Abstract
Kluyveromyces marxianus yeasts represent a valuable industry alternative due to their biotechnological potential to produce aromatic compounds. 2-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethylacetate are significant aromatic compounds widely used in food and cosmetics due to their pleasant odor. Natural obtention of these compounds increases their value, and because of this, bioprocesses such as de novo synthesis has become of great significance. However, the relationship between aromatic compound production and yeast's genetic diversity has yet to be studied. In the present study, the analysis of the genetic diversity in K. marxianus isolated from the natural fermentation of Agave duranguensis for Mezcal elaboration is presented. The results of strains in a haploid and diploid state added to the direct relationship between the mating type locus MAT with metabolic characteristics are studied. Growth rate, assimilate carbohydrates (glucose, lactose, and chicory inulin), and the production of aromatic compounds such as ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol, 2-phenylethyl butyrate and phenylethyl propionate and the diversity in terms of the output of 2-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethylacetate by de novo synthesis were determinate, obtaining maximum concentrations of 51.30 and 60.39 mg/L by ITD0049 and ITD 0136 yeasts respectively.

Microbial community succession and volatile compounds changes during spontaneous fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon (Vitis vinifera L.) under rain-shelter cultivation. Food Chem X 2023; 17:100618. [PMID: 36974178 PMCID: PMC10039258 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.100618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Microbiota succession in spontaneous fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon cultivated under the rain-shelter was characterized, with open-field cultivation as the control. For both cultivation modes, Saccharomyces, Starmerella, and Mycosphearella were the principal fungi, and Tatumella, Gluconobacter, and Acinetobacter were the prevailing bacteria. Rain-shelter reduced the abundance of Hanseniaspora, Candida, Starmerella, Gluconobacter, and Lactococcus. During fermentation, fungal microbiota diversity in samples from the rain-shelter cultivation decreased more drastically than the control (p < 0.05). In terms of the correlation between microbiota and volatile compounds production, the abundance of Hanseniaspora uvarum, Candida apicola, Starmerella bacillaris, Gluconobacter oxydans, and Lactococcus lactis were positively correlated with the production of esters and higher alcohols. Instead of bacterial microbiota, fungal community succession exhibited a positive correlation with the final wine volatiles under the rain-shelter cultivation. These findings demonstrated rain-shelter cultivation influences the succession pattern of microbial communities and in turn impacts the wine aromas and flavors.

Abstract
Wine is a particularly complex beverage resulting from the combination of several factors, with yeasts being highlighted due to their fundamental role in its development. For many years, non-Saccharomyces yeasts were believed to be sources of spoilage and contamination, but this idea was challenged, and many of these yeasts are starting to be explored for their beneficial input to wine character. Among this group, Torulaspora delbrueckii is gaining relevance within the wine industry, owing to its low volatile acidity production, increased release of aromatic compounds and enhanced color intensity. In addition, this yeast was also attracting interest in other biotechnological areas, such as bread and beer fermentation. In this work, a set of 40 T. delbrueckii strains, of varied geographical and technological origins, was gathered in order to characterize the phenotypic behavior of this species, focusing on different parameters of biotechnological interest. The fermentative performance of the strains was also evaluated through individual fermentations in synthetic grape must with the isolates’ metabolic profile being assessed by HPLC. Data analysis revealed that T. delbrueckii growth is significantly affected by high temperature (37 °C) and ethanol concentrations (up to 18%), alongside 1.5 mM SO2, showing variable fermentative power and yields. Our computation models suggest that the technological origin of the strains seems to prevail over the geographical origin as regards the influence on yeast properties. The inter-strain variability and profile of the products through the fermentative processes reinforce the potential of T. delbrueckii from a biotechnological point of view.

