[PMID: 38327454 PMCID: PMC10848017 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Succinic acid (SA) production is continuously rising, as its applications in diverse end-product generation are getting broader and more expansive. SA is an eco-friendly bulk product that acts as a valuable intermediate in different processes and might substitute other petrochemical-based products due to the inner capacity of microbes to biosynthesize it. Moreover, large amounts of SA can be obtained through biotechnological ways starting from renewable resources, imprinting at the same time the concept of a circular economy. In this context, the target of the present review paper is to bring an overview of SA market demands, production, biotechnological approaches, new strategies of production, and last but not least, the possible limitations and the latest perspectives in terms of natural biosynthesis of SA.

Abstract
Anaerobic succinate fermentations can achieve high-titer, high-yield performance while fixing CO2 through the reductive branch of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. To provide the needed CO2, conventional media is supplemented with significant (up to 60 g/L) bicarbonate (HCO3-), and/or carbonate (CO32-) salts. However, producing these salts from CO2 and natural ores is thermodynamically unfavorable and, thus, energetically costly, which reduces the overall sustainability of the process. Here, a series of composite hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) were first fabricated, after which comprehensive CO2 mass transfer measurements were performed under cell-free conditions using a novel, constant-pH method. Lumen pressure and total HFM surface area were found to be linearly correlated with the flux and volumetric rate of CO2 delivery, respectively. Novel HFM bioreactors were then constructed and used to comprehensively investigate the effects of modulating the CO2 delivery rate on succinate fermentations by engineered Escherichia coli. Through appropriate tuning of the design and operating conditions, it was ultimately possible to produce up to 64.5 g/L succinate at a glucose yield of 0.68 g/g; performance approaching that of control fermentations with directly added HCO3-/CO32- salts and on par with prior studies. HFMs were further found to demonstrate a high potential for repeated reuse. Overall, HFM-based CO2 delivery represents a viable alternative to the addition of HCO3-/CO32- salts to succinate fermentations, and likely other 'dark' CO2-fixing fermentations.

Pol J Microbiol 2023; 72:399-411.

Abstract
Acetic acid (AC) is a major by-product from fermentation processes for producing succinic acid (SA) using Actinobacillus succinogenes. Previous experiments have demonstrated that sodium bisulfate (NaHSO3) can significantly decrease AC production by A. succinogenes GXAS137 during SA fermentation. However, the mechanism of AC reduction is poorly understood. In this study, the transcriptional profiles of the strain were compared through Illumina RNA-seq to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A total of 210 DEGs were identified by expression analysis: 83 and 127 genes up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively, in response to NaHSO3 treatment. The functional annotation analysis of DEGs showed that the genes were mainly involved in carbohydrates, inorganic ions, amino acid transport, metabolism, and energy production and conversion. The mechanisms of AC reduction might be related to two aspects: (i) the lipoic acid synthesis pathway (LipA, LipB) was significantly down-regulated, which blocked the pathway catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex to synthesize acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) from pyruvate; (ii) the expression level of the gene encoding bifunctional acetaldehyde-alcohol dehydrogenase was significantly up-regulated, and this effect facilitated the synthesis of ethanol from acetyl-CoA. However, the reaction of NaHSO3 with the intermediate metabolite acetaldehyde blocked the production of ethanol and consumed acetyl-CoA, thereby decreasing AC production. Thus, our study provides new insights into the molecular mechanism of AC decreased underlying the treatment of NaHSO3 and will deepen the understanding of the complex regulatory mechanisms of A. succinogenes.

Abstract
In this work, the electrolytic process conditions for the electrochemical oxidation (EO) of composting leachate biochemical effluent (CLBE) were optimized via the response surface methodology (RSM). Meanwhile, a comparative study had been done on the failure characteristics of Ti/RuO2-IrO2 anodes in a single electrolyte solution system (H2SO4 and NaCl) and real wastewater (CLBE) by accelerated life tests, respectively. The RSM optimization results showed that the COD, NH3-N and TN removal rates were 50.53%, 100% and 95.61% at 30 min, respectively, with a desirability value of 0.993. In parallel, the electrochemical and material characterizations were carried out on the electrodes before and after failure, by which the failure mechanism of Ti/RuO2-IrO2 anodes was clarified. On the whole, the true failure in the H2SO4 solution was attributed to coating dissolution and Ti substrate oxidation. In contrast, the electrode exhibited "apparent failure" due to the "bubble effect" in both NaCl and CLBE solutions, and the "effective roughness" formed compensated for the loss of activity caused by the absence of the coating. Besides, additional dissolution of the Ti substrate occurred in the CLBE solution due to the current edge effect and the presence of organic matter. This paper takes the actual wastewater as the research object and reveals its electrode failure mechanism, which provides a theoretical basis and reference for the subsequent optimization of the actual electrode service life.

