Pellet diameter of Ganoderma lucidum in a repeated-batch fermentation for the trio total production of biomass-exopolysaccharide-endopolysaccharide and its anti-oral cancer beta-glucan response. AIMS Microbiol 2020; 6:379-400. [PMID: 33364534 PMCID: PMC7755588 DOI: 10.3934/microbiol.2020023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The pellet morphology and diameter range (DR) of Ganoderma lucidum were observed in a repeated-batch fermentation (RBF) for the trio total production of biomass, exopolysaccharide (EPS) and endopolysaccharide (ENS). Two factors were involved in RBF; broth replacement ratio (BRR: 60%, 75% and 90%) and broth replacement time point (BRTP: log, transition and stationary phase) in days. In RBF, 34.31 g/L of biomass favoured small-compact pellets with DR of 20.67 µm< d < 24.00 µm (75% BRR, day 11 of BRTP). EPS production of 4.34 g/L was prone to ovoid-starburst pellets with DR of 34.33 µm< d <35.67 µm (75% BRR, day 13 of BRTP). Meanwhile, the highest 2.43 g/L of ENS production favoured large-hollow pellets with DR of 34.00 µm< d < 38.67 µm (90% BRR, day 13 of BRTP). In addition, RBF successfully shortened the biomass-EPS–ENS fermentation period (31, 33 and 35 days) from batch to 5 days, in seven consecutive cycles of RBF. In a FTIR detection, β-glucan (BG) from EPS and ENS extracts were associated with β-glycosidic linkages (2925 cm−1, 1635 cm−1, 1077 cm−1, 920 cm−1 and 800 cm−1 wavelengths) with similar 1H NMR spectral behaviour (4.58, 3.87 and 3.81 ppm). Meanwhile, 4 mg/L of BG gave negative cytotoxic effects on normal gingival cell line (hGF) but induced antiproliferation (IC50 = 0.23 mg/mL) against cancerous oral Asian cellosaurus cell line (ORL-48). Together, this study proved that G. lucidum mycelial pellets could withstand seven cycles of long fermentation condition and possessed anti-oral cancer beta-glucan, which suits large-scale natural drug fermentation.

Microbial sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the prospect of organic residues and wastes as growth media for PUFA-producing microorganisms. FEMS Microbiol Lett 2020; 367:5735438.

Abstract
The discovery of non-fish sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is of great biotechnological importance. Although various oleaginous microalgae and fungi are able of accumulating storage lipids (single cell oils - SCOs) containing PUFAs, the industrial applications utilizing these organisms are rather limited due to the high-fermentation cost. However, combining SCO production with other biotechnological applications, including waste and by-product valorization, can overcome this difficulty. In the current review, we present the major sources of fungi (i.e. members of Mucoromycota, fungoid-like Thraustochytrids and genetically modified strains of Yarrowia lipolytica) and microalgae (e.g. Isochrysis, NannochloropsisandTetraselmis) that have come recently to the forefront due to their ability to produce PUFAs. Approaches adopted in order to increase PUFA productivity and the potential of using various residues, such as agro-industrial, food and aquaculture wastes as fermentation substrates for SCO production have been considered and discussed. We concluded that several organic residues can be utilized as feedstock in the SCO production increasing the competitiveness of oleaginous organisms against conventional PUFA producers.

Abstract
Single cell oils (SCO) are oils derived from microorganisms which have potential to hyperaccumulate intracellular lipids (called oleaginous) under some essential nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorous or sometimes sulphur) starvation and an excess of carbon. The present work investigates the influence of these key parameters (for triggering oleaginicity), i.e. carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) on oleaginous behaviour of an oleaginous isolate, with the objective of improving the lipid content and obtaining oils of applicative interest. Eleven yeasts were isolated from rotten fruits and a unique yeast from rotten apple was screened on the basis of its ~ 20% (of dry mass) lipid content (LC), trademark of oleaginicity under nitrogen-stressed culture conditions. Subsequent investigation on influence of C, N and w/w ratio of carbon source concentration (Cs) to nitrogen source concentration (Ns) was conducted on this isolate. The isolate was identified as a Deuteromycete-Geotrichum candidum. 4.8 g/l was found to be minimum N concentration and glucose as suitable C source for optimum balance between biomass and lipid content. The highest LC of 73.6% (172.5% higher compared to 27% LC at Cs/Ns 80/4.8) was obtained at Cs/Ns 150/4.8 with a lipid coefficient of 8.7 (g lipid/100 g substrate). While remarkably higher production economy (lipid coefficient of 28.45) was noted at Cs/Ns 100/4.8 with significant LC of 54.4% (~ 100% higher than at Cs/Ns 80/4.8). The derived oils were predominantly rich in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA)-caprylic acid, rare in plant oils. G. candidum is a previously referred oleaginous species; however, for the first time this study illustrates its detailed oleaginous behaviour and lipid compositional characteristics with varying nutritional parameters. The work is a progressive contribution towards current and upcoming researches in field of SCOs. Compositional characteristics of derived oils, make it an important candidate for potential medical and nutritional applications in future.

