Abstract
Kombucha is a beverage obtained from fermentation of Camellia sinensis tea using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). This association of bacteria and yeasts can be an interesting source of microorganisms for developing fermented beverages, including beer. The objective of this study was to evaluate kombucha SCOBY and commercial brewing yeast as a starter culture for the elaboration of beer. Three assays were performed to develop the beverage (C = control, KL = kombucha + yeast, K = kombucha). The pH, density, carbohydrates, organic acids and ethanol were evaluated during fermentation. Microbial counts (yeasts and mesophilic bacteria) and volatile compounds were recorded at the initial and final fermentation times. The content of total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, color and bitterness (IBU) of the beers were determined. The results showed that kombucha-fermented wort produces a beer with differentiated characteristics. Increased lactic acid (0.73 g/L) and low alcohol content (1.3%) were observed in the K assay. Further, desired volatile compounds, such as ethyl octanoate, phenethyl acetate and 2-phenylethanol, were also found in this beer. The combination of kombucha and commercial yeast for beer production showed carbohydrate consumption and contents of organic acids similar to those of control beer, producing beers with an alcohol content of 5.9%. From the results, it was possible to observe a tendency for the content of total phenolic compounds (37.57, 33.00 and 31.64 mg/100 mL for K, KY and C assays, respectively) to increase when the wort was inoculated with kombucha. There was no difference in the antioxidant activity of the produced beers. All produced beers showed a yellowish color and a bitterness value (IBU) of 27%. The present study showed that adding kombucha as a starter culture produced beer with differentiated properties, such as high antioxidant activity, low alcohol content and sour characteristics.

How Microbiome Composition Correlates with Biochemical Changes during Sauerkraut Fermentation: a Focus on Neglected Bacterial Players and Functionalities. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0016822.

Abstract
This study provided a new perspective on the bacterial community succession during sauerkraut fermentation, and on resulting metabolic functions. While culture-dependent methods confirmed the key role of the well-known core microbiome species, metagenomic approach (shotgun) revealed Secundilactobacillus malefermentans as a species of the core microbiome, especially during the last weeks of fermentation. Although the potentiality of S. malefermentans has not yet fully explored, it held core functional genes usually attributed to others lactic acid bacteria driving sauerkraut fermentation. Based on our results it is arguable that S. malefermentans might have a key a role during sauerkraut fermentation carried out at low temperature. Under our experimental conditions, the profile of phenolic compounds changed throughout sauerkraut fermentation. The amount of free phenolics, including free phenolic acids, increased at the beginning of the fermentation, whereas the conversion of phenolic acids into microbial derivatives was consistent during the last part of the sauerkraut fermentation. We pioneered correlating changes in the phenolics profile to changes in the microbiome, although the framework presented is still fragmentary. Annotated genes linked to the phenolic compounds metabolism (VprA and padA) were found in many core species during the whole process. A high metabolic potential for phenolics bioconversion emerged for lactobacilli and Pediococcus spp. through correlation analysis between microbiome composition and phenolics profile. IMPORTANCE Our study was not limited to describe the succession pattern of the microbial community during sauerkraut fermentation, but also revealed how some neglected bacterial players belong to the core species during sauerkrauts processing, especially at low temperature. Such species might have a role as potential starters to optimize the fermentation processes and to obtain sauerkrauts with improved and standardized nutritional and sensory features. Furthermore, our correlations between microbiome composition and phenolics profile might also represent new references for sauerkraut biotechnology, aiming to identify new metabolic drivers of potential sauerkraut functionalities. Finally, sauerkraut ecosystem is a tractable model, although with high level of complexity, and resultant ecological information might be extended to other plant ecosystems.

