Abstract
The hemicellulosic fraction of lignocellulosic biomass is a very important material, due to the significant concentration of pentoses present in its composition and that can be used sustainably in biotechnological processes such as the production of fumaric acid. Research efforts are currently being promoted for the proper disposal and valorization of empty fruit bunches (EFB) from oil palm. In this work, seventeen Rhizopus species were evaluated in a fermentation medium with EFB hydrolyzate, without detoxification, as a carbon source for fumaric acid production. Rhizopus circicans 1475 and Rhizopus 3271 achieved productions of 5.65 g.L-1 and 5.25 g.L-1 of fumaric acid at 30 °C, 120 rpm for 96 h, respectively. The percentage of consumed sugars, mainly pentoses, was 24.88% and 34.02% for R. circicans 1475 and R 3271, respectively. Soy peptone and ammonium sulfate were evaluated as nitrogen sources, where soy peptone stimulated the formation of biomass pellets while ammonium sulfate produced mycelia and clamps.

Abstract
The organic acids of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) pathway are important platform compounds and are widely used in many areas. The high-productivity strains and high-efficient and low-cost fermentation are required to satisfy a huge market size. The high metabolic flux of the TCA pathway endows microorganisms potential to produce high titers of these organic acids. Coupled with metabolic engineering and fermentation optimization, the titer of the organic acids has been significantly improved in recent years. Herein, we discuss and compare the recent advances in synthetic pathway engineering, cofactor engineering, transporter engineering, and fermentation optimization strategies to maximize the biosynthesis of organic acids. Such engineering strategies were mainly based on the TCA pathway and glyoxylate pathway. Furthermore, organic-acid-secretion enhancement and renewable-substrate-based fermentation are often performed to assist the biosynthesis of organic acids. Further strategies are also discussed to construct high-productivity and acid-resistant strains for industrial large-scale production.

Abstract
Fumarate is a value-added chemical that is widely used in food, medicine, material, and agriculture industries. With the rising attention to the demand for fumarate and sustainable development, many novel alternative ways that can replace the traditional petrochemical routes emerged. The in vitro cell-free multi-enzyme catalysis is an effective method to produce high value chemicals. In this study, a multi-enzyme catalytic pathway comprising three enzymes for fumarate production from low-cost substrates acetate and glyoxylate was designed. The acetyl-CoA synthase, malate synthase, and fumarase from Escherichia coli were selected and the coenzyme A achieved recyclable. The enzymatic properties and optimization of reaction system were investigated, reaching a fumarate yield of 0.34 mM with a conversion rate of 34% after 20 h of reaction. We proposed and realized the conversion of acetate and glyoxylate to fumarate in vitro using a cell-free multi-enzyme catalytic system, thus providing an alternative approach for the production of fumarate.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae with its robustness and good acid tolerance, is an attractive candidate for use in various industries, including waste-based biorefineries where a high-value organic acid is produced, such as fumaric acid could be beneficial. However, this yeast is not a natural producer of dicarboxylic acids, and genetic engineering of S. cerevisiae strains is required to achieve this outcome. Disruption of the natural FUM1 gene and the recombinant expression of fumarase and malate transporter genes improved the malic acid-to-fumaric acid conversion by engineered S. cerevisiae strains. The efficacy of the strains was significantly influenced by the source of the fumarase gene (yeast versus bacterial), the presence of the XYNSEC signal secretion signal and the available oxygen in synthetic media cultivations. The ΔFUM1Ckr_fum + mae1 and ΔFUM1(ss)Ckr_fum + mae1 strains converted extracellular malic acid into 0.98 and 1.11 g/L fumaric acid under aerobic conditions.

Abstract
To understand fumaric acid sludge (FAS) systematically and comprehensively and find out how to utilize it, we conducted a series of characterization analyses on FAS. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) Spectra shows that the main component of FAS is fumaric acids and also contains a small amount of silicate. The nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen (1H-NMR) spectrum also shows that fumaric acid accounted for a large proportion of FAS. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that the main phase in FAS is fumaric acid, and there is also a small amount of Kaliophilite. After gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and pyrolysis gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) analysis, it indicates that the possible volatiles and pyrolysis products in FAS are fumaric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, phthalic acid, etc. In the test of Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS), we determined the contents of phthalic acid, fumaric acid, and maleic acid in FAS. The detailed mass content of each component in FAS is as follows: phthalic acid is about 0.10-0.15%; maleic anhydride is about 0.40-0.80%; maleic acid is about 18.40-19.0%; fumaric acid is about 55.00-56.90%; succinic anhydride is about 0.06-0.08%; acrylic acid is about 0.06-0.08%; malic acid is about 0.90-1.00%; acetic acid is about 0.10-0.20%; silicate is about 0.25-0.30%; phthalic anhydride is about 0.20-0.30%; water is about 24.30-24.80%. The filtrate loss reducer (PAAF) used in oilwell drilling fluids synthesized by FAS not only has excellent temperature and complex saline resistance, the API filtration loss (FL) was only 13.2 mL/30 min in the complex saline based mud, but is also cost-effective.

