Structure changes of lignin and their effects on enzymatic hydrolysis for bioethanol production: a focus on lignin modification. J Biotechnol 2024; 393:S0168-1656(24)00201-3. [PMID: 39067576 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2024.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Enzymatic hydrolysis contributes to obtaining fermentable sugars using pretreated lignocellulose materials for bioethanol generation. Unfortunately, the pretreatment of lignocellulose causes low substrate enzymatic hydrolysis, which is due to the structure changes of lignin to produce main phenolic by-products and non-productive cellulase adsorption. It is reported that modified lignin enhances the speed of enzymatic hydrolysis through single means to decrease the negative effects of fermentation inhibitors or non-productive cellulase adsorption. However, a suitable modified lignin should be selected to simultaneously reduce the fermentation inhibitors concentration and non-productive cellulase adsorption for saving resources and maximizing the enzymatic hydrolysis productivity. Meanwhile, the adsorption micro-mechanisms of modified lignin with fermentation inhibitors and cellulase remain elusive. In this review, different pretreatment effects toward lignin structure, and their impacts on subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis are analyzed. The main modification methods for lignin are presented. Density functional theory is used to screen suitable modification methods for the simultaneous reduction of fermentation inhibitors and non-productive cellulase adsorption. Lignin-fermentation inhibitors and lignin-cellulase interaction mechanisms are discussed using different advanced analysis techniques. This article addresses the gap in previous reviews concerning the application of modified lignin in the enhancement of bioethanol production. For the first time, based on existing studies, this work posits the hypothesis of applying theoretical simulations to screen efficient modified lignin-based adsorbents, in order to achieve a dual optimization of the detoxification and saccharification processes. We aim to improve the integrated lignocellulose transformation procedure for the effective generation of cleaner bioethanol.

Abstract
Renewable and sustainable biofuel production, such as biobutanol, is becoming increasingly popular as a substitute for non-renewable and depleted petrol fuel. Many researchers have studied how to produce butanol cheaply by considering appropriate feedstock materials and bioprocess technologies. The production of biobutanol through acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) is highly sought after around the world because of its sustainable supply and lack of competition with food. The purpose of this study is to present the current biobutanol production research and to analyse the biobutanol research conducted during 2006 to 2023. The keyword used in this study is "Biobutanol," and the relevant data was extracted from the Web of Science database (WoS). According to the results, institutions and scholars from the People's Republic of China, the USA, and India have the highest number of cited papers across a broad spectrum of topics including acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation, biobutanol, various pretreatment techniques, and pervaporation. The success of biobutanol fermentation from biomass depends on the ability of the fermentation operation to match the microbial behaviour along with the appropriate bioprocessing strategies to improve the entire process to be suitable for industrial scale. Based on the review data, we will look at the biobutanol technologies and appropriate strategies that have been developed to improve biobutanol production from renewable biomass.

Abstract
The increasing demand for sustainable energy has brought biobutanol as a potential substitute for fossil fuels. The Clostridium genus is deemed essential for biobutanol synthesis due to its capability to utilize various substrates. However, challenges in maintaining fermentation continuity and achieving commercialization persist due to existing barriers, including butanol toxicity to Clostridium, low substrate utilization rates, and high production costs. Proper substrate selection significantly impacts fermentation efficiency, final product quality, and economic feasibility in Clostridium biobutanol production. This review examines underutilized substrates for biobutanol production by Clostridium, which offer opportunities for environmental sustainability and a green economy. Extensive research on Clostridium, focusing on strain development and genetic engineering, is essential to enhance biobutanol production. Additionally, critical suggestions for optimizing substrate selection to enhance Clostridium biobutanol production efficiency are also provided in this review. In the future, cost reduction and advancements in biotechnology may make biobutanol a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

Abstract
Herein, we investigated the synergistic effects of jet milling (JM) and deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment on the fractionation of grapevine lignin and the consequent enhancement of enzymatic hydrolysis. Grapevine, a substantial byproduct of the wine industry, was subjected to JM pretreatment to produce finely powdered particles (median diameter D50 = 98.90), which were then further treated with acidic ChCl-LA and alkaline K2CO3-EG DESs. The results revealed that the combined JM + ChCl-LA pretreatment significantly increased the cellulose preservation under optimal conditions (110 °C, 4 h, and 20 % water content), achieving removal rates of 74.18 % xylan and 66.05 % lignin, respectively. The pretreatment temperature and inhibitor production were reduced, resulting in a remarkable threefold increase in glucose yield compared to untreated samples. Moreover, the structural analysis of the pretreated lignin indicated an enrichment of phenolic units, leading to enhanced antioxidant and antibacterial activities, particularly in the JM pretreated samples. These findings underscore the promising potential of the synergistic JM and DES pretreatment in facilitating the efficient utilization of grapevine lignocellulosic biomass for sustainable biorefinery technologies.

Abstract
Second generation biorefineries play an important role in the production of renewable energy and fuels, utilizing forest and agro-industrial residues and by-products as raw materials. The integration of novel bioproducts, such as: xylitol, β-carotene, xylooligosaccharides, and biopigments into the biorefinery's portfolio can offer economic benefits in the valorization of lignocellulosic materials, particularly cellulosic and hemicellulosic fractions. Fungal biopigments, known for their additional antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, are appealing to consumers and can have applications in various industrial sectors, including food and pharmaceuticals. The use of lignocellulosic materials as carbon and nutrient sources for the growth medium helps to reduce production costs, increasing the competitiveness of fungal biopigments in the market. In addition, the implementation of biopigment production in biorefineries allows the utilization of underutilized fractions, such as hemicellulose, for value-added bioproducts. This study deals with the potential of fungal biopigments production in second generation biorefineries in order to diversify the produced biomolecules together with energy generation. A comprehensive and critical review of the recent literature on this topic has been conducted, covering the major possible raw materials, general aspects of second generation biorefineries, the fungal biopigments and their potential for incorporation into biorefineries.

