JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023; 71:19727-19738. [PMID: 38049383 PMCID: PMC10722544 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.3c05742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023]
Abstract
The structure of yeast cell wall (CW) mannoproteins (MPs) influences their impact on wine properties. Yeast species produce a diverse range of MPs, but the link between properties and specific structural features has been ill-characterized. This study compared the protein and polysaccharide moieties of MP-rich preparations from four strains of four different enologically relevant yeast species, named Saccharomyces boulardii (SB62), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC01), Metschnikowia fructicola (MF77), and Torulaspora delbrueckii (TD70), and a commercial MP preparation. Monosaccharide determination revealed that SB62 MPs contained the highest mannose/glucose ratio followed by SC01, while polysaccharide size distribution analyses showed maximum molecular weights ranging from 1349 kDa for MF77 to 483 kDa for TD70. Protein identification analysis led to the identification of unique CW proteins in SB62, SC01, and TD70, as well as some proteins shared between different strains. This study reveals MP composition diversity within wine yeasts and paves the way toward their industrial exploitation.

Abstract
The EC 2019/187 shows the rules for the usage of ethyl alcohols to fortify wines. These must be obtained from products derived from agriculture and the use of alcohols of mineral or chemical origin is not authorized. The ethyl alcohols authorized for the fortification in the D.O. Sherry have wine origin. But, there are other alcohols that could be equally productive and at a lower economic cost, such as beet or sugar cane alcohol. The effect that different types of ethyl alcohols may have on the yeasts of flor remains unknown. Our goal was to analyze the effects of other alcohols (beet, sugar cane, etc.) on the development of the veil of flor. In this way, the yeasts that constitute the veil of flor of Fino wines were isolated and identified by microbiological techniques and characterized by molecular tools and by biochemical and microbiological tests such as cellular hydrophobicity, flocculation, acetic acid production, etc. Then, base wines were fortified with different distilled alcohols, such as malt brandy, tequila, among others. Biological aging under the veil of flor was monitored to later determine the volatile fractions. Alcohol from sugar cane could be a promising alternative to fortify Fino wines.

Abstract
Sustainable bioproduction usingcarbon neutral feedstocks, especially lignocellulosic biomass, has attracted increasing attention due to concern over climate change and carbon reduction. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulosic biomass using recombinantyeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiaeis a promising strategy forlignocellulosic biorefinery. However, the economic viability is restricted by low enzyme secretion levels.For more efficient CBP, MIG1spsc01isolated from the industrial yeast which encodes the glucose repression regulator derivative was overexpressed. Increased extracellular cellobiohydrolase (CBH) activity was observed with unexpectedly decreased cell wall integrity. Further studies revealed that disruption ofCWP2, YGP1, andUTH1,which are functionally related toMIG1spsc01, also enhanced CBH secretion. Subsequently, improved cellulase production was achieved by simultaneous disruption ofYGP1and overexpression ofSED5, which remarkably increased extracellular CBH activity of 2.2-fold over the control strain. These results provide a novel strategy to improve the CBP yeast for bioconversion of carbon neutral biomass.

Abstract
Flor yeast velum is a biofilm formed by certain yeast strains that distinguishes biologically aged wines such as Sherry wine from southern Spain from others. Although Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most common species, 5.8 S-internal transcribed spacer (ITS) restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses have revealed the existence of non-Saccharomyces species. In order to uncover the flor microbiota diversity at a species level, we used ITS (internal transcribed spacer 1)-metabarcoding and matrix-assisted laser desorption/Ionization time of flight mass spectrometry techniques. Further, to enhance identification effectiveness, we performed an additional incubation stage in 1:1 wine:yeast extract peptone dextrose (YPD) before identification. Six species were identified: S. cerevisiae, Pichia manshurica, Pichia membranifaciens, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Candida guillermondii, and Trichosporon asahii, two of which were discovered for the first time (C. guillermondii and Trichosporon ashaii) in Sherry wines. We analyzed wines where non-Saccharomyces yeasts were present or absent to see any potential link between the microbiota and the chemical profile. Only 2 significant volatile chemicals (out of 13 quantified), ethanol and ethyl lactate, and 2 enological parameters (out of 6 quantified), such as pH and titratable acidity, were found to differ in long-aged wines. Although results show a low impact where the non-Saccharomyces yeasts are present, these yeasts isolated from harsh environments (high ethanol and low nutrient availability) could have a potential industrial interest in fields such as food microbiology and biofuel production.

