Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:1023325. [PMID: 36338139 PMCID: PMC9626825 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1023325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The demand for non-petroleum-based, especially biodegradable plastics has been on the rise in the last decades. Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) is a biopolymer composed of 6–14 carbon atoms produced from renewable feedstocks and has become the focus of research. In recent years, researchers aimed to overcome the disadvantages of single strains, and artificial microbial consortia have been developed into efficient platforms. In this work, we reconstructed the previously developed microbial consortium composed of engineered Pseudomonas putida KT∆ABZF (p2-a-J) and Escherichia coli ∆4D (ACP-SCLAC). The maximum titer of mcl-PHA reached 3.98 g/L using 10 g/L glucose, 5 g/L octanoic acid as substrates by the engineered P. putida KT∆ABZF (p2-a-J). On the other hand, the maximum synthesis capacity of the engineered E. coli ∆4D (ACP-SCLAC) was enhanced to 3.38 g/L acetic acid and 0.67 g/L free fatty acids (FFAs) using 10 g/L xylose as substrate. Based on the concept of “nutrient supply-detoxification,” the engineered E. coli ∆4D (ACP-SCLAC) provided nutrient for the engineered P. putida KT∆ABZF (p2-a-J) and it acted to detoxify the substrates. Through this functional division and rational design of the metabolic pathways, the engineered P. putida-E. coli microbial consortium could produce 1.30 g/L of mcl-PHA from 10 g/L glucose and xylose. Finally, the consortium produced 1.02 g/L of mcl-PHA using lignocellulosic hydrolysate containing 10.50 g/L glucose and 10.21 g/L xylose as the substrate. The consortium developed in this study has good potential for mcl-PHA production and provides a valuable reference for the production of high-value biological products using inexpensive carbon sources.

Abstract
Lignin represents the most abundant renewable aromatics in nature, which has complicated and heterogeneous structure. The rapid development of biotransformation technology has brought new opportunities to achieve the complete lignin valorization. Especially, Rhodococcus sp. possesses excellent capabilities to metabolize aromatic hydrocarbons degraded from lignin. Furthermore, it can convert these toxic compounds into high value added bioproducts, such as microbial lipids, polyhydroxyalkanoate and carotenoid et al. Accordingly, this review will discuss the potentials of Rhodococcus sp. as a cell factory for lignin biotransformation, including phenol tolerance, lignin depolymerization and lignin-derived aromatic hydrocarbon metabolism. The detailed metabolic mechanism for lignin biotransformation and bioproducts spectrum of Rhodococcus sp. will be comprehensively discussed. The available molecular tools for the conversion of lignin by Rhodococcus sp. will be reviewed, and the possible direction for lignin biotransformation in the future will also be proposed.

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13071170. [PMID: 33917314 PMCID: PMC8038657 DOI: 10.3390/polym13071170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Herein, corn stover (CS) was pretreated by less corrosive lewis acid FeCl3 acidified solutions of neat and aqueous deep eutectic solvent (DES), aqueous ChCl and glycerol at 120 °C for 4 h with single FeCl3 pretreatment as control. It was unexpected that acidified solutions of both ChCl and glycerol were found to be more efficient at removing lignin and xylan, leading to higher enzymatic digestibility of pretreated CS than acidified DES. Comparatively, acidified ChCl solution exhibited better pretreatment performance than acidified glycerol solution. In addition, 20 wt% water in DES dramatically reduced the capability of DES for delignification and xylan removal and subsequent enzymatic cellulose saccharification of pretreated CS. Correlation analysis showed that enzymatic saccharification of pretreated CS was highly correlated to delignification and cellulose crystallinity, but lowly correlated to xylan removal. Recyclability experiments of different acidified pretreatment solutions showed progressive decrease in the pretreatment performance with increasing recycling runs. After four cycles, the smallest decrease in enzymatic cellulose conversion (22.07%) was observed from acidified neat DES pretreatment, while the largest decrease (43.80%) was from acidified ChCl pretreatment. Those findings would provide useful information for biomass processing with ChCl, glycerol and ChCl-glycerol DES.