Abstract
Six yeast strains belonging to Rhodosporidium toruloides, Lipomyces starkeyi, Rhodotorula glutinis and Cryptococcus curvatus were shake-flask cultured on xylose (initial sugar—S0 = 70 ± 10 g/L) under nitrogen-limited conditions. C. curvatus ATCC 20509 and L. starkeyi DSM 70296 were further cultured in media where process waters were partially replaced by the phenol-containing olive mill wastewaters (OMWs). In flasks with S0 ≈ 100 g/L and OMWs added yielding to initial phenolic compounds concentration (PCC0) between 0.0 g/L (blank experiment) and 2.0 g/L, C. curvatus presented maximum total dry cell weight—TDCWmax ≈ 27 g/L, in all cases. The more the PCC0 increased, the fewer lipids were produced. In OMW-enriched media with PCC0 ≈ 1.2 g/L, TDCW = 20.9 g/L containing ≈ 40% w/w of lipids was recorded. In L. starkeyi cultures, when PCC0 ≈ 2.0 g/L, TDCW ≈ 25 g/L was synthesized, whereas lipids in TDCW = 24–28% w/w, similar to the experiments without OMWs, were recorded. Non-negligible dephenolization and species-dependent decolorization of the wastewater occurred. A batch-bioreactor trial by C. curvatus only with xylose (S0 ≈ 110 g/L) was performed and TDCW = 35.1 g/L (lipids in TDCW = 44.3% w/w) was produced. Yeast total lipids were composed of oleic and palmitic and to lesser extent linoleic and stearic acids. C. curvatus lipids were mainly composed of nonpolar fractions (i.e., triacylglycerols).

Abstract
Oleaginous microalgae and yeasts represent promising candidates for large-scale production of lipids, which can be utilized for production of drop-in biofuels, nutraceuticals, pigments, and cosmetics. However, low lipid productivity and costly downstream processing continue to hamper the commercial deployment of oleaginous microorganisms. Strain improvement can play an essential role in the development of such industrial microorganisms by increasing lipid production and hence reducing production costs. The main means of strain improvement are random mutagenesis, adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), and rational genetic engineering. Among these, random mutagenesis and ALE are straight forward, low-cost, and do not require thorough knowledge of the microorganism’s genetic composition. This paper reviews available mutagenesis and ALE techniques and screening methods to effectively select for oleaginous microalgae and yeasts with enhanced lipid yield and understand the alterations caused to metabolic pathways, which could subsequently serve as the basis for further targeted genetic engineering.

Abstract
Stress tolerance is a desired characteristic of yeast strains for industrial applications. Stress tolerance has been well described in Saccharomyces yeasts but has not yet been characterized in oleaginous Rhodotorula yeasts even though they are considered promising platforms for lipid production owing to their outstanding lipogenicity. In a previous study, the thermotolerant strain L1–1 was isolated from R. toruloides DMKU3-TK16 (formerly Rhodosporidium toruloides). In this study, we aimed to further examine the ability of this strain to tolerate other stresses and its lipid productivity under various stress conditions. We found that the L1–1 strain could tolerate not only thermal stress but also oxidative stress (ethanol and H2O2), osmotic stress (glucose) and a cell membrane disturbing reagent (DMSO). Our results also showed that the L1–1 strain exhibited enhanced ability to maintain ROS homeostasis, stronger cell wall strength and increased levels of unsaturated membrane lipids under various stresses. Moreover, we also demonstrated that ethanol-induced stress significantly increased the lipid productivity of the thermotolerant L1–1. The thermotolerant L1–1 was also found to produce a higher lipid titer under the dual ethanol-H2O2 stress than under non-stress conditions. This is the first report to indicate that ethanol stress can induce lipid production in an R. toruloides thermotolerant strain.

Abstract
Despite the increasing relevance, ranging from academic research to industrial applications, only a limited number of non-conventional, oleaginous Yarrowia lipolytica strains are characterized in detail. Therefore, we analyzed three strains in regard to their metabolic and physiological properties, especially with respect to important characteristics of a production strain. By investigating different cultivation conditions and media compositions, similarities and differences between the distinct strain backgrounds could be derived. Especially sugar alcohol production, as well as an agglomeration of cells were found to be connected with growth at high temperatures. In addition, sugar alcohol production was independent of high substrate concentrations under these conditions. To investigate the genotypic basis of particular traits, including growth characteristics and metabolite concentrations, genomic analysis were performed. We found sequence variations for one third of the annotated proteins but no obvious link to all phenotypic features.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
A total of 11 yeast strains of Yarrowia lipolytica, Metschnikowia sp., Rhodotorula sp. and Rhodosporidium toruloides were grown under nitrogen-limited conditions with crude glycerol employed as substrate in shake flasks, presenting interesting dry cell weight (DCW) production. Three of these strains belonging to Metschnikowia sp. accumulated significant quantities of endopolysaccharides (i.e. the strain V.V.-D4 produced 11.0 g/L of endopolysaccharides, with polysaccharides in DCW ≈ 63% w/w). A total of six Y. lipolytica strains produced either citric acid or mannitol. Most of the screened yeasts presented somehow elevated lipid and polysaccharides in DCW values at the early steps of growth despite nitrogen appearance in the fermentation medium. Lipid in DCW values decreased as growth proceeded. R. toruloides DSM 4444 cultivated on media presenting higher glycerol concentrations presented interesting lipid-accumulating capacities (maximum lipid = 12.5 g/L, maximum lipid in DCW = 43.0–46.0% w/w, conversion yield on glycerol = 0.16 g/g). Replacement of crude glycerol by xylose resulted in somehow decreased lipid accumulation. In xylose/glycerol mixtures, xylose was more rapidly assimilated from glycerol. R. toruloides total lipids were mainly composed of triacylglycerols. Total cellular fatty acid composition on xylose presented some differences compared with that on glycerol. Cellular lipids contained mainly oleic and palmitic acid.