Abstract
The hydrolysis and biotransformation of lignocellulose, i.e., biorefinery, can provide human beings with biofuels, bio-based chemicals, and materials, and is an important technology to solve the fossil energy crisis and promote global sustainable development. Biorefinery involves steps such as pretreatment, saccharification, and fermentation, and researchers have developed a variety of biorefinery strategies to optimize the process and reduce process costs in recent years. Lignocellulosic hydrolysates are platforms that connect the saccharification process and downstream fermentation. The hydrolysate composition is closely related to biomass raw materials, the pretreatment process, and the choice of biorefining strategies, and provides not only nutrients but also possible inhibitors for downstream fermentation. In this review, we summarized the effects of each stage of lignocellulosic biorefinery on nutrients and possible inhibitors, analyzed the huge differences in nutrient retention and inhibitor generation among various biorefinery strategies, and emphasized that all steps in lignocellulose biorefinery need to be considered comprehensively to achieve maximum nutrient retention and optimal control of inhibitors at low cost, to provide a reference for the development of biomass energy and chemicals.

Abstract
To further enhance the removal efficiency for furanic and phenolic compounds in lignocellulosic hydrolysates, a new detoxification strategy was proposed, which retained fermentable sugars and promoted the growth and metabolism of subsequent bacteria. The best adsorbent (P/M-CCA) was prepared by hybrid chitosan-chitin nanofiber, graft modification with polyethylenimine, and silanization with methyl triethoxylsilane in order. Taken corn cob hydrolysate as object, the removal rates of HMF and furfural were 85.1 % and 99.0 %, respectively. The removal rates of six out of nine phenolic inhibitors were 100 %, and the other three were more than 65 %. Even better, the retention rates of glucose and xylose were both 100 %. In contrast to no growth in undetoxified hydrolysates, Bacillus coagulans grew normally in detoxified hydrolysates, and lactic acid reached 19.1 g/L after 12 h fermentation. P/M-CCA achieves both removal of multiple inhibitors and retain sugars, which would promote the valorization of highly toxic lignocellulosic hydrolysates.

Abstract
Kluyveromyces marxianus is a non-Saccharomyces yeast that has gained importance due to its great potential to be used in the food and biotechnology industries. In general, K. marxianus is a known yeast for its ability to assimilate hexoses and pentoses; even this yeast can grow in disaccharides such as sucrose and lactose and polysaccharides such as agave fructans. Otherwise, K. marxianus is an excellent microorganism to produce metabolites of biotechnological interest, such as enzymes, ethanol, aroma compounds, organic acids, and single-cell proteins. However, several studies highlighted the metabolic trait variations among the K. marxianus strains, suggesting genetic diversity within the species that determines its metabolic functions; this diversity can be attributed to its high adaptation capacity against stressful environments. The outstanding metabolic characteristics of K. marxianus have motivated this yeast to be a study model to evaluate its easy adaptability to several environments. This chapter will discuss overview characteristics and applications of K. marxianus and recent insights into the stress response and adaptation mechanisms used by this non-Saccharomyces yeast.

Abstract
Due to the massive growth in population and urbanization, there has been a huge increase in the volume of food waste globally. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has estimated that around one-third of all food produced each year is wasted. Food waste leads to the emission of greenhouse gas and depletion of the soil fertility. Nevertheless, it has immense potential for the recovery of high-value energy, fuel, and other resources. This review summarizes the latest advances in resource recovery from food waste by using technologies that include food waste-mediated microbial fuel cell (MFC) for bioenergy production. In addition to this, utilization of food waste for the production of bioplastic, biogas, bioethanol, and fertilizer has been also discussed in detail. Competitive benefits and accompanying difficulties of these technologies have also been highlighted. Furthermore, future approaches for more efficient use of food waste for the recovery of valuable resources have been also offered from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Abstract
Lignin is an aromatic heteropolymer, found in plant cell walls as 20-30% of lignocellulose. It represents the most abundant source of renewable aromatic carbon in the biosphere, hence, if it could be depolymerised efficiently, then it would be a highly valuable source of renewable aromatic chemicals. However, lignin presents a number of difficulties for biocatalytic or chemocatalytic breakdown. Research over the last 10 years has led to the identification of new bacterial enzymes for lignin degradation, and the use of metabolic engineering to generate useful bioproducts from microbial lignin degradation. The aim of this article is to discuss the chemical mechanisms used by lignin-degrading enzymes and microbes to break down lignin, and to describe current methods for generating aromatic bioproducts from lignin using enzymes and engineered microbes.

Abstract
Corynebacterium glutamicum is a useful microbe that can be used for producing succinic acid under anaerobic conditions. In this study, we generated a knock-out mutant of the lactate dehydrogenase 1 gene (ΔldhA-6) and co-expressed the succinic acid transporter (Psod:SucE- ΔldhA) using the CRISPR-Cpf1 genome editing system. The highly efficient HPAC (hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid) pretreatment method was employed for the enzymatic hydrolysis of softwood (Pinus densiflora) and subsequently utilized for production of succinic acid. Upon evaluating a 1%-5% hydrolysate concentration range, optimal succinic acid production with the ΔldhA mutant was achieved at a 4% hydrolysate concentration. This resulted in 14.82 g L-1 succinic acid production over 6 h. No production of acetic acid and lactic acid was detected during the fermentation. The co-expression transformant, [Psod:SucE-ΔldhA] produced 17.70 g L-1 succinic acid in 6 h. In the fed-batch system, 39.67 g L-1 succinic acid was produced over 48 h. During the fermentation, the strain consumed 100% and 73% of glucose and xylose, respectively. The yield of succinic acid from the sugars consumed was approximately 0.77 g succinic acid/g sugars. These results indicate that the production of succinic acid from softwood holds potential applications in alternative biochemical processes.

BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AND BIOPRODUCTS 2023; 16:190. [PMID: 38057826 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-023-02442-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant genetic diversity exists across Saccharomyces strains. Natural isolates and domesticated brewery and industrial strains are typically more robust than laboratory strains when challenged with inhibitory lignocellulosic hydrolysates. These strains also contain genes that are not present in lab strains and likely contribute to their superior inhibitor tolerance. However, many of these strains have poor sporulation efficiencies and low spore viability making subsequent gene analysis, further metabolic engineering, and genomic analyses of the strains challenging. This work aimed to develop an inhibitor tolerant haploid with stable mating type from S. cerevisiae YB-2625, which was originally isolated from bagasse. RESULTS Haploid spores isolated from four tetrads from strain YB-2625 were tested for tolerance to furfural and HMF. Due to natural mutations present in the HO-endonuclease, all haploid strains maintained a stable mating type. One of the haploids, YRH1946, did not flocculate and showed enhanced tolerance to furfural and HMF. The tolerant haploid strain was further engineered for xylose fermentation by integration of the genes for xylose metabolism at two separate genomic locations (ho∆ and pho13∆). In fermentations supplemented with inhibitors from acid hydrolyzed corn stover, the engineered haploid strain derived from YB-2625 was able to ferment all of the glucose and 19% of the xylose, whereas the engineered lab strains performed poorly in fermentations. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the molecular mechanisms of inhibitor tolerance will aid in developing strains with improved growth and fermentation performance using biomass-derived sugars. The inhibitor tolerant, xylose fermenting, haploid strain described in this work has potential to serve as a platform strain for identifying pathways required for inhibitor tolerance, and for metabolic engineering to produce fuels and chemicals from undiluted lignocellulosic hydrolysates.

