Newly isolated yeasts from Tunisian microhabitats: Lipid accumulation and fatty acid composition.

ABSTRACT: Newly isolated yeasts from different Tunisian microhabitats, such as soil, milk, olive brine, vinegar, and from olive mill wastewater-contaminated biotopes were extensively studied for their biochemical arsenal and morphological features, i.e. cell, ascospore, and lipid body morphology. All strains were classified into the Ascomycota phylum. However, they showed great functional diversity, including different morphological and biochemical features, lipid production ability, and fatty acid profiles. Accordingly, the strains were placed in three different groups: Group I, which includes Candida species; Group II (Pichia and related); and Group III (Kluyveromyces marxianus strain CC1). Group I and II were characterized by a high percentage of oleic acid (41.6-65.3% of total lipids) while in Group III, linoleic acid was the major fatty acid (37.2%). Members of Group I and II were further grouped into subgroups according to their fatty acid composition. Among the newly isolated strains, Pichia etchellsii BM1 was able to accumulate around 25% wt/wt lipid per dry cell mass and thus characterized as oleaginous. Some other strains, such as Candida metapsilosis strain EL2, C. parapsilosis strain LV2, C. pararugosa strain BM24, and K. marxianus strain CC1, which are able to produce extracellular lipases, may be of interest for specific environmental applications and/or for the production of novel lipases.

Project description:Yeasts are important microorganisms used for ethanol production; however, they are not equally efficient in the amount of ethanol production under different environmental conditions. It is, therefore, necessary to screen for elite strains to utilize them for commercial production of these commodities. In this study, yeasts were isolated from different Ethiopian traditional fermented alcoholic beverages (teji, tella, shamiata and areqe tinisis), milk and ergo, teff and maize dough, soil and compost, flowers, and fruits to evaluate their potential use for ethanol fermentation process. Isolates were screened for efficient ethanol production and the selected ones were identified using phenotypic and genetic characters using D1/D2 region of LSU rDNA sequence analysis. The yeast isolates were evaluated based on their growth and fermentation of different carbon sources. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize temperature, pH and incubation time using central composite design (CCD) in Design-Expert 7.0.0. A total of 211 yeasts colonies were isolated of which 60% were ethanologenic yeasts (ethanol producers) and 40% were non-ethanol producers. The yeast population detected from various sources was in the range of 10 5 CFU from traditional foods and beverages to that of 10 3 CFU from fruits and soil samples. The data also showed that the number of colony types (diversity) did not correlate with population density. The highly fermentative isolates were taxonomically characterized into four genera, of which 65% of the isolates (ETP37, ETP50; ETP53, ETP89, ETP94) were categorized under Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the remaining were Pichia fermentans ETP22, Kluyveromyces marxianus ETP87, and Candida humilis ETP122. The S. cerevisiae isolates produced ethanol (7.6-9.0 g/L) similar with K. marxianus ETP87 producing 7.97 g/L; comparable to the ethanol produced from commercial baker's yeast (8.43 g/L) from 20 g/L dextrose; whereas C. humilis ETP122 and P. fermentans ETP22 produced 5.37 g/L and 6.43 g/L ethanol, respectively. S. cerevisiae ETP53, K. marxianus ETP87, P. fermentans ETP22 and C. humilis ETP122 tolerated 10% extraneous ethanol but the percentage of ethanol tolerance considerably decreased upon 15%. S. cerevisiae ETP53 produced ethanol optimally at pH 5.0, 60 h, and 34 o C. pH 4.8, temperature 36 o C, and 65 h of time were optimal growth conditions of ethanol fermentation by K. marxianus ETP87. The ethanol fermentation conditions of P. fermentans ETP22 was similar to S. cerevisiae ETP53 though the ethanol titer of S. cerevisiae ETP53 was higher than P. fermentans ETP22. Therefore, S. cerevisiae ETP53, K. marxianus and P. fermentans ETP22 are good candidates for ethanol production.

Project description:Methods: We performed mRNA sequence analysis by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq to assess the impact of PHLPP1 knockdown in regulating gene expression in RAW 264.7 cells treated with/without OxLDL. The transcriptome libraries were constructed using the NEB adapters and were sequenced on at 150 nucleotide read length using the paired-end chemistry. The raw reads were subjected to Adapter and low-quality reads removal by Trimmomatic -0.36v. The raw reads were subjected to contamination [structural RNA / low complexity sequences] removal by mapping with bowtie 2-2.2.1. The decontaminated data set was mapped to the mouse genome. Reads mapping to gene list were counted using feature count module of sub reads package. The read counts were normalized in DESeq2-3.5, and subject to differential expression analysis. Differentially expressed genes were selected based on log2-ratio change with p-value <0.05 (Student’s t-test, unpaired). Hierarchical clustering was performed with the programs Cluster (uncentered correlation; average linkage clustering) and Treeview. Results: To gain a deeper understanding of the role of PHLPP1 in lipid metabolism in macrophages, we performed mRNA Seq analysis to assess the gene expression changes in a mouse macrophage cell line. The experiment has been carried out in triplicates. Alignment of the reads showed 97% alignment to the reference mouse genome. Identification of the differentially expressed genes were then carried out by DESeq2 version 1.2.10 with stringent criteria (FDR <0.05% with 2 fold up and down regulation) which reveals in control treated vs. control (121-down, 396-Up), Test vs. Control - (326-down, 569 Up) and Test treated vs. control treated (1314-down, 1328 up) of DEG to be altered in expression respectively. Inference: RNA-seq analysis revealed that PHLPP1 knockdown parallel with OxLDL treatment resulted in diminished expression profile of cholesterol biosynthesis and lipid metabolism genes.