Abstract
Microorganisms are known to be natural oil producers in their cellular compartments. Microorganisms that accumulate more than 20% w/w of lipids on a cell dry weight basis are considered as oleaginous microorganisms. These are capable of synthesizing vast majority of fatty acids from short hydrocarbonated chain (C6) to long hydrocarbonated chain (C36), which may be saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), or polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), depending on the presence and number of double bonds in hydrocarbonated chains. Depending on the fatty acid profile, the oils obtained from oleaginous microorganisms are utilized as feedstock for either biodiesel production or as nutraceuticals. Mainly microalgae, bacteria, and yeasts are involved in the production of biodiesel, whereas thraustochytrids, fungi, and some of the microalgae are well known to be producers of very long-chain PUFA (omega-3 fatty acids). In this review article, the type of oleaginous microorganisms and their expertise in the field of biodiesel or omega-3 fatty acids, advances in metabolic engineering tools for enhanced lipid accumulation, upstream and downstream processing of lipids, including purification of biodiesel and concentration of omega-3 fatty acids are reviewed.

Abstract
Background Over the last years oleaginous yeasts have been studied for several energetic, oleochemical, medical and pharmaceutical purposes. However, only a small number of yeasts are known and have been deeply exploited. The search for new isolates with high oleaginous capacity becomes imperative, as well as the use of alternative and ecological carbon sources for yeast growth. Results In the present study a high-throughput screening comprising 366 distinct yeast isolates was performed by applying an optimised protocol based on two approaches: (I) yeast cultivation on solid medium using acetic acid as carbon source, (II) neutral lipid estimation by fluorimetry using the lipophilic dye Nile red. Conclusions Results showed that, with the proposed methodology, the oleaginous potential of yeasts with broad taxonomic diversity and variety of growth characteristics was discriminated. Furthermore, this work clearly demonstrated the association of the oleaginous yeast character to the strain level, contrarily to the species-level linkage, as usually stated.

Abstract
Due to the depletion of fossil fuel resources and concern about increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, the production of microbial oil as source for energy and chemicals is considered as a sustainable alternative. A promising candidate strain for the production of microbial oil is the oleaginous yeast Schwanniomyces occidentalis CBS 2864. To compete with fossil resources, cultivation and processing of S. occidentalis requires improvement. Currently, different cell wall disruption techniques based on mechanical, chemical, physiological, and biological methods are being investigated using a variety of oil producing yeasts and microalgae. Most of these techniques are not suitable for upscaling because they are technically or energetically unfavorable. Therefore, new techniques have to be developed to overcome this challenge. Here, we demonstrate an effective mild enzymatic approach for cell disruption to facilitate lipid extraction from the oleaginous yeast S. occidentalis. Most oil was released by applying 187 mg L−1 tailor-made enzymes from Trichoderma harzianum CBS 146429 against the yeast cell wall of S. occidentalis at pH 5.0 and 40 °C with 4 h of incubation time after applying 1 M NaOH as a pretreatment step.

Curr Pharm Biotechnol 2020; 20:881-894. [PMID: 30747061 DOI: 10.2174/1389201020666190211145215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2018] [Revised: 08/19/2018] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Crude glycerol (Glol), used as substrate for screening eleven natural Yarrowia lipolytica strains in shake-flask experiments. Aim of this study was to assess the ability of the screened strains to produce biomass (dry cell weight; X), lipid (L), citric acid (Cit), mannitol (Man), arabitol (Ara) and erythritol (Ery), compounds presenting pharmaceutical and biotechnological interest, in glycerol-based nitrogen-limited media, in which initial glycerol concentration had been adjusted to 40 g/L. METHODS Citric acid may find use in biomedical engineering (i.e. drug delivery, tissue engineering, bioimaging, orthopedics, medical device coating, wound dressings). Polyols are considered as compounds with non-cariogenic and less calorigenic properties as also with low insulin-mediated response. Microbial lipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are medically and dietetically important (selective pharmaceutical and anticancer properties, aid fetal brain development, the sight function of the eye, hormonal balance and the cardio-vascular system, prevent reasons leading to type-2 diabetes, present healing and anti-inflammatory effects). RESULTS All strains presented satisfactory microbial growth (Xmax=5.34-6.26 g/L) and almost complete substrate uptake. The principal metabolic product was citric acid (Citmax=8.5-31.7 g/L). Production of cellular lipid reached the values of 0.33-0.84 g/L. Polyols were also synthesized as strain dependent compounds (Manmax=2.8-6.1 g/L, Aramax ~2.0 g/L, Erymax= 0.5-3.8 g/L). The selected Y. lipolytica strain ACA-DC 5029 presented satisfactory growth along with synthesis of citric acid and polyols, thus, was further grown on media presenting an increased concentration of Glol~75 g/L. Biomass, lipid and citric acid production presented significant enhancement (Xmax=11.80 g/L, Lmax=1.26 g/L, Citmax=30.8 g/L), but conversion yield of citric acid produced per glycerol consumed was decreased compared to screening trials. Erythritol secretion (Erymax=15.6 g/L) was highly favored, suggesting a shift of yeast metabolism from citric acid accumulation towards erythritol production. Maximum endopolysaccharides (IPS) concentration was 4.04 g/L with yield in dry weight 34.2 % w/w. CONCLUSION Y. lipolytica strain ACA-YC 5029 can be considered as a satisfactory candidate grown in high concentrations of crude glycerol to produce added-value compounds that interest pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

