Abstract
Exploring efficient and comprehensive utilization of agricultural waste to produce high value-added products has been global research hotspot. In this study, a novel process for integrated production of xylose and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from hemicellulose and cellulose in corncob was developed. Corncob was treated with dilute H2SO4 at 121 °C for 1 h and xylose was readily produced with a recovery yield of 79.35 %. The corncob residue was then subject to alkali pretreatment under optimized conditions of 0.1 g NaOH/g dry solid, 60 °C for 2 h, and the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in the resulting residue were 87.49 %, 7.58 % and 2.31 %, respectively. The cellulose in the residue was easily hydrolyzed by cellulase, yielding 74.87 g/L glucose with hydrolysis efficiency of 77.02 %. Remarkably, the corncob residue hydrolysate supported cell growth and DHA production in Schizochytrium sp. ATCC 20888 well, and the maximum biomass of 32.71 g/L and DHA yield of 4.63 g/L were obtained, with DHA percentage in total fatty acids of 36.89 %. This study demonstrates that the corncob residue generated during xylose production, rich in cellulose, can be effectively utilized for DHA production by Schizochytrium sp., offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to pure glucose.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 398:130537.

Abstract
Antioxidant addition is an effective strategy to achieve docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) overproduction in oleaginous microorganisms. Nevertheless, antioxidants like phenolic compounds sometimes exert pro-oxidant activity. In this work, effects of proanthocyanidins (PAs) on fermentation performance and oxidative stress in Schizochytrium sp. were investigated. Low PAs addition (5 mg/L) reduced reactive oxygen species and enhanced lipogenic enzymes activities and NADPH, resulting in significant increase in lipid (20.3 g/L) by 33.6 % and DHA yield (9.8 g/L) by 53.4 %. In contrast, high PAs addition (500 mg/L) exerted pro-oxidant effects, aggravated oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation, leading to sharp decrease in biomass (21.3 g/L) by 35.1 %, lipid (8.2 g/L) by 46.0 %, and DHA (2.9 g/L) by 54.8 %. Therefore, the antioxidant concentration is especially crucial in DHA production. This study is the first to report concentration-dependant dual roles of PAs in oxidative stress and DHA production in Schizochytrium sp., providing new insights into microbial DHA production.

Abstract
Diverse health benefits are associated with dietary consumption of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 LC-PUFA), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Traditionally, these fatty acids have been obtained from fish oil, but limited supply, variably quality, and an inability to sustainably increase production for a rapidly growing market, are driving the quest for alternative sources. DHA derived from certain marine protists (heterotrophic thraustochytrids) already has an established history of commercial production for high-value dietary use, but is too expensive for use in aquaculture feeds, a much larger potential market for ω-3 LC-PUFA. Sustainable expansion of aquaculture is prevented by its current dependence on wild-caught fish oil as the source of ω-3 LC-PUFA nutrients required in the diet of aquacultured animals. Although several thraustochytrids have been shown to produce DHA and EPA, there is a particular interest in Schizochytrium spp. (now Aurantiochytrium spp.), as some of the better producers. The need for larger scale production has resulted in development of many strategies for improving productivity and production economics of ω-3 PUFA in Schizochytrium spp. Developments in fermentation technology and metabolic engineering for enhancing LC-PUFA production in Schizochytrium spp. are reviewed.
