Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134538. [PMID: 39111462 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134538] [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: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Dihydro-β-ionone, a high-value compound with distinctive fragrance, is widely utilized in the flavor and fragrance industries. However, its low abundance in plant sources poses a significant challenge to its application through traditional extraction methods. Development of an enzyme cascade reaction with artificial design offers a promising alternative. Herein, a short-chain dehydrogenase NaSDR, was identified from Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM 12444, which exhibited a high activity in converting β-ionol to β-ionone. A novel biosynthesis route to produce dihydro-β-ionone from β-ionol was developed, by utilizing alcohol dehydrogenase NaSDR and enoate reductase AaDBR1. Under the optimized conditions (0.29 mg/mL NaSDR, 0.39 mg/mL AaDBR1, 1 mM NADP+ and 2.5 mM β-ionol at 40 °C for 2 h), a maximum yield (173.11 mg/L) of dihydro-β-ionone was achieved with a molar conversion rate of 35.6 %, which was 2.7-fold higher than that before optimization. Additionally, this cascade reaction achieved self-sufficient NADPH regeneration through the actions of NaSDR and AaDBR1. This study offered a fresh perspective for achieving a green and sustainable synthesis of dihydro-β-ionone and could inspire on another natural products biosynthesis.

Abstract
Consumer trends towards nutrient-rich foods are contributing to global increasing demand for tropical fruit. However, commercial cultivars in the breeding pipeline that are tailored to meet market demand are at risk of possessing reduced fruit flavour qualities. This stems from recurrent prioritised selection for superior agronomic traits and not fruit flavour, which may in turn reduce consumer satisfaction. There is realisation that fruit quality traits, inclusive of flavour, must be equally selected for; but currently, there are limited tools and resources available to select for fruit flavour traits, particularly in tropical fruit species. Although sugars, acids, and volatile organic compounds are known to define fruit flavour, the specific combinations of these, that result in defined consumer preferences, remain unknown for many tropical fruit species. To define and include fruit flavour preferences in selective breeding, it is vital to determine the metabolites that underpin them. Then, objective quantitative analysis may be implemented instead of solely relying on human sensory panels. This may lead to the development of selective genetic markers through integrated omics approaches that target biosynthetic pathways of flavour active compounds. In this review, we explore progress in the development of tools to be able to strategically define and select for consumer-preferred flavour profiles in the breeding of new cultivars of tropical fruit species.

Abstract
Dihydro-β-ionone is a common type of ionone used in the flavor and fragrance industries because of its characteristic scent. The production of flavors in microbial cell factories offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to accessing them, independent of extraction from natural sources. However, the native pathway of dihydro-β-ionone remains unclear, hindering heterologous biosynthesis in microbial hosts. Herein, we devised a microbial platform for de novo syntheses of dihydro-β-ionone from a simple carbon source with glycerol. The complete dihydro-β-ionone pathway was reconstructed in Escherichia coli with multiple metabolic engineering strategies to generate a strain capable of producing 8 mg/L of dihydro-β-ionone, although this was accompanied by a surplus precursor β-ionone in culture. To overcome this issue, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was identified as having a conversion rate for transforming β-ionone to dihydro-β-ionone that was higher than that of E. coli via whole-cell catalysis. Consequently, the titer of dihydro-β-ionone was increased using the E. coli-S. cerevisiae coculture to 27 mg/L. Our study offers an efficient platform for biobased dihydro-β-ionone production and extends coculture engineering to overproducing target molecules in extended metabolic pathways.

Abstract
This study is the first to explore the essential oil of Ononis angustissima Lam. subsp. filifolia Murb., a subspecies growing in the Algerian northeastern Sahara. The chemical composition was evaluated by GC/GC-EIMS. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using two methods. Thirty-four (91.6%) individual components were identified. The main constituents were linalool (12.6%), hexahydrofarnesylacetone (8.4%), β-eudesmol (6.6%), α-cadinol (6.4%) and T-cadinol (6.1%). The findings provide a chemical basis for understanding relationships between North African subspecies, supporting botanical and genetic classification. The oil exhibited moderate scavenging activity against DPPH radicals (IC50 = 102.30 µg/ml) and high activity in the β-carotene bleaching assay (91.346%). Antimicrobial tests revealed effectiveness against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and ATCC 43300), limited impact on Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922), and good inhibition against Aspergillus niger and Scedosporium apiospermum. A notable larvicidal activity was observed against Date Moth, particularly on L2 larvae.

