The phase equilibrium relationships of resin systems are indispensable for resin tapping, distillation, and investigating the release of terpenes in biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Herein, we obtained the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of monoterpene-sesquiterpene systems that contain resin acid by a headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC). There is no azeotropic behavior between terpenes, and abietic acid was found to inhibit the volatilization and separation of terpenes. Furthermore, the saturated vapor pressure of the systems almost triples when the experimental temperature increases from 313.15 to 333.15 K, which may exacerbate terpene emissions in ecosystems. Additionally, the thermodynamic consistency of the VLE values was confirmed by van Ness test, and the experimental data were correlated using NRTL, UNIQUAC, and Wilson activity coefficient models, while the Conductor-like Screening Model for Real Solvents (COSMO-RS) model was utilized for predictions. All of the data satisfy thermodynamic consistency, and the correlation results and prediction results demonstrate good adherence of the activity coefficient models to experimental values and the positive capacity of COSMO-RS in predicting the VLE relationship for the pine resin systems, respectively.

Cinnamomum porrectum (Roxb.) Kosterm is an important plant which produces natural essential oil. In this study, essential oil was hydro-distilled from leaves of five different samples of C. porrectum which were randomly selected in a C. porrectum forest in Guangdong Province of China, and identified by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The results revealed that the average yield of essential oil was 1.12 % (v/w). A total of 65 compounds were identified from five samples, and 31 of which were reported for the first time in leaf essential oil of C. porrectum. High contents of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were found in the leaves of C. porrectum. The main components of essential oil were linalool (79.4 %), elemol (38.1 %), eucalyptol (35.6 %), β-caryophyllene (34.6 %), camphor (33.2 %), α-eudesmol (26.5 %), citral (23.5 %) and L-α- Terpineol (22.0 %). Different types of high-value compounds were found to be present in the five selected samples of C. porrectum oil, and the difference of essential oil components in individual leaves was remarkable. The various breeding techniques can be utilization based on different chemical types of leaf essential oil to exploit the plant to its full potential.

Summary The natural plant product bisabolene serves as a precursor for the production of a wide range of industrially relevant chemicals. However, the low abundance of bisabolene in plants renders its isolation from plant sources non-economically viable. Therefore, creation of microbial cell factories for bisabolene production supported by synthetic biology and metabolic engineering strategies presents a more competitive and environmentally sustainable method for industrial production of bisabolene. In this proof-of-principle study, for the first time, we engineered the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce α-bisabolene, β-bisabolene and γ-bisabolene through heterologous expression of the α-bisabolene synthase from Abies grandis , the β-bisabolene synthase gene from Zingiber officinale and the γ-bisabolene synthase gene from Helianthus annuus respectively. Subsequently, two metabolic engineering approaches, including overexpression of the endogenous mevalonate pathway genes and introduction of heterologous multidrug efflux transporters, were employed in order to improve bisabolene production. Furthermore, the fermentation conditions were optimized to maximize bisabolene production by the engineered Y. lipolytica strains from glucose. Finally, we explored the potential of the engineered Y. lipolytica strains for bisabolene production from the waste cooking oil. To our knowledge, this is the first report of bisabolene production in Y. lipolytica using metabolic engineering strategies. These findings provide valuable insights into the engineering of Y. lipolytica for a higher-level production of bisabolene and its utilization in converting waste cooking oil into various industrially valuable products.

Essential oils (EOs) and their volatile secondary metabolites have been proved to be effective on storage pests control, while restricted on the application due to unclear mechanism. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and binding free energies analysis provided an effective approach to reveal mechanism on conformational calculation. In this work, the insecticidal and repellent capacities of Praxelis clematidea and Ageratum houstonianum oils and their main components identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) were scientifically measured. Interestingly, P. clematidea oil exhibited strong fumigant toxicity against Tribolium castaneum (LC 50 = 7.07 mg/L air). Moreover, two EOs exhibited over 80% repellent rate against T. castaneum at the highest concentration of 78.63 nL/cm 2 . Furthermore, hundreds of enzymes related to the regulation of biological processes of T. castaneum were screened to explore the underlying molecular mechanism and develop promising insecticides. Besides, top hits were subjected to MD simulations and binding free energies analysis to elucidate complex inter-molecular stability and affinity over simulated time. The results demonstrated that isolongifolene, δ -cadinene, β -caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide were prioritized as they were establishing conserved and stable interactions with residues of nuclear hormone receptor 3 ( TcHR3 ) of T. castaneum , which suggested that the four sesquiterpenes have potential to be promising insecticides on storage pests control.
