Abstract

Acetic acid, a common weak acid in industrial fermentation processes, occurs naturally in lignocellulosic hydrolysates and is a byproduct of microbial metabolism. As a significant environmental stressor, it triggers the expression of multiple genes involved in various cellular responses, including biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions. Using the acid-tolerant strain Pichia kudriavzevii PkAC-9, developed through adaptive laboratory evolution under acetic acid stress, we conducted a transcriptional analysis of 70 stress response-associated genes. RT-qPCR analysis revealed significant upregulation of several genes compared with the wild-type strain under acetic acid stress conditions. The most dramatic changes occurred in genes encoding key metabolic enzymes and stress response proteins associated with the TCA cycle (Fum: 18.6-fold, Aco: 17.1-fold, Oxo: 9.0-fold), carbon and energy metabolism (Tdh2: 28.0-fold, Erg2: 2.0-fold), electron transport chain (Gst: 10.6-fold), molecular chaperones (Hsp104: 26.9-fold, Hsp70: 13.0-fold, Sgt2: 10.0-fold), and transcriptional activators. Our findings indicate that the enhanced acetic acid tolerance of P. kudriavzevii PkAC-9 primarily depends on the coordinated upregulation of genes involved in energy metabolism, cellular detoxification mechanisms, and protein quality control systems through heat shock and transcriptional activator proteins.

期刊介绍: Journal of Fungi (ISSN 2309-608X) is an international, peer-reviewed scientific open access journal that provides an advanced forum for studies related to pathogenic fungi, fungal biology, and all other aspects of fungal research. The journal publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications in quarterly issues. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on paper length. Full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