Abstract
Human-associated microorganisms are ideal models to study the impact of environmental changes on species evolution and adaptation because of their small genome, short generation time, and their colonization of contrasting and ever-changing ecological niches. The yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a good example of organism facing anthropogenic-driven selective pressures. It is associated with fermentation processes in which it can be considered either as a spoiler (e.g. winemaking, bioethanol production) or as a beneficial microorganism (e.g. production of specific beers, kombucha). Besides its industrial interests, noteworthy parallels and dichotomies with Saccharomyces cerevisiae propelled B. bruxellensis as a valuable complementary yeast model. In this review, we emphasize that the broad genetic and phenotypic diversity of this species is only beginning to be uncovered. Population genomic studies have revealed the co-existence of auto- and allotriploidization events with different evolutionary outcomes. The different diploid, autotriploid and allotriploid subpopulations are associated with specific fermented processes, suggesting independent adaptation events to anthropized environments. Phenotypically, B. bruxellensis is renowned for its ability to metabolize a wide variety of carbon and nitrogen sources, which may explain its ability to colonize already fermented environments showing low-nutrient contents. Several traits of interest could be related to adaptation to human activities (e.g. nitrate metabolization in bioethanol production, resistance to sulphite treatments in winemaking). However, phenotypic traits are insufficiently studied in view of the great genomic diversity of the species. Future work will have to take into account strains of varied substrates, geographical origins as well as displaying different ploidy levels to improve our understanding of an anthropized yeast's phenotypic landscape.

Abstract
Since the industrial revolution, the rapid growth and development of global industries have depended largely upon the utilization of coal-derived chemicals, and more recently, the utilization of petroleum-based chemicals. These developments have followed a linear economy model (produce, consume, and dispose). As the world is facing a serious threat from the climate change crisis, a more sustainable solution for manufacturing, i.e., circular economy in which waste from the same or different industries can be used as feedstocks or resources for production offers an attractive industrial/business model. In nature, biological systems, i.e., microorganisms routinely use their enzymes and metabolic pathways to convert organic and inorganic wastes to synthesize biochemicals and energy required for their growth. Therefore, an understanding of how selected enzymes convert biobased feedstocks into special (bio)chemicals serves as an important basis from which to build on for applications in biocatalysis, metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology to enable biobased processes that are greener and cleaner for the environment. This review article highlights the current state of knowledge regarding the enzymatic reactions used in converting biobased wastes (lignocellulosic biomass, sugar, phenolic acid, triglyceride, fatty acid, and glycerol) and greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) into value-added products and discusses the current progress made in their metabolic engineering. The commercial aspects and life cycle assessment of products from enzymatic and metabolic engineering are also discussed. Continued development in the field of metabolic engineering would offer diversified solutions which are sustainable and renewable for manufacturing valuable chemicals.

Technological and Environmental Features Determine the Uniqueness of the Lambic Beer Microbiota and Production Process. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:e0061221.

Abstract
Lambic beers are beers produced through spontaneous fermentation and maturation in wooden barrels. The production process of lambic beers differs from the production processes of lagers and ales in process technology, environmental parameters, and the use of specific raw materials. Moreover, every lambic beer production process is unique in terms of microbiology and flavor formation because of its dependence on the spontaneous inoculation of microorganisms coming from the environmental air (contacting the open coolship and other brewery equipment) and the inner surfaces of the barrels. Several factors influence the inter- and intraspecies microbial successions during lambic beer wort fermentation and maturation and determine the final quality of the end products. The possibility to manually acidify the wort, the presence of species-specific metabolic traits, the environmental temperature, the co-occurrence of lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria, as well as yeasts, and the quality of the wooden barrels all determine the progress and outcome of the lambic beer production process. Further alterations in quality and flavor of lambic beers can be achieved by blending practices and additional bottle refermentations. This results in a vast array of lambic-derived beer products (e.g., gueuze) with complex taste and aroma profiles and specific characteristics, which separate them from most other commercially available beers.

Abstract
This study investigated the fortification of a carob-based kefir-like beverage (KLB) with whey permeate (WP) and oat flour (OF). The response surface method was used to show the effect of WP and OF concentrations on lactic acid bacteria and yeast cell densities, pH, total titratable acidity (TTA), total phenolics content (TCP), DPPH radical scavenging activity, and overall acceptability (OA) in KLB. The statistical design provided thirteen formulations where OF concentration varied from 3% to 5% and WP from 10% to 15%. The enrichment of carob pods decoction with WP and OF had a positive effect on biomass production. Overall fermentation was shown to increase TPC of KLB. Furthermore, OF supplementation led to the higher levels of TPC and antiradical activity. WP negatively affected OA at linear and quadratic levels, whereas no effect of OF was observed at the linear level. The optimum point was found by using WP at 11.51% and OF at 4.77%. Optimized KLB resulted in an enrichment of bioavailable phenolics derivatives and highly digestible proteins.

