Abstract
Plastics are indispensable in everyday life and industry, but the environmental impact of plastic waste on ecosystems and human health is a huge concern. Microbial biotechnology offers sustainable routes to plastic production and waste management. Bacteria and fungi can produce plastics, as well as their constituent monomers, from renewable biomass, such as crops, agricultural residues, wood and organic waste. Bacteria and fungi can also degrade plastics. We review state-of-the-art microbial technologies for sustainable production and degradation of bio-based plastics and highlight the potential contributions of microorganisms to a circular economy for plastics.

Abstract
Food waste (FW) contains many nutritional components such as proteins, lipids, fats, polysaccharides, carbohydrates, and metal ions, which can be reused in some processes to produce value-added products. Furthermore, FW can be converted into biogas, biohydrogen, and biodiesel, and this type of green energy can be used as an alternative to nonrenewable fuel and reduce reliance on fossil fuel sources. It has been demonstrated in many reports that at the laboratory scale production of biochemicals using FW is as good as pure carbon sources. The goal of this paper is to review approaches used globally to promote turning FW into useable products and green energy. In this context, the present review article highlights deeply in a transdisciplinary manner the sources, types, impacts, characteristics, pre-treatment strategies, and potential management of FW into value-added products. We find that FW could be upcycled into different valuable products such as eco-friendly green fuels, organic acids, bioplastics, enzymes, fertilizers, char, and single-cell protein, after the suitable pre-treatment method. The results confirmed the technical feasibility of all the reviewed transformation processes of FW. Furthermore, life cycle and techno-economic assessment studies regarding the socio-economic, environmental, and engineering aspects of FW management are discussed. The reviewed articles showed that energy recovery from FW in various forms is economically feasible.

Potential and Restrictions of Food-Waste Valorization through Fermentation Processes. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2023. [DOI: 10.3390/fermentation9030274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 03/15/2023]
Abstract
Food losses (FL) and waste (FW) occur throughout the food supply chain. These residues are disposed of on landfills producing environmental issues due to pollutants released into the air, water, and soil. Several research efforts have focused on upgrading FL and FW in a portfolio of added-value products and energy vectors. Among the most relevant research advances, biotechnological upgrading of these residues via fermentation has been demonstrated to be a potential valorization alternative. Despite the multiple investigations performed on the conversion of FL and FW, a lack of comprehensive and systematic literature reviews evaluating the potential of fermentative processes to upgrade different food residues has been identified. Therefore, this article reviews the use of FL and FW in fermentative processes considering the composition, operating conditions, platforms, fermentation product application, and restrictions. This review provides the framework of food residue fermentation based on reported applications, experimental, and theoretical data. Moreover, this review provides future research ideas based on the analyzed information. Thus, potential applications and restrictions of the FL and FW used for fermentative processes are highlighted. In the end, food residues fermentation must be considered a mandatory step toward waste minimization, a circular economy, and the development of more sustainable production and consumption patterns.

Abstract
Zymomonas mobilis is a well-recognized ethanologenic bacterium with outstanding characteristics which make it a promising platform for the biotechnological production of relevant building blocks and fine chemicals compounds. In the last years, research has been focused on the physiological, genetic, and metabolic engineering strategies aiming at expanding Z. mobilis ability to metabolize lignocellulosic substrates toward biofuel production. With the expansion of the Z. mobilis molecular and computational modeling toolbox, the potential of this bacterium as a cell factory has been thoroughly explored. The number of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and fluxomic data that is becoming available for this bacterium has increased. For this reason, in the forthcoming years, systems biology is expected to continue driving the improvement of Z. mobilis for current and emergent biotechnological applications. While the existing molecular toolbox allowed the creation of stable Z. mobilis strains with improved traits for pinpointed biotechnological applications, the development of new and more flexible tools is crucial to boost the engineering capabilities of this bacterium. Novel genetic toolkits based on the CRISPR-Cas9 system and recombineering have been recently used for the metabolic engineering of Z. mobilis. However, they are mostly at the proof-of-concept stage and need to be further improved.

