[PMID: 37797802 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129819] [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: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/01/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
2,5-Dihydroxymethylfuran and furfuryl alcohol serve as versatile building-blocks in pharmaceuticals, polymers, and value-added intermediates. To develop an efficient and sustainable method for their production from biomass, a combined approach using deep eutectic solvent Citric acid:Betaine (CTA:BT) for bagasse catalysis and recombinant E. coli SCFD23 for bioreduction of bagasse-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural was devised. Bagasse was effectively transformed into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (48 mM) and furfural (14 mM) in CTA:BT (8 wt%)-water at 170 °C for 30 min. Bioreduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural by SCFD23 cell co-expressing formate dehydrogenase and NAD(P)H-dependent aldehyde reductase (SsCR) yielded 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (90.0 % yield) and furfuryl alcohol (99.0 % yield) in 6 h, using biomass-derived formic acid, xylose and glucose as co-substrates. Molecular docking confirmed the stable binding and reductase activity of SsCR with the biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural. An efficient and eco-friendly chemobiological approach was applied for co-production of 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran and furfuryl alcohol from biomass in one-pot two-step reaction.

Abstract
Green solvents, especially deep eutectic solvents (DESs), are widely applied to pretreat biomass for enhancing its enzymatic hydrolysis. In this work, lactic acid was selected as the hydrogen-bond-donor to prepare Betaine-base DES (Betaine:LA), The DES was utilized to pretreat sugarcane bagasse (SCB) at 160 ℃ for 80 min (severity factor LogR0 = 3.67). The influences of Betaine:LA treatment on the chemical composition, crystal and microstructure structure of cellulose, and cellulase digestion were investigated. The results showed that the lignin (47.1%) and xylan (44.6%) were removed, the cellulase digestibility of Betaine:LA-treated SCB was 4.2 times that of the raw material. This improved efficiency was attributed to the enhanced accessibility of cellulose, the weakened surface area of lignin, the declined hydrophobicity, and the decreased crystallinity of cellulose. Several compelling linear correlations were fitted between enzymatic hydrolysis and these alterations of physicochemical features, comprehensively understanding enzymatic saccharification of Betaine:LA-pretreated SCB.

Abstract
Lignin is a critical biopolymer for creating a large number of highly valuable biobased compounds. Vanillin, one of lignin-derived aromatics, can be used to synthesize vanillylamine that is a key fine chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate. To produce vanillylamine, a productive whole-cell-catalyzed biotransformation of vanillin was developed in deep eutectic solvent - surfactant - H2O media. One newly created recombinant E. coli 30CA cells expressing ω-transaminase and L-alanine dehydrogenase was employed to transform 50 mM and 60 mM vanillin into vanillylamine in the yield of 82.2% and 8.5% under 40 °C, respectively. The biotransamination efficiency was enhanced by introducing surfactant PEG-2000 (40 mM) and deep eutectic solvent ChCl:LA (5.0 wt%, pH 8.0), and the highest vanillylamine yield reached 90.0% from 60 mM vanillin. Building an effective bioprocess was utilized for transamination of lignin-derived vanillin to vanillylamine with newly created bacteria in an eco-friendly medium, which had potential application for valorization of lignin to value-added compounds.

Abstract
In this study, efficient and sustainable conversion of waste bread (WB) to 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furoamine (HMFA) was achieved in a cascade reaction in betaine:malonic acid (B:MA) - water. 5-HMF (30.3 wt% yield) was synthesized from WB (40.0 g/L) in B:MA - water (B:MA, 18 wt%) in 45 min at 190 °C. By using the newly created recombinant E. coli HNILGD-AlaDH cells expressing L-alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) and ω-transaminase mutant HNILGD as biocatalyst, the WB-valorized 5-HMF was biologically aminated into HMFA in a high yield (92.1%) at 35 °C for 12 h through in situ removal of the amino transfer by-products of the amine donor, greatly reducing amine donor dosage (from D-Ala/5-HMF = 16/1 to D-Ala/5-HMF = 2/1, mol/mol) and improving the productivity of HMFA (0.282 g HMFA per g WB). This two-step chemical-enzymatic cascade reaction strategy with B:MA and HNILGD-AlaDH whole-cell provides a new idea for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of valuable furan chemicals from waste biomass.

