Abstract
The effect and mechanism of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) on polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymatic browning in yellow alkaline noodles (YAN) were investigated. The browning degree and PPO activity in YAN or PPO solutions decreased with the SHMP concentrations increased. Variations in pH values (pH 7-8.5) adjusted by HCl or acetic acid slightly affected the PPO activity, but SHMP inhibited PPO activity more pronounced. The inhibition of SHMP on PPO activity was irreversible. SHMP formed coordinate covalent bonds with Cu2+ to make PPO inactive. HPLC analysis revealed that SHMP reduced the browning products and led to the color of PPO-catechol systems being lightened. Furthermore, SHMP inhibited browning by hampering the auto-oxidization of intermediate products due to the change in pH value. Besides, the HPLC chromatogram, UV-vis spectrum, and mass spectrometry revealed that SHMP could convert melanin (m/z 248.97, 723.5, and 836.58) to light-colored substances (m/z 137.11).

Abstract
Microorganisms are important sources of various natural products that have been commercialized for human medicine and animal healthcare. Bacitracin is an important antibacterial natural product predominantly produced by Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis, and it is characterized by a broad antimicrobial spectrum, strong activity and low resistance, thus bacitracin is extensively applied in animal feed and veterinary medicine industries. In recent years, various strategies have been proposed to improve bacitracin production. Herein, we systematically describe the regulation of bacitracin biosynthesis in genus Bacillus and its associated mechanism, to provide a theoretical basis for bacitracin overproduction. The metabolic engineering strategies applied for bacitracin production are explored, including improving substrate utilization, using an enlarged precursor amino acid pool, increasing ATP supply and NADPH generation, and engineering transcription regulators. We also present several approaches of fermentation process optimization to facilitate the industrial large-scale production of bacitracin. Finally, the challenges and prospects associated with microbial bacitracin synthesis are discussed to facilitate the establishment of high-yield and low-cost biological factories.

Abstract
Enzyme production is critical and often costly for biorefinery. It is challenging to produce enzymes with not only high titers but also proper combinations of all required activities in a single fermentation. This work aimed at improving productivity and composition of the multiple enzyme activities required for hydrolysis of complex soybean carbohydrate in a single fermentation. A previously selected Aspergillus niger strain was used for its high carbohydrases and low protease production. Strategies of fed-batch substrate addition and programmed pH-decrease rates were evaluated. Cheap soybean hull (SH) was confirmed to induce production of all necessary carbohydrases. Surprisingly, fed-batch SH addition, originally thought to sustain substrate-inducer availability and reduce feedback repression by sugars, did not increase pectinase and cellulase production significantly and even lowered the α-galactosidase production, when compared with batch fermentation having the same total SH amount (all added initially). On the other hand, the pH-decrease rate could be effectively optimized for production of complex enzyme mixtures. The best fermentation was programmed to lower pH from 7 to 4 in 84 h, at a drop rate of .0357 per h. It produced the highest pectinase (19.1 ± .04 U/mL), α-galactosidase (15.7 ± .4 U/mL), and cellulase (.88 ± .06 FPU/mL). Producing these high enzyme activities in a single fermentation significantly improves the effectiveness and economics of enzymatic soy processing, which, e.g., can hydrolyze the 30%-35% carbohydrate in soybean meal to sugars, with minimal protein degradation, to generate high-value protein-rich products and a hydrolysate as fermentation feedstock.

Abstract
Enzymatic modification of canola meal (CM) is a potential method to enhance its nutritional value as it can depolymerize nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) and mitigate its potential antinutritive properties. Based on the previous studies, pectinase A (PA), pectinase B (PB), xylanase B (XB), and invertase (Inv) were used for the enzymatic modifications. The highest NSP depolymerization ratio was obtained when 4 g/kg of each PA, PB, and XB, and 0.2 g/kg of Inv were used during 48 h incubation at 40 °C. In the current study, changes in pH, simple sugars, sucrose, oligosaccharides, and NSP contents during the enzymatic modification (CM+E) of CM were measured and compared to Control (CM) without enzymes addition or with the addition of bacteriostat sodium azide (CM+E+NaN3). The results showed that spontaneous fermentation occurred during incubation. After incubation, the pH of the slurry decreased, lactic acid was produced, phytate disappeared, and the concentration of simple sugars decreased substantially. The NSP of the slurry was progressively depolymerized by the enzyme blend. The chemical composition and nutritive value of enzymatically-modified CM (ECM) were evaluated. Ross 308 broilers were randomly assigned to 18 cages of six birds each for the standardized ileal amino acid digestibility (SIAAD) and nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) assay. A corn/soybean meal-based basal diet formulated to meet Ross 308 breeder recommendations and two test diets contained 70% of the basal diet and 30% of CM or ECM, respectively, were fed to Ross 308 from 13 to 17 d of age. No difference was observed between SIAAD of CM and ECM. The AMEn value of ECM was 2118.0 kcal/kg on a dry matter basis which was 30.9% greater (P < 0.05) than the CM.