Abstract
The increasing demand for petroleum-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET) grows population impacts daily. A greener and more sustainable raw material, lignocellulose, is a promising replacement of petroleum-based raw materials to convert into bio-PET. This paper reviews the recent development of lignocellulose conversion into bio-PET through bioethanol reaction pathways. This review addresses lignocellulose properties, bioethanol production processes, separation processes of bioethanol, and the production of bio-terephthalic acid and bio-polyethylene terephthalate. The article also discusses the current industries that manufacture alcohol-based raw materials for bio-PET or bio-PET products. In the future, the production of bio-PET from biomass will increase due to the scarcity of petroleum-based raw materials.

Abstract
Biorefining of Chinese food waste (FW) into transport fuels was assessed in terms of amount of fuel produced and over all Global Warming Potential (GWP) for six different scenarios including biogas, biomethane, bioethanol and biodiesel in different combinations. The life-cycle perspective used included GWP aspects of material and energy use, emissions during biorefining and management of residues, as well as substitution of fossil fuels according to the energy content of biofuels. All of the six FW biorefineries revealed savings in GWP ranging from -19 to -138 kg CO2 eqv. per ton of wet FW. Compared to the reference scenario with only anaerobic digestion (S0), introducing biogas upgrading to biomethane (S1) improved the GWP by 37%; while producing bioethanol prior to anaerobic digestion (S2) decreased the savings in GWP. Introducing biodiesel prior to anaerobic digestion (S3) revealed around 60% improvement in GWP, while combining biodiesel and biomethane gave the largest improvement in GWP, 84% compared to the reference scenario, and the most fuels (around 2400 MJ in terms of 30 kg biodiesel and 35 kg biomethane per ton of wet FW). A sensitivity analysis revealed that the electricity production based on the biogas was an important parameter and appears in all refineries, while the results was less sensitive to the production of biodiesel and biomethane. The residue management contributed also to the GWP, but did not vary much among the biorefinery scenarios.

Abstract
This work reports on production of ethanol with simultaneous fixing of nitrogen (N2) using the anaerobic bacterium Zymomonas mobilis DSM 473. A batch fermentation with an initial glucose concentration of 50 g L-1, an initial pH of ∼5.5, an inoculum size of 10% by volume and a N2 feeding rate of 50 mL min-1 without mechanical agitation was found to provide the highest ethanol productivity (0.401 g L-1 h-1). Ethanol yield on glucose exceeded 97% of the theoretical maximum. The nitrogen content of the microbial biomass was 10.4% w/w at 65 h and all of it was derived by fixation of dinitrogen. Repeated-batch fermentations were investigated for ethanol production using simultaneous nitrogen fixation. A 2-cycle repeated-batch fermentation lasting 71 h gave a maximum ethanol yield on glucose of 0.475 g g-1 and an ethanol productivity of 0.675 g L-1 h-1. The yield (0.415 g g-1) and productivity (0.638 g L-1 h-1) were reduced in a 3-cycle repeated batch operation lasting 94 h. The need to fix nitrogen did not reduce the final achievable ethanol concentration, or the ethanol yield on glucose, relative to fermentations provided with fixed nitrogen, but did reduce the ethanol productivity by ∼82% because less cell mass was produced.

Abstract
In the present study, an attempt has been made to extend the application of garbage enzyme (GE) (fermented mixture of jaggery, organic waste, and water in the ratio 1:3:10) from the domestic wastewater to the urban municipal landfill leachate of Ghazipur, Okhla and Bhalswa landfill sites of Delhi (India). The Leachate Pollution Index (LPI) has been found to be 27.6, 25.4 and 29.2, respectively. The competence of GE was assessed by comparing the initial and final LPIs. The GE was added to the leachate for the contact period of 7-28 days under different mix proportions of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The maximum final LPI reduction of 74.75% was observed in the Okhla landfill leachate for mixing the proportion of 20% GE after 28 days. However, the mixing ratio of 5% GE showed significant reduction of 60.61% and 55.12% in the final LPI of Ghazipur and Bhalswa landfill leachate, respectively.

