Abstract To identify the substrates and enzymes related to resveratrol biosynthesis in Alternaria sp. MG1, different substrates were used to produce resveratrol, and their influence on resveratrol production was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Formation of resveratrol and related intermediates was identified using mass spectrum. During the biotransformation, activities of related enzymes, including phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), trans cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H), and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL), were analyzed and tracked. The reaction system contained 100 mL 0.2 mol/L phosphate buffer (pH 6.5), 120 g/L Alternaria sp. MG1 cells, 0.1 g/L MgSO4, and 0.2 g/L CaSO4 and different substrates according to the experimental design. The biotransformation was carried out for 21 h at 28 °C and 120 rpm. Resveratrol formation was identified when phenylalanine, tyrosine, cinnamic acid, and p-coumaric acid were separately used as the only substrate. Accumulation of cinnamic acid, p-coumaric acid, and resveratrol and the activities of PAL, C4H, and 4CL were identified

and changed in different trends during transformation with phenylalanine as the only substrate. The addition of carbohydrates and the increase of phenylalanine concentration promoted resveratrol production and yielded the highest value (4.57 μg/L) when 2 g/L glucose, 1 g/L cyclodextrin, and phenylalanine (4.7 mmol/L) were used simultaneously.

Introduction Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene) is a plant stilbene having multiple functions and is in high demand in food and medical industries (Bradamante et al. 2004; Baur and Sinclair 2006; Dudley et al. 2009; Gresele et al. 2011; Howitz et al. 2003; Lee et al. 2011). Biosynthesis of resveratrol using plant cells and genetically modified microorganisms is recently explored to overcome the difficulties caused by shortage of plant sources from which resveratrol is extracted (Beihadj et al. 2008; Kiselev et al. 2013; Donnez et al. 2011). However, these techniques normally need long ti
