Foods 2024; 13:2409. [PMID: 39123600 PMCID: PMC11311647 DOI: 10.3390/foods13152409] [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: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Yeasts are pivotal brewing microbes that are associated with the flavor and quality of Chinese baijiu, yet research on dominant yeasts in strong-flavor baijiu brewing remains limited. In this study, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia kudriavzevii, and Kazachstania bulderi were identified as predominated yeasts in strong-flavor baijiu. Each strain showed distinct characteristics in ethanol resistance, thermal tolerance, and lactic acid tolerance, severally. S. cerevisiae FJ1-2 excelled in ethanol and ethyl ester production, P. kudriavzevii FJ1-1 in ethyl acetate, and K. bulderi FJ1-3 in lactic acid generation. Subsequently, the reinforced Fuqu of each yeast were severally prepared for application in baijiu brewing to verify their functions. Results revealed that the relative abundance of fortified yeast in each group rose. Pichia, Kazachstania, and Saccharomyces emerged as the core microbe for each group, respectively, by co-occurrence network analysis, influencing the microbiota to regulate flavor substances. In short, P. kudriavzevii FJ1-1 enhanced ethyl acetate. K. bulderi FJ1-3 improved ethyl caproate production and decreased levels of ethyl acetate and higher alcohols by modulating yeast community between Pichia and Saccharomyces. This is a systematic endeavor to study the functions of yeasts of strong-flavor baijiu, providing a solid basis for improving baijiu quality.

J Biotechnol 2024; 388:11-23. [PMID: 38614441 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2024.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
Acids play a crucial role in enhancing the flavor of strong-aroma Baijiu, and among them, caproic acid holds significant importance in determining the flavor of the final product. However, the metabolic synthesis of caproic acid during the production process of Baijiu has received limited attention, resulting in fluctuations in caproic acid content among fermentation batches and generating production instability. Acid-producing bacteria found in the cellar mud are the primary microorganisms responsible for caproic acid synthesis, but there is a lack of research on the related microbial resources and their metabolic properties. Therefore, it is essential to identify and investigate these acid-producing microorganisms from cellar mud to ensure stable caproic acid synthesis. In this study, a unique strain was isolated from the cellar mud, exhibiting a 98.12 % similarity in its 16 S rRNA sequence and an average nucleotide identity of 79.57 % with the reference specie, together with the DNA-DNA hybridization of 23.20 % similarity, confirming the distinct species boundaries. The strain was able to produce 1.22 ± 0.55 g/L caproic acid from glucose. Through genome sequencing, annotation, and bioinformatics analysis, the complete pathway of caproic acid synthesis from glucose was elucidated, and the catalytic mechanism of the key thiolase for caproic acid synthesis was investigated. These findings provide useful fundamental data for revealing the metabolic properties of caproic acid-producing bacteria found in cellar mud.

Abstract
A constructed microbial consortia-based strategy to enhance caproic acid production from one-stage mixed-fermentation of glucose was developed, which incubated with acidogens (Clostridium sensu stricto 1, 11 dominated) and chain elongators (including Clostridium sensu stricto 12, Sporanaerobacter, and Caproiciproducens) acclimated from anaerobic sludge. Significant product upgrading toward caproic acid (8.31 g‧L-1) and improved substrate degradation was achieved, which can be greatly attributed to the lactic acid platform. Whereas, a small amount of caproic acid was observed in the control incubating with acidogens, with an average concentration of 2.09 g‧L-1. The strategy accelerated the shape and cooperation of the specific microbial community dominated by Clostridium sensu stricto and Caproiciproducens, which thereby contributed to caproic acid production via the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway. Moreover, the tailored electrodialysis with bipolar membrane enabled progressive up-concentration and acidification, allowing selective separation of caproic acid as an immiscible product with a purity of 82.58 % from the mixture.