Abstract
C13-apocarotenoids are naturally derived from the C9-C10 (C9'-C10') double-bond cleavage of carotenoids by carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs). As high-value flavors and fragrances in the food and cosmetic industries, the sustainable production of C13-apocarotenoids is emerging in microbial cell factories by the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1 (CCD1) subfamily. However, the commercialization of microbial-based C13-apocarotenoids is still limited by the poor performance of CCD1, which severely constrains its conversion efficiency from precursor carotenoids. This review focuses on the classification of CCDs and their cleavage modes for carotenoids to generate corresponding apocarotenoids. We then emphatically discuss the advances for C13-apocarotenoid biosynthesis in microbial cell factories with various strategies, including optimization of CCD1 expression, improvement of CCD1's catalytic activity and substrate specificity, strengthening of substrate channeling, and development of oleaginous microbial hosts, which have been verified to increase the conversion rate from carotenoids. Lastly, the current challenges and future directions will be discussed to enhance CCDs' application for C13-apocarotenoids biomanufacturing.

Abstract
Carotenoids are a vast group of natural pigments that come in a variety of colors ranging from red to orange. Apocarotenoids are derived from these carotenoids, which are hormones, pigments, retinoids, and volatiles employed in the textiles, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Due to the high commercial value and poor natural host abundance, they are significantly undersupplied. Microbes like Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli act as heterologous hosts for apocarotenoid production. This article briefly reviews categories of apocarotenoids, their biosynthetic pathway commencing from the MVA and MEP, its significance, the tool enzymes for apocarotenoid biosynthesis like CCDs, their biotechnological production in microbial factories, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Carotenoid-derived volatiles are important contributors to tea aroma quality. However, the profile of the carotenoid pathway and carotenoid-derived volatiles (CDVs) artificial regulation in oolong tea processing has yet to be investigated. In the present work, the content and varieties of carotenoid-derived volatiles, the genome-wide identification of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CsCCD) gene family, the expression level of CsCCD and other key genes in the carotenoid pathway, and the profile of carotenoid substances were analyzed by multi-omics and bioinformatics methods with innovative postharvest supplementary LED light during oolong tea processing. The results showed that during oolong tea processing, a total of 17 CDVs were identified. The content of β-ionone increased up to 26.07 times that of fresh leaves and its formation was significantly promoted with supplementary LED light from 0.54 μg/g to 0.83 μg/g in the third turning over treatment. A total of 11 CsCCD gene family members were identified and 119 light response cis-acting regulatory elements of CsCCD were found. However, the expression level of most genes in the carotenoid pathway including CsCCD were reduced due to mechanical stress. 'Huangdan' fresh tea leaves had a total of 1 430.46 μg/g 22 varieties of carotenoids, which mainly composed of lutein(78.10%), β-carotene(8.24%) and zeaxanthin(8.18%). With supplementary LED light, the content of antherxanthin and zeaxanthin in xanthophyll cycle was regulated and CDVs such as α-ionone, β-ionone, pseudoionone, damascenone, 6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-one, citral, geranyl acetate and α-farnesene were promoted significantly in different phases during oolong tea processing. Our results revealed the profile of the carotenoid metabolism pathway in oolong tea processing from the perspective of precursors, gene expression and products, and put forward an innovative way to improve CDVs by postharvest supplementary LED light.

