Ferric citrate enhanced bioreduction of Cr(VI) by Bacillus cereus RCr in aqueous solutions: reduction performance and mechanisms. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024:10.1007/s11356-024-34394-4. [PMID: 39042195 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-34394-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
The bioreduction characteristics and mechanisms of Cr(VI) onto Bacillus cereus RCr enhanced by ferric citrate were investigated. The optimum conditions were initial pH 9, temperature 40 °C, inoculation amount 4%, and glucose 3 g/L, respectively. The addition of 1.5 g/L ferric citrate increased the average reduction rate from 120.43 to 220.61 mg/(L∙h) compared with the control (without ferric citrate). The binding capacity of Cr(III) on the cell surface increased to 21%, in which the precipitates were mainly CrO(OH), Cr2O3, and FeCr2O4. Cell membrane was the main site of reduction, related important functional groups: - COOH, C-H, - NH2, C = C, and P-O. Fe(III) increased the yield of NADH and cytochrome c by approximately 48.51% and 68.63%, which significantly facilitated the electron generation and electron transfer, thus increasing the amount of electrons in the bioreduction of heavy metals by an average of 110%. Among the electrons obtained by Cr(VI), the proportion of indirect reduction mediated by Fe(III)/Fe(II) shuttle was 62% on average, whereas direct reduction mediated by reductase was 38%. These results may provide insights into the bioreduction process by bacteria enhanced by Fe(III) for detoxification of heavy metals with multiple valences, as an important step towards improving microbial remediation.

Abstract
Microbial metabolism influences the global climate and human health and is governed by the balance between NADH and NAD+ through redox reactions. Historically, oxidative (i.e., catabolism) and reductive (i.e., fermentation) pathways have been studied in isolation, obscuring the complete metabolic picture. However, new omics technologies and biotechnological tools now allow an integrated system-level understanding of the drivers of microbial metabolism through observation and manipulation of redox reactions. Here we present perspectives on the importance of viewing microbial metabolism as the dynamic interplay between oxidative and reductive processes and apply this framework to diverse microbial systems. Additionally, we highlight novel biotechnologies to monitor and manipulate microbial redox status to control metabolism in unprecedented ways. This redox-focused systems biology framework enables a more mechanistic understanding of microbial metabolism.

Abstract
Succinic acid (SA), one of the 12 top platform chemicals produced from biomass, is a precursor of various high value-added derivatives. Specially, 1 mol CO2 is assimilated in 1 mol SA biosynthetic route under anaerobic conditions, which helps to achieve carbon reduction goals. In this review, methods for enhanced CO2 fixation in SA production and utilization of waste biomass for SA production are reviewed. Bioelectrochemical and bioreactor coupling systems constructed with off-gas reutilization to capture CO2 more efficiently were highlighted. In addition, the techno-economic analysis and carbon sequestration benefits for the synthesis of bio-based SA from CO2 and waste biomass are analyzed. Finally, a droplet microfluidics-based high-throughput screening technique applied to the future bioproduction of SA is proposed as a promising approach.

Abstract
To date, many metabolic engineering tools and strategies have been developed, including tools for cofactor engineering, which is a common strategy for bioproduct synthesis. Cofactor engineering is used for the regulation of pyridine nucleotides, including NADH/NAD+ and NADPH/NADP+, and adenosine triphosphate/adenosine diphosphate (ATP/ADP), which is crucial for maintaining redox and energy balance. However, the intracellular levels of NADH/NAD+, NADPH/NADP+, and ATP/ADP cannot be monitored in real time using traditional methods. Recently, many biosensors for detecting, monitoring, and regulating the intracellular levels of NADH/NAD+, NADPH/NADP+, and ATP/ADP have been developed. Although cofactor biosensors have been mainly developed for use in mammalian cells, the potential application of cofactor biosensors in metabolic engineering in bacterial and yeast cells has received recent attention. Coupling cofactor biosensors with genetic circuits is a promising strategy in metabolic engineering for optimizing the production of biochemicals. In this review, we focus on the development of biosensors for NADH/NAD+, NADPH/NADP+, and ATP/ADP and the potential application of these biosensors in metabolic engineering. We also provide critical perspectives, identify current research challenges, and provide guidance for future research in this promising field.

Abstract
Androsta-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD), androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD), and 9α-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (9-OHAD), which belong to C-19 steroids, are critical steroid-based drug intermediates. The biotransformation of phytosterols into C-19 steroids by Mycolicibacterium cell factories is the core step in the synthesis of steroid-based drugs. The production performance of engineered mycolicibacterial strains has been effectively enhanced by sterol core metabolic modification. In recent years, research on the non-core metabolic pathway of steroids (NCMS) in mycolicibacterial strains has made significant progress. This review discusses the molecular mechanisms and metabolic modifications of NCMS for accelerating sterol uptake, regulating coenzyme I balance, promoting propionyl-CoA metabolism, reducing reactive oxygen species, and regulating energy metabolism. In addition, the recent applications of biotechnology in steroid intermediate production are summarized and compared, and the future development trend of NCMS research is discussed. This review provides powerful theoretical support for metabolic regulation in the biotransformation of phytosterols.

