酵母2-苯乙醇耐受性的研究进展

2-苯乙醇(2-phenylethanol, 2-PE)是一种可食用且有玫瑰香味的高级芳香醇,常用于食品、化妆品和药品行业。由于物理和化学法制备2-PE得率低,不适用于工业生产。而作为单细胞真核微生物的酵母具有高效合成“天然” 2-PE的潜力,因此酵母作为底盘微生物合成2-PE的策略深受研究者青睐。然而,在酵母进行2-PE发酵过程中不免会受到2-PE毒害作用影响。因此,亟须研究酵母耐受2-PE的机制为生产实际提供理论基础,这也有助于选育具有较高2-PE耐受性的酵母菌株。本文综述了酵母2-PE耐受性的研究进展,从酵母2-PE合成途径、2-PE耐受性机理等方面进行阐述,主要说明提升酵母2-PE耐受性的方法。掌握酵母2-PE耐受机制,最终提升酵母2-PE产量及转化效率是今后研究的重中之重。

Recent advances in biotechnological production of 2-phenylethanol

2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) is an important aromatic alcohol with a rose-like fragrance. It has been widely applied in the cosmetic, perfume, and food industries and is mainly produced by chemical synthesis. An alternative method for the production of natural flavors and fragrances is the microbial transformation process, which is attracting increasing attention because it is an environmentally friendly process and the products are considered “natural”. The production of 2-PE from L-phenylalanine by biotransformation is possible through the Ehrlich pathway and considerable progress has been made in the development of this process. The present report reviews recent advances in biotechnological production of 2-PE, with emphasis on the strategies used to increase production and the applications of in situ product removal techniques. Future research should focus on product scale-up and product recovery processes for the industrialization of microbial processes.     

Advances in 2-phenylethanol production from engineered microorganisms

2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) is an important flavor ingredient with a rose-like odor. Due to concerns about the toxic byproducts potentially found in 2-PE from chemical synthesis, consumers prefer the natural aroma compound, promoting the biosynthesis of 2-PE. Various microorganisms produce 2-PE naturally with low yield. Recent metabolic engineering strategies in yeasts and Escherichia coli have achieved great success in improving 2-PE bioproduction, including the alleviation of feed-back inhibition, improvement of precursor transport, enhancing activities of crucial enzymes, and reduction of by-products. Here, we review the metabolic engineering strategies applied to microorganisms for increasing bioproduction of 2-PE, address current problems, and propose further improvements.

Biotechnological production of 2-phenylethanol

2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) is an important flavour and fragrance compound with a rose-like odour. Most of the world's annual production of several thousand tons is synthesised by chemical means but, due to increasing demand for natural flavours, alternative production methods are being sought. Harnessing the Ehrlich pathway of yeasts by bioconversion of L-phenylalanine to 2-PE could be an option, but in situ product removal is necessary due to product inhibition. This review describes the microbial production of 2-PE, and also summarizes the chemical syntheses and the market situation.     

Yarrowia lipolytica: the novel and promising 2-phenylethanol producer

This is the first report on the ability of Yarrowia lipolytica strains to produce 2-phenylethanol (2-PE), which has not been identified for this species to date. 2-PE is a valuable aroma compound of rose-like odor. Its isolation from the other than microbial source—rose petals, is limited by the substrate availability. Thus, this chemical compound constitutes an attractive product for biotechnological conversions. To date, the ability to produce 2-PE has been described for such genera as Saccharomyces sp., Kluyveromyces sp., Geotrichum sp., and Pichia sp. This report provides evidence that Y. lipolytica is a novel 2-PE producer. Moreover, the titers of 2-PE obtained in Y. lipolytica NCYC3825 non-optimized cultures, nearly 2 g/l, are competitive to titers obtained by the other species.     

The biosynthesis of A2E, a fluorophore of aging retina, involves the formation of the precursor, A2-PE, in the photoreceptor outer segment membrane

The autofluorescent lipofuscin that accumulates in retinal pigment epithelial cells with age may contribute to an age-related decline in cell function. The major lipofuscin fluorophore, A2E, is a pyridinium bisretinoid. We previously proposed that the biogenesis of A2E involves the following: (i) formation of the Schiff base, N-retinylidene phosphatidylethanolamine from all-trans-retinal and phosphatidylethanolamine in the photoreceptor outer segment membrane; (ii) further reaction of N-retinylidene phosphatidylethanolamine with retinal to yield phosphatidylethanolamine-bisretinoid, A2-PE; (iii) hydrolysis of A2-PE to generate A2E. To provide evidence for this biogenic scheme, all-trans-retinal was reacted with dipalmitoyl-l-alpha-phosphatidylethanolamine to yield DP-A2-PE (A2-PE), as confirmed by UV, with mass spectrometry revealing the molecular ion at m/z 1222.9 (C(77)H(124)O(8)PN) accompanied by product ion at m/z 672.8, representing the phosphoryl-A2E fragment of A2-PE. In reaction mixtures of retinal and outer segments and in samples of Royal College of Surgeons rat retina containing outer segment membranous debris, A2-PE was detected as a series of high performance liquid chromatography peaks, each with UV similar to reference A2-PE. By mass spectrometry, A2-PE consisted of multiple peaks, representing fatty acids with different chain lengths, and the phosphoryl-A2E moiety, m/z 673. Incubation of the retinal/outer segment reaction mixture with phospholipase D generated A2E, as detected by high performance liquid chromatography, thus confirming A2-PE as the A2E precursor.