Abstract
Carotenoid cleavage oxygenase (CCO) is an enzyme that can catalyze carotenoids to volatile aromatic substances and participate in the biosynthesis of two important phytohormones, i.e., abscisic acid (ABA) and strigolactone (SL). However, the genome-wide identification and analysis of the CCO gene family in the rare and endangered woody plant Liriodendron chinense has not been reported. Here, we performed a genome-wide analysis of the CCO gene family in the L. chinense genome and examined its expression pattern during different developmental processes and in response to various abiotic stresses. A total of 10 LcCCO genes were identified and divided into 6 subfamilies according to the phylogenetic analysis. Subcellular localization prediction showed that most of the LcCCO proteins were located in the cytoplasm. Gene replication analysis showed that segmental and tandem duplication contributed to the expansion of this gene family in the L. chinense genome. Cis-element prediction showed that cis-elements related to plant hormones, stress and light response were widely distributed in the promoter regions of LcCCO genes. Gene expression profile analysis showed that LcNCED3b was extensively involved in somatic embryogenesis, especially the somatic embryo maturation, as well as in response to heat and cold stress in leaves. Furthermore, qRT-PCR analysis showed that LcNCED3b obviously responded to drought stress in roots and leaves. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the LcCCO gene family and a potential gene target for the optimization of the somatic embryogenesis system and resistance breeding in the valuable forest tree L. chinense.

Abstract
The biotransformation of the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan originates a number of bioactive compounds. Yeasts are the most used microorganisms for the transformation of (L)-phenylalanine into the flavour phenylethanol. Here, we reported a study on the biotransformation of the proteogenic aminoacids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan by yeast strains belonging to Yarrowia genus. We found that the latter microorganisms, in high aerobic conditions, metabolise the aromatic amino acids (L)-phenylalanine and (L)-tyrosine with the almost exclusive formation of phenylacetic acid and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, respectively. Differently, the biotransformation of (L)-tryptophan with Y. lipolytica, gave anthranilic acid as the main product. As stated by the European and USA legislations concerning natural flavour production, phenylacetic acid obtained by microbial conversion of phenylalanine of natural origin can be commercialised as a natural flavour. Accordingly, our findings were exploited in a new process, based on the Yarrowia strains-mediated biotransformation of natural (L)-phenylalanine, that allows the large-scale preparation of the high-value, natural flavour, phenylacetic acid.

Abstract
With more than 80 000 compounds, terpenoids represent one of the largest classes of secondary metabolites naturally produced by various plants and other organisms. Owing to the tremendous structural diversity, they offer a wide range of properties relevant for biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications. In this context, heterologous terpenoid production in engineered microbial hosts represents an often cost-effective and eco-friendly way to make these valuable compounds industrially available. This review provides an overview of current strategies to employ and engineer oxygenic and anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria as alternative cell factories for sustainable terpenoid production. Besides terpenoid pathway engineering, the effects of different illumination strategies on terpenoid photoproduction are key elements in the latest studies.

The biochemical and molecular investigation of flower color and scent sheds lights on further genetic modification of ornamental traits in Clivia miniata. HORTICULTURE RESEARCH 2022; 9:uhac114.

Abstract
Clivia miniata is renowned for its evergreen and strap-like leaves, whereas its floral color and scent are lacking diversity. Here, anthocyanin, volatile terpene, and carotenoid metabolisms were integrally investigated in C. miniata flowers. The results showed that pelargonidins and lutein might cooperate to confer orange or yellow color to C. miniata flowers, but only a trace amount of (+)-limonene was detected. The expression levels of CmF3'H and CmDFR appeared to be responsible for the ratio of cyanidin and pelargonidin derivatives in C. miniata, and the low expression of CmF3'H was responsible for the lack of cyanidins in flowers. Moreover, the CmF3'H promoter could not be activated by CmMYBAs, suggesting that it was controlled by novel regulators. Only two CmTPSs were functional, with CmTPS2 responsible for (+)-limonene synthesis, contributing to the monotonous flower volatile terpenes of C. miniata. CmCCD1a and CmCCD1b were able to cleave carotenoids at the 5,6 (5',6'), and 9,10 (9',10') positions to generate volatile apocarotenoids, whereas the substrates found in low-quantities or specific subcellular localizations of CmCCD1s might constrain volatile apocarotenoid release. Consequently, activating F3'H and introducing novel F3'5'H or versatile TPS may be effective ways to modify the floral color and scent, respectively. Alternatively, modifying the carotenoid flux or CCD1 localization might affect floral color and scent simultaneously. Taking these results together, the present study provides a preliminary deciphering of the genetic constraints underlying flower color and scent development, and proposes possible schemes for further genetic modification of ornamental traits in C. miniata and other plants.

