Title Peptide extract from spent yeast improves resistance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to oxidative stress

Abstract Yeast cells face various stress factors during industrial fermentations, since they are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, which may impair biomolecules productivity and yield. In this work, the use of an antioxidant peptide extract obtained from industrial spent yeast was explored as supplement for Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation to prevent a common bottleneck: oxidative stress. For that, a recombinant yeast strain, producer of beta-farnesene, was firstly incubated with 0.5 and 0.7 g/L peptide extract, in the presence and absence of hydrogen peroxide (an oxidative stress inducer), for 1-5 h, and then assayed for intracellular reactive oxygen species, and growth ability in agar spot assays. Results showed that under 2 mM H2O2, the peptide extract could improve cells growth and reduce reactive oxygen species production. Therefore, this antioxidant effect was further evaluated in shake-flasks and 2-L bioreactor batch fermentations. Peptide extract (0.7 g/L) was able to increase yeast resistance to the oxidative stress promoted by 2 mM H2O2, by reducing reactive oxygen species levels between 1.2- and 1.7-fold in bioreactor and between 1.2- and 3-fold in shake-flask fermentations. Moreover, improvements on yeast cell density of up to 1.5-fold and 2-fold, and on biomolecule concentration of up to 1.6-fold and 2.8-fold, in bioreactor and shake-flasks, respectively, were obtained. Thus, culture medium supplementation with antioxidant peptide extracted from industrial spent yeast is a promising strategy to improve fermentation performance while valuing biomass waste. This valorization can promote a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for the biotechnology industry by the implementation of a circular economy model.