Abstract
Pit mud (PM), as an important source of microorganisms, is necessary for Chinese strong-flavor baijiu (CSFB) production. Although it has been revealed that the PM prokaryotic community diversities are influenced by its quality, product area, ages, etc., the characteristics and assembly process of the prokaryotic community in PMs across a pH gradient are still unclear. In this study, the regular changes of α- and β-diversities of the prokaryotic community across a pH gradient in PMs were revealed, which could be divided into "stable", "relatively stable", and "drastically changed" periods. A total of 27 phyla, 53 classes, and 381 genera were observed in all given samples, dominated by Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Lactobacillus, Caproiciproducens, Proteiniphilum, etc. Meanwhile, the complexity of the network structure of the prokaryotic microbial communities is significantly influenced by pH. The community assembly was jointly shaped by deterministic and stochastic processes, with stochastic process contributing more. This study was a specialized report on elucidating the characteristics and assembly of PM prokaryotic communities across a pH gradient, and revealed that the diversity and structure of PM prokaryotic communities could be predictable, to some degree, which could contribute to expanding our understanding of prokaryotic communities in PM.

Abstract
Pit mud (PM) is among the key factors determining the quality of Nongxiangxing baijiu, a Chinese liquor. Microorganisms present inside PM are crucial for the unique taste and flavor of this liquor. In this study, headspace solid-phase microextraction was used in combination with gas chromatography and high-throughput sequencing to determine the volatile compounds and microbial community structure of 10- and 40-year PM samples from different spaces. The basic physicochemical properties of the PM were also determined. LEfSe and RDA were used to systematically study the PM in different time spaces. The physicochemical properties and ester content of the 40-year PM were higher than those of the 10-year PM, but the spatial distribution of the two years PM samples exhibited no consistency, except in terms of pH, available phosphorus content, and ester content. In all samples, 29 phyla, 276 families, and 540 genera of bacteria, including four dominant phyla and 20 dominant genera, as well as eight phyla, 24 families, and 34 genera of archaea, including four dominant phyla and seven dominant genera, were identified. The LEfSe analysis yielded 18 differential bacteria and five differential archaea. According to the RDA, the physicochemical properties and ethyl caproate, ethyl octanoate, hexanoic acid, and octanoic acid positively correlated with the differential microorganisms of the 40-year PM, whereas negatively correlated with the differential microorganisms of the 10-year PM. Thus, we inferred that Caproiciproducens, norank_f__Caloramatoraceae, and Methanobrevibacter play a dominant and indispensable role in the PM. This study systematically unveils the differences that affect the quality of PM in different time spaces and offers a theoretical basis for improving the declining PM, promoting PM aging, maintaining cellars, and cultivating an artificial PM at a later stage.

Abstract
Areas of char or overcooking commonly appear in foods people consume. It has been reported that overcooked food is harmful to human health. However, little research exists on the effect of overcooking on digestible protein and starch content and gut microbial fermentation. This study aimed to reveal the connection between overcooking and the content of digestible protein and starch, as well as its impact on gut microbial fermentation. Digestible protein in the standard cooked ground beef patty was significantly higher than the overcooked samples (p = 0.009). Standard-cooked whole wheat bread also showed a significantly higher digestible protein content compared with overcooked (p = 0.009). A significant difference was also found in digestible starch content between standard cooked and overcooked bread samples (p = 0.02). Overcooking decreased acetate, propionate, iso-butyrate, iso-valerate and ammonia production by the gut microbiota during fermentation of the beef sample, and decreased propionate and ammonia production during fermentation of the bread sample (p < 0.05). Interestingly, overcooking enhanced butyrate production by the microbiota during fermentation of the bread sample (24 h of fermentation, p < 0.001; 48 h of fermentation, p = 0.02), while no significant difference was found between overcooked and standard cooked beef samples (24 h of fermentation, p = 0.15; 48 h of fermentation, p = 0.4). Overcooking resulted in reductions in many Pseudomonadota and favored several Bacillota, especially Ruminococcaceae and Oscillospiraceae, which contain butyrate producers. Overall, overcooking reduced digestible protein, digestible starch, and fermentation of proteins. Unexpectedly, overcooking induced several purportedly favorable effects on the gut microbiota due to the decreased protein fermentation, which, in future studies, should be weighed against the previous reports that overcooking is deleterious to human health.