Abstract
Abstract
Fructans are the main sugar in agave pine used by yeasts during mezcal fermentation processes, from which Candida apicola NRRL Y-50540 and Torulaspora delbrueckii NRRL Y-50541 were isolated. De novo transcriptome analysis was carried out to identify genes involved in the hydrolysis and assimilation of Agave fructans (AF). We identified a transcript annotated as SUC2, which is related to β-fructofuranosidase activity, and several differential expressed genes involved in the transcriptional regulation of SUC2 such as: MIG1, MTH1, SNF1, SNF5, REG1, SSN6, SIP1, SIP2, SIP5, GPR1, RAS2, and PKA. Some of these genes were specifically expressed in some of the yeasts according to their fructans assimilation metabolism. Different hexose transporters that could be related to the assimilation of fructose and glucose were found in both the transcriptomes. Our findings provide a better understanding of AF assimilation in these yeasts and provide resources for further metabolic engineering and biotechnology applications.

Abstract
Tequila and mezcal are both traditional Mexican liquors that are produced from cooked Agave spp. must fermentation and usually rely on spontaneous or pure Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain inoculation. In order to contribute to the rational selection of yeast starters for tequila and mezcal productions, we tested a collection of 25 yeasts originally isolated from mezcal musts, spanning 10 different yeast species. These strains were first characterized in a semi synthetic medium (labeled as M2, having 90 g/L fructose and 10 g/L glucose of initial hexoses) at 48 h of culture, observing a differential pattern in the consumption of sugars and productivity. Selected Saccharomyces strains left around 10 g/L of fructose and showed higher fermentation performance. However, some non-Saccharomyces strains, specifically from Torulospora (Td), Kluyveromyces (Km), and Zygosaccharomyces (Zb) genera, consumed almost all the sugar (i.e., Km1Y9 with <5 g/L) and had a high productivity of ethanol. In general, all Saccharomyces strains presented a high production of ethyl-butyrate, ethyl-decanoate, and ethyl-hexanoate with peaks of 10, 38, and 3 μg/L, respectively. In addition, some Kluyveromyces and Torulospora strains showed a high production of phenyl ethyl acetate (i.e., Km1D5 with up to 1400 μg/L); isoamyl acetate (i.e., Km1D5 and Td1AN2 with more than 300 μg/L), and hexyl acetate (i.e., Td1AN2 with 0.3 μg/L). Representative strains of the most productive genera (Saccharomyces, Torulospora, and Kluyveromyces) were selected to evaluate their fermentative performance and survival in a mixed culture on a medium based on Agave tequilana must, and their population kinetics was characterized using specific fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) probes in a qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis during fermentation. We observed that the mixture ratios of 0.1:1:1 or 1:1:1 (Saccharomyces:Kluyveromyces:Torulospora), maintained good fermentation productivities, with alcohol yields above 0.45 g/g, and allowed a high survival rate of the non-Saccharomyces strains during the fermentation process. Finally, mixed inoculum fermentations on A. tequilana must medium, including different Saccharomyces strains and the finally selected Torulospora and Kluyveromyces strains, showed the best production parameters in terms of ethanol, carbon dioxide, glycerol, and acetic acid values, as well as improved volatile metabolite profiles as compared to the pure cultures. All these data were used to propose a methodology of selection of strains to be used as a pure or mixed starter for tequila and mezcal fermentations, with high primary metabolite productivity and desired aromatic profile.

Abstract
Torulaspora delbrueckii has attracted interest in recent years, especially due to its biotechnological potential, arising from its flavor- and aroma-enhancing properties when used in wine, beer or bread dough fermentation, as well as from its remarkable resistance to osmotic and freezing stresses. In the present review, genomic, biochemical, and phenotypic features of T. delbrueckii are described, comparing them with other species, particularly with the biotechnologically well-established yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We conclude about the aspects that make this yeast a promising biotechnological model to be exploited in a wide range of industries, particularly in wine and bakery. A phylogenetic analysis was also performed, using the core proteome of T. delbrueckii, to compare the number of homologous proteins relative to the most closely related species, understanding the phylogenetic placement of this species with robust support. Lastly, the genetic tools available for T. delbrueckii improvement are discussed, focusing on adaptive laboratorial evolution and its potential.

