Transcription profiling of lager brewing yeast strain during industrial propagation and fermentation

ABSTRACT: Commercial brewing yeast strains are exposed to a number of potential stresses including oxidative stress. The aim of this investigation was to measure the physiological and transcriptional changes of yeast cells during full-scale industrial brewing processes with a view to determining the environmental factors influencing the cellâs oxidative stress response. Cellular antioxidant levels were monitored throughout an industrial propagation and fermentation and microarray analysis was employed to determine transcriptional changes in antioxidant-encoding and other stress response genes. The greatest increase in cellular antioxidants and transcription of antioxidant-encoding genes occurred as the rapidly fermentable sugars glucose and fructose were depleted from the growth medium (wort) and the cell population entered the stationary phase. The data suggest that, contrary to expectation, the oxidative stress response is not influenced by changes in the dissolved oxygen concentration of wort but is initiated as part of a general stress response to growth-limiting conditions, even in the absence of oxygen. A mechanism is proposed to explain the changes in antioxidant response observed in yeast during anaerobic fermentation. The results suggest that the yeast cell does not experience oxidative stress, per se, during industrial brewery handling. This information may be taken into consideration when setting parameters for industrial brewery fermentation.

Project description:Raw expression values (CHP data) for transcriptional profiling of the response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to challenges with lactic acid at pH 3 and pH 5. Experiment Overall Design: The laboratory reference strain CEN.PK 113-7D (MATa) was grown at 30 Â°C in 1.5-L chemostat fermentors (Applikon, Schiedam, The Netherlands) with a working volume of 1-L using an electronic level sensor to maintain a constant volume. All cultures, including the reference, were fed with minimal medium as described by Verduyn et al. (1992) with 25 g L-1 glucose as the limiting nutrient and 0.15 ml L-1 silicone antifoam (BDH, Poole, England) to prevent excessive foaming. The dilution rate was set to 0.10 h-1 and the pH was controlled at 5.0 with the automatic addition (ADI 1031 bio controller, Applikon) of 2 M KOH. The stirrer speed was set at 800 RPM and anaerobicity was maintained by sparging the fermentor with N2 gas at 500 ml min-1. To prevent diffusion of oxygen, the fermentor was equipped with Norprene tubing and Viton O-rings and the medium vessel was also flushed with N2 gas. A comparable degree of weak acid uncoupling was ensured by decreasing the biomass yield to approximately 50% of the reference condition (no organic acids added) with the addition of the appropriate concentration of lactic acid to the reservoir media. Experiment Overall Design: Sampling of chemostat cultures, probe preparation and hybridization to Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays was performed as described previously (Piper et al., 2002), but with the following modifications. Double-stranded cDNA synthesis was carried out using 15 Î¼g of total RNA and the components of the One Cycle cDNA Synthesis Kit (Affymetrix). The double-stranded cDNA was purified (Genechip Sample Cleanup Module, Qiagen) before in vitro transcription and labeling (GeneChip IVT Labeling Kit, Affymetrix). Finally, labeled cRNA was purified (GeneChip Sample Cleanup Module) prior to fragmentation and hybridization of 15 Î¼g of biotinylated cRNA. Experiment Overall Design: Data acquisition was performed using the Affymetrix scanner 3000, quantification of array images and data filtering were performed with the Affymetrix software packages Microarray Suite v5.0, MicroDB v3.0 and Data Mining Tool v3.0.
