Non-invasive real time monitoring of yeast volatilome by PTR-ToF-MS.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Producing a wide range of volatile secondary metabolites Saccharomyces cerevisiae influences wine, beer, and bread sensory quality and hence selection of strains based on their volatilome becomes pivotal. A rapid on-line method for volatilome assessing of strains growing on standard solid media is still missing.

Objectives

Methodologically, the aim of this study was to demonstrate the automatic, real-time, direct, and non-invasive monitoring of yeast volatilome in order to rapidly produce a robust large data set encompassing measurements relative to many strains, replicates and time points. The fundamental scope was to differentiate volatilomes of genetically similar strains of oenological relevance during the whole growing process.

Method

Six different S. cerevisiae strains (four meiotic segregants of a natural strain and two laboratory strains) inoculated onto a solid medium have been monitored on-line by Proton Transfer Reaction-Time-of-Flight-Mass Spectrometry for 11 days every 4 h (3540 time points). FastGC PTR-ToF-MS was performed during the stationary phase on the 5th day.

Results

More than 300 peaks have been extracted from the average spectra associated to each time point, 70 have been tentatively identified. Univariate and multivariate analyses have been performed on the data matrix (3640 measurements?×?70 peaks) highlighting the volatilome evolution and strain-specific features. Laboratory strains with opposite mating type, and meiotic segregants of the same natural strain showed significantly different profiles.

Conclusions

The described set-up allows the on-line high-throughput screening of yeast volatilome of S. cerevisiae strains and the identification of strain specific features and new metabolic pathways, discriminating also genetically similar strains, thus revealing a novel method for strain phenotyping, identification, and quality control.

Project description:Our understanding of biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions improved substantially during the last years. Nevertheless, there are still large uncertainties of processes controlling plant carbon investment into BVOCs, of some biosynthetic pathways and their linkage to CO2 decarboxylation at central metabolic branching points. To shed more light on carbon partitioning during BVOC biosynthesis, we used an innovative approach combining δ13CO2 laser spectroscopy, high-sensitivity proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry and a multiple branch enclosure system in combination with position-specific 13C-metabolite labelling. Feeding experiments with position-specific 13C-labelled pyruvate, a central metabolite of BVOC synthesis, enabled online detection of carbon partitioning into 13C-BVOCs and respiratory 13CO2. Measurements of trace gas emissions of the Mediterranean shrub Halimium halimifolium revealed a broad range of emitted BVOCs. In general, [2-13C]-PYR was rapidly incorporated into emitted acetic acid, methyl acetate, toluene, cresol, trimethylbenzene, ethylphenol, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, indicating de novo BVOC biosynthesis of these compounds. In contrast, [1-13C]-pyruvate labelling substantially increased 13CO2 emissions in the light indicating C1-decarboxylation. Similar labelling patterns of methyl acetate and acetic acid suggested tightly connected biosynthetic pathways and, furthermore, there were hints of possible biosynthesis of benzenoids via the MEP-pathway. Overall, substantial CO2 emission from metabolic branching points during de novo BVOC biosynthesis indicated that decarboxylation of [1-13C]-pyruvate, as a non-mitochondrial source of CO2, seems to contribute considerably to daytime CO2 release from leaves. Our approach, combining synchronised BVOC and CO2 measurements in combination with position-specific labelling opens the door for real-time analysis tracing metabolic pathways and carbon turnover under different environmental conditions, which may enhance our understanding of regulatory mechanisms in plant carbon metabolism and BVOC biosynthesis.