Abstract
The development of the extraction process for improving the starch yield from unconventional plants is emerging as a topic of interest. In this respect, the present work aimed to optimize the starch extraction from the corms of elephant foot yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius) with the help of response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN). The RSM model performed better than the ANN in predicting the starch yield with higher precision. In this connection, this study for the first time reports the significant improvement of starch yield from A. paeoniifolius (51.76 g/100 g of the corm dry weight). The extracted starch samples based on yield - high (APHS), medium (APMS), and low (APLS) exhibited a variable granule size (7.17-14.14 μm) along with low ash content, moisture content, protein, and free amino acid indicating purity and desirability. The FTIR analysis also confirmed the chemical composition and purity of the starch samples. Moreover, the XRD analysis showed the prevalence of C-type starch (2θ = 14.303°). Based on other physicochemical, biochemical, functional, and pasting properties, the three starch samples showed more or less similar characteristics thereby indicating the sustentation of beneficial attributes of starch molecules irrespective of the variation in extraction parameters.

Abstract
The high production of acetic acid (AC) as a by-product leads to difficult separation and purification of succinic acid (SA) and increases production costs in SA fermentation by Actinobacillus succinogenes. NaHSO3 as a steering agent was used to reduce AC production. Herein, the optimum fermentation conditions were achieved by single-factor and orthogonal tests as follows: glucose 60 g/L; MgCO3 60 g/L; NaHSO3 0.15% (w/v); and NaHSO3 addition time, 8 h after inoculation. After optimization, the SA and AC contents were 44.42 and 5.73 g/L. The SA improved by 100.72%, the AC decreased by 21.18% compared with the unfermented. The acetate kinase activity decreased by 14.36% and acetyl-CoA content improved by 97.55% in the group of NaHSO3 addition compared with control check (CK). The mechanism of NaHSO3 is formation acetaldehyde-sodium bisulfite compound and reduction the activity of acetate kinase. These findings indicated a new way of using NaHSO3 as a steering agent to reduce AC generation and may help promote the development of SA industrial production.

Abstract
As a result of environmental concerns and the depletion of biomass assets, eco-friendly, renewable biomass-based chemical extraction has recently received significant attention. Bio-based chemicals can be prepared using different renewable feedstockbio-resources through microbial fermentation. Chemicals produced from renewable feedstockscan reduce ecological consequences from improper disposal and repurpose them into valuable products. Biodegradability, biocompatibility and non-toxicity, particularly in biomedical applications, have inspired researchers towards developing novel technologies that have social benefit. Among semi-synthetic and synthetic polymeric materials, utilization of natural bio-based monomeric materials can provide opportunities for sustainable development of novel non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible products. The purpose of this work is to give a summary of research into the generation of natural bio-based succinic acid (SA) monomer, the development of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) as biodegradable polymer, PBS-based nanocomposites and their innovative uses.

Abstract
Molasses is a major by-product of sugar industry and contains 40-60% (w/w) of sugars. The world's annual yield of molasses reaches 55 million tons. Traditionally, molasses is simply discharged or applied to feed production. Additionally, some low-cost and environmentally friendly bioprocesses have been established for microbial production of value-added bioproducts from molasses. Over the last decade and more, increasing numbers of biofuels, polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, organic acids, and enzymes have been produced from the molasses through microbial conversion that possess an array of important applications in the industries of food, energy, and pharmaceutical. For better application, it is necessary to comprehensively understand the research status of bioconversion of molasses that has not been elaborated in detail so far. In this review, these value-added bioproducts and enzymes obtained through bioconversion of molasses, their potential applications in food and other industries, as well as the future research focus were generalized and discussed.

Abstract
Due to environmental issues and the depletion of fossil-based resources, ecofriendly sustainable biomass-based chemical production has been given more attention recently. Succinic acid (SA) is one of the top value added bio-based chemicals. It can be synthesized through microbial fermentation using various waste steam bioresources. Production of chemicals from waste streams has dual function as it alleviates environmental concerns; they could have caused because of their improper disposal and transform them into valuable products. To date, Actinobacillus succinogenes is termed as the best natural SA producer. However, few reviews regarding SA production by A. succinogenes were reported. Herewith, pathways and metabolic engineering strategies, biomass pretreatment and utilization, and process optimization related with SA fermentation by A. succinogenes were discussed in detail. In general, this review covered vital information including merits, achievements, progresses, challenges, and future perspectives in SA production using A. succinogenes. Therefore, it is believed that this review will provide platform to understand the potential of the strain and tackle existing hurdles so as to develop superior strain for industrial applications. It will also be used as a baseline for identification, isolation, and improvement of other SA-producing microbes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Integrating waste management with fuels and chemical production is considered to address the food waste problem and oil crisis. Approximately, 600 million tonnes crude glycerol is produced from the biodiesel industry annually, which is a top renewable feedstock for succinic acid production. To meet the increasing demand for succinic acid production, the development of more efficient and cost-effective production methods is urgently needed. Herein, we have proposed a new strategy for integration of both biodiesel and SA production in a biorefinery unit by construction of an aerobic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica with a deletion in the gene coding succinate dehydrogenase subunit 5. RESULTS Robust succinic acid production by an engineered yeast Y. lipolytica from crude glycerol without pre-treatment was demonstrated. Diversion of metabolic flow from tricarboxylic acid cycle led to the success in generating a succinic acid producer Y. lipolytica PGC01003. The fermentation media and conditions were optimized, which resulted in 43 g L(-1) succinic acid production from crude glycerol. Using the fed-batch strategy in 2.5 L fermenter, up to 160 g L(-1) SA was yielded, indicating the great industrial potential. CONCLUSIONS Inactivation of SDH5 in Y. lipolytica Po1f led to succinic acid accumulation and secretion significantly. To our best knowledge, this is the highest titer obtained in fermentation on succinic acid production. In addition, the performance of batch and fed-batch fermentation showed high tolerance and yield on biodiesel by-product crude glycerol. All these results indicated that PGC01003 is a promising microbial factorial cell for the highly efficient strategy solving the environmental problem in connection with the production of value-added product.