Volatilome and Bioaccessible Phenolics Profiles in Lab-Scale Fermented Bee Pollen. Foods 2021; 10:foods10020286.

Abstract
Bee-collected pollen (BCP) is currently receiving increasing attention as a dietary supplement for humans. In order to increase the accessibility of nutrients for intestinal absorption, several biotechnological solutions have been proposed for BCP processing, with fermentation as one of the most attractive. The present study used an integrated metabolomic approach to investigate how the use of starter cultures may affect the volatilome and the profile of bioaccessible phenolics of fermented BCP. BCP fermented with selected microbial starters (Started-BCP) was compared to spontaneously fermented BCP (Unstarted-BCP) and to unprocessed raw BCP (Raw-BCP). Fermentation significantly increased the amount of volatile compounds (VOC) in both Unstarted- and Started-BCP, as well as modifying the relative proportions among the chemical groups. Volatile free fatty acids were the predominant VOC in Unstarted-BCP. Started-BCP was differentiated by the highest levels of esters and alcohols, although volatile free fatty acids were always prevailing. The profile of the VOC was dependent on the type of fermentation, which was attributable to the selected Apilactobacillus kunkeei and Hanseniaspora uvarum strains used as starters, or to the variety of yeasts and bacteria naturally associated to the BCP. Started-BCP and, to a lesser extent, Unstarted-BCP resulted in increased bioaccessible phenolics, which included microbial derivatives of phenolic acids metabolism.

Abstract
Lambic beer production processes are characterized by a temporal succession of well-adapted microbial species. Temporal metagenomic analysis of a Belgian, traditional, lambic beer production process, which was examined microbiologically and metabolomically before, confirmed that the microbial diversity is limited. Moreover, it allowed to link the consumption and production of certain compounds to specific microbial groups or species. Fermentation characteristics, such as the conversion of malic acid into lactic acid and acetoin production, were retrieved and could be attributed to specific microorganisms, namely Pediococcus damnosus and Acetobacter species, respectively. Traits previously ascribed to brewery-specific Dekkera bruxellensis strains were confirmed during the lambic beer production process examined multiphasically; in particular, the higher production of 4-ethylguaiacol compared to 4-ethylphenol was further shown by mass spectrometric analysis. Moreover, the absence of phenolic acid decarboxylase in Brettanomyces custersianus was shown culture-independently and could explain its late occurrence during the maturation phase. Furthermore, the potential of maltooligosaccharide degradation could be ascribed metagenomically to not only Brettanomyces species but also Saccharomyces kudriavzevii, possibly explaining their degradation early in the lambic beer production process. Also, acetic acid bacteria (AAB) seemed to be able to consume maltooligosaccharides via their conversion into trehalose. Furthermore, these AAB possessed esterase genes, potentially capable of forming ethyl acetate, which may contribute to the flavor of lambic beer. Improved knowledge on the reasons behind certain community dynamics and the role of the different microorganisms in terms of potential functionality could improve brewery practices to assure to produce more quality-stable end-products.

Abstract
Bacillus licheniformis strain TAB7 is a bacterium used as a commercial deodorizing agent for compost in Japan. In this work, its ability to biotransform the following monocyclic phenolic compounds was assessed: ferulate, vanillate, p-coumarate, caffeate, protocatechuate, syringate, vanillin, and cinnamate (a precursor for some phenolic compounds). These compounds are abundant in composting material and are reported to have allelopathic properties. They come from sources such as plant material decomposition or agro-industrial waste. Biotransformation assays were carried out in LB supplemented with 0.2 mg/mL of an individual phenolic compound and incubated for up to 15 days followed by extraction and HPLC analysis. The results showed that TAB7 could biotransform ferulate, caffeate, p-coumarate, vanillate, protocatechuate, and vanillin. It, however, had a poor ability to transform cinnamate and syringate. LC-MS/MS analysis showed that ferulate was transformed into 4-vinylguaiacol as the final product, while caffeate was transformed into 4-ethylcatechol. TAB7 genome analysis suggested that, while TAB7 may not mineralize phenolic compounds, it harbored genes possibly encoding phenolic acid decarboxylase, vanillate decarboxylase, and some protocatechuate degradation pathway enzymes, which are involved in the catabolism of phenolic compounds known to have negative allelopathy on some plants. The results thus suggested that TAB7 can reduce such phenolic compounds in compost.