Abstract
Peach flesh colors and aromas impact greatly on consumer behaviors and these two traits are closely associated in white- and yellow-fleshed peaches. However, current understanding of their aromas is rather limited and confined to the concentration differences of some volatiles. Therefore, this study aims to compare the overall aromas of the white-fleshed peach ‘Hu Jing Mi Lu’ (HJML) and yellow-fleshed peach ‘Jin Yuan’ (JY), two fresh cultivars with intense aromas and industrial influence by applications such as HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis, odor activity value evaluations, and odor note analysis. The significant contributions of 26 odor-active compounds to their aromas were revealed. Among which, 15 compounds showed no concentration differences and contributed to the fruity, floral, sweet, etc., odors in both HJML and JY; (E)-2-nonenal, 1-pentanol, and styrene showed significantly higher concentrations in HJML and conveyed much stronger fusel-like and balsamic odors; likewise, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, octanal, nonanal, and 3,5-octadien-2-one showed significantly higher concentrations in JY and conveyed much stronger banana, citrus-like, and honey odors; besides, benzyl alcohol, 1-heptanol, 1-octen-3-ol, and 3-octanone with woody, earthy, mushroom, and lavender odors were exclusively detected in HJML. Overall, apart from the common and stronger specific odors in either the white- or yellow-fleshed peach cultivar, the white-fleshed peach was endowed with a unique aroma.

Characterization of a Novel Lutein Cleavage Dioxygenase, EhLCD, from Enterobacter hormaechei YT-3 for the Enzymatic Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-β-ionone from Lutein. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
3-Hydroxy-β-ionone, a flavor and fragrance compound with fruity violet-like characteristics, is widely applied in foodstuff and beverages, and is currently produced using synthetic chemistry. In this study, a novel lutein cleavage enzyme (EhLCD) was purified and characterized from Enterobacter hormaechei YT-3 to convert lutein to 3-hydroxy-β-ionone. Enzyme EhLCD was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Q-Sepharose, phenyl-Sepharose, and Superdex 200 chromatography. The molecular mass of purified EhLCD, obtained by SDS-PAGE, was approximately 50 kDa. The enzyme exhibited the highest activity toward lutein, followed by zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, and β-carotene, suggesting that EhLCD exhibited higher catalytic efficiency for carotenoid substrates bearing 3-hydroxy-ionone rings. Isotope-labeling experiments showed that EhLCD incorporated oxygen from O2 into 3-hydroxy-β-ionone and followed a dioxygenase reaction mechanism for different carotenoid substrates. These results indicated that EhLCD is the first characterized bacterial lutein cleavage dioxygenase. Active EhLCD was also confirmed to be a Fe2+-dependent protein with 1 molar equivalent of non-haem Fe2+. The purified enzyme displayed optimal activity at 45 °C and pH 8.0. The optimum concentrations of the substrate, enzyme, and Tween 40 for 3-hydroxy-β-ionone production were 60 μM lutein/L, 1.5 U/mL, and 2% (w/v), respectively. Under optimum conditions, EhLCD produced 3-hydroxy-β-ionone (637.2 mg/L) in 60 min with a conversion of 87.0% (w/w), indicating that this enzyme is a potential candidate for the enzymatic synthesis of 3-hydroxy-β-ionone in biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Chlorophylls and carotenoids are two families of antioxidants present in daily ingested foods, whose recognition as added-value ingredients runs in parallel with the increasing number of demonstrated functional properties. Both groups include a complex and vast number of compounds, and extraction and analysis methods evolved recently to a modern protocol. New methodologies are more potent, precise, and accurate, but their application requires a better understanding of the technical and biological context. Therefore, the present review compiles the basic knowledge and recent advances of the metabolomics of chlorophylls and carotenoids, including the interrelation with the primary metabolism. The study includes material preparation and extraction protocols, the instrumental techniques for the acquisition of spectroscopic and spectrometric properties, the workflows and software tools for data pre-processing and analysis, and the application of mass spectrometry to pigment metabolomics. In addition, the review encompasses a critical description of studies where metabolomics analyses of chlorophylls and carotenoids were developed as an approach to analyzing the effects of biotic and abiotic stressors on living organisms.