Abstract
Non-conventional yeasts refer to a huge and still poorly explored group of species alternative to the well-known model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Among them, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and the sister species Zygosaccharomyces bailii are infamous for spoiling food and beverages even in presence of several food preservatives. On the other hand, their capability to cope with a wide range of process conditions makes these yeasts very attractive factories (the so-called "ZygoFactories") for bio-converting substrates poorly permissive for the growth of other species. In balsamic vinegar Z. rouxii is the main yeast responsible for converting highly concentrated sugars into ethanol, with a preference for fructose over glucose (a trait called fructophily). Z. rouxii has also attracted much attention for the ability to release important flavor compounds, such as fusel alcohols and the derivatives of 4-hydroxyfuranone, which markedly contribute to fragrant and smoky aroma in soy sauce. While Z. rouxii was successfully proposed in brewing for producing low ethanol beer, Z. bailii is promising for lactic acid and bioethanol production. Recently, several research efforts exploited omics tools to pinpoint the genetic bases of distinctive traits in "ZygoFactories", like fructophily, tolerance to high concentrations of sugars, lactic acid and salt. Here, I provided an overview of Zygosaccharomyces industrially relevant phenotypes and summarized the most recent findings in disclosing their genetic bases. I suggest that the increasing number of genomes available for Z. rouxii and other Zygosaccharomyces relatives, combined with recently developed genetic engineering toolkits, will boost the applications of these yeasts in biotechnology and applied microbiology.

Abstract
In this study, 29 strains of Kluyveromyces marxianus with peculiar genetic and phenotypic traits previously isolated from a fermented goat milk of Yaghnob valley were investigated for chromosome length polymorphism (CLP) by PFGE, adhesion properties and carbon usage by Biolog analysis. Obtained data showed that strains differed in terms of number and size of chromosome bands. The number of bands ranged from 5 to 7, suggesting a probable genome size from 1.4 to 2.6 Mb. Strains showed a certain level of cell surface hydrophobicity ranging from 32% to 77.7%. Strains were also tested for their ability to form a biofilm on polystyrene plates: planktonic cells ranged from 6.3 cfu/mL to 7.95 cfu/mL, while sessile from 7.11 cfu/mL to 8.6 cfu/mL. The strains able to adhere to polystyrene plates were also able to form a mature MAT. Biolog analysis revealed that almost all strains were able to use putrescine, malic acid, α-D lactose, phenylethylamine, β-methyl D-gucoside and xylose; 5 strains were able to grow on cellobiose and 3 were able to catabolise α-ketobutyric. The obtained data highlighted a number of interesting features underlying the peculiar capacities of these strains for industrial applications.

Abstract
Artisanal mezcal is produced by the natural fermentation of maguey juice, which frequently results in a process that becomes stuck or is sluggish. Using selected indigenous starter inoculums of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts is considered beneficial in overcoming these problems and thereby preserving the essence of the artisanal process. In this work, three hundred and four yeast isolates were recovered from 17 distilleries and then grouped by the ARDRA analysis, their restriction profiles were clustered in 15 groups. Four of them included 90% of all isolates, and these were identified using the sequence of the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit rDNA. Pichia kudriavzevii, Pichia manshurica, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Kluyveromyces marxianus were detected as predominant species. Both species belonging to the Pichia genus were detected in 88% of the distilleries, followed by S. cerevisiae (70%) and K. marxianus (50%). In order to evaluate the fermentative capacity, one strain of each species was assessed in a pure and mixed culture in two culture media, filtered maguey juice (MJ) and maguey juice including its bagasse (MJB). Findings demonstrated that non-Saccharomyces yeast presented better growth than that of S. cerevisiae. K. marxianus PA16 was more efficient for ethanol production than S. cerevisiae DI14. It produced 32 g/L of ethanol with a yield of 0.47 g/g and efficient of 90%. While, P. kudriavzevii produced more ethyl acetate (280 mg/L) than the others species. All fermentations were characterized by the presence of isobutyl and isoamyl alcohol. The presence of K. marxianus in a mixed culture, improved the ethanol production and volatile compounds increased using co-cultures.