Abstract
Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is a major by-product in the beer-brewing process which contributes to 85% of the entire generated by-product in the brewing process. BSG is rich in proteins, and most of the malt proteins (74-78%) remain insoluble in BSG after the mashing process. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a promising bioprocess that enables microorganisms to survive in environments with minimal water and has shown to enhance the nutritional composition of BSG. In this review, the potential application of protein, amino acids (proline, threonine, and serine), phenolic contents, and soluble sugars (glucose, fructose, xylose, arabinose, and cellobiose) extracted from BSG by various microorganisms using SSF is explored. Incorporation of BSG into animal feed, human diets, and as a substrate for microorganisms are the prospects that could be implemented in the industrial scale. This review also discussed various advances to improve the fermentation yield such as symbiotic fermentation, the addition of nitrogen supplements, and an optimal mixture of the agro-industrial waste substrate. Future perspectives on SSF are also addressed to provide important ideas for immediate and future studies. However, challenges include optimizing SSF conditions and design of bioreactors, and operational costs must be addressed in the future to overcome current obstacles. Overall, this mini review highlights the potential benefits of BSG utilization and SSF in a sustainable way.

Green solvents extraction-based detoxification to enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded lignocellulosic biomass and recover bioactive compounds. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118448. [PMID: 37413728 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
A novel strategy for pre-treated biomass detoxification combining emerging green solvents and low environmental impact extraction technologies was evaluated. Steam-exploded biomass was subjected to microwave-assisted or orbital shaking extraction using bio-based or eutectic solvents. The extracted biomass was enzymatically hydrolysed. The potential of this detoxification methodology was studied in terms of phenolic inhibitors extraction and sugar production improvement. The effect of adding a post-extraction water washing step before hydrolysis was also evaluated. Excellent results were achieved when steam-exploded biomass was subjected to the microwave-assisted extraction combined with the washing step. The highest sugar production was achieved when ethyl lactate was used as extraction agent (49.80 ± 3.10 g total sugar/L) over the control (30.43 ± 0.34 g total sugar/L). Results suggested that a detoxification step based on green solvents would be a promising option to extract phenolic inhibitors, which can be revalorized as antioxidants, and improve the sugar production from the extracted pre-treated biomass.

Abstract
The prehydrolysate from dilute acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstocks often contains inhibitory compounds that can seriously inhibit the subsequent enzymatic and fermentation processes. Acetic acid is one of the most representative toxic compounds. In this research, alkaline deacetylation of corn stover was carried out using sodium carbonate under mild conditions to selectively remove the acetyl groups of the biomass and reduce the toxicity of the prehydrolysate. The deacetylation process was optimized by adjusting factors such as temperature, treatment time, and sodium carbonate concentration. Sodium carbonate solutions (2~6 wt%) at 30~50 °C were used for the deacetylation step, followed by dilute acid pretreatment with 1.5% H2SO4 at 121 °C. Results showed that the acetyl content of the treated corn stover could be reduced up to 87%, while the hemicellulose loss remained low. The optimal deacetylation condition was found to be 40 °C, 6 h, and 4 wt% Na2CO3, resulting in a removal of 80.55% of the acetyl group in corn stover and a hemicellulose loss of 4.09%. The acetic acid concentration in the acid prehydrolysate decreased from 1.38 to 0.34 g/L. The enzymatic hydrolysis of solid corn stover and the whole slurry after pretreatment increased by 17% and 16%, respectively.

Abstract
Globally escalating ethanol demand necessitates the use of hybrid technologies integrating first- and second-generation biofuel feedstocks for achieving the futuristic targets of gasoline replacement with bioethanol. In present study, an optimized two-step sequential pre-treatment (first dilute alkali, then dilute acid) of Pine forest litter (PFL) was developed. Furthermore, the saccharification of pre-treated PFL was optimized through Response Surface Methodology using Box-Behnken Design, wherein 0.558 g/g of reducing sugar was released under the optimized conditions (12.5% w/v of biomass loading, 10 FPU/g of PFL enzyme loading, 0.15% v/v Tween-80 and 48 h incubation time). Moreover, during hydrolysate fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3288 strain, 22.51 ± 1.02 g/L ethanol was produced. Remarkably, hydrophobic resin (XAD-4) treatment of PFL hydrolysate, significantly removed inhibitors (Furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and phenolics) and increased ethanol production to 27.38 ± 1.18 g/L. Furthermore, during fermentation of molasses supplemented PFL hydrolysate (total initial sugar: 100 ± 3.27 g/L), a maximum of 46.02 ± 2.08 g/L ethanol was produced with 0.482 g/g yield and 1.92 g/l/h productivity. These findings indicated that the integration of molasses to lignocellulosic hydrolysate, would be a promising hybrid technology for industrial ethanol production within existing bio-refinery infrastructure.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic wastes are valuable feedstock in biorefinery thanks to their high sugars content and low level of fibers intricacy. However, their massification is often a limiting parameter in the development of industrial projects. Hence, this study aims to develop an efficient process enabling the conversion of several waste streams within the same process line. Several pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis parameters were firstly evaluated with Old Corrugated Cardboards (OCC) as a model substrate. A chemical free pretreatment followed by an enzymatic hydrolysis (Cellic Ctec 3 enzymatic cocktail at 0.06 g of cocktail per g of Total Sugars (TS)) efficiently depolymerized OCC into monomeric sugars (0.50 g/gTS) consequently fermented into ethanol (0.24 g/gTS). Then, the suitability of this process was validated for sugars production from Pulp and Paper (P&P) sludge (0.48 g/gTS), sieved toilets papers (0.40 g/gTS), the Organic fraction of municipal solid waste (0.37 g/gTS) and Waste Wood B (0.08 g/gTS).