Abstract
Lignin, an abundant renewable resource in nature, is a highly heterogeneous biopolymer consisting of phenylpropanoid units. It is essential for sustainable utilization of biomass to convert lignin to value-added products. However, there are technical obstacles for lignin valorization due to intrinsic heterogeneity. The emerging of synthetic biology technologies brings new opportunities for lignin breakdown and utilization. In this review, we discussed the applications of synthetic biology on lignin conversion, especially the production of value-added products, such as aromatic chemicals, ring-cleaved chemicals from lignin-derived aromatics and bio-active substances. Synthetic biology will offer new potential strategies for lignin valorization by optimizing lignin degradation enzymes, building novel artificial converting pathways, and improving the chassis of model microorganisms.

Abstract
In the fermentation process of biorefinery, industrial strains are normally subjected to adverse environmental stresses, which leads to their slow growth, yield decline, a substantial increase in energy consumption, and other negative consequences, which ultimately seriously hamper the development of biorefinery. How to minimize the impact of stress on microorganisms is of great significance. This review not only reveals the damaging effects of different environmental stresses on microbial strains but also introduces commonly used strategies to improve microbial tolerance, including adaptive evolution, reprogramming of the industrial host based on genetic circuits, global transcription machinery engineering (gTME) and bioprocess integration. Furthermore, by integrating the advantages of these strategies and reducing the cost of system operation, the tolerance of industrial strains, combined with production efficiency and process stability, will be greatly improved, and the development prospects of biorefinery will be more widespread.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The induction of cellulase production by insoluble carbon source cellulose was a common and efficient strategy, but has some drawbacks, such as difficult fermentation operation, substantial cellulase loss, long fermentation time, and high energy-consumption, resulting in high cost of cellulase production in industry. These drawbacks can be overcome if soluble carbon sources are utilized as the inducers for cellulase production. However, until now the induction efficiency of most soluble carbon sources, especially lactose and glucose, is still inferior to cellulose despite extensive efforts have been made by either optimizing the fermentation process or constructing the recombinant strains. Therefore, strain improvement by metabolic engineering for high induction efficiency of soluble carbon sources is of great interest. RESULTS Trichoderma reesei mutant SEU-7 was constructed from T. reesei RUT-C30 with the overexpression of endogenous gene β-glucosidase (BGL1) by insertional mutagenesis via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (AMT). Compared to RUT-C30, SEU-7 displays substantially enhanced activities of both cellulase and hemicellulase when grown on either lactose or cellulose. The induction efficiency with lactose was found to be higher than cellulose in strain SEU-7. To the best of our knowledge, we achieved the highest FPase activity in SEU-7 in both batch culture (13.0 IU/mL) and fed-batch culture (47.0 IU/mL) on lactose. Moreover, SEU-7 displayed unrivaled pNPGase activity on lactose in both batch culture (81.0 IU/mL) and fed-batch culture (144.0 IU/mL) as compared to the other reported T. reesei strains in the literature grown in batch or fed-batch experiments on cellulose or lactose. This superiority of SEU-7 over RUT-C30 improves markedly the saccharification ability of SEU-7 on pretreated corn stover. The overexpression of gene BGL1 was found either at the mRNA or at the protein level in the mutant strains with increased cellulase production in comparison with RUT-C30, but only SEU-7 displayed much higher expression of gene BGL1 on lactose than on cellulose. Two copies of gene BGL1 were inserted into the chromosome of T. reesei SEU-7 between KI911141.1:347357 and KI911141.1:347979, replacing the original 623-bp fragment that is not within any genes' coding region. The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that the mRNA levels of both cellulase and hemicellulase were upregulated significantly in SEU-7, together with the MFS transporter CRT1 and the XYR1 nuclear importer KAP8. CONCLUSIONS Recombinant T. reesei SEU-7 displays hyper-production of both cellulase and hemicellulase on lactose with the highest FPase activity and pNPGase activity for T. reesei, enabling highly efficient saccharification of pretreated biomass. For the first time, the induction efficiency for cellulase production by lactose in T. reesei was reported to be higher than that by cellulose. This outperformance of T. reesei SEU-7, which is strain-specific, is attributed to both the overexpression of gene BGL and the collateral mutation. Moreover, the increased transcription levels of cellulase genes, the related transcription factors, and the MFS transporter CRT1 contribute to the outstanding cellulase production of SEU-7. Our research advances strain improvement to enhance the induction efficiency of soluble carbon sources to produce cost-effective cellulase and hemicellulase in industry.