Abstract
Bioplastics are polymers made from sustainable bio-based feedstocks. While the potential of producing bio-based monomers in microbes has been investigated for decades, their economic feasibility is still unsatisfactory compared with petroleum-derived methods. To improve the overall synthetic efficiency of microbial cell factories, three main strategies were summarized in this review: firstly, implementing approaches to improve the microbial utilization ability of cheap and abundant substrates; secondly, developing methods at enzymes, pathway, and cellular levels to enhance microbial production performance; thirdly, building technologies to enhance microbial pH, osmotic, and metabolites stress tolerance. Moreover, the challenges of, and some perspectives on, exploiting microorganisms as efficient cell factories for producing bio-based monomers are also discussed.

Abstract
Recently, bio-based manufacturing processes of value-added platform chemicals and polymers in biorefineries using renewable resources have extensively been developed for sustainable and carbon dioxide (CO2) neutral-based industry. Among them, bio-based diamines, aminocarboxylic acids, and diacids have been used as monomers for the synthesis of polyamides having different carbon numbers and ubiquitous and versatile industrial polymers and also as precursors for further chemical and biological processes to afford valuable chemicals. Until now, these platform bio-chemicals have successfully been produced by biorefinery processes employing enzymes and/or microbial host strains as main catalysts. In this review, we discuss recent advances in bio-based production of diamines, aminocarboxylic acids, and diacids, which has been developed and improved by systems metabolic engineering strategies of microbial consortia and optimization of microbial conversion processes including whole cell bioconversion and direct fermentative production.

Abstract
Synthetic biology has boosted the rapid development on using non-methylotrophy as chassis for value added chemicals production from one-carbon feedstocks, such as methanol and formic acid. The one-carbon dissimilation pathway can provide more NADH than monosaccharides including glucose, which is conducive for reductive chemicals production, such as succinic acid. In this study, the one-carbon dissimilation pathway was introduced in E. coli Suc260 to enhance the succinic acid production capability. Through the rational construction of methanol dissimilation pathway, the succinic acid yield was increased from 0.91 to 0.95 g/g with methanol and sodium formate as auxiliary substrates in anaerobic fed-batch fermentation. Furthermore, the metabolic flux of by-product pyruvate was redirected to succinic acid together with the CO2 fixation. Finally, through the immobilization on a specially designed glycosylated membrane, E. coli cells are more resistant to adverse environments, and the final yield of succinic acid was improved to 0.98 g/g. This study proved the feasibility of endowing producers with methanol dissimilation pathway to enhance the production of reductive metabolites.