Abstract
Electro-fermentation (EF) is a promising technique to increase the performance of bioprocesses. Here, the effect of EF on the lipid production by the yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides is studied. First, an in silico analysis was performed to unveil possible lipid yield increase and metabolic shifts by EF. Subsequently, cathodic EF (CEF) and anodic EF (AEF) were experimentally tested at different pO2 levels. CEF enabled artificial lowering of the extracellular redox potential to less than -200 mV even under strictly aerobic conditions. CEF and AEF both positively affected lipid yield and productivity. Additional CEF cultivations with the redox mediator Neutral Red yielded an immense increase in the ratio of saturated fatty acids (from 37% to 50%). Overall, this work demonstrates that EF offers broad potential to improve microbial lipid production. In this context, the use of redox mediators might be of special future interest for the production of cocoa-butter equivalents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oleaginous yeasts are able to accumulate very high levels of neutral lipids especially under condition of excess of carbon and nitrogen limitation (medium with high C/N ratio). This makes necessary the use of two-steps processes in order to achieve high level of biomass and lipid. To simplify the process, the decoupling of lipid synthesis from nitrogen starvation, by establishing a cytosolic acetyl-CoA formation pathway alternative to the one catalysed by ATP-citrate lyase, can be useful. RESULTS In this work, we introduced a new cytoplasmic route for acetyl-CoA (AcCoA) formation in Rhodosporidium azoricum by overexpressing genes encoding for homologous phosphoketolase (Xfpk) and heterologous phosphotransacetylase (Pta). The engineered strain PTAPK4 exhibits higher lipid content and produces higher lipid concentration than the wild type strain when it was cultivated in media containing different C/N ratios. In a bioreactor process performed on glucose/xylose mixture, to simulate an industrial process for lipid production from lignocellulosic materials, we obtained an increase of 89% in final lipid concentration by the engineered strain in comparison to the wild type. This indicates that the transformed strain can produce higher cellular biomass with a high lipid content than the wild type. The transformed strain furthermore evidenced the advantage over the wild type in performing this process, being the lipid yields 0.13 and 0.05, respectively. CONCLUSION Our results show that the overexpression of homologous Xfpk and heterologous Pta activities in R. azoricum creates a new cytosolic AcCoA supply that decouples lipid production from nitrogen starvation. This metabolic modification allows improving lipid production in cultural conditions that can be suitable for the development of industrial bioprocesses using lignocellulosic hydrolysates.

Abstract
Microbial oils are proposed as a suitable alternative to petroleum-based chemistry in terms of environmental preservation. These oils have traditionally been studied using sugar-based feedstock, which implies high costs, substrate limitation, and high contamination risks. In this sense, low-cost carbon sources such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are envisaged as promising building blocks for lipid biosynthesis to produce oil-based bioproducts. VFAs can be generated from a wide variety of organic wastes through anaerobic digestion and further converted into lipids by oleaginous yeasts (OYs) in a fermentation process. These microorganisms can accumulate in the form of lipid bodies, lipids of up to 60% wt/wt of their biomass. In this context, OY is a promising biotechnological tool for biofuel and bioproduct generation using low-cost VFA media as substrates. This review covers recent advances in microbial oil production from VFAs. Production of VFAs via anaerobic digestion processes and the involved metabolic pathways are reviewed. The main challenges as well as recent approaches for lipid overproduction are also discussed.