Abstract
Efficient waste management is necessary to transition towards a more sustainable society. An emerging trend is to use mixed culture biotechnology to produce chemicals from organic waste. Insights into the metabolic interactions between community members and their growth characterization are needed to mediate knowledge-driven bioprocess development and optimization. Here, a granular sludge bioprocess for the production of caproic acid through sugar-based chain elongation metabolism was established. Lactic acid and chain-elongating bacteria were identified as the two main functional guilds in the granular community. The growth features of the main community representatives (isolate Limosilactobacillus musocae G03 for lactic acid bacteria and type strain Caproiciproducens lactatifermentans for chain-elongating bacteria) were characterized. The measured growth rates of lactic acid bacteria (0.051 ± 0.005 h-1) were two times higher than those of chain-elongating bacteria (0.026 ± 0.004 h-1), while the biomass yields of lactic acid bacteria (0.120 ± 0.005 g biomass/g glucose) were two times lower than that of chain-elongating bacteria (0.239 ± 0.007 g biomass/g glucose). This points towards differential growth strategies, with lactic acid bacteria resembling that of a r-strategist and chain-elongating bacteria resembling that of a K-strategist. Furthermore, the half-saturation constant of glucose for L. mucosae was determined to be 0.35 ± 0.05 g/L of glucose. A linear trend of caproic acid inhibition on the growth of L. mucosae was observed, and the growth inhibitory caproic acid concentration was predicted to be 13.6 ± 0.5 g/L, which is the highest reported so far. The pre-adjustment of L. mucosae to 4 g/L of caproic acid did not improve the overall resistance to it, but did restore the growth rates at low caproic acid concentrations (1-4 g/L) to the baseline values (i.e., growth rate at 0 g/L of caproic acid). High resistance to caproic acid enables lactic acid bacteria to persist and thrive in the systems intended for caproic acid production. Here, insights into the growth of two main functional guilds of sugar-based chain elongation systems are provided which allows for a better understanding of their interactions and promotes future bioprocess design and optimization.

Abstract
Fatty acids are considered as important compounds for the aroma and taste of Chinese liquor. Revealing the core microbiota related with fatty acid biosynthesis and how they are influenced are essential to control fatty acids in spontaneous Chinese liquor fermentation. Herein, we identified the core microbiota related with fatty acid biosynthesis based on their microbial abundance, abundance and expression level of genes related with fatty acid biosynthesis, using high-throughput amplicon sequencing, metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis, respectively. Acetilactobacillus, Kroppenstedtia, Saccharomyces, Paecilomyces and Pichia were identified as the core microbiota (the criteria for identifying core microbiota: average relative abundance ≥1 %, average abundance of related genes >400 fragments per kilobase of transcript per million fragments mapped [FPKM], and expression level of related genes >1000 FPKM) related with fatty acid biosynthesis. SourceTracker analysis showed that Daqu mainly provided Kroppenstedtia (34.01 %) and Acetilactobacillus (3.31 %). Ground mainly provided Pichia (47.47 %), Saccharomyces (16.17 %) and Paecilomyces (8.55 %). Structural equation model revealed that Daqu and environmental microbiota drove the core microbiota (P < 0.05), and the core microbiota drove the biosynthesis of fatty acids (P < 0.05). This work revealed the important role of Daqu and environmental microbiota in fatty acid biosynthesis in liquor fermentation. It would benefit controlling fatty acids in liquor fermentation, and improving the liquor quality.

Effect of Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans inoculation on the microbial succession and flavor formation of pit mud used in Chinese Baijiu fermentation. Food Res Int 2024; 175:113730.

