J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:jof8121277. [PMID: 36547610 PMCID: PMC9784962 DOI: 10.3390/jof8121277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
In recent years, it was shown that itaconic acid can be produced from glucose with Ustilago strains at up to maximum theoretical yield. The use of acetate and formate as co-feedstocks can boost the efficiency of itaconate production with Ustilaginaceae wild-type strains by reducing the glucose amount and thus the agricultural land required for the biotechnological production of this chemical. Metabolically engineered strains (U. cynodontis Δfuz7 Δcyp3 ↑Pria1 and U. cynodontis Δfuz7 Δcyp3 PetefmttA ↑Pria1) were applied in itaconate production, obtaining a titer of 56.1 g L-1 and a yield of 0.55 gitaconate per gsubstrate. Both improved titer and yield (increase of 5.2 g L-1 and 0.04 gitaconate per gsubstrate, respectively) were achieved when using sodium formate as an auxiliary substrate. By applying the design-of-experiments (DoE) methodology, cultivation parameters (glucose, sodium formate and ammonium chloride concentrations) were optimized, resulting in two empirical models predicting itaconate titer and yield for U. cynodontis Δfuz7 Δcyp3 PetefmttA ↑Pria1. Thereby, an almost doubled itaconate titer of 138 g L-1 was obtained and a yield of 0.62 gitaconate per gsubstrate was reached during confirmation experiments corresponding to 86% of the theoretical maximum. In order to close the carbon cycle by production of the co-feed via a "power-to-X" route, the biphasic Ru-catalysed hydrogenation of CO2 to formate could be integrated into the bioprocess directly using the obtained aqueous solution of formates as co-feedstock without any purification steps, demonstrating the (bio)compatibility of the two processes.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of CO2 and hydrogen to methanol was achieved in a self-separating multiphasic system comprising the tailor-made complex [Ru(CO)ClH(MACHO-C12 )] (MACHO-C12 =bis{2-[bis(4-dodecylphenyl)phosphino]ethyl}amine) in n-decane as the catalyst phase. Effective catalyst recycling was demonstrated for the carbonate and the amine-assisted pathway from CO2 to methanol. The polar products MeOH or MeOH/H2 O generated from the catalytic reactions spontaneously formed a separate phase, allowing product isolation and catalyst separation without the need for any additional solvent. In the amine-assisted hydrogenation of CO2 , the catalyst phase was recycled over ten subsequent runs, reaching a total turnover number to MeOH of 19200 with an average selectivity of 96 %.

Abstract
In this perspective, we detail how solvent-based carbon capture integrated with conversion can be an important element in a net-zero emission economy. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is a promising approach for at-scale production of green CO2-derived fuels, chemicals and materials. The challenge is that CO2-derived materials and products have yet to reach market competitiveness because costs are significantly higher than those from conventional means. We present here the key to making CO2-derived products more efficiently and cheaper, integration of solvent-based CO2 capture and conversion. We present the fundamentals and benefits of integration within a changing energy landscape (i.e., CO2 from point source emissions transitioning to CO2 from the atmosphere), and how integration could lead to lower costs and higher efficiency, but more importantly how CO2 altered in solution can offer new reactive pathways to produce products that cannot be made today. We discuss how solvents are the key to integration, and how solvents can adapt to differing needs for capture, conversion and mineralisation in the near, intermediate and long term. We close with a brief outlook of this emerging field of study, and identify critical needs to achieve success, including establishing a green-premium for fuels, chemicals, and materials produced in this manner. In this perspective, we detail how solvent-based carbon capture integrated with conversion can be an important element in a net-zero emission economy.![]()

Abstract
The chemistry of urethanes plays a key role in important industrial processes. Although catalysts are often used, the study of the reactions without added catalysts provides the basis for a deeper understanding. For the non-catalytic urethane formation and cleavage reactions, the dominating reaction mechanism has long been debated. To our knowledge, the reaction kinetics have not been predicted quantitatively so far. Therefore, we report a new computational study of urethane formation and cleavage reactions. To analyze various potential reaction mechanisms and to predict the reaction rate constants quantum chemistry and transition state theory were employed. For validation, experimental data from literature and from own experiments were used. Quantitative agreement of experiments and predictions could be demonstrated. The calculations confirm earlier assumptions that urethane formation reactions proceed via mechanisms where alcohol molecules act as auto-catalysts. Our results show that it is essential to consider several transition states corresponding to different reaction orders to enable agreement with experimental observations. Urethane cleavage seems to be catalyzed by an isourethane, leading to an observed 2nd-order dependence of the reaction rate on the urethane concentration. The results of our study support a deeper understanding of the reactions as well as a better description of reaction kinetics and will therefore help in catalyst development and process optimization.
