Abstract
Acetobacter is one of the main species producing fruit vinegar and its tolerance mechanism to citric acid has not been fully studied. This limits fruit vinegar production from high-citric-acid fruits, which are excellent materials for fruit vinegar production. This study analyzed the metabolic differences between two strains of A. tropicalis with different citric acid tolerances using non-targeted metabolomics. Differential metabolites and metabolic pathways analysis showed that the enhanced amino acid metabolism significantly improved the citric acid tolerance of A. tropicalis and the deamination of amino acids may also play a role. In addition, the up-regulated phosphatidylcholine (PC) and N-heptanoylhonoserine lactone indicated decreased membrane permeability and enhanced quorum sensing (QS), respectively. The analysis of the interaction between pathways and metabolites indicated that Gln, Cys, and Tyr contribute to improving citric acid tolerance, which was also confirmed by the exogenous addition. After adding the amino acids, the down-regulated qdh, up-regulated ggt, and improved glutathione reductase (GR) activity in J-2736 indicated that glutathione metabolism played an important role in resisting citric acid, and cellular antioxidant capacity was increased. This study provides a theoretical basis for efficient fruit vinegar production from citric-acid-type fruits.
