[PMID: 36462631 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2022.108070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
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.

An updated review on advancement in fermentative production strategies for biobutanol using Clostridium spp. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:47988-48019.

Abstract
A significant concern of our fuel-dependent era is the unceasing exhaustion of petroleum fuel supplies. In parallel to this, environmental issues such as the greenhouse effect, change in global climate, and increasing global temperature must be addressed on a priority basis. Biobutanol, which has fuel characteristics comparable to gasoline, has attracted global attention as a viable green fuel alternative among the many biofuel alternatives. Renewable biomass could be used for the sustainable production of biobutanol by the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) pathway. Non-extinguishable resources, such as algal and lignocellulosic biomass, and starch are some of the most commonly used feedstock for fermentative production of biobutanol, and each has its particular set of advantages. Clostridium, a gram-positive endospore-forming bacterium that can produce a range of compounds, along with n-butanol is traditionally known for its biobutanol production capabilities. Clostridium fermentation produces biobased n-butanol through ABE fermentation. However, low butanol titer, a lack of suitable feedstock, and product inhibition are the primary difficulties in biobutanol synthesis. Critical issues that are essential for sustainable production of biobutanol include (i) developing high butanol titer producing strains utilizing genetic and metabolic engineering approaches, (ii) renewable biomass that could be used for biobutanol production at a larger scale, and (iii) addressing the limits of traditional batch fermentation by integrated bioprocessing technologies with effective product recovery procedures that have increased the efficiency of biobutanol synthesis. Our paper reviews the current progress in all three aspects of butanol production and presents recent data on current practices in fermentative biobutanol production technology.

Abstract
In this study, a phaCR gene encoding PHA synthase was identified in Rhodoligotrophos defluvii which was adjacent to β-ketothiolase encoded by phaAR gene and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase encoded by phaBR gene. Amino acid comparison of PhaCR showed the highest homology of 65.98% with PhaC of R. appendicifer, while its homology with typical class I PHA synthase in Cupriavidus necator was only 42.54%. PHA synthesis genes were then transformed into E. coli harboring phaCABR and phaCRABC which were cultured with 15 g/L glucose respectively, and 20.46 wt% and 16.95 wt% of CDW for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) were accumulated respectively. To further explore the effect of substrate specificity for PHA production, the ptsG gene was then deleted and 15 g/L glucose and 1.5 g/L propionate were co-employed as carbon sources, which enabled the synthesis of poly(3HB-co-3HV) copolymer. As a result, poly(3HB-co-3HV) was accumulated up to 24.74 wt% of CDW, and the highest content of 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) was 10.86 mol%. The Td5 was 260 °C, which implied that it possessed good thermal stability, and the Mw of GPC in recombinant strains were between 22 and 26 × 104 g/mol, and the highest PDI was 3.771. The structure of poly (3HB-co-3HV) copolymer was determined through 1H NMR analysis.

Abstract
A novel 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) producing strain was isolated and identified as Clostridium butyricum with respect to its morphological and physiological characteristics, as well as 16S rDNA. The results of substrates test and stress tolerance indicated that C. butyricum SCUT343-4 could produce 1,3-PDO efficiently from glycerol. The optimal fermentation conditions were determined to be 5 g/L yeast extract at 37 °C and pH 6.5. To fully evaluate its 1,3-PDO production capacity, different cultivation strategies have been implemented. The highest 1,3-PDO concentration obtained for batch and fed-batch fermentation were 51.64 and 61.30 g/L, respectively. Immobilized cell fermentation in fibrous-bed bioreactor was also performed, and the concentration of 1,3-PDO further increased to 86 g/L with a yield of 0.52 g/g. In addition, the 1,3-PDO productivity reached 4.20 g/L h, which is the highest level reported for C. butyricum, demonstrating the potential of C. butyricum SCUT343-4 for 1,3-PDO production from glycerol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The heavy global dependence on petroleum-based industries has led to serious environmental problems, including climate change and global warming. As a result, there have been calls for a paradigm shift towards the use of biorefineries, which employ natural and engineered microorganisms that can utilize various carbon sources from renewable resources as host strains for the carbon-neutral production of target products. PURPOSE AND SCOPE C4 alcohols are versatile chemicals that can be used directly as biofuels and bulk chemicals and in the production of value-added materials such as plastics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. C4 alcohols can be effectively produced by microorganisms using DCEO biotechnology (tools to design, construct, evaluate, and optimize) and metabolic engineering strategies. SUMMARY OF NEW SYNTHESIS AND CONCLUSIONS In this review, we summarize the production strategies and various synthetic tools available for the production of C4 alcohols and discuss the potential development of microbial cell factories, including the optimization of fermentation processes, that offer cost competitiveness and potential industrial commercialization.