Abstract
Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans is a major caproate-producing bacterium in high-quality pit mud and has an impact on the synthesis of fatty acids during Baijiu fermentation. To develop an effective method for cultivating high-quality pit mud, we explored the role of Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans inoculation. The inoculation resulted in a high level of Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans (29.16%) and fortified pit mud produced abundant fatty acids and ethyl esters in short-term usage. Rare microbes, such as Hazenella coriacea, promoted the production of fatty acids. After long-term usage, changes in physicochemical properties led to a decrease in caproate-producing bacterium, namely Clostridium and Caproicibacterium, and an increase in microbes with limited fatty acid biosynthesis capability, including Proteiniphilum, Fastidiosipila, and Caldicoprobacter. These alterations ultimately led to a decrease in fatty acids and ethyl esters. In summary, Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans inoculation exhibited positive outcomes in obtaining high-quality pit mud. However, the maintenance of functional microbes necessitates further investigation.

Abstract
Lactic acid is the primary inhibitor of the growth and ethanol production of yeasts in Baijiu fermentation. Certain amino acids have been found to be related to stress tolerance in yeasts. This study explored the effect of lactic acid stress on the ethanol-producing yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii and evaluated the ability of serine to increase the lactic acid tolerance of Z. bailii in vitro. Serine significantly improved Z. bailii viability by 16.5% and ethanol production by 226.6% under lactic acid stress. Under lactic acid stress, serine supplementation led to an increase of 41.9% in cell wall integrity, 31.9% in cell membrane integrity, 296.6% in intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and 18.4% in the mitochondrial membrane potential. Finally, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) indicated that serine supplementation maintained the cell shape and reduced cell leakage. This study revealed a novel lactic acid tolerance mechanism of core functional yeasts during Jiang-flavor Baijiu fermentation.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Baijiu is a typical example of how humans employ microorganisms to convert grains into new flavors. Mud cellars are used as the fermentation vessel for strong-flavor Baijiu (SFB) to complete the decomposition process of grains. The typical flavor of SFB is mainly attributed to the metabolites of the pit mud microbiome. China has a large number of SFB-producing regions. Previous research revealed the temporal profiles of the pit mud microbiome in different geographical regions. However, each single independent study rarely yields a thorough understanding of the pit mud ecosystem. Will the pit mud microbial communities in different production regions exhibit similar succession patterns and structures under the impact of the brewing environment? Hence, we conducted research in pit mud microbial biogeography to uncover the impact of specific environment on the microbial community over a long time scale.

Abstract
Complex microbiomes of pit mud play significant roles in imbuing flavors and qualities of Nongxiang Baijiu during fermentation. However, pit mud microbial enrichment and succession is a long process that is also accompanied by aging. Development of high-quality artificial pit mud becomes an urgent problem. In this study, a new medium based on space (TK) Daqu was used to effectively enrich the dominant microorganisms in pit mud. The results showed that Caproiciproducens was the most preponderance in the cultures unadded Daqu, whereas Clostridium sensu stricto 12 was the most preponderance, followed by Caproiciproducens in the enrichment cultures added TK Daqu. It is worth noting that TK Daqu balanced the relative abundance of Caproiciproducens and Clostridium sensu stricto 12 in 100-year pit mud culture (S100), which was more conducive to the increase of methanogens. PICRUSt2 prediction results showed that hydrogenotrophic methanogens could promote the synthesis of caproic acid by using the product H2 as the metabolic substrate and increased significantly in the pit mud enrichment cultures with TK Daqu. The increase of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) content in S100 contributed to the degradation of lactic acid and the increase of caproic acid. Adding TK Daqu enrichment cultures is more conducive to the enrichment and metabolic balance of pit mud microorganisms.