Abstract
This work developed a novel two-stage bioprocess for electricity generation from bakery waste (BW). In the first stage, commercial glucoamylase was utilized to hydrolyze the BW to produce soluble BW hydrolysate. It was found that 100 g BW could be converted to 32 g hydrolysis solid and 760 mL BW hydrolysate. The highest glucose production of 21.9 g/L could be achieved within 5 h. In the second stage, the soluble BW hydrolysate was utilized as feedstock for electricity generation in microbial fuel cell (MFC). The maximum voltage of 0.386 V was obtained. The power density reached a peak value of 29.96 mW/m2 when the external resistance was 1090 Ω. It could be potentially utilized to transform high-starch containing raw materials into biofuels production which could reduce the cost of biofuels production effectively for industrial application.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been widely applied as an economic option for food waste (FW) treatment. In this study, the group treated with ethanol pre-fermentation (EP) for 12 h (EP12) exhibited the highest cumulative biogas yield (206 mL/g-volatile solid) during AD process and therefore it was used to illuminate the underlying metabolic processes of AD with EP. Carbon isotope labeled glucose was supplemented to FW substrate, and the EP process was found to alleviate the acidification inhibition with conducting extremely high carbon flux towards ethanol formation (43.7%). Then an efficient acetogenesis phase was also observed in EP12 group, because of high carbon conversion rate from ethanol to acetate. Overall, higher carbon conversion rate to methane (90.1%) during methanogenesis was found in the AD system with EP than in the control experiment (80.3%). Thus, we quantitatively confirmed that EP affects the AD metabolism of FW in terms of carbon flow distribution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing fresh water consumption and nutrient addition will be an effective way to reduce the whole cost of bioethanol production. On the other hand, treatment of biogas slurry derived from anaerobic digestion (AD), in which a great amount of nutrients is still left, costs too much to remove these pollutants. It would be beneficial for both digestate valorization and ethanol production if biogas slurry is used for producing bioethanol. However, both hyperosmosis and potential biotoxic components of the biogas slurry can severely inhibit fermentation. RESULTS In this study, two rounds of atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis combined with adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) were applied to improve the adaptability and genetic stability of Zymomonas mobilis in biogas slurry. Mutants D95 and S912 were identified. Growth of the mutants was remarkably improved in biogas slurry. The highest ethanol productivity reached 0.63 g/L/h which was 61.7% higher than ZM4 (0.39 g/L/h). Genomic re-sequencing results also revealed that single nucleic variations (SNVs) and Indels occurred in the mutants, which are likely related to inhibitor in biogas slurry and low pH tolerance. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that these mutant strains have great potential to produce ethanol using biogas slurry to replace fresh water and nutrients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellulosic biofuels are sustainable compared to fossil fuels. However, inhibitors, such as acetic acid generated during lignocellulose pretreatment and hydrolysis, would significantly inhibit microbial fermentation efficiency. Microbial mutants able to tolerate high concentration of acetic acid are needed urgently to alleviate this inhibition. RESULTS Zymomonas mobilis mutants AQ8-1 and AC8-9 with enhanced tolerance against acetic acid were generated via a multiplex atmospheric and room temperature plasma (mARTP) mutagenesis. The growth and ethanol productivity of AQ8-1 and AC8-9 were both improved in the presence of 5.0-8.0 g/L acetic acid. Ethanol yield reached 84% of theoretical value in the presence of 8.0 g/L acetic acid (~ pH 4.0). Furthermore, a mutant tolerant to pH 3.5, named PH1-29, was generated via the third round of ARTP mutagenesis. PH1-29 showed enhanced growth and ethanol production under both sterilized/unsterilized conditions at pH 4.0 or 3.5. Intracellular NAD levels revealed that mARTP mutants could modulate NADH/NAD+ ratio to respond to acetic acid and low pH stresses. Moreover, genomic re-sequencing revealed that eleven single nucleic variations (SNVs) were likely related to acetic acid and low pH tolerance. Most SNVs were targeted in regions between genes ZMO0952 and ZMO0956, ZMO0152 and ZMO0153, and ZMO0373 and ZMO0374. CONCLUSIONS The multiplex mutagenesis strategy mARTP was efficient for enhancing the tolerance in Z. mobilis. The ARTP mutants generated in this study could serve as potential cellulosic ethanol producers.

