Abstract
The valorization of organic solid waste to lactic acid (LA) in open fermentation systems has attracted tremendous interest in recent years. In this study, a highly efficient oriented LA bioconversion system from food waste (FW) in open mode was established. The maximum LA production was 115 g/L, with a high yield of 0.97 g-LA/g-total sugar. FW is a low-cost feedstock for LA production, containing indigenous hydrolysis and LA-producing bacteria (LAB). Saccharification and real-time pH control were found to be essential for maintaining LAB dominantly in open systems. Furthermore, microbial community analysis revealed that Enterococcus mundtii adapted to complex FW substrates and dominated the subsequent bioconversion process. The oriented LA bioconversion exhibited the capacity for biological carbon fixation by reducing CO2 emissions by at least 21 kg per ton of FW under anaerobic conditions.

Abstract
Rumen microorganisms have the ability to efficiently hydrolyze and acidify lignocellulosic biomass. The effectiveness of long-term rumen microorganism fermentation of lignocellulose in vitro for producing volatile fatty acids (VFAs) is unclear. The feasibility of long-term rumen microorganism fermentation of lignocelluose was evaluated in this study, and a stable VFA production was successfully realized for 120 d. Results showed that VFA concentration reached to 5.32-8.48 g/L during long-term fermentation. Hydrolysis efficiency of hemicellulose and cellulose reached 36.5%-52.2% and 29.4%-38.4%, respectively. A stable bacterial community was mainly composed of Prevotella, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, Ruminococcus, and Succiniclasticum. VFA accumulation led to a pH decrease, which caused the change of bacterial community structure. Functional prediction showed that the functional genes related to hydrolysis and acidogenesis of corn stover were highly expressed during long-term fermentation. The successful long-term rumen fermentation to produce VFAs is of great significance for the practical application of rumen microorganisms.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for the biodegradable polymer material polylactic acid and its advantage of being metabolized by the human body, L-lactic acid (L-LA) is becoming increasingly attractive in environmental protection and food industry applications. However, the supply of L-LA is not satisfied, and the price is still high. Compared to enzymatic and chemical synthesis methods, L-LA production by microbial fermentation has the advantages of low cost, large yield, simple operation, and environmental protection. This review summarizes the advances in engineering microbial cell factories to produce L-LA. First, the synthetic pathways and microorganisms for L-LA production are outlined. Then, the metabolic engineering strategies for constructing cell factories to overproduce L-LA are summarized and fermentation modes for L-LA production are also given. Finally, the challenges and prospects of the microbial production of L-LA are discussed. This review provides theoretical guidance for researchers engaged in L-LA production.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 352:127108. [PMID: 35381334 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
This study focuses on enhancing lactic acid (LA) production and declining water and alkali consumption by reusing the pretreated liquid (PL) of spent mushroom substance (SMS) in the co-fermentation of food waste (FW) and SMS. First, the compositions of PL are identified, and the effects of the PL inhibitors on enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation are explored. The PL phenol concentrations exceeded 2 g/L, which affected LA fermentation. Therefore, PL phenols were removed by adjusting the pH value, and the detoxified PL (DPL) phenol concentrations were 70.3% lower than those of PL. Different PL:DPL ratios were established to reuse in the fermentation process, and the LA concentration in the 50% PL + 50% DPL group was the highest (56.7 g/L). Then, pretreated SMS was not water-washed, and a neutralizer was prepared with the PL, LA production remained unchanged. Water and NaOH consumption decreased by 84.6% and 52.0%, respectively, and no wastewater was produced.