Abstract
Background Mitochondrial and cytoplasmic malate transporter proteins are responsible for transmembrane transport of malate, thereby linking malate metabolism in various subcellular regions of the cell. These transporters play an important role in fatty acid biosynthesis of oleaginous microorganisms. Our previous studies have found that lipid content of the recombinant Mucor circinelloides (M. circinelloides) strain with mitochondrial malate transporter (mt) gene overexpression was increased by 70%, while that of strain with mt gene knockout was decreased by 27%. However, the mechanism of malate transporter promoting the transport of mitochondrial malate and citrate related to lipid accumulation is not clear. Therefore, 13C-labeled glucose metabolic flux analysis was carried out to identify the metabolic network topology and estimate intracellular fluxes of genetically engineered M. circinelloides strains for the purpose of better understanding the roles of malate transporters in citrate transport systems and lipid accumulation. Results The metabolic flux distribution analysis suggested that tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux ratio of mt-overexpression strains was decreased compared to that of the control strain, but in contrast, glyoxylic acid (GOX) cycle flux ratio was increased. Accordingly, the mt-knockout strain showed an opposite phenomenon with a higher TCA cycle flux ratio and a lower GOX cycle flux ratio than the control strain. GOX cycle might be more effective than TCA cycle in producing malate and oxaloacetate replenishment. Moreover, a relatively higher flux ratio of the pentose phosphate (PP) pathway was obtained in mt-overexpression strains, but no significant difference in the malic enzyme flux between recombinant strains and the control strain. Our results confirmed that PP pathway might play an important role for supplying NADPH and malic enzyme is not a limiting factor for fatty acid synthesis in oleaginous fungus M. circinelloides strains. Conclusion Intracellular metabolic flux information suggested that mt-overexpression strains had higher flux in PP pathway and GOX cycle, lower flux in TCA cycle, and no difference in malic enzyme cycle. Together, the role of malate transporter was assumed to further participate in transporting cycle of acetyl-CoA and drive PP pathway to supply NADPH required for lipid accumulation in recombinant M. circinelloides strains.

Abstract
An integration of bio-H2 with fungal biodiesel production process was investigated. Highest cumulative H2 production of 3.3 ± 0.20 L L-1 was observed during media optimization using mixture design. Using optimized media composition, continuous H2 production at 0.2 h-1 dilution rate, showed highest H2 production rate, H2 yield and biomass yield of 1020 ± 23 mL L-1 h-1, 2.8 ± 0.1 mols mol-1 reducing sugar and 1.2 ± 0.06 g L-1, respectively. Using the spent media generated from the dark fermentation, oleaginous yeast cultivation was done. Highest biomass and total lipid yield of 6.4 ± 0.20 g L-1 and 0.46 ± 0.04 g g-1 was observed at initial 15% v/v inoculums strength, pH of 5, 1.5 L min-1 aeration rate and 25 °C temperature of cultivation, respectively. Energy recovery improved by 90.3% in integrated process when compared with single stage hydrogen production.

Abstract
The biosynthetic pathways for most lipophilic metabolites share several common principles. These substances are built almost exclusively from acetyl-CoA as the donor for the carbon scaffold and NADPH is required for the reductive steps during biosynthesis. Due to their hydrophobicity, the end products are sequestered into the same cellular compartment, the lipid droplet. In this review, we will summarize the efforts in the metabolic engineering of yeasts for the production of two major hydrophobic substance classes, fatty acid-based lipids and isoprenoids, with regard to these common aspects. We will compare and discuss the results of genetic engineering strategies to construct strains with enhanced synthesis of the precursor acetyl-CoA and with modified redox metabolism for improved NADPH supply. We will also discuss the role of the lipid droplet in the storage of the hydrophobic product and review the strategies to either optimize this organelle for higher capacity or to achieve excretion of the product into the medium.

Abstract
Used kitchen oil represents a feasible and renewable biomass to produce green biofuels such as biodiesel. Biodiesel production generates large amounts of by-products such as the crude glycerol fraction, which can be further used biotechnologically as a valuable nutrient for many microorganisms. In this study, we transesterified used kitchen oil with methanol and sodium hydroxide in order to obtain biodiesel and crude glycerol fractions. The crude glycerol fraction consisting of 30% glycerol was integrated into a bioreactor cultivation process as a nutrient source for the growth of Candida zeylanoides ATCC 20367. Cell viability and biomass production were similar to those obtained with batch cultivations on pure glycerol or glucose as the main nutrient substrates. However, the biosynthesis of organic acids (e.g., citric and succinic) was significantly different compared to pure glycerol and glucose used as main carbon sources.

Abstract
Diversified mixed confectionery waste streams were utilized in a two-stage bioprocess to formulate a nutrient-rich fermentation media for microbial oil production. Solid-state fermentation was conducted for the production of crude enzyme consortia to be subsequently applied in hydrolytic reactions to break down starch, disaccharides, and proteins into monosaccharides, amino acids, and peptides. Crude hydrolysates were evaluated in bioconversion processes using the red yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides DSM 4444 both in batch and fed-batch mode. Under nitrogen-limiting conditions, during fed-batch cultures, the concentration of microbial lipids reached 16.6-17 g·L-1 with the intracellular content being more than 40% (w/w) in both hydrolysates applied. R. toruloides was able to metabolize mixed carbon sources without catabolite repression. The fatty acid profile of the produced lipids was altered based on the substrate employed in the bioconversion process. Microbial lipids were rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, with oleic acid being the major fatty acid (61.7%, w/w). This study showed that mixed food side-streams could be valorized for the production of microbial oil with high unsaturation degree, pointing towards the potential to produce tailor-made lipids for specific food applications. Likewise, the proposed process conforms unequivocally to the principles of the circular economy, as the entire quantity of confectionery by-products are implemented to generate added-value compounds that will find applications in the same original industry, thus closing the loop.