Abstract
Succinic acid, a dicarboxylic acid produced as an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, is one of the most important platform chemicals for the production of various high value-added derivatives. As traditional chemical synthesis processes suffer from nonrenewable resources and environment pollution, succinic acid biosynthesis has drawn increasing attention as a viable, more environmentally friendly alternative. To date, several metabolic engineering approaches have been utilized for constructing and optimizing succinic acid cell factories. In this review, different succinic acid biosynthesis pathways are summarized, with a focus on the key enzymes and metabolic engineering approaches, which mainly include redirecting carbon flux, balancing NADH/NAD+ ratios, and optimizing CO2 supplementation. Finally, future perspectives on the microbial production of succinic acid are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ethyl acetate (C4H8O2) and hydrogen (H2) are industrially relevant compounds that preferably are produced via sustainable, non-petrochemical production processes. Both compounds are volatile and can be produced by Escherichia coli before. However, relatively low yields for hydrogen are obtained and a mix of by-products renders the sole production of hydrogen by micro-organisms unfeasible. High yields for ethyl acetate have been achieved, but accumulation of formate remained an undesired but inevitable obstacle. Coupling ethyl acetate production to the conversion of formate into H2 may offer an interesting solution to both drawbacks. Ethyl acetate production requires equimolar amounts of ethanol and acetyl-CoA, which enables a redox neutral fermentation, without the need for production of by-products, other than hydrogen and CO2. RESULTS We engineered Escherichia coli towards improved conversion of formate into H2 and CO2 by inactivating the formate hydrogen lyase repressor (hycA), both uptake hydrogenases (hyaAB, hybBC) and/or overexpressing the hydrogen formate lyase activator (fhlA), in an acetate kinase (ackA) and lactate dehydrogenase (ldhA)-deficient background strain. Initially 10 strains, with increasing number of modifications were evaluated in anaerobic serum bottles with respect to growth. Four reference strains ΔldhAΔackA, ΔldhAΔackA p3-fhlA, ΔldhAΔackAΔhycAΔhyaABΔhybBC and ΔldhAΔackAΔhycAΔhyaABΔhybBC p3-fhlA were further equipped with a plasmid carrying the heterologous ethanol acyltransferase (Eat1) from Wickerhamomyces anomalus and analyzed with respect to their ethyl acetate and hydrogen co-production capacity. Anaerobic co-production of hydrogen and ethyl acetate via Eat1 was achieved in 1.5-L pH-controlled bioreactors. The cultivation was performed at 30 °C in modified M9 medium with glucose as the sole carbon source. Anaerobic conditions and gas stripping were established by supplying N2 gas. CONCLUSIONS We showed that the engineered strains co-produced ethyl acetate and hydrogen to yields exceeding 70% of the pathway maximum for ethyl acetate and hydrogen, and propose in situ product removal via gas stripping as efficient technique to isolate the products of interest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Succinic acid (SA) is a crucial metabolic intermediate and platform chemical. Development of biobased processes to achieve sustainable SA production has attracted more and more attention in biotechnology industry. Yarrowia lipolytica has a strong tricarboxylic acid cycle and tolerates low pH conditions, thus making it a potential platform for SA production. However, its SA titers in glucose media remain low. RESULTS In this study, we screened mitochondrial carriers and C4-dicarboxylic acid transporters to enhance SA secretion in Y. lipolytica. PGC62-SYF-Mae strain with efficient growth and SA production was constructed by optimizing SA biosynthetic pathways and expressing the transporter SpMae1. In fed-batch fermentation, this strain produced 101.4 g/L SA with a productivity of 0.70 g/L/h and a yield of 0.37 g/g glucose, which is the highest SA titer achieved using yeast, with glucose as the sole carbon resource. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that transporter engineering is a powerful strategy to achieve the efficient secretion of SA in Y. lipolytica, which will promote the industrial production of bio-based SA.

Abstract
The biotransformation of phytosterol to androstenedione (AD) by mycobacteria is a unique process accompanied by energy-producing. However, high intracellular ATP content can severely inhibit the efficient production of AD. In this study, a novel citrate-based ATP futile cycle (AFC) and pyruvate-based AFC were constructed for the first time. Application of AFCs reduced intracellular ATP and propionyl-CoA levels and increased NAD+/NADH ratios and cell viability. The forced consumption of ATP promotes the transcription of critical genes in propionyl-CoA metabolism. The synergistic effect of enhanced propionyl-CoA metabolism and AFC increased AD conversion yield from 60.6% to 97.3%. The AD productivity was further improved by repeated batch fermentation using untreated cane molasses. The maximum productivity was 181% higher than that of the original strain. Therefore, the strategy of combining AFC and repeated batch fermentation is a valuable tool for the efficient and low-cost production of AD and other steroidal pharmaceutical precursors.

Abstract
Production of bio-based alternative of succinic acid (SA) has been growing due to the awareness on environmental advantages it offers, such as CO2 sequestration. Current study focuses on evaluating the impact of different CO2 partial pressures (0.6, 0.8, 1, 2 bar) on SA production and yield as well as on other parameters like acids profile and CO2 fixation rate in Citrobacter amalonaticus. Increasing partial pressure to 2 bar enhanced SA production and maximum of 14.86 gL-1 was achieved with a productivity of 0.36 gL-1h-1 and yield of 52.10%. Varying partial pressures depicted significant influence on total acids profile, where at lower pressures (0.6 bar) lactic (5.6 gL-1) and acetic acids (4.1 gL-1) became dominant products, while concentration of SA was 2.07 gL-1, by the end of cycle. The desirable effect of moderately elevated pressures for converting CO2 to platform chemicals can be a potential strategy in overcoming current challenges related to CO2 abatement.

Abstract
Biological sequestration of CO2 for generating value added products is an emerging strategy. Succinic acid (SA) is an important C4 building block chemical, and its biological production via CO2 sequestration, holds many practical applications. This study presents an in-depth insight on SA production using isolated strain belonging to genus Citrobacter, more closely related to Citrobacter amalonaticus by considering critical process parameters such as different carbon sources at various initial concentrations, buffering agent (NaHCO3) concentrations and different pH conditions. The effect of H2 gas as an electron donor and availability of CO2 during SA production was also evaluated. The results from this work demonstrated that the isolated strain depicted the ability to utilize diverse carbon sources and highest SA production was achieved with sucrose as a substrate, indicating that reduced carbon substrates help in maximizing the redox potential. Incorporation of CO2 and H2 not only enhanced the production of SA but also affected the total acids profile favoring the production of SA over lactic, formic and acetic acids. Additional supply of CO2 and H2 led to maximum SA production of 12.07 gL-1, productivity of 0.36 gL-1 h-1 and SA yield of 48.5%. In control operation when no gases were supplied and in other test conditions where either of the gases were supplied, lactic acid was the major end product followed by acetic acid. The positive effect of CO2 for SA production provides scope for sustainable integration of SA and the CO2-generating biofuel industries or industrial side streams.