Abstract
Recycling plastics is the key to reaching a sustainable materials economy. Biocatalytic degradation of plastics shows great promise by allowing selective depolymerization of man-made materials into constituent building blocks under mild aqueous conditions. However, insoluble plastics have polymer chains that can reside in different conformations and show compact secondary structures that offer low accessibility for initiating the depolymerization reaction by enzymes. In this work, we overcome these shortcomings by microwave irradiation as a pre-treatment process to deliver powders of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles suitable for subsequent biotechnology-assisted plastic degradation by previously generated engineered enzymes. An optimized microwave step resulted in 1400 times higher integral of released terephthalic acid (TPA) from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), compared to original untreated PET bottle. Biocatalytic plastic hydrolysis of substrates originating from PET bottles responded to 78 % yield conversion from 2 h microwave pretreatment and 1 h enzymatic reaction at 30 °C. The increase in activity stems from enhanced substrate accessibility from the microwave step, followed by the administration of designer enzymes capable of accommodating oligomers and shorter chains released in a productive conformation.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is still considered a feasible source of bioethanol production. Saccharomyces cerevisiae can adapt to detoxify lignocellulose-derived inhibitors, including furfural. Tolerance of strain performance has been measured by the extent of the lag phase for cell proliferation following the furfural inhibitor challenge. The purpose of this work was to obtain a tolerant yeast strain against furfural through overexpression of YPR015C using the in vivo homologous recombination method. The physiological observation of the overexpressing yeast strain showed that it was more resistant to furfural than its parental strain. Fluorescence microscopy revealed improved enzyme reductase activity and accumulation of oxygen reactive species due to the harmful effects of furfural inhibitor in contrast to its parental strain. Comparative transcriptomic analysis revealed 79 genes potentially involved in amino acid biosynthesis, oxidative stress, cell wall response, heat shock protein, and mitochondrial-associated protein for the YPR015C overexpressing strain associated with stress responses to furfural at the late stage of lag phase growth. Both up- and down-regulated genes involved in diversified functional categories were accountable for tolerance in yeast to survive and adapt to the furfural stress in a time course study during the lag phase growth. This study enlarges our perceptions comprehensively about the physiological and molecular mechanisms implicated in the YPR015C overexpressing strain's tolerance under furfural stress.

Identification of a Novel Dehydrogenase from Gluconobacter oxydans for Degradation of Inhibitors Derived from Lignocellulosic Biomass. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2023.

Abstract
Inhibitors from lignocellulosic biomass have become the bottleneck of biorefinery development. Gluconobacter oxydans DSM2003 showed a high performance of inhibitors degradation, which had a short lag time in non-detoxified corn stover hydrolysate and could convert 90% of aldehyde inhibitors to weaker toxic acids. In this study, an aldehyde dehydrogenase gene W826-RS0111485, which plays an important function in the conversion of aldehyde inhibitors in Gluconobacter oxydans DSM2003, was identified. W826-RS0111485 was found by protein profiling, then a series of enzymatic properties were determined and were heterologously expressed in E. coli. The results indicated that NADP is the most suitable cofactor of the enzyme when aldehyde inhibitor is the substrate, and it had the highest oxidation activity to furfural among several aldehyde inhibitors. Under the optimal reaction conditions (50 °C, pH 7.5), the Km and Vmax of the enzyme under furfural stress were 2.45 and 80.97, respectively, and the Kcat was 232.22 min−1. The biodetoxification performance experiments showed that the recombinant E. coli containing the target gene completely converted 1 g/L furfural to furoic acid within 8 h, while the control E. coli only converted 18% furfural within 8 h. It was further demonstrated that W826-RS0111485 played an important role in the detoxification of furfural. The mining of this inhibitor degradation gene could provide a theoretical basis for rational modification of industrial strains to enhance its capacity of inhibitor degradation in the future.

Abstract
After several rounds of milling process for sugars extraction from sugarcane, certain amounts of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) still remain in sugarcane bagasse. It is a bottleneck to utilize WSC in sugarcane bagasse biorefinery, since these sugars are easily degraded into inhibitors during pretreatment. Herein, a simple pre-fermentation step before pretreatment was conducted, and 98 % of WSC in bagasse was fermented into d-lactic acid. The obtained d-lactic acid was stably preserved in bagasse and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) generation was sharply reduced from 46.0 mg/g to 6.2 mg/g of dry bagasse, after dilute acid pretreatment. Consequently, a higher d-lactic acid titer (57.0 g/L vs 33.2 g/L) was achieved from the whole slurry of the undetoxified and pretreated sugarcane bagasse by one-pot simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF), with the overall yield of 0.58 g/g dry bagasse. This study gave an efficient strategy for enhancing lactic acid production using the lignocellulosic waste from sugar industry.

A critical review on pretreatment and detoxification techniques required for biofuel production from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 368:128316. [PMID: 36375700 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.128316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is a widely-available promising feedstock for biofuel production. However, the presence of different inhibitors originating from fruit and food/beverage wastes as well as recalcitrant lignocellulosic fractions hampers its bioconversion. This necessitates a pretreatment to augment the biodigestibility and fermentability of OFMSW. Hence, this review aims to provide the in-vogue inhibitory compound removal and pretreatment techniques that have been employed for efficient OFMSW conversion into biofuels, i.e., hydrogen, biogas, ethanol, and butanol. The techniques are compared concerning their mode of action, chemical and energy consumption, inhibitor formation and removal, economic feasibility, and environmental sustainability. This critique also reviews the existing knowledge gap and future perspectives for efficient OFMSW valorization. The insights provided pave the way toward developing energy-resilient cities while addressing environmental crises related to generating OFMSW.