Polymorphisms in the LAC12 gene explain lactose utilisation variability in Kluyveromyces marxianus strains. FEMS Yeast Res 2018; 17:3739724.

Abstract
Kluyveromyces marxianus is a safe yeast used in the food and biotechnology sectors. One of the important traits that sets it apart from the familiar yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is its capacity to grow using lactose as a carbon source. Like in its close relative, Kluyveromyces lactis, this requires lactose transport via a permease and intracellular hydrolysis of the disaccharide. Given the importance of the trait, it was intriguing that most, but not all, strains of K. marxianus are reported to consume lactose efficiently. In this study, primarily through heterologous expression in S. cerevisiae and K. marxianus, it was established that a single gene, LAC12, is responsible for lactose uptake in K. marxianus. Strains that failed to transport lactose showed variation in 13 amino acids in the Lac12p protein, rendering the protein non-functional for lactose transport. Genome analysis showed that the LAC12 gene is present in four copies in the subtelomeric regions of three different chromosomes but only the ancestral LAC12 gene encodes a functional lactose transporter. Other copies of LAC12 may be non-functional or have alternative substrates. The analysis raises some interesting questions regarding the evolution of sugar transporters in K. marxianus.

Abstract
Kluyveromyces marxianus is traditionally associated with fermented dairy products, but can also be isolated from diverse non-dairy environments. Because of thermotolerance, rapid growth and other traits, many different strains are being developed for food and industrial applications but there is, as yet, little understanding of the genetic diversity or population genetics of this species. K. marxianus shows a high level of phenotypic variation but the only phenotype that has been clearly linked to a genetic polymorphism is lactose utilisation, which is controlled by variation in the LAC12 gene. The genomes of several strains have been sequenced in recent years and, in this study, we sequenced a further nine strains from different origins. Analysis of the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in 14 strains was carried out to examine genome structure and genetic diversity. SNP diversity in K. marxianus is relatively high, with up to 3% DNA sequence divergence between alleles. It was found that the isolates include haploid, diploid, and triploid strains, as shown by both SNP analysis and flow cytometry. Diploids and triploids contain long genomic tracts showing loss of heterozygosity (LOH). All six isolates from dairy environments were diploid or triploid, whereas 6 out 7 isolates from non-dairy environment were haploid. This also correlated with the presence of functional LAC12 alleles only in dairy haplotypes. The diploids were hybrids between a non-dairy and a dairy haplotype, whereas triploids included three copies of a dairy haplotype.

Abstract
The yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus possesses advantageous traits like rapid growth, GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status and thermotolerance that make it very suitable for diverse biotechnological applications. Although physiological studies demonstrate wide phenotypic variation within the species, there is only limited information available on the genetic diversity of K. marxianus. The aim of this work was to develop a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) method for K. marxianus to improve strain classification and selection. Analysis of housekeeping genes in a number of sequenced strains led to the selection of five genes, IPP1, TFC1, GPH1, GSY2 and SGA1, with sufficient polymorphic sites to allow MLST analysis. These loci were sequenced in an additional 76 strains and used to develop the MLST. This revealed wide diversity in the species and separation of the culture collection and wild strains into multiple distinct clades. Two subsets of strains that shared sources of origin were subjected to MLST and split decomposition analysis. The latter revealed evidence of recombination, indicating that this yeast undergoes mating in the wild. A public access web-based portal was established to allow expansion of the database and application of MLST to additional K. marxianus strains. This will aid understanding of the genetic diversity of the yeast and facilitate biotechnological exploitation.