Abstract
Pit mud is an essential habitat for diverse anaerobes, however, how pit mud of Jiangxiangxing Baijiu contributes to flavour is still unclear. The correlation between pit mud anaerobes and flavour compounds formation was investigated by analyzing flavour compounds and prokaryotic community of pit mud as well as fermented grains. Then scaling-down fermentation and culture-dependent approach were used to verify the effects of pit mud anaerobes on flavour compound formation. We found that short- and medium-chain fatty acids and alcohols, e.g., propionate, butyrate, caproate, 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-heptanol, were the vital flavour compounds produced by pit mud anaerobes. Pit mud anaerobes hardly migrated into fermented grains because of the low pH and low moisture of fermented grains. Therefore, the flavour compounds produced by pit mud anaerobes might enter fermented grains via volatilization. Moreover, enrichment culturing proved that raw soil was one of the sources for pit mud anaerobes, e.g., Clostridiumtyrobutyricum, Ruminococcaceae bacterium BL-4 and Caproicibacteriumamylolyticum. These rare short- and medium-chain fatty acid-producing anaerobes in raw soil can be enriched during Jiangxiangxing Baijiu fermentation. These findings clarified the role of pit mud during Jiangxiangxing Baijiu fermentation and revealed the key species involved in short- and medium-chain fatty acid-producing production.

Abstract
In the wine industry, grape processing is accompanied by waste generation, such as grape stalks, winery wastewater, and grape pomace (GP). GP can be used to produce value-added compounds such as medium-chain carboxylic acids (MCCA). This work aimed to determine the operational conditions (temperature, addition of nutrients, and initial waste concentration) to improve MCCA production using waste GP from the winery industry as a substrate. The electron donor (ethanol) and electron acceptor (acetate) were directly generated from the GP and consecutively used to produce MCCA. The treatment with high concentration, temperature, and nutrient addition promotes caproic acid's maximal yield and concentration (0.11 ± 0.02 g MCCA/g TS). Nutrients' presence and temperature significantly affected electron acceptor production. The addition of nutrients and 30 °C leads to elevated acetate production. However, at 37 °C, butyrate and MCCA were mainly produced without adding nutrients, and high ethanol consumption was observed. A higher metabolic diversification was observed at 37 °C than at 30 °C. Temperature and nutrient availability significantly affected the metabolic pathway and the type of carboxylic acid produced.

Abstract
Pit-wall mud (PWM) fosters bacterial communities involved in Baijiu production. PWM varies depending on pit age and height. In this study, we explored the bacterial communities in PWM and factors driving their evolution. The abundance and diversity of bacterial communities were low in new PWM (NPWM). In old PWM (OPWM), similar but diverse bacterial communities were observed at different heights. Lactobacillus was the predominant genus in NPWM, and Caproiciproducens, Aminobacterium, Hydrogenispora, Lactobacillus, Petrimonas, Syntrophomonas, and Sedimentibacter were the dominant genera in OPWM. A decrease was noted in the abundance of Lactobacillus, which indicated evolution. Among all the physicochemical properties, pH had the highest degree of interpretation with an R2 value of 0.965. pH also exerted the strongest effect on bacterial communities. The path coefficients of pH on bacterial community diversity and abundance were 0.886 and 0.810, respectively. Caproiciproducens and Clostridium sensu stricto 12 metabolized lactic acid, inhibiting the growth of Lactobacillus at a suitable pH, which led to the maturation of PWM. Our findings enrich the literature on the evolution of bacterial communities in PM and the maturation of PM.

