Abstract

The thermotolerant yeast Pichia kudriavzevii (previously known as Issatchenkia orientalis), can produce ethanol from a variety of carbon sources and grows at around 45 °C. Thus, this yeast is considered a useful biocatalyst for producing ethanol from lignocellulose through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). SSF has several advantages, such as a simplified manufacturing process, ease of operation and reduced energy input. Using P. kudriavzevii NBRC1279 and NBRC1664, we previously succeeded in producing ethanol through SSF; however, the extent to which inhibitors by-produced from lignocellulose hydrolysis affect the growth and ethanol productivity of the two strains remains to be investigated. In this study, to better understand the inhibitor tolerance capacity of the two strains, spot assay, growth experiment, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis and multiple sequence alignment analysis were carried out. When P. kudriavzevii NBRC1279 and NBRC1664, as well as Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4742 as a control, were cultured on SCD plates containing 17% ethanol, 42 mM furfural, 56 mM 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) or 10 mM vanillin, only P. kudriavzevii NBRC1664 was able to grow under all conditions. Moreover, the inhibitor tolerance capacity of P. kudriavzevii NBRC1664 was greater than those of other strains using SCD medium containing the same concentrations of various inhibitors. When an RT-qPCR analysis of seven gene sequences from aldehyde dehydrogenase and the aldehyde dehydrogenase family protein (ADHF) was performed using P. kudriavzevii NBRC1664 cultivated in the presence of 56 mM HMF, ADHF1 and ADHF2 were up-regulated in the early logarithmic growth phase. Moreover, a multiple sequence alignment of the amino acid sequences of ADHF1, ADHF2 and the known ADH suggested that ADHF1 and ADHF2 may catalyze the reversible NAD+-dependent oxidation of HMF. Our data may be useful for future studies on the metabolic engineering of more useful strains for ethanol production from lignocellulose.