Abstract
Flor strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae represent a special group of yeasts used for producing biologically aged wines. We analyzed the collection of commercial wine and flor yeast strains, as well as environmental strains isolated from the surface of grapes growing in vineyards, for resistance to abiotic stresses, adhesive properties, and the ability to form a floating flor. The degree of resistance of commercial strains to ethanol, acetaldehyde, and hydrogen peroxide was generally not higher than that of environmental isolates, some of which had high resistance to the tested stress agents. The relatively low degree of stress resistance of flor strains can be explained both by the peculiarities of their adaptive mechanisms and by differences in the nature of their exposure to various types of stress in the course of biological wine aging and under the experimental conditions we used. The hydrophobicity and adhesive properties of cells were determined by the efficiency of adsorption to polystyrene and the distribution of cells between the aqueous and organic phases. Flor strains were distinguished by a higher degree of hydrophobicity of the cell surface and an increased ability to adhere to polystyrene. A clear correlation between biofilm formation and adhesive properties was also observed for environmental yeast isolates. The overall results of this study indicate that relatively simple tests for cell hydrophobicity can be used for the rapid screening of new candidate flor strains in yeast culture collections and among environmental isolates.

Improving the functionality of surface-engineered yeast cells by altering the cell wall morphology of the host strain. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:5895-5904. [PMID: 34272577 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11440-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/03/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
The expression of functional proteins on the cell surface using glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchoring technology is a promising approach for constructing yeast cells with special functions. The functionality of surface-engineered yeast strains strongly depends on the amount of functional proteins displayed on their cell surface. On the other hand, since the yeast cell wall space is finite, heterologous protein carrying capacity of the cell wall is limited. Here, we report the effect of CCW12 and CCW14 knockout, which encode major nonenzymatic GPI-anchored cell wall proteins (GPI-CWPs) involved in the cell wall organization, on the heterologous protein carrying capacity of yeast cell wall. Aspergillus aculeatus β-glucosidase (BGL) was used as a reporter to evaluate the protein carrying capacity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. No significant difference in the amount of cell wall-associated BGL and cell-surface BGL activity was observed between CCW12 and CCW14 knockout strains and their control strain. In contrast, in the CCW12 and CCW14 co-knockout strains, the amount of cell wall-associated BGL and its activity were approximately 1.4-fold higher than those of the control strain and CCW12 or CCW14 knockout strains. Electron microscopic observation revealed that the total cell wall thickness of the CCW12 and CCW14 co-knockout strains was increased compared to the parental strain, suggesting a potential increase in heterologous protein carrying capacity of the cell wall. These results indicate that the CCW12 and CCW14 co-knockout strains are a promising host for the construction of highly functional recombinant yeast strains using cell-surface display technology. KEY POINTS: • CCW12 and/or CCW14 of a BGL-displaying S. cerevisiae strain were knocked out. • CCW12 and CCW14 co-disruption improved the display efficiency of BGL. • The thickness of the yeast cell wall was increased upon CCW12 and CCW14 knockout.

Abstract
In this study, yeast cell immobilization was carried out in a packed bed reactor (PBR) to investigate the effects of the volumetric capacity of carriers as well as the different fermentation modes on fuel ethanol production. An optimal volumetric capacity of 10 g/l was found to obtain a high cell concentration. The productivity of immobilized cell fermentation was 16% higher than that of suspended-cell fermentation in batch and it reached a higher value of 4.28 g/l/h in repeated batches. Additionally, using this method, the ethanol yield (95.88%) was found to be higher than that of other tested methods due to low concentrations of residual sugars and free cells. Continuous ethanol production using four bioreactors showed a higher productivity (9.57 g/l/h) and yield (96.96%) with an ethanol concentration of 104.65 g/l obtained from 219.42 g/l of initial total sugar at a dilution rate of 0.092 h-1. Furthermore, we reversed the substrate-feed flow directions in the in-series bioreactors to keep the cells at their highest activity and to extend the length of continuous fermentation. Our study demonstrates an effective method of ethanol production with a new immobilized approach, and that by switching the flow directions, traditional continuous fermentation can be greatly improved, which could have practical and broad implications in industrial applications.