Abstract
Multispecies communities participate in the fermentation of Chinese strong-flavor Baijiu (CSFB), and the metabolic activity of the dominant and keystone taxa is key to the flavor quality of the final product. However, their roles in metabolic function and assembly processes are still not fully understood. Here, we identified the variations in the metabolic profiles of dominant and keystone taxa and characterized their community assembly using 16S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene amplicon and metatranscriptome sequencing. We demonstrate that CSFB fermentations with distinct metabolic profiles display distinct microbial community compositions and microbial network complexities and stabilities. We then identified the dominant taxa (Limosilactobacillus fermentum, Kazachstania africana, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Pichia kudriavzevii) and the keystone ecological cluster (module 0, affiliated mainly with Thermoascus aurantiacus, Weissella confusa, and Aspergillus amstelodami) that cause changes in metabolic profiles. Moreover, we highlight that the alpha diversity of keystone taxa contributes to changes in metabolic profiles, whereas dominant taxa exert their influence on metabolic profiles by virtue of their relative abundance. Additionally, our results based on the normalized stochasticity ratio (NST) index and the neutral model revealed that stochastic and deterministic processes together shaped CSFB microbial community assemblies. Stochasticity and environmental selection structure the keystone and dominant taxa differently. This study provides new insights into understanding the relationships between microbial communities and their metabolic functions. IMPORTANCE From an ecological perspective, keystone taxa in microbial networks with high connectivity have crucial roles in community assembly and function. We used CSFB fermentation as a model system to study the ecological functions of dominant and keystone taxa at the metabolic level. We show that both dominant taxa (e.g., those taxa that have the highest relative abundances) and keystone taxa (e.g., those taxa with the most cooccurrences) affected the resulting flavor profiles. Moreover, our findings established that stochastic processes were dominant in shaping the communities of keystone taxa during CSFB fermentation. This result is striking as it suggests that although the controlled conditions in the fermentor can determine the dominant taxa, the uncontrolled rare keystone taxa in the microbial community can alter the resulting flavor profiles. This important insight is vital for the development of potential manipulation strategies to improve the quality of CSFB through the regulation of keystone species.

Abstract
A Gram-stain positive, moderately thermophilic, acidotolerant and aerotolerant anaerobic bacterium, designated JN-28 T, was isolated from the pit mud of Chinese strong-flavor liquor. Growth was observed at 25-50 °C and pH 5.5-8.0 in the presence of 0-25 g l-1 NaCl (optimally at 45 °C, pH 6.0, without NaCl). Strain JN-28 T was heterotrophic, requiring yeast extract for growth. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:0 and C14:0. The DNA G + C content of genomic DNA was 33.54 mol%. The strain was resistant to vancomycin (10 mg l-1). Genome analysis revealed the presence of genes involved in the response to mild acid stress and oxidative stress, and resistance to vancomycin. 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis showed that strain JN-28 T shares ≤ 89.3 % sequence similarity with its closest relatives Sporanaerobacter acetigenes DSM 13106 T and other members in the order Tissierellales. Based on phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, Acidilutibacter cellobiosedens gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed for the new genus and novel species with the type strain JN-28 T (=CCAM 418 T = JCM 39087 T). Further phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses suggested strain JN-28 T represents a novel family within the order Tissierellales, for which Acidilutibacteraceae fam. nov. is proposed. In addition, the family Tissierellaceae was reclassified, Sporanaerobacteraceae fam. nov. and Tepidimicrobiaceae fam. nov. were formally proposed. Emended description of the family Tissierellaceae is also provided.