Abstract
The development of sustainable bioethanol fuel production from food waste has increasingly become an attractive topic. Food waste is recognized as the most available and costless feedstock. Therefore, ethanol production has been adopted as cost-efficient and an ecological way for FW disposal. This paper reviewed the microorganisms utilized for ethanol fermentation, the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis on ethanol concentration, optimization of accurate process parameters, and recycling of huge volumes of stillage for ethanol production towards reducing any incurred environmental burdens and minimizing the cost. The statistical tools which may enhance the process efficiency had been presented. Also, the perspective and the future development were introduced. All these aimed to fully utilize the food waste and also reduce the cost for side-product in this process; proper operation conditions and the control methods for stillage recycling were considered as the methods to improve ethanol fermentation from food waste.

Abstract
Heavy reliance on petroleum-based products drives continuous exploitation of fossil fuels, and results in serious environmental and climate problems. To address such an issue, there is a shift from petroleum sources to renewable ones. Biochemical conversion via fermentation is a primary platform for converting renewable sources to biofuels and bulk chemicals. In order to provide cost-competitive alternatives, it is imperative to develop efficient, cost-saving, and robust fermentation processes. Non-sterile fermentation offers several benefits compared to sterile fermentation, including elimination of sterility, reduced maintenance requirements, relatively simple bioreactor design, and simplified operation. Thus, cost effectiveness of non-sterile fermentation makes it a practical platform for low cost, large volume production of biofuels and bulk chemicals. Many approaches have been developed to conduct non-sterile fermentation without sacrificing the yields and productivities of fermentation products. This review focuses on the strategies for conducting non-sterile fermentation. The challenges facing non-sterile fermentation are also discussed.

Industrial robustness linked to the gluconolactonase from Zymomonas mobilis. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2017; 101:5089-5099.

Abstract
The physiological characteristics and the potential gluconolactone production of the gluconolactonase-deficient strain, Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 gnlΔ, were investigated via growth inhibitory assay and biotransformation of glucose and fructose into gluconolactone and sorbitol, respectively. The results of ethanol fermentation studies performed in the presence of high concentration of glucose (>200 g l-1) under fermentative or aerobic conditions indicated that a significant reduction of volumetric ethanol productivity from the strain of ZM4 gnlΔ was noticeable due to the reduced rates of specific growth, sugar uptake, and biomass yield as compared with those of the parental strain ZM4. The biotransformation prepared at pH 6.0 using the permeabilized cell indicated that gluconic acid from ZM4 gnlΔ was still produced as a major product (67 g l-1) together with sorbitol (65 g l-1) rather than gluconolactone after 24 h. Only small amount of gluconolactone was transiently overproduced up to 9 g l-1, but at the end of biotransformation, all gluconolactone were oxidized into gluconic acid. This indicated that autolysis of gluconolactone at the pH led to such results despite under gluconolactonase inactivation conditions. The physiological characteristics of ZM4 gnlΔ was further investigated under various stress conditions, including suboptimal pH (3.5~6.0), temperature (25~40 °C), and presence of growth inhibitory molecules including hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, acetic acid, furfural, and so forth. The results indicated that ZM4 gnlΔ was more susceptible at high glucose concentration, low pH of 3.5, and high temperature of 40 °C and in the presence of 4 mM H2O2 comparing with ZM4. Therefore, the results were evident that gluconolactonase in Z. mobilis contributed to industrial robustness and anti-stress regulation.

Abstract
This study developed a holistic approach which was based on the ultra-fast hydrolysis of food waste with the fungal mash rich in various hydrolytic enzymes produced in situ from food waste as well. After the 8-h hydrolytic treatment, the solid residue and liquor were separated. It was found that the produced solid residue can meet all the requirements for biofertilizer in terms of NPK and heavy metal contents, while the separated liquor with high soluble organics concentration was further subject to anaerobic digestion for enhanced biomethane production. The results showed that 0.41kg of biofertilizer with a moisture content of 76.9% and 54.4L of biomethane could be produced from 1kg of food waste. As such, it is expected that this study may lead to the paradigm shift in food waste management with the ultimate target of zero-solid discharge.

