Abstract
The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with acid generates phenolic and furanyl compounds that function as toxins by inhibiting microbial growth and metabolism. Therefore, it is necessary to detoxify acid-pretreated lignocellulosic biomass for better utilization. Among the various detoxification methods that are available, biodetoxification offers advantages that include mild reaction conditions and low energy consumption. In this study, a newly isolated Rhodococcus aetherivorans strain, N1, was found to effectively degrade various lignin-derived aromatic compounds, such as p-coumarate, ferulate, syringaldehyde, furfural, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. Furthermore, the metabolic pathway and genes responsible for this degradation were also identified. In addition, the overexpression of a demethylase (DesA) and 3,4-dioxygenase (DesZ) in strain N1 generated a recombinant strain, N1-S, which showed an enhanced ability to degrade syringaldehyde and 80.5% furfural, 50.7% 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and 71.5% phenolic compounds in corn cob hydrolysate. The resulting detoxified hydrolysate was used directly as a feedstock for succinate production by Escherichia coli suc260. This afforded 35.3 g/l succinate, which was 6.5 times greater than the concentration afforded when nondetoxified hydrolysate was used. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that strain N1-S is a valuable microbe for the biodetoxification of lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Succinate is the end product of anaerobic metabolism of Escherichia coli, and its over-production needs abundant reducing force. Electro-fermentation (EF) is a novel biotechnology to steer and control fermentative processes by supplying extra electrons. However, E.coli is a non-electroactive strain which needs the support of electron shuttle in EF. Here, membrane engineering strategies of "Building bridges" via screening direct electron transport pathway and "Digging tunnels" via screening membrane porins were developed to improve the transmembrane transport of electron during the cathodic electro-fermentation (CEF). As a result, the total electron quantity during electro-fermentation was increased from 1.21 mmol to 7.90 mmol, and succinate yield was increased by 23.3% when these strategies simultaneously were applied to the succinate candidate E. coli Suc260. Hence, this study provides a reference mode for designing and constructing non-electroactive bacteria for electro-fermentation of reductive metabolites.

Abstract
Succinic acid has attracted much interest as a key platform chemical that can be obtained in high titers from biomass through sustainable fermentation processes, thus boosting the bioeconomy as a critical production strategy for the future. After several years of development of the production of succinic acid, many studies on lab or pilot scale production have been reported. The relevant experimental data reveal underlying physical and chemical dynamic phenomena. To take advantage of this vast, but disperse, kinetic information, a number of mathematical kinetic models of the unstructured non-segregated type have been proposed in the first place. These relatively simple models feature critical aspects of interest for the design, control, optimization and operation of this key bioprocess. This review includes a detailed description of the phenomena involved in the bioprocesses and how they reflect on the most important and recent models based on macroscopic and metabolic chemical kinetics, and in some cases even coupling mass transport.

Abstract
Biofilm-based cell-immobilized fermentation technology is regarded as the technique with the most potential for biobased product (chemicals, biofuelss materials, etc.) production in industry. Glycosylated membrane can mimic natural extracellular matrix (ECM) and improve cell adhesion and biofilm formation based on carbohydrate-microbial lectin interaction. Here, we applied glycosylated membrane with rhamnose modified surface for constructing Actinobacillus succinogenes biofilm and producing biosuccinic acid. Polymer hollow fiber (PHF) membrane surface was first modified by glycosylation based on physical adsorption approach. The approach is simple, green, and suitable for scale-amplification. Then, the microbial biofilm formed dramatically on the modified membrane surface. And for subsequent biosuccinic acid production, the maximum titer of succinic acid reached 67.3 g/L, and the yield was 0.82 g/g. Compared with free cell fermentation, the titer and yield increased by 18% and 9% in this biofilm-based cell-immobilized fermentation system, respectively. Importantly, the production efficiency of biosuccinic acid increased obviously for subsequent biofilm-based cell-immobilized fermentation. In addition, the biofilm-integrated glycosylated membrane showed high reusability for succinic acid production. This result is important for developing biofilms for a wide range of applications in bioproduct (chemicals, biofuels, materials, etc.) production.