Abstract
Caproate, an important medium-chain fatty acid, can only be synthesized by limited bacterial species by using ethanol, lactate, or certain saccharides. Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans is a promising caproate producer due to its glucose and lactate utilization capabilities. However, the global cellular responses of this bacterium to different carbon sources were not well understood. Here, C. lactatifermentans showed robust growth on glucose but more active caproate synthesis on lactate. Comparative transcriptome revealed that the genes involved in reverse β-oxidation for caproate synthesis and V-type ATPase-dependent ATP generation were upregulated under lactate condition, while several genes responsible for biomass synthesis were upregulated under glucose condition. Based on metabolic pathway reconstructions and bioenergetics analysis, the biomass accumulation on glucose condition may be supported by sufficient supplies of ATP and metabolite intermediates via glycolysis. In contrast, the ATP yield per glucose equivalent from lactate conversion into caproate was only 20% of that from glucose. Thus, the upregulation of the reverse β-oxidation genes may be essential for cell survival under lactate conditions. Furthermore, the remarkably decreased lactate utilization was observed after glucose acclimatization, indicating the negative modulation of lactate utilization by glucose metabolism. Based on the cotranscription of the lactate utilization repressor gene lldR with sugar-specific PTS genes and the opposite expression patterns of lldR and lactate utilization genes, a novel regulatory mechanism of glucose-repressed lactate utilization mediated via lldR was proposed. The results of this study suggested the molecular mechanism underlying differential physiologic and metabolic characteristics of C. lactatifermentans grown on glucose and lactate. IMPORTANCE Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans is a unique and robust caproate-producing bacterium in the family Oscillospiraceae due to its lactate utilization capability, whereas its close relatives such as Caproicibacterium amylolyticum, Caproiciproducens galactitolivorans, and Caproicibacter fermentans cannot utilize lactate but produce lactate as the main fermentation end product. Moreover, C. lactatifermentans can also utilize several saccharides such as glucose and maltose. Although the metabolic versatility of the bacterium makes it to be a promising industrial caproate producer, the cellular responses of C. lactatifermentans to different carbon sources were unknown. Here, the molecular mechanisms of biomass synthesis supported by glucose utilization and the cell survival supported by lactate utilization were revealed. A novel insight into the regulatory machinery in which glucose negatively regulates lactate utilization was proposed. This study provides a valuable basis to control and optimize caproate production, which will contribute to achieving a circular economy and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Electro-fermentation (EF) has been proposed as a method to improve the yield of medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA). In this study, MCFA production from Chinese liquor wastewater (yellow water) was investigated and corresponding composite electron donors (lactate and ethanol in yellow water) were investigated by different electrical stimulation modes. The caproate yield under whole period electrical stimulation increased by 250.9% compared with open circuit. The oxidation-dominated and reduction-dominated periods of the fermentation process were divided, and the segmented electrical stimulation experiment showed the caproate yield under reduction-dominated EF system further increased by 288.5% compared with open circuit. The microbial diversity analysis demonstrated that Clostridium 12 might be enriched better by keeping open circuit during EDs consumption, meanwhile the bacteria with potential negative effects on CE were inhibited. The electrical stimulation mode of EF process was optimized and provided a new way to recycle organic wastewater.

Metabolite-Based Mutualistic Interaction between Two Novel Clostridial Species from Pit Mud Enhances Butyrate and Caproate Production. Appl Environ Microbiol 2022; 88:e0048422. [PMID: 35695571 PMCID: PMC9275218 DOI: 10.1128/aem.00484-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Pit mud microbial consortia play crucial roles in the formation of Chinese strong-flavor baijiu's key flavor-active compounds, especially butyric and caproic acids. Clostridia, one of the abundant bacterial groups in pit mud, were recognized as important butyric and caproic acid producers. Research on the interactions of the pit mud microbial community mainly depends on correlation analysis at present. Interaction between Clostridium and other microorganisms and its involvement in short/medium-chain fatty acid (S/MCFA) metabolism are still unclear. We previously found coculture of two clostridial strains isolated from pit mud, Clostridium fermenticellae JN500901 (C.901) and Novisyntrophococcus fermenticellae JN500902 (N.902), could enhance S/MCFA accumulation. Here, we investigated their underlying interaction mechanism through the combined analysis of phenotype, genome, and transcriptome. Compared to monocultures, coculture of C.901 and N.902 obviously promoted their growth, including shortening the growth lag phase and increasing biomass, and the accumulation of butyric acid and caproic acid. The slight effects of inoculation ratio and continuous passage on the growth and metabolism of coculture indicated the relative stability of their interaction. Transwell coculture and transcriptome analysis showed the interaction between C.901 and N.902 was accomplished by metabolite exchange, i.e., formic acid produced by C.901 activated the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway of N.902, thereby enhancing its production of acetic acid, which was further converted to butyric acid and caproic acid by C.901 through reverse β-oxidation. This work demonstrates the potential roles of mutually beneficial interspecies interactions in the accumulation of key flavor compounds in pit mud. IMPORTANCE Microbial interactions played crucial roles in influencing the assembly, stability, and function of the microbial community. The metabolites of pit mud microbiota are the key to flavor formation of Chinese strong-flavor baijiu. So far, researches on the interactions of the pit mud microbial community have been mainly based on the correlation analysis of sequencing data, and more work needs to be performed to unveil the complicated interaction patterns. Here, we identified a material exchange-based mutualistic interaction system involving two fatty acid-producing clostridial strains (Clostridium fermenticellae JN500901 and Novisyntrophococcus fermenticellae JN500902) isolated from pit mud and systematically elucidated their interaction mechanism for promoting the production of butyric acid and caproic acid, the key flavor-active compounds of baijiu. Our findings provide a new perspective for understanding the complicated interactions of pit mud microorganisms.