Volatile Compounds of Algal Biomass Pyrolysis. JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/jmse10070928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
The use and transformation of biomass into highly valuable products is a key element in circular economy models. The purpose of this research was to characterise the volatile compounds and the temperature at which they are emitted during the thermal decomposition by pyrolysis of algal biomass while looking at three different types: (A1) endemic microalgae consortium, (A2) photobioreactor microalgae consortium and (A3) Caribbean macroalgae consortium. Furthermore, the ultimate (CHON) and proximate (humidity, volatile solids and ashes) compositions of the algal biomass were determined. Some volatile species were identified as having potential industrial interest for use as precursors and intermediaries, such as commercially used aromatic compounds which if not suitably managed can be harmful to our health and the environment. It is concluded that the pyrolysis of algal biomass shows potential for the generation of valuable products. The information generated is useful, especially the temperature at which volatility occurs, in order to access the valuable compounds offered by the algal biomasses, and under the concept of biorefinery convert the issue of biomass disposal into a sustainable source of raw materials.

Abstract
Filamentous fungi occupy a uniquely favorable position in the bioproduction of organic acids. Intracellular stress is the main stimulator in filamentous fungi to produce and accumulate organic acids with high flux. However, stress can affect the physiological activities of filamentous fungi, thereby deteriorating their fermentation performance. Herein, we report that peptide supplementation during Rhizopus oryzae fermentation significantly improved fumaric acid production. Specifically, fumaric acid productivity was elevated by approximately 100%, fermentation duration was shortened from 72 to 36 h, while maintaining the final titer. Furthermore, transcriptome profile analysis and biochemical assays indicated that the overall capabilities of the stress defense systems (enzymatic and nonenzymatic) were significantly improved in R. oryzae. Consequently, glycolytic metabolism was distinctly enhanced, which eventually resulted in improved fumaric acid production and reduced fermentation duration. We expect our findings and efforts to provide essential insights into the optimization of the fermentation performance of filamentous fungi in industrial biotechnology and fermentation engineering.

Abstract
The development and commercialization of sustainable chemicals from agricultural products and by-products is necessary for a circular economy built on renewable natural resources. Among the largest contributors to the final cost of a biomass conversion product is the cost of the initial biomass feedstock, representing a significant challenge in effective biomass utilization. Another major challenge is in identifying the correct products for development, which must be able to satisfy the need for both low-cost, drop-in fossil fuel replacements and novel, high-value fine chemicals (and/or commodity chemicals). Both challenges can be met by utilizing wastes or by-products from biomass processing, which have very limited starting cost, to yield platform chemicals. Specifically, sugar crop processing (e.g., sugarcane, sugar beet) is a mature industry that produces high volumes of by-products with significant potential for valorization. This review focuses specifically on the production of acetoin (3-hydroxybutanone), 2,3-butanediol, and C4 dicarboxylic (succinic, malic, and fumaric) acids with emphasis on biochemical conversion and targeted upgrading of sugar crop products/by-products. These C4 compounds are easily derived from fermentations and can be converted into many different final products, including food, fragrance, and cosmetic additives, as well as sustainable biofuels and other chemicals. State-of-the-art literature pertaining to optimization strategies for microbial conversion of sugar crop byproducts to C4 chemicals (e.g., bagasse, molasses) is reviewed, along with potential routes for upgrading and valorization. Directions and opportunities for future research and industrial biotechnology development are discussed.

Abstract
Fumaric acid sludge (FAS) by-produced from phthalic anhydride production wastewater treatment contains a large amount of refractory organic compounds with a complex composition, which will cause environmental pollution unless it is treated in a deep, harmless manner. FAS included saturated carboxylic acid, more than 60%, and unsaturated carboxylic acid, close to 30%, which accounted for the total mass of dry sludge. A new oil well drilling fluid filtrate loss reducer, poly(AM-AMPS-FAS) (PAAF), was synthesized by copolymerizing FAS with acrylamide (AM) and 2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS). Without a refining requirement for FAS, it can be used as a polymerizable free radical monomer for the synthesis of PAAF after a simple drying process. The copolymer PAAF synthesis process was studied, and the optimal monomer mass ratio was determined to be AM:AMPS:FAS = 1:1:1. The temperature resistance of the synthesized PAAF was significantly improved when 5% sodium silicate was added as a cross-linking agent. The structural characterization and evaluation of temperature and complex saline resistance performance of PAAF were carried out. The FT-IR results show that the structure of PAAF contained amide groups and sulfonic acid groups. The TGA results show that PAAF has good temperature resistance. As an oilfield filtrate loss reducer, the cost-effective copolymer PAAF not only has excellent temperature and complex saline resistance, the API filtration loss (FL) was only 13.2 mL/30 min after 16 h of hot rolling and aging at 150 °C in the complex saline-based mud, which is smaller compared with other filtrate loss reducer copolymers, but it also has little effect on the rheological properties of drilling fluid.