Abstract
Alkaline pulping using sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as soda pulping, is predominantly used to extract cellulose for pulp and papermaking. The NaOH was responsible for the dissolution and removal of lignin but unfortunately, simultaneous hydrolysis of cellulose could not be avoided. Modification for improved lignin removal and cellulose stabilization are always a technical challenge for the pulp and paper industry. Therefore, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was considered as an additive to minimize cellulose hydrolysis and thus improve the total yield of cellulose pulp. Response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) was employed for statistical modeling and optimization of NaOH and EDTA charges for maximum pulp yield, lignin removal, and cellulose content. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a significant interaction effect of NaOH and EDTA charges on pulp yield and its cellulose content. Using the predicted optimum condition of 17.7% NaOH and 10% EDTA, pulping of banana stem at 100 ± 5 °C for 30 min resulted in increasing pulp yield, lignin removal, and cellulose content by approximately 18.5%, 1.1%, and 0.6%, respectively, as compared to pulping without EDTA. Changes in the functional groups monitored using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) revealed the presence of ester and C–N stretching bands from cellulose extracted with NaOH/EDTA due to successful esterification of EDTA on the cellulose pulp. Further analysis on the viscosity average degree of polymerization found that the cellulose pulp extracted with NaOH/EDTA also has a higher degree of polymerization compared to the pulp extracted without EDTA. Based on these findings, it was concluded that esterification with EDTA has successfully protected the cellulose against alkaline hydrolysis by NaOH. Therefore, the addition of EDTA is a promising approach to improve the pulp yield with high degree of polymerization.

Abstract
Soybean is a most promising sustainable protein source for feed and food to help meet the protein demand of the rapidly rising global population. To enrich soy protein, the environment-friendly enzymatic processing requires multiple carbohydrases including cellulase, xylanase, pectinase, α-galactosidase and sucrase. Besides enriched protein, the processing adds value by generating monosaccharides that are ready feedstock for biofuel/bioproducts. Aspergillus could produce the required carbohydrases, but with deficient pectinase and α-galactosidase. Here we address this critical technological gap by focused evaluation of the suboptimal productivity of pectinase and α-galactosidase. A carbohydrases-productive strain A. niger (NRRL 322) was used with soybean hull as inducing substrate. Temperatures at 20 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C were found to affect cell growth on sucrose with an Arrhenius-law activation energy of 28.7 kcal/mol. The 30 °C promoted the fastest cell growth (doubling time = 2.1 h) and earliest enzyme production, but it gave lower final enzyme yield due to earlier carbon-source exhaustion. The 25 °C gave the highest enzyme yield. pH conditions also strongly affected enzyme production. Fermentations made with initial pH of 6 or 7 were most productive, e.g., giving 1.9- to 2.3-fold higher pectinase and 2.2- to 2.3-fold higher α-galactosidase after 72 h, compared to the fermentation with a constant pH 4. Further, pH must be kept above 2.6 to avoid limitation in pectinase production and, in the later substrate-limiting stage, kept below 5.5 to avoid pectinase degradation. α-Galactosidase production always followed the pectinase production with a 16-24 h lag; presumably, the former relied on pectin hydrolysis for inducers generation. Optimal enzyme production requires controlling the transient availability of inducers.

Improving the utilization rate of soybean meal for efficient production of bacitracin and heterologous proteins in the aprA-deficient strain of Bacillus licheniformis.

Abstract
Soybean meal is commonly applied as the raw material in the bio-fermentation industry, and bacitracin is a widely used feed additive in the feed industry. In this study, we investigated the influence of subtilisin enhancement on soybean meal utilization and bacitracin production in Bacillus licheniformis DW2, an industrial strain for bacitracin production. Firstly, blocking sRNA aprA expression benefited bacitracin synthesis, and the bacitracin yield produced by aprA-deficient strain DW2△PaprA reached 931.43 U/mL, 18.92% higher than that of DW2 (783.25 U/mL). The bacitracin yield was reduced by 14.27% in the aprA overexpression strain. Furthermore, our results showed that deficiency of aprA led to a 6.54-fold increase of the aprE transcriptional level and a 1.84-fold increase of subtilisin activity, respectively, which led to the increases of soybean meal utilization rate (28.86%) and precursor amino acid supplies for bacitracin synthesis. Additionally, strengthening the utilization rate of soybean meal also benefited heterologous protein production, and the α-amylase and nattokinase activities were respectively enhanced by 59.81% and 50.53% in aprA-deficient strains. Collectively, this research demonstrated that strengthening subtilisin production could improve the utilization rate of soybean meal and thereby enhance bacitracin and target protein production; also, this strategy would be useful for the improvement of protein/peptide production using soybean meal as the main nitrogen source in the fermentation process.