Abstract
A total of 296 strains of protease-producing bacteria were isolated and purified from medium-temperature Daqu produced by ZhangGong LaoJiu Wine Co. Ltd. After calculating the ratio of transparent ring diameter to colony diameter and measuring the protease activities, a strain of high-yield protease bacteria, called DW-7, was screened out with a protease activity of 99.54 U/mL. Through morphological observation, 16S rDNA sequence analysis, and physiological and biochemical tests, the isolated bacteria DW-7 was determined to be Bacillus velezensis. In addition, whole-genome sequencing (WGS), using PacBio and the Illumina platform, was performed. Gene annotation was then conducted using the Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Non-Redundant Protein Sequence Database (NR), and Gene Ontology (GO) databases. The results showed that the genome of DW-7 was 3,942,829 bp long with a GC content of 46.45%. A total of 3,662 protein-encoding genes were predicted, with a total length of 3,402,822 bp. Additionally, 2,283; 2,796; and 2,127 genes were annotated in the COG, KEGG, and GO databases, respectively. A total of 196 high-yield protease genes were mainly enriched in the metabolism of alanine, aspartic acid, glutamate, glycine, serine, and threonine, as well as ABC transporter and transporter pathways.

Abstract
Two recently reported bacterial strains that were identified as the dominant caproate-producing bacteria in pit clay, were further characterized to determine their phylogeny and taxonomy. The two strains, designated as LBM19010T and JNU-WLY1368, were short rod-shaped, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile and strictly anaerobic. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains LBM19010T and JNU-WLY1368 shared a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99.93 % and belonged to a recent proposed genus Caproicibacterium in the family Oscillospiraceae. The proposed type strain, LBM19010T, showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Caproicibacterium amylolyticum LBM18003T (96.34%), followed by Caproiciproducens galactitolivorans JCM 30532T (94.14 %). The pairwise average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values between strains LBM19010T and LBM18003T were 74.84 and 76.18 %, respectively. Growth of strain LBM19010T occurred at pH 4.5-7.5 (optimum, pH 5.0-5.5), 20-40 °C (optimum, 35 °C) and with 0-1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Strains LBM19010T and JNU-WLY1368 were both able to ferment several hexoses, disaccharides, starch and lactate but not pentoses. Caproate and butyrate were the major end-products from glucose. The predominant cellular fatty acids (>10 %) of strain LBM19010T were C16 : 0 (56.3 %), C14 : 0 DMA (19.5 %) and C14 : 0 (14.9 %). The identified polar lipids of strain LBM19010T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified phospholipids and nine unidentified glycolipids. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic evidence, strains LBM19010T and JNU-WLY1368 belong to a novel species of the genus Caproicibacterium, for which the name Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LBM19010T (=GDMCC 1.1627T=JCM 33782T).