Abstract
Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a yeast species found in many fermented matrices. A high level of genetic diversity prevails in this species and was recently connected with tolerance to sulfur dioxide, the main preservative used in wine. We therefore examine other phenotypes that may modulate the ability of the species to spoil wine, in a selection of representative strains. The species shows a fairly high homogeneity with respect to the carbohydrates that can support growth, but more diverse behaviors regarding tolerance to low pH or ethanol. Thought no clear link can be drawn with genotype, some strains appear more tolerant than the others, mainly in the AWRI1499 like genetic group. Volatile phenol production is ubiquitous within the species, independent from yeast growth profile and not affected by the nature of the growth substrate. The specific production. n rate of volatile phenol production raises in case of increased aeration. It is little affected by pH decrease until 3.0 or by ethanol concentration increase up to 12% vol, but it decreased in case of increased constraint (pH < 3.0, Ethanol ≥14% vol) or combination of constraints. All the strain studied have thus the ability to spoil wine but some outstanding dangerous strains can even spoil the wine with high level of constrainst.

Ethylphenols are strong odorants produced by microbial activity that are described as off flavors in several foods. Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacterial species able to produce ethylphenols by the reduction of vinylphenols during the metabolism of hydroxycinnamic acids. However, the reductase involved has not been yet uncovered. In this study, the involvement in vinylphenol reduction of a gene encoding a putative reductase (lp_3125) was confirmed by the absence of reduction activity in the Δlp_3125 knockout mutant. The protein encoded by lp_3125, VprA, was recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli VprA was assayed against vinylphenols (4-vinylphenol, 4-vinylcatechol, and 4-vinylguaiacol), and all were reduced to their corresponding ethylphenols (4-ethylphenol, 4-ethylcatechol, and 4-ethylguaiacol). PCR and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection methods revealed that the VprA reductase is not widely distributed among the lactic acid bacteria studied and that only the bacteria possessing the vprA gene were able to produce ethylphenol from vinylphenol. However, all the species belonging to the L. plantarum group were ethylphenol producers. The identification of the L. plantarum VprA protein involved in hydroxycinnamate degradation completes the route of degradation of these compounds in lactic acid bacteria.IMPORTANCE The presence of volatile phenols is considered a major organoleptic defect of several fermented alcoholic beverages. The biosynthesis of these compounds has been mainly associated with Brettanomyces/Dekkera yeasts. However, the potential importance of lactic acid bacteria in volatile phenol spoilage is emphasized by reports describing a faster ethylphenol production by these bacteria than by yeasts. The genetic identification of the bacterial vinylphenol reductase involved in volatile phenol production provides new insights into the role of lactic acid bacteria in the production of these off flavors. The development of a molecular method for the detection of ethylphenol-producing bacteria could be helpful to design strategies to reduce the bacterial production of vinylphenols in fermented foods.

Abstract
Dekkera/Brettanomyces bruxellensis, the main spoilage yeast in barrel-aged wine, metabolize hydroxycinnamic acids into off-flavors, namely ethylphenols. Recently, both the enzymes involved in this transformation, the cinnamate decarboxylase (DbCD) and the vinylphenol reductase (DbVPR), have been identified. To counteract microbial proliferation in wine, sulfur dioxide (SO2) is used commonly to stabilize the final product, but limiting its use is advised to preserve human health and boost sustainability in winemaking. In the present study, the influence of SO2 was investigated in relation with pH and ethanol factors on the expression of DbCD and DbVPR genes and volatile phenol production in D. bruxellensis CBS2499 strain under different model wines throughout a response surface methodology (RSM). In order to ensure an exact quantification of DbCD and DbVPR expression, an appropriate housekeeping gene was sought among DbPDC, DbALD, DbEF, DbACT, and DbTUB genes by GeNorm and Normfinder algorithms. The latter gene showed the highest expression stability and it was chosen as the reference housekeeping gene in qPCR assays. Even though SO2 could not be commented as main factor because of its statistical irrelevance on the response of DbCD gene, linear interactions with pH and ethanol concurred to define a significant effect (p < 0.05) on its expression. The DbCD gene was generally downregulated respect to a permissive growth condition (0 mg/L mol. SO2, pH 4.5 and 5% v/v ethanol); the combination of the factor levels that maximizes its expression (0.83-fold change) was calculated at 0.25 mg/L mol. SO2, pH 4.5 and 12.5% (v/v) ethanol. On the contrary, DbVPR expression was not influenced by main factors or by their interactions; however, its expression is maximized (1.80-fold change) at the same conditions calculated for DbCD gene. While no linear interaction between factors influenced the off-flavor synthesis, ethanol and pH produced a significant effect as individual factors. The obtained results can be useful to improve the SO2 management at the grape harvesting and during winemaking in order to minimize the D./B. bruxellensis spoilage.