Abstract
Biomass-derived cellulose hybrid composite materials are promising for application in the field of photocatalysis due to their excellent properties. The excellent properties between biomass-derived cellulose and photocatalyst materials was induced by biocompatibility and high hydrophilicity of the cellulose components. Biomass-derived cellulose exhibited huge amount of electron-rich hydroxyl group which could promote superior interaction with the photocatalyst. Hence, the original sources and types of cellulose, synthesizing methods, and fabrication cellulose composites together with applications are reviewed in this paper. Different types of biomasses such as biochar, activated carbon (AC), cellulose, chitosan, and chitin were discussed. Cellulose is categorized as plant cellulose, bacterial cellulose, algae cellulose, and tunicate cellulose. The extraction and purification steps of cellulose were explained in detail. Next, the common photocatalyst nanomaterials including titanium dioxide (TiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and graphene, were introduced based on their distinct structures, advantages, and limitations in water treatment applications. The synthesizing method of TiO2-based photocatalyst includes hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel synthesis, and chemical vapor deposition synthesis. Different synthesizing methods contribute toward different TiO2 forms in terms of structural phases and surface morphology. The fabrication and performance of cellulose composite catalysts give readers a better understanding of the incorporation of cellulose in the development of sustainable and robust photocatalysts. The modifications including metal doping, non-metal doping, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) showed improvements on the degradation performance of cellulose composite catalysts. The information and evidence on the fabrication techniques of biomass-derived cellulose hybrid photocatalyst and its recent application in the field of water treatment were reviewed thoroughly in this review paper.

Abstract
Inhibitor tolerance is still a bottleneck for lactic acid bacteria in lignocellulose biorefinery, while it is hard to obtain one engineered strain with strong tolerance to all inhibitors. Herein, a robust adapted d-lactic acid producing strain Pediococcus acidilactici XH11 was obtained by 111 days' long-term adaptive evolution in undetoxified corncob prehydrolysates. The adapted strain had higher inhibitors tolerance compared to the parental strain, primarily due to its increased conversion capacities of four typical aldehyde inhibitors (furfural, HMF, vanillin, and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde). One-pot simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation was successfully achieved using the whole slurry of acid-pretreated corncob without solid-liquid separation and detoxification, by applying the adapted P. acidilactici XH11. Finally, 61.9 g/L of d-lactic acid was generated after 96 h' fermentation (xylose conversion of 89.9 %) with the overall yield of 0.48 g/g dry corncob. This study gave an important option for screening of industrial strains in cellulosic lactic acid production processes.

Abstract
ABSTRACTOptimization of hydrolysis conditions of lignocellulosic biomass is crucial to able to produce value-added products by fermentation. This study not only determines optimal dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) hydrolysis conditions of wheat bran (WB) and rye bran (RB) by using one-factor-at-a-time method and subsequently Box-Behnken design but also elucidates chemical composition of hydrolysates yielded under optimal hydrolysis conditions. Based on the results, optimal hydrolysis conditions of WB and RB were 121 and 130°C of temperature, 1/8 and 1/8 w/v of solid to liquid ratio, 2.66 and 1.58% v/v of dilute H2SO4 ratio, and 30 and 16 min of implementation time, respectively. Hydrolysates obtained from WB and RB at these conditions contained 72.7 (0.58 g sugar/g biomass) and 89.4 g/L (0.72 g sugar/g biomass) of reducing sugar concentration, respectively. Hydrolysis rates of WB and RB were 87.79 and 91.33%, respectively. Main reducing sugar in RB hydrolysate was glucose with 31.17 g/L (0.25 g glucose/g biomass) while glucose and xylose were the main monosaccharides with 20.90 (0.17 g glucose/g biomass) and 18.69 g/L (0.15 g xylose/g biomass) in WB hydrolysate, respectively. With acidic hydrolysis of WB and RB, inhibitors such as phenolics, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural, 2-Furaldehyde (not for RB), acetic acid, and formic acid (not for WB) formed. Catalytic efficiency values of H2SO4 for WB and RB were 15.2 and 24.4 g /g, respectively, indicating that inhibitor concentration in WB hydrolysate was higher than that of RB. These results indicated that WB and RB have a high potential in production of value-added products by fermentation.

Abstract
The sugar utilization efficiency and the tolerance of microorganism to inhibitors are essential for lipid production from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, the sugar consumption and inhibitor tolerance characteristics of Trichosporon dermatis 32,903 were investigated. The results showed that the lipid yield on xylose was much lower than that on glucose, while these substrates exhibited comparative efficiency for cell growth. High inoculum size improved the tolerance of T. dermatis 32,903 to inhibitors. Based on these characteristics, sugar-targeted-utilization and cyclic fermentation strategy was developed. The tolerance of high inoculum size to inhibitors was utilized, glucose was targeted for lipid fermentation and xylose was targeted for cell growth. As a result, the lipid production efficiency was greatly enhanced. The lipid titer in hydrolysate of DLCA (Densifying Lignocellulosic biomass with Chemicals followed by Autoclave) pretreated rice straw was improved to as high as 38.4 g/L with lipid yield of 0.207 g/g consumed sugar.

Abstract
For lignocellulose biorefinery, pretreatment is needed to maximize the cellulose accessibility, frequently generating excess inhibitory substances to decline the efficiency of the subsequent fermentation processes. This mini-review updates the current research efforts to detoxify the adverse impacts of generated inhibitors on the performance of biomass biorefinery. The lignocellulose pretreatment processes are first reviewed. The generation of inhibitors, furans, furfural, phenols, formic acid, and acetic acid, from the lignocellulose, with their action mechanisms, are listed. Then the detoxification processes are reviewed, from which the biological detoxification processes are noted as promising and worth further study. The challenges and prospects for applying biological detoxification in lignocellulose biorefinery are outlined. Integrated studies considering the entire biorefinery should be performed on a case-by-case basis.

Abstract
Potato is the fourth most abundant crop harvested annually worldwide. Potato peel waste (PPW) is the main waste stream of potato-processing industries which is generated in large quantities and is a threat to the environment globally. However, owing to its compositional characteristics, availability, and zero cost, PPW is a renewable resource for the production of high-value bioproducts. Hence, this study provides a state-of-the-art overview of advancements in PPW valorization through biological and thermochemical conversions. PPW has a high potential for biofuel and biochemical generation through detoxification, pretreatment, hydrolysis, and fermentation. Moreover, many other valuable chemicals, including bio-oil, biochar, and biosorbents, can be produced via thermochemical conversions. However, several challenges are associated with the biological and thermochemical processing of PPW. The insights provided in this review pave the way toward a PPW-based biorefinery development, providing sustainable alternatives to fossil-based products and mitigating environmental concerns.