Sources of microbial oils with emphasis to Mortierella (Umbelopsis) isabellina fungus. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2019; 35:63. [PMID: 30923965 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-019-2631-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2018] [Accepted: 03/08/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
The last years a constantly rising number of publications have appeared in the literature in relation to the production of oils and fats deriving from microbial sources (the "single cell oils"-SCOs). SCOs can be used as precursors for the synthesis of lipid-based biofuels or employed as substitutes of expensive oils rarely found in the plant or animal kingdom. In the present review-article, aspects concerning SCOs (economics, biochemistry, substrates, technology, scale-up), with emphasis on the potential of Mortierella isabellina were presented. Fats and hydrophilic substrates have been used as carbon sources for cultivating Zygomycetes. Among them, wild-type M. isabellina strains have been reported as excellent SCO-producers, with conversion yields on sugar consumed and lipid in DCW values reported comparable to the maximum ones achieved for genetically engineered SCO-producing strains. Lipids produced on glucose contain γ-linolenic acid (GLA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) of high dietary and pharmaceutical importance, though in low concentrations. Nevertheless, due to their abundance in oleic acid, these lipids are perfect precursors for the synthesis of 2nd generation biodiesel, while GLA can be recovered and directed to other usages. Genetic engineering focusing on over-expression of Δ6 and Δ12 desaturases and of C16 elongase may improve the fatty acid composition (viz. increasing the concentration of GLA or other nutritionally important PUFAs) of these lipids.

Co-utilization of acidified glycerol pretreated-sugarcane bagasse for microbial oil production by a novel Rhodosporidium strain. Eng Life Sci 2019; 19:217-228.

Abstract
Acidified glycerol pretreatment is very effective to deconstruct lignocellulosics for producing glucose. Co-utilization of pretreated biomass and residual glycerol to bioproducts could reduce the costs associated with biomass wash and solvent recovery. In this study, a novel strain Rhodosporidium toruloides RP 15, isolated from sugarcane bagasse, was selected and tested for coconversion of pretreated biomass and residual glycerol to microbial oils. In the screening trails, Rh. toruloides RP 15 demonstrated the highest oil production capacity on glucose, xylose, and glycerol among the 10 strains. At the optimal C:N molar ratio of 140:1, this strain accumulated 56.7, 38.3, and 54.7% microbial oils based on dry cell biomass with 30 g/L glucose, xylose, and glycerol, respectively. Furthermore, sugarcane bagasse medium containing 32.6 g/L glucose from glycerol-pretreated bagasse and 23.4 g/L glycerol from pretreatment hydrolysate were used to produce microbial oils by Rh. toruloides RP 15. Under the preliminary conditions without pH control, this strain produced 7.7 g/L oil with an oil content of 59.8%, which was comparable or better than those achieved with a synthetic medium. In addition, this strain also produced 3.5 mg/L carotenoid as a by-product. It is expected that microbial oil production can be significantly improved through process optimization.

Production of Added-Value Chemical Compounds through Bioconversions of Olive-Mill Wastewaters Blended with Crude Glycerol by a Yarrowia lipolytica Strain. Molecules 2019; 24:E222. [PMID: 30634450 PMCID: PMC6359483 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24020222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2018] [Revised: 12/21/2018] [Accepted: 12/31/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Olive mill wastewaters (OMW) are the major effluent deriving from olive oil production and are considered as one of the most challenging agro-industrial wastes to treat. Crude glycerol is the main by-product of alcoholic beverage and oleochemical production activities including biodiesel production. The tremendous quantities of glycerol produced worldwide represent a serious environmental challenge. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of Yarrowia lipolytica strain ACA-DC 5029 to grow on nitrogen-limited submerged shake-flask cultures, in crude glycerol and OMW blends as well as in media with high initial glycerol concentration and produce biomass, cellular lipids, citric acid and polyols. The rationale of using such blends was the dilution of concentrated glycerol by OMW to (partially or fully) replace process tap water with a wastewater stream. The strain presented satisfactory growth in blends; citric acid production was not affected by OMW addition (Citmax~37.0 g/L, YCit/Glol~0.55 g/g) and microbial oil accumulation raised proportionally to OMW addition (Lmax~2.0 g/L, YL/X~20% w/w). Partial removal of color (~30%) and phenolic compounds (~10% w/w) of the blended media occurred. In media with high glycerol concentration, a shift towards erythritol production was noted (Erymax~66.0 g/L, YEry/Glol~0.39 g/g) simultaneously with high amounts of produced citric acid (Citmax~79.0 g/L, YCit/Glol~0.46 g/g). Fatty acid analysis of microbial lipids demonstrated that OMW addition in blended media and in excess carbon media with high glycerol concentration favored oleic acid production.