Abstract
Plastic production has been increasing at enormous rates. Particularly, the socioenvironmental problems resulting from the linear economy model have been widely discussed, especially regarding plastic pieces intended for single use and disposed improperly in the environment. Nonetheless, greenhouse gas emissions caused by inappropriate disposal or recycling and by the many production stages have not been discussed thoroughly. Regarding the manufacturing processes, carbon dioxide is produced mainly through heating of process streams and intrinsic chemical transformations, explaining why first-generation petrochemical industries are among the top five most greenhouse gas (GHG)-polluting businesses. Consequently, the plastics market must pursue full integration with the circular economy approach, promoting the simultaneous recycling of plastic wastes and sequestration and reuse of CO2 through carbon capture and utilization (CCU) strategies, which can be employed for the manufacture of olefins (among other process streams) and reduction of fossil-fuel demands and environmental impacts. Considering the previous remarks, the present manuscript’s purpose is to provide a review regarding CO2 emissions, capture, and utilization in the plastics industry. A detailed bibliometric review of both the scientific and the patent literature available is presented, including the description of key players and critical discussions and suggestions about the main technologies. As shown throughout the text, the number of documents has grown steadily, illustrating the increasing importance of CCU strategies in the field of plastics manufacture.

Abstract
The environmental impacts and high long-term costs of poor waste disposal have pushed the industry to realize the potential of turning this problem into an economic and sustainable initiative. Anaerobic digestion and the production of biogas can provide an efficient means of meeting several objectives concerning energy, environmental, and waste management policy. Biogas contains methane (60%) and carbon dioxide (40%) as its principal constituent. Excluding methane, other gasses contained in biogas are considered as contaminants. Removal of these impurities, especially carbon dioxide, will increase the biogas quality for further use. Integrating biological processes into the bio-refinery that effectively consume carbon dioxide will become increasingly important. Such process integration could significantly improve the sustainability of the overall bio-refinery process. The biogas upgrading by utilization of carbon dioxide rather than removal of it is a suitable strategy in this direction. The present work is a critical review that summarizes state-of-the-art technologies for biogas upgrading with particular attention to the emerging biological methanation processes. It also discusses the future perspectives for overcoming the challenges associated with upgradation. While biogas offers a good substitution for fossil fuels, it still not a perfect solution for global greenhouse gas emissions and further research still needs to be conducted.

Abstract
Methanol is increasingly becoming an attractive carbon feedstock for the production of various biochemicals due to its high abundance and low price. In this study, when methanol assimilation module was introduced into succinic acid producing Escherichia coli by employing the NAD-dependent methanol dehydrogenase from Bacillus methanolicus and ribulose monophosphate pathway from different donor organisms, succinic acid yield was increased from 0.91 ± 0.08 g/g to 0.98 ± 0.11 g/g with methanol as an auxiliary substrate under the anaerobic fermentation. Further 13C-labeling experiments showed that the recombinant strain successfully converted methanol into succinic acid, as the carbon atom of carboxyl group in succinic acid was labeled by 13C. It was found that the NADH generated by methanol oxidation would benefit succinate production, as the NADH/NAD+ ratio in vivo was decreased from 0.67 to 0.45 in the engineered strain, indicating that the efficiency of succinic acid synthesis was significantly improved when driven by methanol. This study represents a successful case for the development of reducing chemical production using methanol as an auxiliary substrate.