Oxidation of Terpenoids to Achieve High-Value Flavor and Fragrances—Questioning Microalgae Oxidative Capabilities in the Biotransformation of the Sesquiterpene Valencene and of Selected Natural Apocarotenoids.

Abstract
Natural flavor and fragrance market size is expected to grow steadily due to the rising consumer demand of natural ingredients. This market request is guided by the general opinion that the production of natural compounds leads to a reduction of pollution, with inherent advantages for the environment and people’s health. The biotransformation reactions have gained high relevance in the production of natural products. In this context, few pieces of research have described the role of microalgae in the oxidation of terpenoids. In this present study, we questioned the role of microalgal based oxidation in the synthesis of high-value flavors and fragrances. This study investigated the role of three different microalgae strains, Chlorella sp. (211.8b and 211.8p) and Chlorococcum sp. (JB3), in the oxidation of different terpenoid substrates: α-ionone, β-ionone, theaspirane and valencene. Unfortunately, the experimental data showed that the microalgal strains used are not responsible for the substrate oxidation. In fact, our experiments demonstrate that the transformation of the four starting compounds is a photochemical reaction that involves the oxygen as oxidant. Even though these findings cast a shadow on the use of these microorganisms for an industrial purpose, they open a new possible strategy to easily obtain nootkatone in a natural way by just using an aqueous medium, oxygen and light.

Abstract
This work reports the use of GC-QTOF-MS to obtain a deep characterization of terpenoid compounds recovered from olive leaves, which is one of the largest by-products generated by the olive oil industry. This work includes an innovative supercritical CO2 fractionation process based on the online coupling of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and dynamic adsorption/desorption for the selective enrichment of terpenoids in the different olive leaves extracts. The selectivity of different commercial adsorbents such as silica gel, zeolite, and aluminum oxide was evaluated toward the different terpene families present in olive leaves. Operating at 30 MPa and 60 °C, an adsorbent-assisted fractionation was carried out every 20 min for a total time of 120 min. For the first time, GC-QTOF-MS allowed the identification of 40 terpenoids in olive leaves. The GC-QTOF-MS results indicate that silica gel is a suitable adsorbent to partially retain polyunsaturated C10 and C15 terpenes. In addition, aluminum oxide increases C20 recoveries, whereas crystalline zeolites favor C30 terpenes recoveries. The different healthy properties that have been described for terpenoids makes the current SFE-GC-QTOF-MS process especially interesting and suitable for their revalorization.

Abstract
Due to their intrinsic physical properties, which includes being able to perform as volatile liquids at room and biological temperatures, fragrance ingredients/intermediates make ideal candidates for continuous-flow manufacturing. This review highlights the potential crossover between a multibillion dollar industry and the flourishing sub-field of flow chemistry evolving within the discipline of organic synthesis. This is illustrated through selected examples of industrially important transformations specific to the fragrances and flavours industry and by highlighting the advantages of conducting these transformations by using a flow approach. This review is designed to be a compendium of techniques and apparatus already published in the chemical and engineering literature which would constitute a known solution or inspiration for commonly encountered procedures in the manufacture of fragrance and flavour chemicals.

Biocatalytic Potential of Native Basidiomycetes from Colombia for Flavour/Aroma Production. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25184344.

Abstract
Aromas and flavours can be produced from fungi by either de novo synthesis or biotransformation processes. Herein, the biocatalytic potential of seven basidiomycete species from Colombia fungal strains isolated as endophytes or basidioma was evaluated. Ganoderma webenarium, Ganoderma chocoense, and Ganoderma stipitatum were the most potent strains capable of decolourizing β,β-carotene as evidence of their potential as biocatalysts for de novo aroma synthesis. Since a species’ biocatalytic potential cannot solely be determined via qualitative screening using β,β-carotene biotransformation processes, we focused on using α-pinene biotransformation with mycelium as a measure of catalytic potential. Here, two strains of Trametes elegans—namely, the endophytic (ET-06) and basidioma (EBB-046) strains—were screened. Herein, T. elegans is reported for the first time as a novel biocatalyst for the oxidation of α-pinene, with a product yield of 2.9 mg of cis-Verbenol per gram of dry weight mycelia used. The EBB-046 strain generated flavour compounds via the biotransformation of a Cape gooseberry medium and de novo synthesis in submerged cultures. Three aroma-producing compounds were identified via GC–MS—namely, methyl-3-methoxy-4H-pyran-4-one, hexahydro-3-(methylpropyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione, and hexahydro-3-(methylphenyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione.

