Article Abstract
Patchoulol is an important sesquiterpene alcohol with a strong and lasting odor, which has led to prominent applications in perfumes and cosmetics. In this study, systematic metabolic engineering strategies were adopted to create an efficient yeast cell factory for patchoulol overproduction. First, a baseline strain was constructed by selecting a highly active patchoulol synthase. Subsequently, the mevalonate precursor pool was expanded to boost patchoulol synthesis. Moreover, a method for downregulating squalene synthesis based on Cu-repressible promoter was optimized, which significantly improved the patchoulol titer by 100.9% to 124 mg/L. In addition, a protein fusion strategy resulted in a final titer of 235 mg/L in shake flasks. Finally, 2.864 g/L patchoulol could be produced in a 5 L bioreactor, representing a remarkable 1684-fold increase compared to the baseline strain. To our knowledge, this is the highest patchoulol titer reported so far.

In the present study, a comprehensive study on the chemical constituents of Pogostemon cablin (PC) based on plant metabolomics was conducted. A total of 72 nonvolatile and 72 volatile chemical components of PC were characterized by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively. Subsequently, 15 nonvolatile and 14 volatile chemical components were identified as potential markers for discriminating between different botanical parts of PC.

Patchouli essential oil, derived from volatile compounds produced by Pogostemon cablin, has wide-ranging medicinal and industrial applications. It is primarily synthesized, secreted, and stored in the epidermal trichomes of the plant. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate trichome development remain poorly understood.

As a kind of drug mostly used historically to treat epidemics, aromatic botanicals have volatile oils as active components. The study aims to evaluate the anti-influenza viral pneumonia effects of volatile monomers patchouli alcohol (PA), carvacrol (CV), p-Cymene (PC), eucalyptol (EC) and their formulations from various aspects through the influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) infection experiment in vivo and in vitro and carry out in-depth studies on the anti-inflammatory mechanisms. In this study, we found that all four volatile monomers mentioned above could exert antiviral effects by suppressing pulmonary viral load and lung index and improving lung lesions in mice with influenza pneumonia.

Terpenes are biomolecules of significant industrial relevance, with applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and the food industry. Their biotechnological production is emerging, with , a Gram-positive bacterium traditionally employed for large-scale amino acid production, serving as a promising host. While metabolic engineering strategies have been extensively applied to enhance terpene titers in , the role of medium composition, particularly trace elements, remains underexplored.
