about the metabolic events occurring and identification of candidate genes with major regulation roles. This comparative transcriptomic analysis includes the first RNA-seq analysis of the Longissimus lumborum muscle tissue from two Portuguese autochthonous pig breeds with different genetic backgrounds, Alentejano and Bísaro. Moreover, a complementary candidate gene approach was employed to analyse, by real time qPCR, the expression profile of relevant genes involved in lipid metabolism, and therefore with potential impacts on meat composition. This study contributes to explaining the biological basis of phenotypical differences occurring between breeds, particularly the ones related to meat quality traits that affect consumer interest. Abstract Gene expression is one of the main factors to influence meat quality by modulating fatty acid metabolism, composition, and deposition rates in muscle tissue. This study aimed to explore the transcriptomics of the Longissimus lumborum muscle in two local pig breeds with distinct genetic background using next-generation sequencing technology and Real-Time qPCR. RNA-seq yielded 49 differentially expressed genes between breeds, 34 overexpressed in the Alentejano (AL) and 15 in the Bísaro (BI) breed. Specific slow type myosin heavy chain components were associated with AL (MYH7) and BI (MYH3) pigs, while an overexpression of MAP3K14 in AL may be associated with their lower loin proportion, induced insulin resistance, and increased inflammatory response via NFkB activation. Overexpression of RUFY1 in AL pigs may explain the higher intramuscular (IMF) content via higher GLUT4 recruitment and consequently higher glucose uptake that can be stored as fat. Several candidate genes for lipid metabolism, excluded in the RNA-seq analysis due to low counts, such as ACLY, ADIPOQ, ELOVL6, LEP and ME1 were identified by qPCR as main gene factors defining the processes that influence meat composition and quality. These results agree with the fatter profile of the AL pig breed and adiponectin resistance can be postulated as responsible for the overexpression of MAP3K14′s coding product NIK, failing to restore insulin sensitivity.

Enzyme-based amperometric biosensors for malic acid - A review. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1156:338218.

Abstract
Malic acid is a key flavour component of many fruits and vegetables. There is significant interest in technologies for monitoring its concentration, particularly in winemaking. In this review we systematically and comprehensively chart progress in the development of enzyme-based amperometric biosensors for malic acid. We summarise the components and analytical parameters of malic acid sensors that have been reported over the past four decades, discussing their merits and pitfalls in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, linear range, response time and stability. We discuss how advances in electrode materials, electron mediators and the use of coupled enzymes have improved sensitivity and minimised interference, but also uncover a trade-off between sensitivity and linear range. A particular focus of our review is the three types of malate oxidoreductase enzyme that have been used in malic acid biosensors. We describe their different properties and conclude that identifying and/or engineering superior alternatives will be a key future direction for improving the commercial utility of malic acid biosensors.

Abstract
When compared to modern lean-type breeds, Portuguese local Alentejano (AL) and Bísaro (BI) pig breeds present a high potential for subcutaneous and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition which contributes for better meat quality. The aim of this work was to explore the genome function to better understand the underlying physiological mechanisms associated with body fat accretion. Dorsal subcutaneous fat samples were collected at slaughter from adult animals (n = 4 for each breed) with ~150 kg body weight. Total RNA was obtained and sequenced for transcriptome analysis using DESeq2. A total of 458 differentially expressed (DE) genes (q-value < 0.05) were identified, with 263 overexpressed in AL and 195 in BI. Key genes involved in de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, elongation and desaturation were upregulated in AL such as ACLY, FASN, ME1, ELOVL6 and SCD. A functional enrichment analysis of the DE genes was performed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Cholesterol synthesis is suggested to be higher in AL via SREBF2, SCAP and PPARG, while lipolytic activity may be more active in BI through GH and AMPK signalling. Increased signalling of CD40 together with the predicted activation of INSIG1 and INSIG2 in BI suggests that this breed is more sensitive to insulin whereas the AL is less sensitive like the Iberian breed.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of salt stress on the physiological, lipidomic and transcriptomic profiles of halophilic microalga Schizochytrium sp. were investigated. In general, Schizochytrium sp. could survive under high osmotic fermentation medium containing 30 g/L NaCl, and showed a significant increase in C14:0 percentage in total fatty acids. In lipidomic analysis, C14:0 was specifically enriched in phosphatidylcholine (PC), and membrane phospholipids participated in the salt stress response mostly. Specially, one novel signal lipid N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE) (18:0/20:3/14:0) was upregulated significantly. Transcriptomic analysis revealed glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) and phospholipase ABHD3 (PLABDH3) were involved in C14:0 metabolism and NAPE biosynthesis. Signalling pathways they mediated were activated as evident by high expression level of Myristoyl-CoA: protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) and NAPE-hydrolyzing PLD (NAPE-PLD). This study gives us an insight in specific responses to salt stress in Schizochytrium sp. and provides a considerable proportion of novel genes that could commendably be used for engineering modification.