Abstract
Wine production is an important commercial issue for the liquor industry. The global production was estimated at 275.7 million hectoliters in 2015. The loss of wine production due to Brettanomyces bruxellensis contamination is currently a problem. This yeast causes a "horse sweat" flavor in wine, which is an undesired organoleptic attribute. To date, 6 B. bruxellensis annotated genome sequences are available (LAMAP2480, AWRI1499, AWRI1608, AWRI1613, ST05.12/22, and CBS2499), and whole genome comparisons between strains are limited. In this article, we reassembled and reannotated the genome of B. bruxellensis LAMAP2480, obtaining a 27-Mb assembly with 5.5 kb of N50. In addition, the genome of B. bruxellensis LAMAP2480 was analyzed in the context of spoilage yeast and potential as a biotechnological tool. In addition, we carried out an exploratory transcriptomic analysis of this strain grown in synthetic wine. Several genes related to stress tolerance, micronutrient acquisition, ethanol production, and lignocellulose assimilation were found. In conclusion, the analysis of the genome of B. bruxellensis LAMAP2480 reaffirms the biotechnological potential of this strain. This research represents an interesting platform for the study of the spoilage yeast B. bruxellensis.

Abstract
Brettanomyces (Dekkera) bruxellensis is an ascomycetous yeast of major importance in the food, beverage and biofuel industry. It has been isolated from various man-made ecological niches that are typically characterized by harsh environmental conditions such as wine, beer, soft drink, etc. Recent comparative genomics studies revealed an immense intraspecific diversity, but it is still unclear whether this genetic diversity also leads to systematic differences in fermentation performance and (off-)flavor production, and to what extent strains have evolved to match their ecological niche. Here, we present an evaluation of the fermentation properties of eight genetically diverse B. bruxellensis strains originating from beer, wine and soft drinks. We show that sugar consumption and aroma production during fermentation are determined by both the yeast strain and composition of the medium. Furthermore, our results indicate a strong niche adaptation of B. bruxellensis, most clearly for wine strains. For example, only strains originally isolated from wine were able to thrive well and produce the typical Brettanomyces-related phenolic off-flavors 4-ethylguaiacol and 4-ethylphenol when inoculated in red wine. Sulfite tolerance was found as a key factor explaining the observed differences in fermentation performance and off-flavor production. Sequence analysis of genes related to phenolic off-flavor production, however, revealed only marginal differences between the isolates tested, especially at the amino acid level. Altogether, our study provides novel insights in the Brettanomyces metabolism of flavor production, and is highly relevant for both the wine and beer industry.