Abstract
The development of biorefineries brings the necessity of an efficient consumption of all sugars released from biomasses, including xylose. In addition, the presence of inhibitors in biomass hydrolysates is one of the main challenges in bioprocess feasibility. In this study, the application of Ca-alginate hybrid gels in the immobilization of xylose-consuming recombinant yeast was explored with the aim of improving the tolerance of inhibitors. The recombinant yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae GSE16-T18SI.1 (T18) was immobilized in Ca-alginate and Ca-alginate–chitosan hybrid beads, and its performance on xylose fermentation was evaluated in terms of tolerance to different acetic acid concentrations (0–12 g/L) and repeated batches of crude sugarcane bagasse hemicellulose hydrolysate. The use of the hybrid gel improved yeast performance in the presence of 12 g/L of acetic acid, achieving 1.13 g/L/h of productivity and reaching 75% of the theoretical ethanol yield, with an improvement of 32% in the xylose consumption rate (1:1 Vbeads/Vmedium, 35 °C, 150 rpm and pH 5.2). The use of hybrid alginate–chitosan gel also led to better yeast performance at crude hydrolysate, yielding one more batch than the pure-alginate beads. These results demonstrate the potential of a hybrid gel as an approach that could increase 2G ethanol productivity and allow cell recycling for a longer period.

Abstract
A novel boronic acid and carboxyl-modified glucose molecularly imprinted polymer (glucose-MIP) was prepared through suspension polymerization, which is based on 1.0 mmol glucose as a template, 1.2 mmol methacrylamidophenylboronic acid, and 6.8 mmol methacrylic acid as monomers, 19 mmol ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, and 1 mmol methylene-bis-acrylamide as crosslinkers. The prepared glucose-MIP had a particle size of 25-70 μm, and was thermally stable below 215°C, with a specific surface area of 174.82 m2. g-1 and average pore size of 9.48 nm. The best selectivity between glucose and fructose was 2.71 and the maximum adsorption capacity of glucose-MIP was up to 236.32 mg. g-1 which was consistent with the Langmuir adsorption model. The similar adsorption abilities in 6 successive runs and the good desorption rate (99.4%) verified glucose-MIP could be reused. It was successfully used for extracting glucose from cellulose hydrolysis. The adsorption amount of glucose was 2.61 mg. mL-1 and selectivity between glucose and xylose reached 4.12. A newly established chromatography (glucose-MIP) mediated hollow fiber membrane method in time separated pure glucose from cellulose hydrolysates on a large-scale, and purified glucose solution with a concentration of 3.84 mg. mL-1 was obtained, which offered a feasible way for the industrial production of glucose from cellulose hydrolysates.

Deciphering Molecular Mechanism Underlying Self-Flocculation of Zymomonas mobilis for Robust Production. Appl Environ Microbiol 2022; 88:e0239821. [PMID: 35465724 DOI: 10.1128/aem.02398-21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Zymomonas mobilis metabolizes sugar anaerobically through the Entner-Doudoroff pathway with less ATP generated for lower biomass accumulation to direct more sugar for product formation with improved yield, making it a suitable host to be engineered as microbial cell factories for producing bulk commodities with major costs from feedstock consumption. Self-flocculation of the bacterial cells presents many advantages, such as enhanced tolerance to environmental stresses, a prerequisite for achieving high product titers by using concentrated substrates. ZM401, a self-flocculating mutant developed from ZM4, the unicellular model strain of Z. mobilis, was employed in this work to explore the molecular mechanism underlying this self-flocculating phenotype. Comparative studies between ZM401 and ZM4 indicate that a frameshift caused by a single nucleotide deletion in the poly-T tract of ZMO1082 fused the putative gene with the open reading frame of ZMO1083, encoding the catalytic subunit BcsA of the bacterial cellulose synthase to catalyze cellulose biosynthesis. Furthermore, the single nucleotide polymorphism mutation in the open reading frame of ZMO1055, encoding a bifunctional GGDEF-EAL protein with apparent diguanylate cyclase/phosphodiesterase activities, resulted in the Ala526Val substitution, which consequently compromised in vivo specific phosphodiesterase activity for the degradation of cyclic diguanylic acid, leading to intracellular accumulation of the signaling molecule to activate cellulose biosynthesis. These discoveries are significant for engineering other unicellular strains from Z. mobilis with the self-flocculating phenotype for robust production. IMPORTANCE Stress tolerance is a prerequisite for microbial cell factories to be robust in production, particularly for biorefinery of lignocellulosic biomass to produce biofuels, bioenergy, and bio-based chemicals for sustainable socioeconomic development, since various inhibitors are released during the pretreatment to destroy the recalcitrant lignin-carbohydrate complex for sugar production through enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose component, and their detoxification is too costly for producing bulk commodities. Although tolerance to individual stress has been intensively studied, the progress seems less significant since microbial cells are inevitably suffering from multiple stresses simultaneously under production conditions. When self-flocculating, microbial cells are more tolerant to multiple stresses through the general stress response due to enhanced quorum sensing associated with the morphological change for physiological and metabolic advantages. Therefore, elucidation of the molecular mechanism underlying such a self-flocculating phenotype is significant for engineering microbial cells with the unique multicellular morphology through rational design to boost their production performance.

How adaptive laboratory evolution can boost yeast tolerance to lignocellulosic hydrolyses. Curr Genet 2022; 68:319-342. [PMID: 35362784 DOI: 10.1007/s00294-022-01237-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent candidate for establishing cell factories to convert lignocellulosic biomass into chemicals and fuels. To enable this technology, yeast robustness must be improved to withstand the fermentation inhibitors (e.g., weak organic acids, phenols, and furan aldehydes) resulting from biomass pretreatment and hydrolysis. Here, we discuss how evolution experiments performed in the lab, a method commonly known as adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), may contribute to lifting yeast tolerance against the inhibitors of lignocellulosic hydrolysates (LCHs). The key is that, through the combination of whole-genome sequencing and reverse engineering, ALE provides a robust platform for discovering and testing adaptive alleles, allowing to explore the genetic underpinnings of yeast responses to LCHs. We review the insights gained from past evolution experiments with S. cerevisiae in LCH inhibitors and propose experimental designs to optimise the discovery of genetic variants adaptive to biomass toxicity. The knowledge gathered through ALE projects is envisaged as a roadmap to engineer superior yeast strains for biomass-based bioprocesses.