Abstract
Apocarotenoids are among the most highly valued fragrance constituents, being also appreciated as synthetic building blocks. This work shows the ability of unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs, EC1.11.2.1) from several fungi, some of them being described recently, to catalyze the oxyfunctionalization of α- and β-ionones and α- and β-damascones. Enzymatic reactions yielded oxygenated products such as hydroxy, oxo, carboxy, and epoxy derivatives that are interesting compounds for the flavor and fragrance and pharmaceutical industries. Although variable regioselectivity was observed depending on the substrate and enzyme, oxygenation was preferentially produced at the allylic position in the ring, being especially evident in the reaction with α-ionone, forming 3-hydroxy-α-ionone and/or 3-oxo-α-ionone. Noteworthy were the reactions with damascones, in the course of which some UPOs oxygenated the terminal position of the side chain, forming oxygenated derivatives (i.e., the corresponding alcohol, aldehyde, and carboxylic acid) at C-10, which were predominant in the Agrocybe aegerita UPO reactions, and first reported here.

Abstract
The aroma profile is an important marker for wine quality. Various classes of compounds are responsible for the aroma of wine, and one such class is terpenoids. In the context of this work, a validated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the quantitation of terpenoids in red and white wine using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) was established. Calibrations were performed in the respective base wine using both sample preparation methods. The linearity, precision and accuracy evaluated for the respective matrices were excellent for both sample preparations. However, the HS-SPME approach was more sensitive and more accurate. For both sample preparations, the quantification limits were lower than the odor thresholds in wine. The terpenoid concentrations (µg/L) were evaluated for 13 white wines using both sample preparation methods. Importantly, the online HS-SPME approach was more sensitive than the offline SPE method. The major terpenoids identified in the white wines evaluated were linalool (0.2-63 µg/L), geraniol (nd-66 µg/L) and α-terpineol (nd-85 µg/L).

Abstract
Dihydrocoumarin is a natural product of great relevance for the flavour industry. In this work, we describe a study on the biotransformation of the toxic compound coumarin into natural dihydrocoumarin, recognized as safe for food aromatization. To this end, we screened a variety of yeasts and filamentous fungi, isolated from different sources, in order to evaluate their ability to reduce selectively the conjugated double bond of coumarin. Moreover, since coumarin induces cytotoxicity and therefore inhibits cell growth as well as the cell metabolic activity, we tested out different substrate concentrations. All strains were able to convert the substrate, although showing very different conversion rates and different sensitivity to the coumarin concentration. In particular, the yeasts Torulaspora delbrueckii, Kluyveromyces marxianus and the fungus Penicillium camemberti displayed the higher activity and selectivity in the substrate transformation. Among the latter strains, Kluyveromyces marxianus presented the best resistance to substrate toxicity, allowing the biotransformation process even with coumarin concentration up to 1.8 g/L.

Abstract
Here, we describe a general stereoselective synthesis of the marine furanosesquiterpenes structurally related to pallescensins 1–2. The stereoisomeric forms of the pallescensin 1, pallescensin 2, and dihydropallescensin 2 were obtained in high chemical and isomeric purity, whereas isomicrocionin-3 was synthesized for the first time. The sesquiterpene framework was built up by means of the coupling of the C10 cyclogeranyl moiety with the C5 3-(methylene)furan moiety. The key steps of our synthetic procedure are the stereoselective synthesis of four cyclogeraniol isomers, their conversion into the corresponding cyclogeranylsulfonylbenzene derivatives, their alkylation with 3-(chloromethyl)furan, and the final reductive cleavage of the phenylsulfonyl functional group to afford the whole sesquiterpene framework. The enantioselective synthesis of the α-, 3,4-dehydro-γ- and γ-cyclogeraniol isomers was performed using both a lipase-mediated resolution procedure and different regioselective chemical transformations.