Abstract
Microalgae have been considered as alternative sustainable resources for high-value bioproducts such as lipids (especially triacylglycerides [TAGs]), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and carotenoids, due to their relatively high photosynthetic efficiency, no arable land requirement, and ease of scale-up. It is of great significance to exploit microalgae for the production of high-value bioproducts. How to improve the content or productivity of specific bioproducts has become one of the most urgent challenges. In this review, we will describe high-value bioproducts from microalgae and their biosynthetic pathways (mainly for lipids, PUFAs, and carotenoids). Recent progress and strategies for the enhanced production of bioproducts from microalgae are also described in detail, and these strategies take advantages of optimized cultivation conditions with abiotic stress, chemical stress (addition of metabolic precursors, phytohormones, chemical inhibitors, and chemicals inducing oxidative stress response), and molecular approaches such as metabolic engineering, transcriptional engineering, and gene disruption strategies (mainly RNAi, antisense RNA, miRNA-based knockdown, and CRISPR/Cas9).

Abstract
Lipid accumulation of Schizochytrium sp. can be induced by stress condition, but this stress-induction usually reduce cell growth and cause oxidative damage, which can eventually lower the lipid yield. Here, adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) combined high salinity was performed to enhance the antioxidant system and lipid accumulation. The final strain ALE150, which was obtained after 150 days, showed a maximal cell dry weight (CDW) of 134.5 g/L and lipid yield of 80.14 g/L, representing a 32.7 and 53.31% increase over the starting strain, respectively. Moreover, ALE150 exhibited an overall higher total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and lower reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels than the starting strain. Furthermore, the regulatory mechanisms responsible for the improved performance of ALE150 were analyzed by transcriptomic analysis. Genes related to the antioxidant enzymes and central carbon metabolism were up-regulation. Moreover, the metabolic fluxes towards the fatty acid synthase (FAS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) pathways were also changed.

Abstract
The occurrence of NADP+-dependent malic enzymes (NADP+-MEs) in several Rhodococcus strains was analysed. The NADP+-ME number in Rhodococcus genomes seemed to be a strain-dependent property. Total NADP+-ME activity increased by 1.8- and 2.6-fold in the oleaginous Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 and Rhodococcus opacus PD630 strains during cultivation under nitrogen-limiting conditions. Total NADP+-ME activity inhibition by sesamol resulted in a significant decrease of the cellular biomass and lipid production in oleaginous rhodococci. A non-redundant ME coded by the RHA1_RS44255 gene located in a megaplasmid (pRHL3) of R. jostii RHA1 was characterized and its heterologous expression in Escherichia coli resulted in a twofold increase in ME activity in an NADP+-dependent manner. The overexpression of RHA1_RS44255 in RHA1 and PD630 strains grown on glucose promoted an increase in total NADP+-ME activity and an up to 1.9-foldincrease in total fatty acid production without sacrificing cellular biomass. On the other hand, its expression in Rhodococcus fascians F7 grown on glycerol resulted in a 1.3-1.4-foldincrease in total fatty acid content. The results of this study confirmed the contribution of NADP+-MEs to TAG accumulation in oleaginous rhodococci and the utility of these enzymes as an alternative approach to increase bacterial oil production from different carbon sources.

Abstract
Enhancing lipid productivity and reducing oxidative damage is essential for lipid overproduction in microalgae. In this study, addition of 20 mg/L fulvic acid (FA) resulted a 34.4% increase of lipid yield in Schizochytrium sp. Furthermore, the cooperative effect of FA and EDTA on cell growth and lipid production was investigated. The combined addition of 20 mg/L FA and 1.0 g/L EDTA yielded a maximal cell dry weight of 130.7 g/L and lipid productivity of 1.16 g/L/h, representing 36.4% and threefold increase over the non-supplemented group, respectively. Moreover, compared with the non-supplemented group, the combined addition strategy exhibited overall lower levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, which accompanied with 66.7% and 81.9% higher superoxide dismutase and catalase activity, respectively. Furthermore, a 24.1–37.1% increase of malic enzyme and 19.4–25.2% decrease of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity was observed during the entire fermentation stage (0–108 h). Results suggested that the combined addition strategy not only enhanced lipid accumulation, but also prevented the lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
To verify the function of malic enzyme (ME1), the ME1 gene was endogenously overexpressed in Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Overexpression of ME1 increased neutral and total lipid content and significantly increased saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in transformants, which varied between 23.19 and 25.32% in SFAs and between 49.02 and 54.04% in PUFAs, respectively. Additionally, increased ME1 activity was accompanied by elevated NADPH content in all three transformants, indicating that increased ME1 activity produced additional NADPH comparing with that of WT. These results indicated that ME1 activity is NADP-dependent and plays an important role in the NADPH levels required for lipid synthesis and fatty acid desaturation in P. tricornutum. Furthermore, our findings suggested that overexpression of endogenous ME1 represents a valid method for boosting neutral-lipid yield in diatom.

Abstract
Dunaliella tertiolecta, a halotolerant alga, can accumulate large amounts of neutral lipid, which makes it a potential biodiesel feedstock. In this study, neutral lipids of D. tertiolecta induced by different salinities or N or P starvation were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), flow cytometry (FCM), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). High salinities or N or P starvation resulted in a decrease in cell growth and chlorophyll contents of D. tertiolecta. Neutral lipid contents increased markedly after 3-7 days of N starvation or at low NaCl concentrations (0.5-2.0 M). N starvation had a more dramatic effect on the neutral lipid contents of D. tertiolecta than P starvation. Four putative ME isozymes in different conditions can be detected by using isozyme electrophoresis. Two alternative acetyl-CoA producers, ACL and ACS genes, were up-regulated under low salinities and N starvation. It was suggested that low salinities and N starvation are considered efficient ways to stimulate lipid accumulation in D. tertiolecta.