Production of succinic acid from sugarcane molasses supplemented with a mixture of corn steep liquor powder and peanut meal as nitrogen sources by Actinobacillus succinogenes. Lett Appl Microbiol 2015; 60:544-51.

Abstract
The potential of using corn steep liquor powder (CSLP), peanut meal (PM), soybean meal (SM), cotton meal (CM) and urea as the substitute of yeast extract (YE) as the nitrogen source was investigated for producing succinic acid (SA). Actinobacillus succinogenes GXAS137 was used as the fermenting bacterium and sugarcane molasses was used as the main substrate. None of these materials were able to produce SA as high as YE did. The CSLP could still be considered as a feasible and inexpensive alternate for YE as the yield of SA produced using CSLP was second only to the yield of SA obtained by YE. The use of CSLP-PM mixed formulation (CSLP to PM ratio = 2·6) as nitrogen source produced SA up to 59·2 g l(-1) with a productivity of 1·2 g l(-1) h(-1). A batch fermentation using a stirred bioreactor produced up to 60·7 g l(-1) of SA at the same formulation. Fed-batch fermentation that minimized the substrate inhibition produced 64·7 g l(-1) SA. These results suggest that sugarcane molasses supplemented with a mixture of CSLP and PM as the nitrogen source could be used to produce SA more economically using A. succinogenes. Significance and impact of the study: Succinic acid (SA) is commonly used as a platform chemical to produce a number of high value derivatives. Yeast extract (YE) is used as a nitrogen source to produce SA. The high cost of YE is currently the limiting factor for industrial production of SA. This study reports the use of a mixture of corn steep liquor powder (CSLP) and peanut meal (PM) as an inexpensive nitrogen source to substitute YE. The results showed that this CSLP-PM mixed formulation can be used as an effective and economic nitrogen source for the production of SA.

BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS 2015; 8:181. [PMID: 26581168 PMCID: PMC4650334 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-015-0363-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2015] [Accepted: 10/22/2015] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bio-manufacturing of high-value chemicals in parallel to renewable biofuels has the potential to dramatically improve the overall economic landscape of integrated lignocellulosic biorefineries. However, this will require the generation of carbohydrate streams from lignocellulose in a form suitable for efficient microbial conversion and downstream processing appropriate to the desired end use, making overall process development, along with selection of appropriate target molecules, crucial to the integrated biorefinery. Succinic acid (SA), a high-value target molecule, can be biologically produced from sugars and has the potential to serve as a platform chemical for various chemical and polymer applications. However, the feasibility of microbial SA production at industrially relevant productivities and yields from lignocellulosic biorefinery streams has not yet been reported. RESULTS Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z was immobilised in a custom continuous fermentation setup to produce SA on the xylose-enriched fraction of a non-detoxified, xylose-rich corn stover hydrolysate stream produced from deacetylation and dilute acid pretreatment. Effective biofilm attachment, which serves as a natural cell retention strategy to increase cell densities, productivities and resistance to toxicity, was accomplished by means of a novel agitator fitting. A maximum SA titre, yield and productivity of 39.6 g L(-1), 0.78 g g(-1) and 1.77 g L(-1) h(-1) were achieved, respectively. Steady states were obtained at dilution rates of 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, and 0.05 h(-1) and the stirred biofilm reactor was stable over prolonged periods of operation with a combined fermentation time of 1550 h. Furthermore, it was found that a gradual increase in the dilution rate was required to facilitate adaptation of the culture to the hydrolysate, suggesting a strong evolutionary response to the toxic compounds in the hydrolysate. Moreover, the two primary suspected fermentation inhibitors, furfural and HMF, were metabolised during fermentation with the concentration of each remaining at zero across all steady states. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that immobilised A. succinogenes has the potential for effective conversion of an industrially relevant, biomass-derived feed stream to succinic acid. Furthermore, due to the attractive yields, productivities and titres achieved in this study, the process has the potential to serve as a means for value-added chemical manufacturing in the integrated biorefinery.
