Abstract:

To verify the role of acetic acid as a signal molecule, the supernatant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae W141 (the control group) and W141-07 (△aldh6), as well as 1.5 g/L acetic acid were added into S. cerevisiae W141 fermentation broth at the logarithmic phase. The content of 2,3- butanediol(2,3-BD), the activity of acetolactate synthase (ILV2) and 2,3-BD dehydrogenase (BDH1) were detected. The results showed that under the condition of 1.5 g/L acetic acid, the content of 2,3-BD, the ILV2 and BDH1 enzyme activities reached the highest value, which were 3.01±0.04 g/L, 1.41±0.03 U/mg and 0.12±0.002 U/mg, respectively. The acetic acid addition group was significantly higher than those of supernatant addition groups (P<0.01). At the same time, the expressions of ilv2 (24 h) and bdh1 (60 h) genes under the three conditions were determined. After adding W141-07 supernatant, the expression levels of ilv2 and bdh1 genes were down-regulated by 31.6% and 25.0%, respectively. After adding acetic acid with a final concentration 1.5 g/L, the expression levels of ilv2 and bdh1 were up-regulated, which were 4.38 and 1.24 times that of the control, respectively. These results indicate that acetic acid can act as a signal molecule to drive the expression of related genes, thus to improve 2,3-BD production.