Abstract
Acetaldehyde is synthesized by yeast during the main fermentation period of beer production, which causes an unpleasant off-flavor. Therefore, there has been extensive effort toward reducing acetaldehyde to obtain a beer product with better flavor and anti-staling ability. In this study, we discovered that acetaldehyde production in beer brewing is closely related with the intracellular NADH equivalent regulated by the citric acid cycle. However, there was no significant relationship between acetaldehyde production and amino acid metabolism. A reverse engineering strategy to increase the intracellular NADH/NAD+ ratio reduced the final acetaldehyde production level, and vice versa. This work offers new insight into acetaldehyde metabolism and further provides efficient strategies for reducing acetaldehyde production by the regulating the intracellular NADH/NAD+ ratio through cofactor engineering.

Abstract
Acetate is a potential low-cost carbon source that can be generated by biological and chemical processes. In this study, deletion of sdhAB encoding succinate dehydrogenase, iclR encoding the isocitrate lyase regulator, and maeB encoding the malic enzyme, and overexpression of acs encoding acetyl-CoA synthetase, gltA encoding citrate synthase, and acnB encoding aconitate hydratase in the wild-type Escherichia coli MG1655 strain yielded the recombinant E. coli strain WCY-7, which could synthesize succinate from acetate. After 48 h batch fermentation, this strain accumulated 11.23 mM succinate from 50 mM sodium acetate. This work indicates that microbial fermentation using acetate as the sole carbon source may be a suitable route to produce high yields of the valuable chemicals.

Abstract
Background Glucose is the main carbon source of E. coli and a typical substrate in production processes. The main glucose uptake system is the glucose specific phosphotransferase system (Glc-PTS). The PTS couples glucose uptake with its phosphorylation. This is achieved by the concomitant conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate. The Glc-PTS is hence unfavorable for the production of succinate as this product is derived from PEP. Results We studied, in a systematic manner, the effect of knocking out the Glc-PTS and of replacing it with the glucose facilitator (Glf) of Zymomonas mobilis on succinate yield and productivity. For this study a set of strains derived from MG1655, carrying deletions of ackA-pta, adhE and ldhA that prevent the synthesis of competing fermentation products, were constructed and tested in two-stage cultivations. The data show that inactivation of the Glc-PTS achieved a considerable increase in succinate yield and productivity. On the other hand, aerobic growth of this strain on glucose was strongly decreased. Expression of the alternative glucose transporter, Glf, in this strain enhanced aerobic growth but productivity and yield under anaerobic conditions were slightly decreased. This decrease in succinate yield was accompanied by pyruvate production. Yield could be increased in both Glc-PTS mutants by overexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck). Productivity on the other hand, was decreased in the strain without alternative glucose transporter but strongly increased in the strain expressing Glf. The experiments were complemented by flux balance analysis in order to check the observed yields against the maximal theoretical yields. Furthermore, the phosphorylation state of EIIAGlc was determined. The data indicate that the ratio of PEP to pyruvate is correlating with pyruvate excretion. This ratio is affected by the PTS reaction as well as by further reactions at the PEP/pyruvate node. Conclusions The results show that for optimization of succinate yield and productivity it is not sufficient to knock out or introduce single reactions. Rather, balancing of the fluxes of central metabolism most important at the PEP/pyruvate node is important.

Abstract
Shikimate is an important intermediate in the aromatic amino acid pathway, which can be used as a promising building block for the synthesis of biological compounds, such as neuraminidase inhibitor Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®). Compared with traditional methods, microbial production of shikimate has the advantages of environmental friendliness, low cost, feed stock renewability, and product selectivity and diversity, thus receiving more and more attentions. The development of metabolic engineering allows for high-efficiency production of shikimate of Escherichia coli by improving the intracellular level of precursors, blocking downstream pathway, releasing negative regulation factors, and overexpressing rate-limiting enzymes. In addition, novel technologies derived from systems and synthetic biology have opened a new avenue towards construction of shikimate-producing strains. This review summarized successful and applicable strategies derived from traditional metabolic engineering and novel technologies for increasing accumulation of shikimate in E. coli.