Abstract
Inhibitors in lignocellulosic hydrolysates are toxic to Zymomonas mobilis and reduce its bioethanol production. This study revealed cysteine supplementation enhanced furfural tolerance in Z. mobilis with a 2-fold biomass increase. Transcriptomic study illustrated that cysteine biosynthesis pathway was down-regulated while cysteine catabolism was up-regulated with cysteine supplementation. Mutants for genes involved in cysteine metabolism were constructed, and metabolites in cysteine metabolic pathway including methionine, glutathione, NaHS, glutamate, and pyruvate were supplemented into media. Cysteine supplementation boosted glutathione synthesis or H2S release effectively in Z. mobilis leading to the reduced accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by furfural, while pyruvate and glutamate produced in the H2S generation pathway promoted cell growth by serving as the carbon or nitrogen source. Finally, cysteine supplementation was confirmed to enhance Z. mobilis tolerance against ethanol, acetate, and corncob hydrolysate with an enhanced ethanol productivity from 0.38 to 0.55 g-1∙L-1∙h-1.

Abstract
The search for sustainable processes is constantly increasing in the last years, so reusing, recycling and adding value to residues and by-products from agroindustry is a consolidated area of research. Particularly in the field of fermentation technology, the lignocellulosic substrates have been used to produce a diversity of chemicals, fuels and food additives. These residues or by-products are rich sources of carbon, which may be used to yield fermentescible sugars upon hydrolysis, but are usually inaccessible to enzyme and microbial attack. Therefore, pre-treatments (e.g. hydrolysis, steam explosion, biological pretreatment or others) are required prior to microbial action. Biopigments are added-value compounds that can be produced biotechnologically, including fermentation processes employing lignocellulosic substrates. These molecules are important not only for their coloring properties, but also for their biological activities. Therefore, this paper discusses the most recent and relevant processes for biopigment production using lignocellulosic substrates (solid-state fermentation) or their hydrolysates.

Abstract
The second (lignocellulosic biomass and industrial wastes) and third (algal biomass) generation feedstocks gained substantial interest as a source of various value-added chemicals, produced by fermentation. Lactic acid is a valuable platform chemical with both traditional and newer applications in many industries. The successful fractionation, separation, and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass result in sugars’ rich raw material for lactic acid fermentation. This review paper aims to summarize the investigations and progress in the last 5 years in lactic acid production from inexpensive and renewable resources. Different aspects are discussed—the type of raw materials, pretreatment and detoxification methods, lactic acid-producers (bacteria, fungi, and yeasts), use of genetically manipulated microorganisms, separation techniques, different approaches of process organization, as well as main challenges, and possible solutions for process optimization.

Abstract
Cell self-flocculation endows yeast strains with improved environmental stress tolerance that benefits bioproduction. Exploration of the metabolic and regulatory network differences between the flocculating and non-flocculating cells is conducive to developing strains with satisfactory fermentation efficiency. In this work, integrated analyses of transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome were performed using flocculating yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae SPSC01 and its non-flocculating mutant grown under acetic acid stress, and the results revealed prominent changes in protein kinases. Overexpressing the mitogen-activated protein kinase Hog1 upregulated by flocculation led to reduced ROS accumulation and increased glutathione peroxidase activity, leading to improved ethanol production under stress. Among the seven genes encoding protein kinases that were tested, AKL1 showed the best performance when overexpressed, achieving higher ethanol productivity in both corncob hydrolysate and simulated corn stover hydrolysate. These results provide alternative strategies for improving cellulosic ethanol production by engineering key protein kinases in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Glutathione (L-γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) is a tripeptide synthesized through consecutive enzymatic reactions. Among its several metabolic functions in cells, the main one is the potential to act as an endogenous antioxidant agent. GSH has been the focus of numerous studies not only due to its role in the redox status of biological systems but also due to its biotechnological characteristics. GSH is usually obtained by fermentation and shows a variety of applications by the pharmaceutical and food industry. Therefore, the search for new strategies to improve the production of GSH during fermentation is crucial. This mini review brings together recent papers regarding the principal parameters of the biotechnological production of GSH by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this context, aspects, such as the medium composition (amino acids, alternative raw materials) and the use of technological approaches (control of osmotic and pressure conditions, magnetic field (MF) application, fed-batch process) were considered, along with genetic engineering knowledge, trends, and challenges in viable GSH production. KEY POINTS: • Saccharomyces cerevisiae has shown potential for glutathione production. • Improved technological approaches increases glutathione production. • Genetic engineering in Saccharomyces cerevisiae improves glutathione production.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass-derived fuels, chemicals, and materials are promising sustainable solutions to replace the current petroleum-based production. The direct microbial conversion of thermos-chemically pretreated lignocellulosic biomass is hampered by the presence of highly toxic chemical compounds. Also, thermo-catalytic upgrading of lignocellulosic biomass generates wastewater that contains heterogeneous toxic chemicals, a mixture of unutilized carbon. Metabolic engineering efforts have primarily focused on the conversion of carbohydrates in lignocellulose biomass; substantial opportunities exist to harness value from toxic lignocellulose-derived toxic compounds. This article presents the comprehensive metabolic routes and tolerance mechanisms to develop robust synthetic microbial cell factories to valorize the highly toxic compounds to advanced-platform chemicals. The obtained platform chemicals can be used to manufacture high-value biopolymers and biomaterials via a hybrid biochemical approach for replacing petroleum-based incumbents. The proposed strategy enables a sustainable bio-based materials economy by microbial biofunneling of lignocellulosic biomass-derived toxic molecules, an untapped biogenic carbon.

Abstract
In recent years, lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as one of the most versatile energy sources among the research community for the production of biofuels and value-added chemicals. However, biomass pretreatment plays an important role in reducing the recalcitrant properties of lignocellulose, leading to superior quality of target products in bioenergy production. Among existing pretreatment techniques, liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment has several outstanding advantages compared to others including minimum formation of monomeric sugars, significant removal of hemicellulose, and positive environmental impacts; however, several constraints of LHW pretreatment should be clarified. This contribution aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of reaction mechanism, reactor characteristics, influencing factors, techno-economic aspects, challenges, and prospects for LHW-based biomass pretreatment. Generally, LHW pretreatment could be widely employed in bioenergy processing from biomass, but circular economy-based advanced pretreatment techniques should be further studied in the future to achieve maximum efficiency, and minimum cost and drawbacks.