Abstract
Succinic acid (SA) production by Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z using cane molasses as a low cost carbon source was developed. With molasses pretreated by 150 kDa membrane, the highest SA concentration (45.6 g/L), productivity (1.27 g/L·h) and yield (0.76 g SA/g sugars) were obtained under an optimal pH 6.4, which were increased by 1.04 folds compared to those with model sugar mixture due to the effect of vitamins in molasses. Meanwhile, the ratio of sugars in the cane molasses had little effect on SA production. To further enhance SA productivity, the cells were immobilized in luffa sponge matrices (LSM), and repeated batch cultures were carried out for 5 cycles, demonstrating a stable and reliable long-term performance. Compared with the batch culture, the SA productivity enhanced by 49.6% in the LSM system with repeated batch culture. These results suggest that the cell immobilization approach is promising for industrial applications.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to develop an effective bioprocess for converting CO2 into succinic acid (SA) with Actinobacillus succinogenes by an integrated fermentation and membrane separation process. CO2 could be effectively converted into SA using NaOH as the neutralizer under the completely closed exhaust pipe case with self-circulation of CO2 in the bioreactor. Meanwhile, the optimal CO2 partial pressure was 0.4 bar. In addition, a 300 kDa ultrafiltration (UF) membrane was preferred for constructing the membrane bioreactor. Moreover, a high conductivity was toxic to the cells during SA biosynthesis. After removing the high concentration salts by in-situ membrane filtration, the SA productivity and CO2 fixation rate increased by 39.2% compared with the batch culture, reaching 1.39 g·L-1·h-1 and 0.52 g·L-1·h-1 respectively. Furthermore, nanofiltration (NF) was suitable for purifying the SA and recovering the residual substrates in the UF permeate for the next fermentation.

Abstract
Methanol has become an attractive substrate for biotechnological applications due to its abundance and low-price. Chemicals production from methanol could alleviate the environmental concerns, costs, and foreign dependency associated with the use of petroleum feedstock. Recently, a growing fraction of research has focused on metabolites production using methanol as sole carbon and energy source or as co-substrate with carbohydrates by native or synthetic methylotrophs. In this review, we summarized the recent significant progress in native and synthetic methylotrophs and their application for methanol bioconversion into various products. Moreover, strategies for improvement of methanol metabolism and new perspectives on the generation of desired products from methanol were also discussed, which will benefit for the development of a methanol-based economy.

Abstract
Poor high salt stress resistance remained as a main hurdle limiting the efficient bio-based succinic acid production. In this study, the metabolically engineered E. coli not only showed improvement of high salt stress tolerance through expression of a global regulator IrrE, but also could use seawater for succinic acid fermentation. The recombinant strain showed an increased 1.20-fold of cell growth rate and 1.24-fold of succinic acid production. Expression levels of genes related glucose uptake and succinic acid synthesis were up-regulated, and more glycerol and trehalose were accumulated. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in cell growth even when tap water was replaced by 60% artificial seawater. In the fermentation using Yellow Sea seawater, 24.5 g/L succinic acid was achieved with a yield of 0.88 g/g. This strategy set up a platform for improving abiotic stress tolerances and provide a possible approach for fermentation processes with low cost.

Characterization of a β-glucosidase from Paenibacillus species and its application for succinic acid production from sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2017; 241:309-316. [PMID: 28577479 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2017.05.141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2017] [Revised: 05/20/2017] [Accepted: 05/22/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a β-glucosidase from Paenibacillus sp. M1 was expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3), purified and characterized. The specific activity of purified BglA was 137.64U·mg-1 protein with optimal temperature and pH of 50°C and 6.0. Furthermore, BglA shows excellent adaption to various environmental factors such as temperature, pH and metal ions. Engineered E. coli Suc260 was further reconstructed by overexpressing the β-glucosidase for achieving direct cellobiose utilization, which could efficiently utilize the pretreated sugarcane bagasses hydrolysate (SBH) consisting of 25.30g·L-1 cellobiose, 9.70g·L-1 glucose, 5.90g·L-1 arabinose and 7.10g·L-1 xylose. As a result, 26.50g·L-1 and 24.30g·L-1 succinic acid were produced by strain Suc260(pTbglA) from cellobiose and SBH with corresponding yields of 88.30% and 89.20% using dual-phase fermentation, respectively. This study indicated that incomplete enzymatic hydrolysate of SCB will be a potential feedstock for succinic acid production.