Abstract
Worldwide, about one-third of food produced for human consumption is wasted, which includes byproducts from food processing, with a significant portion of the waste still being landfilled. The aim of this study is to convert chestnut shells (CNSs) from food processing into a valuable resource through bioprocesses. Currently, one of the highest barriers to bioprocess commercialization is low conversion of sugar from biomass, and KOH pretreatment was suggested to improve enzymatic digestibility (ED) of CNS. KOH concentration of 3% (w/w) was determined as a suitable pretreatment solution by a fundamental experiment. The reaction factors including temperature, time and solid/liquid (S/L) ratio were optimized (77.1 g/L CNS loading at 75 °C for 2.8 h) by response surface methodology (RSM). In the statistical model, temperature and time showed a relatively significant effect on the glucan content (GC) and ED, but S/L ratio was not. GC and ED of the untreated CNS were 45.1% and 12.7%, respectively. On the other hand, GC and ED of pretreated CNS were 83.2% and 48.4%, respectively, and which were significantly improved by about 1.8-fold and 3.8-fold compared to the control group. The improved ED through the optimization is expected to contribute to increasing the value of byproducts generated in food processing.

Abstract
Orange peel, which is a by-product of oranges, contains carbohydrates that can be converted into sugars and used in the fermentation process. In this study, the thermal alkaline pretreatment process was chosen because of its simplicity and lesser reaction time. In addition, the reaction factors were optimized using response surface methodology. The determined optimal conditions were as follows: 60.1 g/L orange peels loading, 3% KOH and 30 min. Under the optimal conditions, glucan content (GC) and enzymatic digestibility (ED) were found to be 32.8% and 87.8%, respectively. Enzymatic hydrolysis was performed with pretreated and non-pretreated orange peels using three types of enzyme complex (cellulase, cellobiase and xylanase). The minimum concentrations of enzyme complex required to obtain maximum ED were 30 FPU (filter paper unit), 15 CBU (cellobiase unit), and 30 XNU (xylanase unit) based on 1 g-biomass. Additionally, ED of the treated group was approximately 3.7-fold higher than that of the control group. In conclusion, the use of orange peel as a feedstock for biorefinery can be a strategic solution to reduce wastage of resources and produce sustainable bioproducts.

Abstract
Microalgae have been attracting attention as feedstock for biorefinery because they have various advantages, such as carbon fixation, high growth rate and high energy yield. The bioactive compounds and lutein contained in microalgae are known to be beneficial for human health, especially eye and brain health. In this study, in order to improve the recovery of bioactive extracts including lutein from Tetraselmis suecica with higher efficiency, an effective solvent was selected, and the extraction parameters such as temperature, time and solid loading were optimized by response surface methodology. The most effective solvent for lutein recovery was identified as 100% methanol, and the optimum condition was determined (42.4 °C, 4.0 h and 125 g/L biomass loading) by calculation of the multiple regression model. The maximum content of recovered lutein was found to be 2.79 mg/mL, and the ABTS radical scavenging activity (IC50) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) value were about 3.36 mg/mL and 561.9 μmol/L, respectively. Finally, the maximum lutein recovery from T. suecica through statistical optimization was estimated to be 22.3 mg/g biomass, which was 3.1-fold improved compared to the control group.

Abstract
Here, we report an analysis method for determining PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) contents and their monomer composition in microbial cells based on pyrolysis gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). Various kinds of microbial cells accumulating different PHA contents and monomer compositions were prepared through the cultivation of Ralstonia eutropha and recombinant Escherichia coli. Py-GC/MS could analyse these samples in a short time without complicated pretreatment steps. Characteristic peaks such as 2-butenoic acid, 2-pentenoic acid, and hexadecanoic acid regarding PHA compositions and cell components were identified. Considering constituents of cells and ratios of peak areas of dehydrated monomers to hexadecanoic acid, a simple equation for estimation of PHA contents in microbial cells was derived. Also, monomer compositions of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) in R. eutropha could be successfully determined based on peak area of 2-butenoic acid and 2-pentenoic acid of Py-GC/MS, which are the corresponding species of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) in PHBV. Correlation of results between GC-FID and Py-GC/MS could be fitted very well. This method shows similar results for the samples obtained from same experimental conditions, allowing rapid and reliable analysis. Py-GC/MS can be a promising tool to rapidly screen PHA-positive strains based on polymer contents along with monomer compositions.