Abstract
Soluble compounds produced during the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocelluloses hampers cellulose conversion. Cellobiose and vanillin most severely inhibited the effect of cellobiohydrolase I. A concentration-dependent negative cooperative effect was found between cellobiose and vanillin. The combined inhibitory effect was about 83.5% of the cellobiose and 88.1% of the vanillin when their concentration was 20 mg/ml. However, the negative synergy could be eliminated by excessive enzyme loading. Differences in their binding sites on the catalytic domain of cellobiohydrolase I lead to negative synergistic inhibition, which should be considered in devising strategies to alleviate this effect. Combined β-glucosidase and PEG addition at an appropriate dose was feasible to balance cost and hydrolytic efficiency. To achieve efficient hydrolysis, especially at high solid concentrations, it is important to understand the synergistic inhibition between these inhibitors.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is a highly renewable, economical, and carbon-neutral feedstock containing sugar-rich moieties that can be processed to produce second-generation biofuels and bio-sourced compounds. However, due to their heterogeneous multi-scale structure, the lignocellulosic materials have major limitations to valorization and exhibit recalcitrance to saccharification or hydrolysis by enzymes. In this context, this review focuses on the latest methods available and state-of-the-art technologies in the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, which aids the disintegration of the complex materials into monomeric units. In addition, this review deals with the genetic engineering techniques to develop advanced strategies for fermentation processes or microbial cell factories to generate desired products in native or modified hosts. Further, it also intends to bridge the gap in developing various economically feasible lignocellulosic products and chemicals using biorefining technologies.

Abstract
Dilute inorganic acids hydrolysis is one of the most promising pretreatment strategies with high recovery of fermentable sugars and low cost for sustainable production of biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. The diverse phenolics derived from lignin degradation during pretreatment are the main inhibitors for enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. However, the content features of derived phenolics and produced glucose under different conditions are still unclear due to the highly non-linear characteristic of biomass pretreatment. Here, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed for simultaneous prediction of the derived phenolic contents (CPhe) and glucose yield (CGlc) in corn stover hydrolysate before microbial fermentation by integrating dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. Six processing parameters including inorganic acid concentration (CIA), pretreatment temperature (T), residence time (t), solid-to-liquid ratio (RSL), kinds of inorganic acids (kIA), and enzyme loading dosage (E) were used as input variables. The CPhe and CGlc were set as the two output variables. An optimized topology structure of 6-12-2 in the ANN model was determined by comparing root means square errors, which has a better prediction efficiency for CPhe (R2 = 0.904) and CGlc (R2 = 0.906). Additionally, the relative importance of six input variables on CPhe and CGlc was firstly calculated by the Garson equation with net weight matrixes. The results indicated that CIA had strong effects (22%-23%) on CPhe or CGlc, then followed by E and T. In conclusion, the findings provide new insights into the sustainable development and inverse optimization of biorefinery process from ANN modeling perspectives.

[PMID: 34906148 PMCID: PMC8672639 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-021-01715-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Kluyveromyces marxianus is a potentially excellent host for microbial cell factories using lignocellulosic biomass, due to its thermotolerance, high growth rate, and wide substrate spectrum. However, its tolerance to inhibitors derived from lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment needs to be improved. The prefoldin complex assists the folding of cytoskeleton which relates to the stress tolerance, moreover, several subunits of prefoldin have been verified to be involved in gene expression regulation. With the presence of inhibitors, the expression of a gene coding the subunit 4 of prefoldin (KmPFD4), a possible transcription factor, was significantly changed. Therefore, KmPFD4 was selected to evaluate its functions in inhibitors tolerance. RESULTS In this study, the disruption of the prefoldin subunit 4 gene (KmPFD4) led to increased concentration of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and disturbed the assembly of actin and tubulin in the presence of inhibitors, resulting in reduced inhibitor tolerance. Nuclear localization of KmPFD4 indicated that it could regulate gene expression. Transcriptomic analysis showed that upregulated gene expression related to ROS elimination, ATP production, and NAD+ synthesis, which is a response to the presence of inhibitors, disappeared in KmPFD4-disrupted cells. Thus, KmPFD4 impacts inhibitor tolerance by maintaining integration of the cytoskeleton and directly or indirectly affecting the expression of genes in response to inhibitors. Finally, overexpression of KmPFD4 enhanced ethanol fermentation with a 46.27% improvement in productivity in presence of the inhibitors. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that KmPFD4 plays a positive role in the inhibitor tolerance and can be applied for the development of inhibitor-tolerant platform strains.

Abstract
Effects of post-washing [one-volume water (I-VW) or double-volume water (Ⅱ-VW)] on pretreated hemp and poplar biomass and enzymatic hydrolysis of the mixture of HOAc and NaOH pretreated biomass and their mixed filtrate were investigated. Compared to I-VW, Ⅱ-VW increased 3.76-6.80% of glucan content in NaOH pretreated biomass, diminished lignin recondensation, and heightened cellulose-related FTIR peak intensities, crystallinity index, and lignin removal. The pH of mixed filtrate was around 4.80, precipitating the NaOH soluble lignin partially. Although Ⅱ-VW showed lower lignin recoveries than I-VW, their FTIR characteristics were equivalent to the commercial alkali lignin. Enzymatic hydrolysis at solid loadings of 2.5-10% (w/v) demonstrated that I-VW and Ⅱ-VW had marginal variations in sugar concentration and conversion efficiency, indicating that I-VW is sufficient for post-washing pretreated biomass. Glucose concentration exhibited a quadratic correlation with solid loading and hemp biomass reached the maximum glucose (43.88 g/L) and total sugar (57.08 g/L) concentrations with I-VW.

Abstract
The production of chemicals and fuels from renewable biomass with the primary aim of reducing carbon footprints has recently become one of the central points of interest. The use of lignocellulosic biomass for energy production is believed to meet the main criteria of maximizing the available global energy source and minimizing pollutant emissions. However, before usage in bioenergy production, lignocellulosic biomass needs to undergo several processes, among which biomass pretreatment plays an important role in the yield, productivity, and quality of the products. Acid-based pretreatment, one of the existing methods applied for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, has several advantages, such as short operating time and high efficiency. A thorough analysis of the characteristics of acid-based biomass pretreatment is presented in this review. The environmental concerns and future challenges involved in using acid pretreatment methods are discussed in detail to achieve clean and sustainable bioenergy production. The application of acid to biomass pretreatment is considered an effective process for biorefineries that aim to optimize the production of desired products while minimizing the by-products.