Abstract
After screening of over 300 yeast strains isolated from the mangrove ecosystems, it was found that Aureobasidium sp. P6 strain had the highest inulin-hydrolyzing activity. Under the optimal conditions, this yeast strain produced an inulin-hydrolyzing activity of 30.98 ± 0.8 U/ml after 108 h of a 10-l fermentation. After the purification, a molecular weight of the enzyme which had the inulin-hydrolyzing activity was estimated to be 47.6 kDa, and the purified enzyme could actively hydrolyze both sucrose and inulin and exhibit a transfructosylating activity at 30.0 % sucrose, converting sucrose into fructooligosaccharides (FOS), indicating that the purified enzyme was a β-D-fructofuranosidase. After the full length of a β-D-fructofuranosidase gene (accession number KU308553) was cloned from Aureobasidium sp. P6 strain, a protein deduced from the cloned gene contained the conserved sequences MNDPNGL, RDP, ECP, FS, and Q of a glycosidehydrolase GH32 family, respectively, but did not contain a conserved sequence SVEVF, and the amino acid sequence of the protein from Aureobasidium sp. P6 strain had a high similarity to that of the β-fructofuranosidase from any other fungal strains. After deletion of the β-D-fructofuranosidase gene, the disruptant still had low inulin hydrolyzing and invertase activities and a trace amount of the transfructosylating activity, indicating that the gene encoding an inulinase may exist in the Aureobasidium sp. P6 strain.

Abstract
Plant biomass from different species is heterogeneous, and this diversity in composition can be mined to identify materials of value to fuel and chemical industries. Agave produces high yields of energy-rich biomass, and the sugar-rich stem tissue has traditionally been used to make alcoholic beverages. Here, the compositions of Agave americana and Agave tequilana leaves are determined, particularly in the context of bioethanol production. Agave leaf cell wall polysaccharide content was characterized by linkage analysis, non-cellulosic polysaccharides such as pectins were observed by immuno-microscopy, and leaf juice composition was determined by liquid chromatography. Agave leaves are fruit-like--rich in moisture, soluble sugars and pectin. The dry leaf fiber was composed of crystalline cellulose (47-50% w/w) and non-cellulosic polysaccharides (16-22% w/w), and whole leaves were low in lignin (9-13% w/w). Of the dry mass of whole Agave leaves, 85-95% consisted of soluble sugars, cellulose, non-cellulosic polysaccharides, lignin, acetate, protein and minerals. Juice pressed from the Agave leaves accounted for 69% of the fresh weight and was rich in glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis of the fructan oligosaccharides doubled the amount of fermentable fructose in A. tequilana leaf juice samples and the concentration of fermentable hexose sugars was 41-48 g/L. In agricultural production systems such as the tequila making, Agave leaves are discarded as waste. Theoretically, up to 4000 L/ha/yr of bioethanol could be produced from juice extracted from waste Agave leaves. Using standard Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains to ferment Agave juice, we observed ethanol yields that were 66% of the theoretical yields. These data indicate that Agave could rival currently used bioethanol feedstocks, particularly if the fermentation organisms and conditions were adapted to suit Agave leaf composition.

Abstract
In this study, in order to directly and efficiently convert inulin into pullulan, the INU1 gene from Kluyveromyces maximum KM was integrated into the genomic DNA and actively expressed in the high pullulan producer Aureobasidium melanogenum P16 isolated from the mangrove ecosystem. After the ability to produce pullulan from inulin by different transformants was examined, it was found that the recombinant strain EI36, one of the transformants, produced 40.92 U/ml of inulinase activity while its wild-type strain P16 only yielded 7.57 U/ml of inulinase activity. Most (99.27 %) of the inulinase produced by the recombinant strain EI36 was secreted into the culture. During the 10-l fermentation, 70.57 ± 1.3 g/l of pullulan in the fermented medium was attained from inulin (138.0 g/l) within 108 h, high inulinase activity (42.03 U/ml) was produced within 60 h, the added inulin was actively hydrolyzed by the secreted inulinase, and most of the reducing sugars were used by the recombinant strain EI36. This confirmed that the genetically engineered yeast of A. melanogenum strain P16 was suitable for direct pullulan production from inulin.