Synthetic organic compounds (SOCs) are reported as xenobiotics compounds contaminating the environment from various sources including waste from the pulp and paper industries: Since the demand and production of paper is growing increasingly, the release of paper and pulp industrial waste consisting of SOCs is also increasing the SOCs' pollution in natural reservoirs to create environmental pollution. In pulp and paper industries, the SOCs viz. phenol compounds, furans, dioxins, benzene compounds etc. are produced during bleaching phase of pulp treatment and they are principal components of industrial discharge. This review gives an overview of various biotechnological interventions for paper mill waste effluent management and elimination strategies. Further, the review also gives the insight overview of various ways to restrict SOCs release in natural reservoirs, its limitations and integrated approaches for SOCs bioremediation using engineered microbial approaches. Furthermore, it gives a brief overview of the sustainable remediation of SOCs via genetically modified biological agents, including bioengineering system innovation at industry level before waste discharge.

Abstract
Acetate can be used as carbon feedstock for the production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), but the production level was low due to inefficient cell growth on acetate. To better utilize acetate, a two-stage strategy, whereby glucose is used for cell growth and acetate for 3-HP formation, was attempted. Dissected malonyl-CoA reductase of Chloroflexus aurantiacus, alone or along with acetyl-CoA carboxylase and/or transhydrogenase, was overexpressed, and by-products formation pathway, glyoxylate shunt (GS) and gluconeogenesis were modified. When GS or gluconeogenesis was disrupted, cell growth on glucose was not hampered, while on acetate it was completely abolished. Consequently, 3-HP production, at production stage, were low, though 3-HP yield on acetate was increased, especially in the case of aceA deletion. In two-stage bioreactor, strain with upregulated GS produced 7.3 g/L 3-HP with yield of 0.26 mol/mol acetate. This study suggests that two-stage cultivation is a good strategy for 3-HP production from acetate.

Abstract
K. pneumoniae BLh-1 strain was genetically modified aiming at obtaining high ethanol productivity in cultivations using residual glycerol from biodiesel synthesis as substrate. The recombinant strain K. pneumoniae Kp17 was obtained by inserting the multicopy plasmid pTOPOBL17 containing the AdhE gene, and its own promoter, from K. pneumoniae BLh-1. Influence of Fe2+ supplementation and initial glycerol concentration on culture conditions were analyzed, both in rotatory shaker and in batch bioreactors. In the bioreactor cultures, K. pneumoniae Kp17 strain produced 4.5 g L-1 of ethanol (productivity of 0.50 g L-1 h-1 and yields of 0.15 g g-1) after 24-h cultivation, corresponding to an increase of approximately 40% in ethanol concentration compared to wild strain, K. pneumoniae BLh-1. Best conditions were then applied in exponential fed-batch bioreactors, with final ethanol concentration of 17.30 g L-1 (productivity of 0.59 g L-1 h-1 and yields of 0.16 g g-1) after 30 h of feeding, representing 11.5% of increment in titer of ethanol compared to the wild strain. Mutant cells kept 92.5% of the plasmids under batch in 24 h, and 71.9% under fed-batch after 27 h of exponential feeding. The findings in this work show the possibility of using a simple approach to genetically modify K. pneumoniae to be employed this versatile bacterium for the bioconversion of residual glycerol into ethanol.

Abstract
Strains of Clostridium genus are used for production of various value-added products including fuels and chemicals. Development of any commercially viable production process requires a combination of both strain and fermentation process development strategies. The strain development in Clostridium sp. could be achieved by random mutagenesis, and targeted gene alteration methods. However, strain improvement in Clostridium sp. by targeted gene alteration method was challenging due to the lack of efficient tools for genome and transcriptome engineering in this organism. Recently, various synthetic biology tools have been developed to facilitate the strain engineering of solventogenic Clostridium. In this review, we consolidated the recent advancements in toolbox development for genome and transcriptome engineering in solventogenic Clostridium. Here we reviewed the genome-engineering tools employing mobile group II intron, pyrE alleles exchange, and CRISPR/Cas9 with their application for strain development of Clostridium sp. Next, transcriptome engineering tools such as untranslated region (UTR) engineering and synthetic sRNA techniques were also discussed in context of Clostridium strain engineering. Application of any of these discussed techniques will facilitate the metabolic engineering of clostridia for development of improved strains with respect to requisite functional attributes. This might lead to the development of an economically viable butanol production process with improved titer, yield and productivity.

