Abstract
d-Allulose is a desirable sucrose substitute with potential applications in food and health care. d-Allulose can be synthesized using d-glucose as a substrate through coupling glucose isomerase with d-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase); however, the product yield is typically less than 20% at reaction equilibrium and thus limits its use in industrial applications. Here, a 3R-ketose phosphorylation pathway coupled with an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) regeneration system was developed for the efficient synthesis of d-allulose in Escherichia coli using d-glucose as a substrate. The l-rhamnulose kinase (RhaB) was used to break the inherent reaction equilibrium due to its substrate specificity, resulting in increases in d-allulose titer by 69.9% to 4.96 ± 0.49 g/L. By optimizing the whole cell transformation conditions and designing an ATP regeneration module, d-allulose production reached 17.62 ± 0.77 g/L from 30 g/L d-glucose with a final yield of 0.73 g/g without the addition of exogenous ATP. To evaluate the potential industrial application of this multienzyme cascade system, d-allulose was produced from cane molasses (124.16 ± 2.69 g/L glucose equivalent) with a final d-allulose titer of 62.60 ± 3.76 g/L. The present study provides a practical enzymatic approach for the economical synthesis of d-allulose.

Abstract
Sugarcane straw (SCS) was pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid assisted by microwave to magnify fermentable sugars and to minimize the concentration of inhibitors in the hydrolysates. The optimum conditions for maximum recovery of sugars were 162 °C and 0.6% (w/v) H2SO4. The low level of inhibitors, such as acetate (2.9 g/L) and total phenolics (1.4 g/L), in the SCS slurry from the pretreatment stage allowed the enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation steps to occur without detoxification. Besides consuming the total sugar content (31.0 g/L), Clostridium beijerinckii Br21 was able to use acetate from the SCS hydrolysate, to give butyric acid at high conversion factor (0.49 g of butyric acid /g of sugar). The optimized pretreatment conditions spared acid, time, and the detoxification stage, making bio-butyric acid production from SCS extremely attractive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molasses is a wildly used feedstock for fermentation, but it also poses a severe wastewater-disposal problem worldwide. Recently, the wastewater from yeast molasses fermentation is being processed into fulvic acid (FA) powder as a fertilizer for crops, but it consequently induces a problem of soil acidification after being directly applied into soil. In this study, the low-cost FA powder was bioconverted into a value-added product of γ-PGA by a glutamate-independent producer of Bacillus velezensis GJ11. RESULTS FA power could partially substitute the high-cost substrates such as sodium glutamate and citrate sodium for producing γ-PGA. With FA powder in the fermentation medium, the amount of sodium glutamate and citrate sodium used for producing γ-PGA were both decreased around one-third. Moreover, FA powder could completely substitute Mg2+, Mn2+, Ca2+, and Fe3+ in the fermentation medium for producing γ-PGA. In the optimized medium with FA powder, the γ-PGA was produced at 42.55 g/L with a productivity of 1.15 g/(L·h), while only 2.87 g/L was produced in the medium without FA powder. Hydrolyzed γ-PGA could trigger induced systemic resistance (ISR), e.g., H2O2 accumulation and callose deposition, against the pathogen's infection in plants. Further investigations found that the ISR triggered by γ-PGA hydrolysates was dependent on the ethylene (ET) signaling and nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related proteins 1 (NPR1). CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first report to use the industry waste, FA powder, as a sustainable substrate for microbial synthesis of γ-PGA. This bioprocess can not only develop a new way to use FA powder as a cheap feedstock for producing γ-PGA, but also help to reduce pollution from the wastewater of yeast molasses fermentation.

Abstract
Reduction in water consumption and increase in ethanol concentration are two main challenges for bioethanol production from lignocellulosic materials. To address the two challenges, the aim of this work was to study the production of bioethanol from unwashed-pretreated rapeseed straw (RS) at high solid loading. RS pretreated with 1% (w w-1) H2SO4 at 160 °C for 10 min resulted in excellent digestibility and fermentability of pretreated RS. The unwashed-pretreated RS was subjected to presaccharification and fed-batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (P-FB-SSF) at a final solid loading of 22% (w w-1). Ethanol concentration and ethanol yield of 53.1 g L-1 (equivalent to 4.1% (w w-1) based on fermentation slurry) and 72.4% were obtained, respectively. In total, 92.1 g water g-1 ethanol was consumed, a much smaller amount than that observed with washing after pretreatment or fermentation performed at lower solid loading.

Abstract
Lignocellulose-based biorefineries have been gaining increasing attention to substitute current petroleum-based refineries. Biomass processing requires a pretreatment step to break lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrant structure, which results in the release of a broad range of microbial inhibitors, mainly weak acids, furans, and phenolic compounds. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most commonly used organism for ethanol production; however, it can be severely distressed by these lignocellulose-derived inhibitors, in addition to other challenging conditions, such as pentose sugar utilization and the high temperatures required for an efficient simultaneous saccharification and fermentation step. Therefore, a better understanding of the yeast response and adaptation towards the presence of these multiple stresses is of crucial importance to design strategies to improve yeast robustness and bioconversion capacity from lignocellulosic biomass. This review includes an overview of the main inhibitors derived from diverse raw material resultants from different biomass pretreatments, and describes the main mechanisms of yeast response to their presence, as well as to the presence of stresses imposed by xylose utilization and high-temperature conditions, with a special emphasis on the synergistic effect of multiple inhibitors/stressors. Furthermore, successful cases of tolerance improvement of S. cerevisiae are highlighted, in particular those associated with other process-related physiologically relevant conditions. Decoding the overall yeast response mechanisms will pave the way for the integrated development of sustainable yeast cell-based biorefineries.