Abstract
Vinylphenol reductase of Dekkera bruxellensis, the characteristic enzyme liable for "Brett" sensory modification of wine, has been recently recognized to belong to the short chain dehydrogenases/reductases family. Indeed, a preliminary biochemical characterisation has conferred to the purified protein a dual significance acting as superoxide dismutase and as a NADH-dependent reductase. The present study aimed for providing a certain identification of the enzyme by cloning the VPR gene in S. cerevisiae, a species not producing ethyl phenols. Transformed clones of S. cerevisiae resulted capable of expressing a biologically active form of the heterologous protein, proving its role in the conversion of 4-vinyl guaiacol to 4-ethyl guaiacol. A VPR specific protein activity of 9 ± 0.6 mU/mg was found in crude extracts of S. cerevisiae recombinant strain. This result was confirmed in activity trials carried out with the protein purified from transformant cells of S. cerevisiae by a his-tag purification approach; in particular, VPR-enriched fractions showed a specific activity of 1.83 ± 0.03 U/mg at pH 6.0. Furthermore, in agreement with literature, the purified protein behaves like a SOD, with a calculated specific activity of approximatively 3.41 U/mg. The comparative genetic analysis of the partial VPR gene sequences from 17 different D. bruxellesis strains suggested that the observed polymorphism (2.3%) and the allelic heterozygosity state of the gene do not justify the well described strain-dependent character in producing volatile phenols of this species. Actually, no correlation exists between genotype membership of the analysed strains and their capability to release off-flavours. This work adds valuable knowledge to the study of D. bruxellensis wine spoilage and prepare the ground for interesting future industrial applications.

Abstract
Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a common red wine spoilage yeast. Yet, in addition to wine, it has been isolated from other ecological niches that are just as nutritionally deficient as wine. B. bruxellensis can therefore be regarded as a survivor, well adapted to colonise harsh environments not often inhabited by other yeasts. This review is focused on the nutritional requirements of B. bruxellensis and the relevance thereof for its adaptation to the different matrices within which it occurs. Furthermore, the environmental conditions necessary (e.g. aerobic or anaerobic conditions) for the assimilation of the carbon or nitrogenous sources are discussed in this review. From literature, several confusing inconsistencies, regarding nutritional sources necessary for B. bruxellensis survival, in these specialist ecological niches are evidenced. The main focus of this review is wine but other products and niches that B. bruxellensis inhabits namely beer, cider, fruit juices and bioethanol production plants are also considered. This review highlights the lack of knowledge regarding B. bruxellensis when considering its nutritional requirements in comparison to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, there is a large enough body of evidence showing that the nutritional needs of B. bruxellensis are meagre, explaining its ability to colonise harsh environments.

Abstract
Food and beverage deterioration by spoilage yeasts is a serious problem that causes substantial financial losses each year. Yeasts are able to grow under harsh environmental conditions in foods with low pH, low water activity, and high sugar and/or salt content. Some of them are extremely resistant to the traditional preservatives used in the food industry. The search for new methods and agents for prevention of spoilage by yeasts is ongoing, but most of these are still at laboratory scale. This minireview gives an overview of the latest research issues relating to spoilage by yeasts, with a focus on wine and other beverages, following the interest of the research groups. It seems that a better understanding of the mechanisms to combat food-related stresses, the characteristics leading to resistance, and rapid identification of strains of yeasts in foods are the tools that can help control spoilage yeasts.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cell suspensions of four Dekkera bruxellensis strains (CBS 2499, CBS 2797, CBS 4459 and CBS 4601) were subjected to heat treatment in deionized water at four different temperatures (55·0, 57·5, 60·0 and 62·5°C) to investigate their thermal resistance. The decimal reduction times at a specific temperature were calculated from the resulting inactivation curves: the D-values at 55·0°C ranged from 63 to 79·4 s, at 57·5°C from 39·6 to 46·1 s, at 60·0°C from 19·5 to 20·7 s, at 62·5°C from 10·2 to 13·7 s. The z-values were between 9·2 and 10·2°C, confirming that heat resistance is a strain-dependent character. A protocol for the sanitization of 225 l casks by immersion in hot water was set up and applied to contaminated 3-year-old barrels. The heat penetration through the staves was evaluated for each investigated temperature by positioning a thermal probe at 8 mm deep. A treatment at 60°C for an exposure time of 19 min allowed to eliminate the yeast populations up to a log count reduction of 8. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Brettanomyces/Dekkera bruxellensis is the main yeast involved in red wine spoilage that occurs during ageing in barrel, generating considerable economic losses. Current sanitization protocols, performed using different chemicals, are ineffective due to the porous nature of the wood. The thermal inactivation of D. bruxellensis cells by hot water treatment proves to be efficacious and easy to perform, provided that the holding time at the killing temperature takes into account the filling time of the vessel and the time for the heat penetration into the wood structure.