Abstract
AbstractCytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) play crucial roles in the cell metabolism and provide an unsurpassed diversity of catalysed reactions. Here, we report the identification and biochemical characterization of two P450s from Arthrobacter sp., a Gram-positive organism known to degrade the opium alkaloid papaverine. Combining phylogenetic and genomic analysis suggested physiological roles for P450s in metabolism and revealed potential gene clusters with redox partners facilitating the reconstitution of the P450 activities in vitro. CYP1232F1 catalyses the para demethylation of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid to homovanillic acid while CYP1232A24 continues demethylation to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. Interestingly, the latter enzyme is also able to perform both demethylation steps with preference for the meta position. The crystal structure of CYP1232A24, which shares only 29% identity to previous published structures of P450s helped to rationalize the preferred demethylation specificity for the meta position and also the broader substrate specificity profile. In addition to the detailed characterization of the two P450s using their physiological redox partners, we report the construction of a highly active whole-cell Escherichia coli biocatalyst expressing CYP1232A24, which formed up to 1.77 g l−1 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. Our results revealed the P450s’ role in the metabolic pathway of papaverine enabling further investigation and application of these biocatalysts.

Fungi-Mediated Biotransformation of the Isomeric Forms of the Apocarotenoids Ionone, Damascone and Theaspirane. Molecules 2018; 24:molecules24010019. [PMID: 30577583 PMCID: PMC6337586 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24010019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2018] [Revised: 12/17/2018] [Accepted: 12/20/2018] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, we describe a study on the biotransformation of seven natural occurring apocarotenoids by means of eleven selected fungal species. The substrates, namely ionone (α-, β- and γ-isomers), 3,4-dehydroionone, damascone (α- and β-isomers) and theaspirane are relevant flavour and fragrances components. We found that most of the investigated biotransformation reactions afforded oxidized products such as hydroxy- keto- or epoxy-derivatives. On the contrary, the reduction of the keto groups or the reduction of the double bond functional groups were observed only for few substrates, where the reduced products are however formed in minor amount. When starting apocarotenoids are isomers of the same chemical compound (e.g., ionone isomers) their biotransformation can give products very different from each other, depending both on the starting substrate and on the fungal species used. Since the majority of the starting apocarotenoids are often available in natural form and the described products are natural compounds, identified in flavours or fragrances, our biotransformation procedures can be regarded as prospective processes for the preparation of high value olfactory active compounds.

Abstract
Apocarotenoids are widely distributed among living organisms (bacteria, fungi, algae, plants and even animals) and have been associated with several signaling functions. These compounds are generated by the activity of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs), whose diversity greatly contributes to the large number of apocarotenoids that have been described so far. It is nevertheless expected that a considerable diversity of these molecules is yet to be discovered. In this work, we describe the isolation and structural elucidation of the apocarotenoid 4-oxo-β-apo-13-carotenone from the cultured freshwater cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica PCC 7122, corresponding to the first report of this compound from natural sources.

Abstract
Apocarotenoids are natural compounds derived from the oxidative cleavage of carotenoids. Particularly, C13-apocarotenoids are volatile compounds that contribute to the aromas of different flowers and fruits and are highly valued by the Flavor and Fragrance industry. So far, the chemical synthesis of these terpenoids has dominated the industry. Nonetheless, the increasing consumer demand for more natural and sustainable processes raises an interesting opportunity for bio-production alternatives. In this regard, enzymatic biocatalysis and metabolically engineered microorganisms emerge as attractive biotechnological options. The present review summarizes promising bioengineering approaches with regard to chemical production methods for the synthesis of two families of C13-apocarotenoids: ionones/dihydroionones and damascones/damascenone. We discuss each method and its applicability, with a thorough comparative analysis for ionones, focusing on the production process, regulatory aspects, and sustainability.