Abstract
Modern industrial winemaking is based on the use of starter cultures of specialized wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Commercial wine strains have a number of advantages over natural isolates, and it is their use that guarantees the stability and reproducibility of industrial winemaking technologies. For the highly competitive wine market with new demands for improved wine quality, it has become increasingly critical to develop new wine strains and winemaking technologies. Novel opportunities for precise wine strain engineering based on detailed knowledge of the molecular nature of a particular trait or phenotype have recently emerged due to the rapid progress in genomic and "postgenomic" studies with wine yeast strains. The review summarizes the current achievements of the metabolic engineering of wine yeast, the results of recent studies and the prospects for the application of genomic editing technologies for improving wine S. cerevisiae strains.

Abstract
In natural environments, microorganisms form microbial aggregates called biofilms able to adhere to a multitude of different surfaces. Yeasts make no exception to this rule, being able to form biofilms in a plethora of environmental niches. In food realms, yeast biofilms may cause major problems due to their alterative activities. In addition, yeast biofilms are tenacious structures difficult to eradicate or treat with the current arsenal of antifungal agents. Thus, much effort is being made to develop novel approaches to prevent and disrupt yeast biofilms, for example through the use of natural antimicrobials or small molecules with both inhibiting and dispersing properties. The aim of this review is to provide a synopsis of the most recent literature on yeast biofilms regarding: (i) biofilm formation mechanisms; (ii) occurrence in food and in food-related environments; and (iii) inhibition and dispersal using natural compounds, in particular.

Abstract
In this study, a first proteomic approach was carried out to characterize the adaptive response of cell wall-related proteins to endogenous CO2 overpressure, which is typical of second fermentation conditions, in two wine Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (P29, a conventional second fermentation strain, and G1, a flor yeast strain implicated in sherry wine making). The results showed a high number of cell wall proteins in flor yeast G1 under pressure, highlighting content at the first month of aging. The cell wall proteomic response to pressure in flor yeast G1 was characterized by an increase in both the number and content of cell wall proteins involved in glucan remodeling and mannoproteins. On the other hand, cell wall proteins responsible for glucan assembly, cell adhesion, and lipid metabolism stood out in P29. Over-represented proteins under pressure were involved in cell wall integrity (Ecm33p and Pst1p), protein folding (Ssa1p and Ssa2p), and glucan remodeling (Exg2p and Scw4p). Flocculation-related proteins were not identified under pressure conditions. The use of flor yeasts for sparkling wine elaboration and improvement is proposed. Further research based on the genetic engineering of wine yeast using those genes from protein biomarkers under pressure alongside the second fermentation in bottle is required to achieve improvements.

Abstract
Flor strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are principal microbial agents responsible for biological wine aging used for production of sherry-like wines. The flor yeast velum formed on the surface of fortified fermented must is a major adaptive and technological characteristic of flor yeasts that helps them to withstanding stressful winemaking conditions and ensures specific biochemical and sensory oxidative alterations typical for sherry wines. We have applied RNAseq technology for transcriptome analysis of an industrial flor yeast strain at different steps of velum development over 71 days under experimental winemaking conditions. Velum growth and maturation was accompanied by accumulation of aldehydes and acetales. We have identified 1490 differentially expressed genes including 816 genes upregulated and 674 downregulated more than 2-fold at mature biofilm stage as compared to the early biofilm. Distinct expression patterns of genes involved in carbon and nitrogen metabolism, respiration, cell cycle, DNA repair, cell adhesion, response to various stresses were observed. Many genes involved in response to different stresses, oxidative carbon metabolism, high affinity transport of sugars, glycerol utilization, sulfur metabolism, protein quality control and recycling, cell wall biogenesis, apoptosis were induced at the mature biofilm stage. Strong upregulation was observed for FLO11 flocculin while expression of other flocculins remained unaltered or moderately downregulated. Downregulated genes included those for proteins involved in glycolysis, transportation of ions, metals, aminoacids, sugars, indicating repression of some major transport and metabolic process at the mature biofilm stage. Presented results are important for in-depth understanding of cell response elicited by velum formation and sherry wine manufacturing conditions, and for the comprehension of relevant regulatory mechanisms. Such knowledge may help to better understand the molecular mechanisms that flor yeasts use to adapt to winemaking environments, establish the functions of previously uncharacterized genes, improve the technology of sherry- wine production, and find target genes for strain improvement.

