    Biotin is an essential coenzyme that is bound to carboxylases and participates in fatty acid synthesis. The fact that sake yeast exhibit biotin prototrophy while almost all other Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains exhibit biotin auxotrophy, implies that biotin prototrophy is an important factor in sake brewing. In this study, we inserted a stop codon into the biotin biosynthetic BIO3 gene (cording for 7,8-diamino-pelargonic acid aminotransferase) of a haploid sake yeast strain using the marker-removable plasmid pAUR135 and investigated the fermentation profile of the resulting bio3 mutant. Ethanol production was not altered when the bio3 mutant was cultured in Yeast Malt (YM) medium containing 10% glucose at 15 °C and 30 °C. Interestingly, ethanol production was also not changed during the sake brewing process. On the other hand, the levels of organic acids in the bio3 mutant were altered after culturing in YM medium and during sake brewing. In addition, ethyl hexanoate and isoamyl acetate levels decreased in the bio3 mutant during sake brewing. Metabolome analysis revealed that the decreased levels of fatty acids in the bio3 mutant were attributed to the decreased levels of ethyl hexanoate. Further, the transcription level of genes related to the synthesis of ethyl hexanoate and isoamyl acetate were significantly reduced. The findings indicated that although the decrease in biotin biosynthesis did not affect ethanol production, it did affect the synthesis of components such as organic acids and aromatic compounds. Biotin biosynthesis ability is thus a key factor in sake brewing.

    In this study, a promising bacterial strain for the bio-production of 1,3-propandeiol was isolated as a contaminant from a pilot-scale ethanol-producing bioreactor that used glycerol as a substrate. The isolated strain was identified as Citrobacter braakii and named TB-96. As TB-96 showed a fast growth rate, had strong antibiotic resistance, and could assimilate glycerol to produce high concentrations of 1,3-propanediol, it was used for further investigation to promote the biorefining of waste glycerol generated from biodiesel fuel production. First, to increase the 1,3-propanediol productivity of TB-96, the whole genome was sequenced, and the metabolic pathways were investigated. Next, the synthesis pathways of the main by-products—lactate and formate—were disrupted to construct the strain TB-96-dLF. In fed-batch experiments, TB-96-dLF produced up to 60 g/L 1,3-propanediol using only corn steep liquor as a low-cost nitrogen source.

  • Elucidation of the enzyme involved in 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining activity and the relationship between TTC staining activity and fermentation profiles in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Reviewed

    2,3,5-Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining is a method to distinguish the mitochondrial activity of cells based on the color: colorless TTC turns red when under reducing conditions. Although the assay reflects the mitochondrial activity of cells, which enzyme(s) in the electron transport system contribute to TTC reduction has been unclear. TTC staining assays using gene disruptants related to the electron transport system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae revealed those disruptants related to electron transport from each electron donor to ubiquinone (red colonies) and disruptants that were related to ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase (white colonies). In addition, when the enzyme activities of ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase were measured using TTC as the electron acceptor, only ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase showed TTC reduction activity, and the activity was enhanced by potassium cyanide, an inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase. These results indicated that ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase is involved in TTC reduction in S. cerevisiae. The fermentation profiles of BY4741UΔcor1 and BY4741UΔcox4, which exhibited no TTC staining activity, were almost identical to that of the parental strain BY4741U. However, cell growth and ethanol and succinate production of the ura3-mutated strain BY4741, which also exhibited no TTC staining activity, was altered compared to those of BY4741U, indicating that the fermentation profile varies among strains that show no TTC staining activity. The relationship between uracil metabolism and TTC staining activity was also determined based on metabolome analysis.

    Ammonia gas-tolerant extremophilic bacteria capable of growing in atmospheres containing up to 4000 ppm of gaseous ammonia were isolated. These bacteria were capable of growing in nutrient broth containing high concentrations of ammonia water, with growth in medium augmented with 0.1–0.2% ammonia exceeding that in medium without ammonia. The minimal inhibitory concentration of ammonia in the medium was 0.5%. The isolated ammonia gas-tolerant bacterium was moderately alkaliphilic, with optimum growth was observed at pH 9. DNA sequence analysis of the 16SrRNA gene revealed that the isolated bacterium was Bacillus lentus. Furthermore, extremophilic bacteria cultured in a 1300 ppm ammonia gas atmosphere on agar medium containing no nitrogen sources were observed to use ammonia gas for growth. These bacteria were identified as Paenibacillus lentus and Bacillus altitudinis based on 16SrRNA gene sequence analysis. The deodorizing effect of ammonia odor by the isolated bacteria immobilized on sawdust was evaluated. The findings showed that forcing ammonia gas through a column containing B. altitudinis immobilized on sawdust reduced the concentration of ammonia gas by 30% compared to columns containing sawdust only. The isolated bacteria immobilized on wood sawdust lost the capacity deodorization after drying, but this function could be restored with increased moisture. The ammonia gas-tolerant extremophilic bacteria immobilized on sawdust show considerable potential for use in ameliorating malodors associated with outdoor heat-treated toilets.