Abstract
Due to mounting impacts of climate change, particularly increased incidence of drought, hence water scarcity, it has become imperative to develop new technologies for recovering water from nutrient-rich, water-replete effluents other than sewage. Notably, anaerobic digestate could be harnessed for the purpose of water recovery by repurposing digestate-borne minerals as nutrients in fermentative processes. The high concentrations of ammonium, phosphate, sulfate, and metals in anaerobic digestate are veritable microbial nutrients that could be harnessed for bio-production of bulk and specialty chemicals. Tethering nutrient sequestration from anaerobic digestate to bio-product accumulation offers promise for concomitant water recovery, bio-chemical production, and possible phosphate recovery. In this review, we explore the potential of anaerobic digestate as a nutrient source and as a buffering agent in fermentative production of glutamine, glutamate, fumarate, lactate, and succinate. Additionally, we discuss the potential of synthetic biology as a tool for enhancing nutrient removal from anaerobic digestate and for expanding the range of products derivable from digestate-based fermentations. Strategies that harness the nutrients in anaerobic digestate with bio-product accumulation and water recovery could have far-reaching implications on sustainable management of nutrient-rich manure, tannery, and fish processing effluents that also contain high amounts of water. KEY POINTS: • Anaerobic digestate may serve as a source of nutrients in fermentation. • Use of digestate in fermentation would lead to the recovery of valuable water.

Abstract
The current work investigates the impact of using immobilized Rhizopus oryzae NRRL 1526 for bioproduction of fumaric acid using agro-industrial residues as feedstock. This use of agro-industrial residues, a renewable feedstock, for the production of bio-based platform chemical makes the process cost-competitive as well as greener by preventing the release of assimilable organic carbon to the environment, thereby reducing the generation of greenhouse gases. Immobilization of R. oryzae has been proposed previously to alleviate operational difficulties confronted during free mycelial fungal fermentation. To this effect, three synthetic refuse materials namely polystyrene foam, polyester sponge and polyurethane foam were investigated for their suitability towards fumaric acid bioproduction. Polystyrene foam was identified as the most suitable support material for immobilization as well as fumaric acid production. In addition to the considerable reduction in the lag-phase (from 48 to 24 h) the reduction in the size of the support material from cubes of 1 cm to beads of 0.1-0.3 cm led to a 42% improvement in fumaric acid production (27 g/L against 19 g/L). Growing the polystyrene foam bead immobilized R. oryzae on apple pomace ultrafiltration sludge as sole feedstock yielded a final fumaric acid titer of 7.9 g/L whereas free mycelial fermentation yielded 6.3 g/L. Moreover, upon operating the fermentation with intermittent feeding, a three-fold increase (1.7 g/L to 5.1 g/L) in fumaric acid production was obtained upon supplementation of the apple pomace sludge media with molasses, an agro-industrial residue, as feed.

Abstract
The notion of a “biobased economy” in the context of a developing country such as South Africa (SA) necessitates the development of technologies that utilize sustainable feedstocks, have simple and robust operations, are feasible at small scale and produce a variety of valuable bioproducts, thus fitting the biorefinery concept. This case study focuses on the microbial production of higher-value products from selected organic waste streams abundant in the South African agricultural sector using microbes adapted to utilize different parts of biomass waste streams. A ruminant-based carboxylate platform based on mixed or undefined anaerobic co-cultures of rumen microorganisms can convert the carbohydrate polymers in the lignocellulosic part of organic waste streams to carboxylic acids that can be upgraded to biofuels or green chemicals. Furthermore, yeast and fungi can convert the simpler carbohydrates (such as the sugars and malic acid in grape and apple pomace) to ethanol and high-value carboxylic acids, such as lactic, fumaric, succinic and citric acid. This review will discuss the combinational use of the ruminal carboxylate platform and native or recombinant yeasts to valorize biomass waste streams through the production of higher-value organic acids with various applications.