Abstract
In this study, the feasibility of biohydrogen production from enzymatic hydrolysis of food waste was investigated. Food waste (solid-to-liquid ratio of 10%, w/v) was first hydrolyzed by commercial glucoamylase to release glucose (24.35 g/L) in the food waste hydrolysate. Then, the obtained food waste hydrolysate was used as substrate for biohydrogen production in the batch and continuous (continuous stirred tank reactor, CSTR) systems. It was observed that the maximum cumulative hydrogen production of 5850 mL was achieved with a yield of 245.7 mL hydrogen/g glucose (1.97 mol hydrogen/mol glucose) in the batch system. In the continuous system, the effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on biohydrogen production from food waste hydrolysate was investigated. The optimal HRT obtained from this study was 6 h with the highest hydrogen production rate of 8.02 mmol/(h·L). Ethanol and acetate were the major soluble microbial products with low propionate production at all HRTs. Enzymatic hydrolysis of food waste could effectively accelerate hydrolysis speed, improve substrate utilization rate and increase hydrogen yield.

Abstract
Waste pastry (6%, w/v) was hydrolyzed by the produced glucoamylase and protease to obtain the glucose (19.8g/L) and free amino nitrogen (179mg/L) solution. Then, the effect of organic loading rate (OLR) (8-40kgCOD/(m3d)) on dark fermentative hydrogen production in the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and continuous mixed immobilized sludge reactor (CMISR) from waste pastry hydrolysate was investigated and compared. The maximum hydrogen production rate of CSTR (277.76mL/(hL)) and CMISR (320.2mL/(hL)) were achieved at OLR of 24kgCOD/(m3d) and 32kgCOD/(m3d), respectively. Carbon recovery ranged from 75.2-84.1% in the CSTR and CMISR with the balance assumed to be converted to biomass. One gram waste pastry could produce 0.33g (1.83mmol) glucose which could be further converted to 79.24mL (3.54mmol) hydrogen in the CMISR or 91.66mL (4.09mmol) hydrogen in the CSTR. This is the first study which reports dark fermentative hydrogen production from waste pastry.

Abstract
Waste pastry was hydrolyzed by glucoamylase and protease which were obtained from solid state fermentation of Aspergillus awamori and Aspergillus oryzae to produce waste pastry hydrolysate. Then, the effects of hydraulic retention times (HRTs) (4-12h) on hydrogen production rate (HPR) in the suspended microbial growth system (continuous stirred tank reactor, CSTR) and attached microbial growth system (continuous mixed immobilized sludge reactor, CMISR) from waste pastry hydrolysate were investigated. The maximum HPRs of CSTR (201.8mL/(h·L)) and CMISR (255.3mL/(h·L)) were obtained at HRT of 6h and 4h, respectively. The first-order reaction could be used to describe the enzymatic hydrolysis of waste pastry. The carbon content of the waste pastry remained 22.8% in the undigested waste pastry and consumed 77.2% for carbon dioxide and soluble microbial products. To our knowledge, this is the first study which reports biohydrogen production from waste pastry.

Abstract
Zymomonas mobilis is a natural ethanologen with many desirable industrial biocatalyst characteristics. In this review, we will discuss work to develop Z. mobilis as a model system for biofuel production from the perspectives of substrate utilization, development for industrial robustness, potential product spectrum, strain evaluation and fermentation strategies. This review also encompasses perspectives related to classical genetic tools and emerging technologies in this context.

Abstract
Raw materials and pollution control are key issues for the ethanol fermentation industry. To address these concerns, food waste was selected as fermentation substrate, and stillage reflux was carried out in this study. Reflux was used seven times during fermentation. Corresponding ethanol and reducing sugar were detected. Accumulation of by-products, such as organic acid, sodium chloride, and glycerol, was investigated. Lactic acid was observed to accumulate up to 120g/L, and sodium chloride reached 0.14mol/L. Other by-products did not accumulate. The first five cycles of reflux increased ethanol concentration, which prolonged fermentation time. Further increases in reflux time negatively influenced ethanol fermentation. Single-factor analysis with lactic acid and sodium chloride demonstrated that both factors affected ethanol fermentation, but lactic acid induced more effects.