Abstract
Sporotrichosis is an emergent subcutaneous mycosis that is a threat to both humans and other animals. Sporotrichosis is acquired by the traumatic implantation of species of the Sporothrix genus. Added to the detoxification systems, pathogenic fungi possess different mechanisms that allow them to survive within the phagocytic cells of their human host during the oxidative burst. These mechanisms greatly depend from the cell wall (CW) since phagocytic cells recognize pathogens through specific receptors associated to the structure. To date, there are no studies addressing the modulation of the expression of S. schenckii CW proteins (CWP) in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, in this work, a proteomic analysis of the CW of S. schenckii in response to the oxidative agent menadione (O2•-) was performed. Proteins that modulate their expression were identified which can be related to the fungal survival mechanisms within the phagocyte. Among the up-regulated CWP in response to the oxidative agent, 13 proteins that could be involved in the mechanisms of oxidative stress response in S. schenckii were identified. The proteins identified were thioredoxin1 (Trx1), superoxide dismutase (Sod), GPI-anchored cell wall protein, β-1,3-endoglucanase EglC, glycoside hydrolase (Gh), chitinase, CFEM domain protein, glycosidase crf1, covalently-linked cell wall protein (Ccw), 30 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp30), lipase, trehalase (Treh), fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (Fba1) and citrate synthase (Cs). The identification of CWP that modulates their expression in response to superoxide ion (O2•-) in S. schenckii is a useful approach to understand how the fungus defends itself against ROS, in order to evade the phagocytic cells from the host and cause the infection.

New insights on yeast and filamentous fungus adhesion in a natural co-immobilization system: proposed advances and applications in wine industry. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2019; 103:4723-4731. [PMID: 31079167 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-019-09870-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2019] [Revised: 04/18/2019] [Accepted: 04/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Fungi possess extraordinary strength in attachment to biotic and abiotic surfaces. This review focuses on adhesion mechanisms of yeast and filamentous fungi and the proposed combination of the adhesive forces of both organisms in an immobilization system called yeast biocapsules, whereby Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are attached to the hyphae of Penicillium chrysogenum. The natural adherent properties of each organism, one multicellular and another unicellular, allow yeast to be fixated securely on the filamentous fungi and complete alcoholic fermentation. Following alcoholic fermentation, the hyphae become an inert support for yeast cells while maintaining shape and integrity. Biocapsules have been used successfully in both wine and bioethanol production. Investigation of the potential genes involved in fungal-yeast fusion suggests that natural hydrophobic interactions of both organisms play a major role. Analysis of the possible mechanisms involved in fungus and yeast adhesion, future perspectives on improving yeast immobilization, and proposed applications of the biocapsules are explored.