Abstract
Nineteen fungi and seven yeast strains were isolated from sugarcane bagasse piles
from an alcohol plant located at Brazilian Cerrado and identified up to species level
on the basis of the gene sequencing of 5.8S-ITS and 26S ribosomal DNA regions. Four
species were identified: Kluyveromyces marxianus,
Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus sydowii and Aspergillus
fumigatus, and the isolates were screened for the production of key
enzymes in the saccharification of lignocellulosic material. Among them, three
strains were selected as good producers of hemicellulolitic enzymes: A. niger
(SBCM3), A. sydowii (SBCM7) and A. fumigatus
(SBC4). The best β-xylosidase producer was A. niger
SBCM3 strain. This crude enzyme presented optimal activity at pH 3.5 and 55 °C (141
U/g). For β-glucosidase and xylanase the best producer was A.
fumigatus SBC4 strain, whose enzymes presented maximum activity at 60 °C
and pH 3.5 (54 U/g) and 4.0 (573 U/g), respectively. All these crude enzymes
presented stability around pH 3.0–8.0 and up to 60 °C, which can be very useful in
industrial processes that work at high temperatures and low pHs. These enzymes also
exhibited moderate tolerance to ethanol and the sugars glucose and xylose. These
similar characteristics among these fungal crude enzymes suggest that they can be
used synergistically in cocktails in future studies of biomass conversion with
potential application in several biotechnological sectors.

Abstract
Agave tequilana fructans (ATF) constitute a substrate for bioethanol and tequila industries. As Kluyveromyces marxianus produces specific fructanases for ATF hydrolysis, as well as ethanol, it can perform simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. In this work, fifteen K. marxianus yeasts were evaluated to develop inoculums with fructanase activity on ATF. These inoculums were added to an ATF medium for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. All the yeasts, showed exo-fructanhydrolase activity with different substrate specificities. The yeast with highest fructanase activity in the inoculums showed the lowest ethanol production level (20 g/l). Five K. marxianus strains were the most suitable for the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of ATF. The volatile compounds composition was evaluated at the end of fermentation, and a high diversity was observed between yeasts, nevertheless all of them produced high levels of isobutyl alcohol. The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of ATF with K. marxianus strains has potential for industrial application.

Purification, kinetic characterization and properties of a novel thermo-tolerant extracellular protease from Kluyveromyces marxianus IFO 0288 with potential biotechnological interest.

Abstract
A novel extracellular hydrolase of ∼45kDa molecular mass was purified from Kluyveromyces marxianus IFO 0288 cultures and characterized as serine protease. The K(m)-value of protease (designated protease-KM-IFO-0288-A), which was found active in media containing elevated [NaCl] but lacking EDTAK(2), decreased with increasing [Ca(2+)]. The protease maintained considerable activity at the range of 10-60°C and pH 6.00-10.25, with optimum k(cat)/K(m)-value at 35.5°C and pH 7.75. It was strongly affected by specific irreversible inhibitors of serine proteases while was unaffected by inhibitors of cysteine proteases. Significant rate constants, activation energies, and proton inventories were estimated from the profiles of Michaelis-Menten parameters, versus pH, temperature and deuterium atom fraction, in the hydrolysis of Suc-AAPF-pNA showing that protease-KM-IFO-0288-A performs catalysis via a charge-relay system. The properties of protease-KM-IFO-0288-A suggest that K. marxianus represents a valuable source of extracellular protease of biotechnological interest which, given its GRAS status, could find several important applications.