Abstract
The biotechnological potential of Yarrowia lipolytica, as a single cell oil-producing microorganism, is presented in this review. Although initially this yeast species was considered as a lipid-degrading, recently, it was reclassified as a lipid-producing microorganism, since it has been reported to be capable of accumulating diverse desirable fatty acids after metabolic pathway engineering. In the first part of the present document, a general revision of the oil metabolic pathways and the capacity of oil production in Y. lipolytica is presented. The single cell oil produced by these metabolic engineering strategies has been designed by optimization, introduction, or suppression of new pathways to increase yield on lipid production. Later on, the genetic regulation systems and the lipid composition generated by this yeast for industrial purposes are discussed. These lipids could be safely used in the chemical food and biofuel industries, due to their high proportion of oleic acid. This document emphasizes in the overviewing at Y. lipolytica as an ideal oil cell factory, and as an excellent model to produce single cell oil.

Abstract
An integrated microbial oil production process consisting of acidified glycerol pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse, enzymatic hydrolysis, microbial oil production by Mortierella isabellina NRRL 1757 and oil recovery by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of fungal biomass in fermentation broth was assessed in this study. Following pretreatment, the effect of residual pretreatment hydrolysate (containing glycerol) on enzymatic hydrolysis was firstly studied. The residual pretreatment hydrolysate (corresponding to 2.0–7.5% glycerol) improved glucan enzymatic digestibilities by 10–11% compared to the enzymatic hydrolysis in water (no buffer). Although residual pretreatment hydrolysate at 2.0–5.0% glycerol slightly inhibited the consumption of glucose in enzymatic hydrolysate by M. isabellina NRRL 1757, it did not affect microbial oil production due to the consumption of similar amounts of total carbon sources including glycerol. When the cultivation was scaled-up to a 1 L bioreactor, glucose was consumed more rapidly but glycerol assimilation was inhibited. Finally, HTL of fungal biomass in fermentation broth without any catalyst at 340 °C for 60 min efficiently recovered microbial oils from fungal biomass and achieved a bio-oil yield of 78.7% with fatty acids being the dominant oil components (∼89%). HTL also led to the hydrogenation of less saturated fatty acids (C18:2 and C18:3) to more saturated forms (C18:0 and C18:1). A microbial oil production process consisting of acidified glycerol pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse, enzymatic hydrolysis, microbial oil production by M. isabellina NRRL 1757 and oil recovery by hydrothermal liquefaction of fungal biomass in fermentation broth was assessed.![]()

Abstract
Biodiesel and single cell oils obtained from oleaginous yeasts grown in industrial waste are attractive alternatives to the conventional fuels. However, there are only few articles dealing with the stability of the microbial biofuels. Hence, this study aimed at characterizing the storage time of biodiesels using Rancimat methods. The microbial oil and the biodiesel obtained from microbial oil have been characterized with storage stability due to various oxidizing and thermal damage. Here, the microbial fuels were subject to Rancimat analysis and found to have high thermal-oxidative stability of 18 and 8.78 h for biodiesel and oil, respectively. The storage stability resulting from storage conditions was extrapolated for biodiesel and oil and has been found to be 1.62 and 0.54 years, respectively. The infrared spectroscopic analysis reveals the degree of oxidation found after the induction time was reached and shows the characteristic peaks for degradation products. Gas chromatography revealed the compounds that were responsible for the stability as well as the amount of degradation products left.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oleaginous fungi are efficient tools to convert agricultural waste streams into valuable components. The filamentous fungus Mucor circinelloides was cultivated in whey permeate, a byproduct from cheese production, to produce an oil-rich fungal biomass. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the fermentation conditions such as pH and temperature for increased biomass yield and lipid accumulation. Quantification and characterization of the fungal biomass oil was conducted. RESULTS Upstream lactose hydrolysis of the whey permeate increased the biomass yield from 2.4 to 7.8 (g dry biomass/L) compared to that of non-hydrolyzed whey permeate. The combination of low pH (4.5) and pasteurization minimized microbial competition, thus favoring fungal growth. A central composite rotatable design was used to evaluate the effects of temperature (22.4-33.6 °C) and a lower pH range (3.6-4.7) on biomass yield and composition. The highest biomass yield and oil content was observed at high temperature (33.6 °C), while the pH range evaluated had a less pronounced effect. The predictive model was validated at the optimal conditions of 33.6 °C and pH 4.5. The fungal biomass yield plateaued at 9 g dry cell weight per liter, while the oil content and lipid yield reached a maximum of 24% dry biomass and 2.20 g/L, respectively, at 168 h. Triacylglycerides were the major lipid class (92%), which contained predominantly oleic (41%), palmitic (23%), linoleic (11%), and γ-linolenic acid (9%). CONCLUSIONS This study provided an alternative way of valorization of cheese whey permeate by using it as a substrate for the production of value-added compounds by fungal fermentation. The fatty acid profile indicates the suitability of M. circinelloides oil as a potential feedstock for biofuel production and nutraceutical applications.