Microb Cell Fact 2020; 19:64.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important platform chemical, which has been used as a food additive and drug. Additionally, GABA is a precursor of 2-pyrrolidone, which is used in nylon synthesis. GABA is usually synthesized from glutamate in a reaction catalyzed by glutamate decarboxylase (GAD). Currently, there are several reports on GABA production from monosodium glutamate (MSG) or glucose using engineered microbes. However, the optimal pH for GAD activity is 4, which is the limiting factor for the efficient microbial fermentative production of GABA as fermentations are performed at pH 7. Recently, DR1558, a response regulator in the two-component signal transduction system was identified in Deinococcus radiodurans. DR1558 is reported to confer cellular robustness to cells by binding the promoter regions of genes via DNA-binding domains or by binding to the effector molecules, which enable the microorganisms to survive in various environmental stress conditions, such as oxidative stress, high osmotic shock, and low pH. RESULTS In this study, the effect of DR1558 in enhancing GABA production was examined using two different strategies: whole-cell bioconversion of GABA from MSG and direct fermentative production of GABA from glucose under acidic culture conditions. In the whole-cell bioconversion, GABA produced by E. coli expressing GadBC and DR1558 (6.52 g/L GABA from 13 g/L MSG·H2O) in shake flask culture at pH 4.5 was 2.2-fold higher than that by E. coli expressing only GadBC (2.97 g/L of GABA from 13 g/L MSG·H2O). In direct fermentative production of GABA from glucose, E. coli ∆gabT expressing isocitrate dehydrogenase (IcdA), glutamate dehydrogenase (GdhA), GadBC, and DR1558 produced 1.7-fold higher GABA (2.8 g/L of GABA from 30 g/L glucose) than E. coli ∆gabT expressing IcdA, GdhA, and GadBC (1.6 g/L of GABA from 30 g/L glucose) in shake flask culture at an initial pH 7.0. The transcriptional analysis of E. coli revealed that DR1558 conferred acid resistance to E. coli during GABA production. The fed-batch fermentation of E. coli expressing IcdA, GdhA, GadBC, and DR1558 performed at pH 5.0 resulted in the final GABA titer of 6.16 g/L by consuming 116.82 g/L of glucose in 38 h. CONCLUSION This is the first report to demonstrate GABA production by acidic fermentation and to provide an engineering strategy for conferring acid resistance to the recombinant E. coli for GABA production.

High-Level Conversion of l-lysine into Cadaverine by Escherichia coli Whole Cell Biocatalyst Expressing Hafnia alvei l-lysine Decarboxylase. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11071184.

Abstract
Cadaverine is a C5 diamine monomer used for the production of bio-based polyamide 510. Cadaverine is produced by the decarboxylation of l-lysine using a lysine decarboxylase (LDC). In this study, we developed recombinant Escherichia coli strains for the expression of LDC from Hafnia alvei. The resulting recombinant XBHaLDC strain was used as a whole cell biocatalyst for the high-level bioconversion of l-lysine into cadaverine without the supplementation of isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) for the induction of protein expression and pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), a key cofactor for an LDC reaction. The comparison of results from enzyme characterization of E. coli and H. alvei LDC revealed that H. alvei LDC exhibited greater bioconversion ability than E. coli LDC due to higher levels of protein expression in all cellular fractions and a higher specific activity at 37 °C (1825 U/mg protein > 1003 U/mg protein). The recombinant XBHaLDC and XBEcLDC strains were constructed for the high-level production of cadaverine. Recombinant XBHaLDC produced a 1.3-fold higher titer of cadaverine (6.1 g/L) than the XBEcLDC strain (4.8 g/L) from 10 g/L of l-lysine. Furthermore, XBHaLDC, concentrated to an optical density (OD600) of 50, efficiently produced 136 g/L of cadaverine from 200 g/L of l-lysine (97% molar yield) via an IPTG- and PLP-free whole cell bioconversion reaction. Cadaverine synthesized via a whole cell biocatalyst reaction using XBHaLDC was purified to polymer grade, and purified cadaverine was successfully used for the synthesis of polyamide 510. In conclusion, an IPTG- and PLP-free whole cell bioconversion process of l-lysine into cadaverine, using recombinant XBHaLDC, was successfully utilized for the production of bio-based polyamide 510, which has physical and thermal properties similar to polyamide 510 synthesized from chemical-grade cadaverine.