Abstract
In this study, wash liquors isolated from ethylenediamine and dry dilute acid pretreated corn stover were used to evaluate the effect of soluble materials in pretreated biomass on simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) for ethanol production, respectively. Both of the wash liquors had different impacts on enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. Enzymatic conversions of glucan and xylan monotonically decreased as wash liquor concentration increased. Whereas, with low wash liquor concentrations, xylose consumption rate, cell viability and ethanol yield were maximally stimulated in fermentation without nutrient supplementary. Soluble lignins were found as the key composition which promoted sugars utilization and cell viability without nutrient supplementary. The dual effects of soluble materials on enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation resulted in the reduction of ethanol yield as soluble materials increased in SSCF.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of ethylenediamine (EDA) on enzymatic hydrolysis with different cellulosic substrates and the approaches to reduce sugar loss in enzymatic hydrolysis were investigated. During enzymatic hydrolysis, xylose yield reduced 21.2%, 18.1% and 13.0% with 7.5mL/L EDA for AFEX pretreated corn stover (CS), washed EDA pretreated CS and CS cellulose. FTIR and GPC analysis demonstrated EDA reacted with sugar and produced high molecular weight (MW) compounds. EDA was prone to react with xylose other than glucose. H2O2 and Na2SO3 cannot prevent sugar loss in glucose/xylose-EDA mixture, although they inhibited the browning and high MW compounds formation. By decreasing temperature to 30°C, the loss of xylose yield reduced to only 3.8%, 3.6% and 4.2% with 7.5mL/L EDA in the enzymatic hydrolysis of AFEX pretreated CS, washed EDA pretreated CS and CS cellulose.

Li C, Lin F, Li Y, Wei W, Wang H, Qin L, Zhou Z, Li B, Wu F, Chen Z. A β-glucosidase hyper-production Trichoderma reesei mutant reveals a potential role of cel3D in cellulase production. Microb Cell Fact 2016; 15:151. [PMID: 27585813 PMCID: PMC5009570 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-016-0550-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2016] [Accepted: 08/23/2016] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The conversion of cellulose by cellulase to fermentable sugars for biomass-based products such as cellulosic biofuels, biobased fine chemicals and medicines is an environment-friendly and sustainable process, making wastes profitable and bringing economic benefits. Trichoderma reesei is the well-known major workhorse for cellulase production in industry, but the low β-glucosidase activity in T. reesei cellulase leads to inefficiency in biomass degradation and limits its industrial application. Thus, there are ongoing interests in research to develop methods to overcome this insufficiency. Moreover, although β-glucosidases have been demonstrated to influence cellulase production and participate in the regulation of cellulase production, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Results The T. reesei recombinant strain TRB1 was constructed from T. reesei RUT-C30 by the T-DNA-based mutagenesis. Compared to RUT-C30, TRB1 displays a significant enhancement of extracellular β-glucosidase (BGL1) activity with 17-fold increase, a moderate increase of both the endoglucanase (EG) activity and the exoglucanase (CBH) activity, a minor improvement of the total filter paper activity, and a faster cellulase induction. This superiority of TRB1 over RUT-C30 is independent on carbon sources and improves the saccharification ability of TRB1 cellulase on pretreated corn stover. Furthermore, TRB1 shows better resistance to carbon catabolite repression than RUT-C30. Secretome characterization of TRB1 shows that the amount of CBH, EG and BGL in the supernatant of T. reesei TRB1 was indeed increased along with the enhanced activities of these three enzymes. Surprisingly, qRT-PCR and gene cloning showed that in TRB1 β-glucosidase cel3D was mutated through the random insertion by AMT and was not expressed. Conclusions The T. reesei recombinant strain TRB1 constructed in this study is more desirable for industrial application than the parental strain RUT-C30, showing extracellular β-glucosidase hyper production, high cellulase production within a shorter time and a better resistance to carbon catabolite repression. Disruption of β-glucosidase cel3D in TRB1 was identified, which might contribute to the superiority of TRB1 over RUT-C30 and might play a role in the cellulase production. These results laid a foundation for future investigations to further improve cellulase enzymatic efficiency and reduce cost for T. reesei cellulase production.