Abstract
Thirty-three Kluyveromyces marxianus strains were tested for the ability to form biofilm and mat structures in YPD and whey and for cell surface hydrophobicity. To identify genes potentially involved in adhesion properties, a RT-qPCR analysis was performed. Eight strains were able to adhere on polystyrene plates in both media and formed a mature mat structure. These strains showed a different level of hydrophobicity ranging from 55 to 66% in YPD and from 69 to 81% in whey. Four K. marxianus orthologs genes (FLO11, STE12, TPK3, and WSC4), known from studies in other yeast to be involved in biofilm formation, have been studied. FLO11 and STE12 showed the highest fold changes in all conditions tested and especially in whey: 15.05 and 11.21, respectively. TPK3 was upregulated only in a strain, and WSC4 in 3 strains. In YPD, fold changes were lower than in whey with STE12 and FLO11 genes showing the highest fold changes. In mat structures FLO11 and STE12 fold changes ranged from 3.6-1.3 to 2-1.17, respectively. Further studies are necessary to better understand the role of these genes in K. marxianus adhesion ability.

Comparative analysis of intracellular metabolites, proteins and their molecular functions in a flor yeast strain under two enological conditions. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2018; 35:6.

Abstract
Flor yeasts confer a wide range of organoleptic properties to Sherry-type wines during a process called "biological aging" that takes place after alcoholic fermentation. These kinds of yeasts adapt to a biological aging condition by forming a biofilm known as "flor velum" and by changing from fermentative to oxidative metabolism. It has been reported that some functions such as increase of cell surface hydrophobicity or changes to lipid metabolism are enhanced when yeasts switch to biofilm lifestyle. Here, we attempt to reveal intracellular metabolites and protein molecular functions not documented before that are relevant in biofilm formation and in fermentation by an endometabolome and proteome screening. We report that at early stages of biofilm formation, flor yeasts accumulate mannose, trehalose, glycerol, oleic and stearic acids and synthesize high amounts of GTPases, glycosylases and lipoproteins. On the other hand, in early fermentation, flor yeasts rapidly consume glucose and phosphoric acid; and produce abundant proteins related to chromatin binding, transcription factors and methyl transferases.

Yang L, Zheng C, Chen Y, Ying H. FLO Genes Family and Transcription Factor MIG1 Regulate Saccharomyces cerevisiae Biofilm Formation During Immobilized Fermentation. Front Microbiol 2018; 9:1860. [PMID: 30210459 PMCID: PMC6119776 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.01860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2018] [Accepted: 07/24/2018] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilization is commonly used for efficient ethanol fuel production in industry due to the relatively higher ethanol stress resistance of S. cerevisiae in biofilms relative to planktonic cells. The mechanisms of biofilm formation and stress resistance, however, remain ambiguous. By analyzing biofilm and planktonic cell transcriptomes, this study observed that MIG1 (encoding a transcription factor) expression in cells increases during the biofilm formation process. To identify the role of MIG1 in yeast biofilm formation and the ethanol resistance of these cells, MIG1 was deleted and complemented in S. cerevisiae 1308. Results showed the MIG1 deletion mutant strain demonstrated weaker biofilm formation ability both on fibers and plastic than the wild-type and these could be restored by expressing MIG1 in deletion mutant. To verify the ability of MIG1 to regulate the expression of FLO genes, which encode adhesions responsible for yeast biofilm formation, FLO gene transcription levels were measured via qRT-PCR. Relative to wild-type S. cerevisiae, the adhesion genes FLO1, 5, and 9 which also demonstrate increased expression in the transcriptome of yeast cells during biofilm formation, but not FLO11, were down-regulated in the MIG1 mutant strain. Additionally, the MIG1 mutant lost a majority of its flocculation ability, which depended on cell-cell adhesions and its slightly invasive growth ability, dependent on cell-substrate adhesion. Deleting FLO1, 5, and 9 decreased biofilm formation on plastics, suggesting these FLO genes contribute to the biofilm formation process alongside FLO11. Moreover, the ethanol tolerance of yeast decreased in the MIG1 deletion mutant as well as the FLO11 deletion mutant, resulting in reduced biofilm formation during fermentation. It remains possible that in the later period of fermentation, when ethanol has accumulated, an over-expression of the FLO1, 5, and 9 genes regulated by MIG1 would enhanced cell-cell adhesions and thus protect cells in the outer layer of biofilms from ethanol, a function primarily dependent on cell-cell adhesions. This work offers a possible explanation for how biofilm formation is regulated during the immobilized fermentation process, and can enhance environmental tolerance in industrial production.
