The EHL1/2/3 genes were identified by whole-genome sequencing of Kyokai No. 7 (K7), which is a well-known representative Japanese sake yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The genes are present in K7, but not in laboratory strain S288C. Although the genes were presumed to encode epoxide hydrolase based on homology analysis, their effect on cellular metabolism in sake yeast has not yet been clarified. We constructed ehl1/2/3 mutants harboring a stop codon in each gene using the haploid yeast strain H3 as the parental strain, which was derived from K701, and investigated the physiological role and effects of the EHL1/2/3 genes on sake quality. Metabolome analysis and vitamin requirement testing revealed that the EHL1/2/3 genes are partly responsible for the synthesis of pantothenate. For fermentation profiles, ethanol production by the ehl1/2/3 mutant was comparable with that of strain H3, but succinate production was decreased in the ehl1/2/3 mutant compared to strain H3 when cultured in yeast malt (YM) medium containing 10% glucose and during sake brewing. Ethyl hexanoate and isoamyl acetate levels in the ehl1/2/3 mutant strain were decreased compared to those of strain H3 during sake brewing. Thus, the EHL1/2/3 genes did not affect ethanol production but did affect the production of organic acids and aromatic components during sake brewing.

Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum strain N1-4 (ATCC13564) is a butanol-producing strain suitable for application to butanol production from cellulosic materials by co-culture with cellulolytic and thermophilic species, such as Hungateiclostridium thermocellum (synonym: Clostridium thermocellum). The optimal temperature for butanol production by strain N1-4 is 30 °C, and the strain is sensitive to a high culture temperature of 37 °C. Given that spore formation is observed at high frequency when strain N1-4 is cultivated at 37 °C, we assumed in a previous study that the initiation of sporulation is related to a decrease in butanol production. Therefore, to investigate the relationship between butanol production and spore formation, we generated strain N1-4 isolates in which genes related to spore formation were disrupted. The sporulation-related gene disruptants of spo0A, sigE, sigG, and sigK lost the ability to produce heat-resistant spores, irrespective of the culture temperature. Among the gene disruptants produced, only the spo0A disruptant lost butanol-producing ability when cultivated at 30 °C. Interestingly, the sigE disruptant maintained butanol productivity similar to that observed at 30 °C, even when cultivated at 37 °C. In addition, the sigE disruptant successfully produced butanol from Avicel cellulose by co-culture with H. thermocellum at a fermentation temperature of 37 °C.

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.