Abstract
The occurrence of NADP+-dependent malic enzymes (NADP+-MEs) in several Rhodococcus strains was analysed. The NADP+-ME number in Rhodococcus genomes seemed to be a strain-dependent property. Total NADP+-ME activity increased by 1.8- and 2.6-fold in the oleaginous Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 and Rhodococcus opacus PD630 strains during cultivation under nitrogen-limiting conditions. Total NADP+-ME activity inhibition by sesamol resulted in a significant decrease of the cellular biomass and lipid production in oleaginous rhodococci. A non-redundant ME coded by the RHA1_RS44255 gene located in a megaplasmid (pRHL3) of R. jostii RHA1 was characterized and its heterologous expression in Escherichia coli resulted in a twofold increase in ME activity in an NADP+-dependent manner. The overexpression of RHA1_RS44255 in RHA1 and PD630 strains grown on glucose promoted an increase in total NADP+-ME activity and an up to 1.9-foldincrease in total fatty acid production without sacrificing cellular biomass. On the other hand, its expression in Rhodococcus fascians F7 grown on glycerol resulted in a 1.3-1.4-foldincrease in total fatty acid content. The results of this study confirmed the contribution of NADP+-MEs to TAG accumulation in oleaginous rhodococci and the utility of these enzymes as an alternative approach to increase bacterial oil production from different carbon sources.

Abstract
The present study is aimed to maximize biodiesel production by using the fungal strain Aspergillus wentii Ras101 as a feedstock. Response surface methodology was used to relate the interaction between some nutritional and environmental factors affecting the lipid productivity by A. wentii Ras101. By applying LINGO optimization program, the maximum lipid production of 40% dry biomass of this fungal isolate has been attained in a fermentation medium composed of 50 g/l glucose, 1 g/l nitrates, 1.5 g/l phosphorous, and 0.5 g/l NaCl. This medium was adjusted at pH of 6, and incubated at 28 °C for 7 days. The values of correlation errors between the experimental and estimated values are less than 1%; this proves that the proposed correlation could be used effectively for estimating the fungal lipid production. Consequently, the effects of time and temperature on the amount of biodiesel produced in the extraction and transesterification one-step process have been investigated. The maximum biodiesel production of 28% dry biomass (80% lipid) has been achieved in the transesterification process at 70 °C for 30 min. Additionally, it is found that the combination of glucose, nitrogen and phosphorous contents has a positive influence on lipid production in the fungal biomass. The density, kinematic viscosity, water content and calorific value of the produced biodiesel were 800 kg/m3, 2.8 mm2/s, 66 ppm and 10122 kcal/kg, respectively that matched well with biodiesel and fossil standard specifications.

Abstract
Fats, oils, and greases (FOGs) are a particular environmental threat. Biodegradation of FOGs is a challenge and in this study the biodegradation of waste cooking fats, namely butter and olive oil, was studied using a non-conventional yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica strain LFMB 20, and a bioaugmentation product consisting of Bacillus spp. and Pseudomonas putida CP1 strain. The microorganisms were grown aerobically in shake-flask experiments in an enriched medium supplemented with ca 0.85% w/v of waste fat. Analysis of the remaining substrate showed a removal of ca 90% of the fat by the yeast at the end of the incubation, while the bacteria removed ca 95% of both fats. Growth rate, biomass production and biomass yield per unit of fat consumed were all higher for the yeast compared to the bacterial consortium. The bacterial consortium exhibited autolysis and a significant decrease in its DCW value at the late growth phases of both fat substrate cultures. The main fatty acids (FAs) present in both fats were linoleic (Δ9,12C18:2), oleic (Δ9C18:1), palmitic (C16:0), palmitoleic (Δ9C16:1) and stearic (C18:0) acid. Both the bacterial consortium and Y. lipolytica preferentially removed Δ9C18:1 from the medium, while a negative selectivity against C18:0 was reported. Both inocula produced microbial mass that contained intra-cellular lipid quantities, but the bacterial consortium gave significantly higher lipid in DCW values compared with the yeast (maximum values up to ca 63% w/w for the butter and ca 42% w/w for the olive oil while the respective values for both lipids were 22% ± 2% w/w for Y. lipolytica). In all cases, intra-cellular lipids in DCW values decreased during the late growth phases, while their FA composition differed with those of the substrate fat.

Abstract
Heterologous expression is a landmark technique for studying a protein itself or its effect on the expression host, in which membrane-embedded proteins are a common choice. Yet, the impact of inserting a foreign protein to the lipid environment of host membranes, has never been addressed. Here we demonstrated that heterologous expression of the Artemia franciscana adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) in yeasts altered lipidomic composition of their inner mitochondrial membranes. Along with this, activities of complex II, IV and ATP synthase, all membrane-embedded components, were significantly decreased while their expression levels remained unaffected. Although the results represent an individual case of expressing a crustacean protein in yeast inner mitochondrial membranes, it cannot be excluded that host lipidome alterations is a more widespread epiphenomenon, potentially biasing heterologous expression experiments. Finally, our results raise the possibility that not only lipids modulate protein function, but also membrane-embedded proteins modulate lipid composition, thus revealing a reciprocal mode of regulation for these two biomolecular entities.