A comprehensive evaluation of the chemical profiles and biological properties of six geophytes from Turkey: Sources of bioactive compounds for novel nutraceuticals. Food Res Int 2021; 140:110068. [PMID: 33648291 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.110068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2020] [Revised: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Geophytes are gaining interest as sources of natural ingredients in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical area. In this sense, six bulbous plant species from Turkey are investigated, namely Hyacinthella campanulata K.Perss. & Wendelbo, Muscari neglectum Guss. ex Ten., Tulipa humilis herb., Iris stenophylla Hausskn. ex Baker, Galanthus elwesii Hook. f. and Crocus danfordiae Maw. with the aim to highlight their chemical compositions and biological properties. Polyphenolic profiles of the different plant parts (flower, bulb and leaf) of the six genotypes were evaluated using colorimetric methods as well LC-MS/MS. The antioxidant properties and enzymes inhibitory potential (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, tyrosinase and cholinesterases) of the extracts were determined. Overall, highest total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were observed in the leaf extracts of the studied species, except for M. neglectum (flower extract) and T. humilis (flower extract). LC-MS/MS analysis revealed the abundance of some phenolic compounds including quinic acid, hesperidin and chlorogenic acid in selective extracts. The extracts showed significant antioxidant potentials, with leaf extract of the I. stenophylla being more potent, which is linked to its high phenolic contents. All the extracts displayed notable anti-acetylcholinesterase (1.77 - 2.53 mg GALAE/g) and tyrosinase (54.9-67.20 mg KAE/g). Selective extracts have showed activity against butyrylcholinesterase, with bulb extract of M. neglectum (2.99 mg GALAE/g), I. stenophylla (2.53 mg GALAE/g) and G. elwesii (2.52 mg GALAE/g) showing highest activity. Modest activity was observed against α-amylase and α-glucosidase. The experimental data gathered herein is the first report on the phytochemical and biological attributes of these bulbous plant species which project them as potential sources of biologically active compounds for phytomedicines and nutraceuticals development.

Abstract
Huge quantities of apple orchard waste (AOW) generated could be regarded as a promising alternative energy source for fuel and material production. Conventional and traditional processes for disposal of these wastes are neither economical nor environment friendly. Hence, sustainable technologies are required to be developed to solve this long-term existence and continuous growing problem. In light of these issues, this review pays attention towards sustainable and renewable systems, various value-added products from an economic and environmental perspective. Refined bio-product derived from AOW contributes to resource and energy demand comprising of biomethane, bioethanol, biofuels, bio-fertilizers, biochar, and biochemicals, such as organic acid, and enzymes. However, the market implementation of biological recovery requires reliable process technology integrated with an eco-friendly and economic production chain, classified management.

Capability Enhancement of Fumaric Acid Production by Rhizopus arrhizus Through Carbon-Nitrogen Sources Coordination. Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2020; 193:1231-1237. [PMID: 33237556 DOI: 10.1007/s12010-020-03461-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 11/08/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Fumaric acid production from the fermentation process by Rhizopus was considered a potential method. But poor conversion efficiency and low space-time productivity greatly hampered industrial production. Here, we reported improving these problems through carbon-nitrogen sources coordination optimization strategy. Five commonly used nitrogen sources were selected to conduct element analysis and fermentation efficiency comparison. Casein was proven to be the optimum nitrogen source and further investigated in a stirred-tank reactor. It showed that the fermentation cycle was significantly shortened by the application of casein. Combined with optimization of glucose content, the space-time productivity of fumaric acid reached 0.76 g/L h with a yield to 0.31 g/g glucose, which was the highest among the results gotten in the stirred-tank reactor. It illustrated that carbon-nitrogen sources coordination optimization strategy was in favor of the improvement of the fermentation process and laid a promising foundation for the development of fumaric acid industrial production.

Abstract
Dicarboxylic acids are widely used in fine chemical and food industries as well as the monomer for polymerisation of high molecular material. Given the problems of environmental contamination and sustainable development faced by traditional production of dicarboxylic acids based on petrol, new approaches such as bio-based production of dicarboxylic acids drew more attentions. The yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was regarded as an ideal organism for bio-based production of dicarboxylic acids with high tolerance to acidic and hyperosmotic environments, robust growth using a broad range of substrates, great convenience for genetic manipulation, stable inheritance via sub-cultivation, and food compatibility. In this review, the production of major dicarboxylates via S. cerevisiae was concluded and the challenges and opportunities facing were discussed.Key Points• Summary of current production of major dicarboxylic acids by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.• Discussion of influence factors on four-carbon dicarboxylic acids production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.• Outlook of potential production of five- and six-carbon dicarboxylic acids by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