Abstract
Exploiting bamboo shoot shells (BSS) as feedstocks for biorefining is a crucial scheme to advance the bioavailability of bamboo shoots. This work applied traditional dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment (DAP) to treat BSS and simultaneously prepared the solid-acid-catalyst by using BSS as carbon-based carriers. The biocatalysis of the prehydrolysate from DAP and enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated BSS was subsequently performed to achieve efficient bioconversion of its carbohydrates. The results displayed that 0.1 g/L H2SO4 employed in DAP was the optimal condition for furfural conversion of BSS during biocatalysis, reaching the maximum of 41%. Meanwhile, the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of the pretreated BSS also reached the maximum of 97%. This increment of efficiency was ascribed to the enhancement of accessibility and cellulosic crystal size, and also the reduction of surface area of lignin in BSS. Ultimately, the efficient bioutilization of BSS and bioconversion of its carbohydrates were realized by DAP technology.

Abstract
Via combination catalysis with deep eutectic solvent lactic acid:betaine (chemocatalyst) and HMFOMUT cell (biocatalyst: E. coli HMFOMUT whole-cell), one-pot manufacture of 2,5-furandimethanol from waste bioresource was constructed in a chemoenzymatic approach. With bread waste (50 g/L) as substrate, the 5-hydroxymethylfuran yield reached 44.2 Cmol% (based on bread waste) by lactic acid:betaine (15 wt%) at 180 °C for 15 min. With glucose as co-substrate, HMFOMUT could transform 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (150 mM) to 2,5-furandimethanol (84.5 % yield) after 1 day at 37 °C and pH 7.0. In lactic acid:betaine-H2O, HMFOMUT effectively converted bread-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-furandimethanol in a productivity of 700 kg 2,5-furandimethanol per kg 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (230 kg 2,5-furandimethanol per kg bread). In an eco-friendly lactic acid:betaine system, an effective one-pot chemoenzymatic strategy was firstly developed to convert bread waste into 2,5-furandimethanol, which would reduce the operation cost and has potential application value for valorizing waste food bioresource into value-added furan.

Genomic Features of Pseudomonas putida PCL1760: A Biocontrol Agent Acting via Competition for Nutrient and Niche. Appl Microbiol 2022.

Abstract
Pseudomonasputida strain PCL1760 is a biocontrol agent protecting plants from pathogens via the mechanism of competition for nutrients and niches (CNN). To confirm this mechanism as well as to adapt the strain for biotechnological applications, full genome analysis was compared with the known biotechnological model, P. putida S12, and other related species, which were analyzed on different genomic databases. Moreover, the antibacterial activity of PCL1760 was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Pseudomonas syringae. No genetic systems involved in antibiosis were revealed among the secondary metabolite clusters of the strain of PCL1760. The only antagonistic effect was observed against P. syringae, which might be because of siderophore (yellow-greenish fluorescence), although less than 19% pyoverdin biosynthesis clusters were predicted using the AntiSMASH server. P. putida PCL1760 in comparison with the Pseudomonas simiae strain PCL1751, another biocontrol agent acting solely via CNN, which lost its ‘luxury’ genes necessary for antibiosis or parasitism/predation mechanisms, but carries genetic systems providing motility. Interestingly, immunity genes (CRISPR/Cas and prophages) showed PCL1760 to be robust in comparison with S12, while annotation on OrthoVenn2 showed PCL1760 to be amenable for genetic manipulations. It is tempting to state that rhizobacteria using the mechanism of CNN are distinguishable from biocontrol agents acting via antibiosis or parasitism/predation at the genomic level. This confirms the CNN of PCL1760 as the sole mechanism for biocontrol and we suggest the strain as a new model for genetic engineering.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furfurylamine (5-HMFA) as an important 5-HMF derivative has been widely utilized in the manufacture of diuretics, antihypertensive drugs, preservatives and curing agents. In this work, an efficient chemoenzymatic route was constructed for producing 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfurylamine (5-HMFA) from biobased D-fructose in deep eutectic solvent Betaine:Glycerol–water. The introduction of Betaine:Glycerol could greatly promote the dehydration of D-fructose to 5-HMF and inhibit the secondary decomposition reactions of 5-HMF, compared with a single aqueous phase. D-Fructose (200 mM) could be catalyzed to 5-HMF (183.4 mM) at 91.7% yield by SG(SiO2) (3 wt%) after 90 min in Betaine:Glycerol (20 wt%), and at 150 °C. E. coli AT exhibited excellent bio-transamination activity to aminate 5-HMF into 5-HMFA at 35 °C and pH 7.5. After 24 h, D-fructose-derived 5-HMF (165.4 mM) was converted to 5-HMFA (155.7 mM) in 94.1% yield with D-Ala (D-Ala-to-5-HMF molar ratio 15:1) in Betaine:Glycerol (20 wt%) without removal of SG(SiO2), achieving a productivity of 0.61 g 5-HMFA/(g substrate D-fructose). Chemoenzymatic valorization of D-fructose with SG(SiO2) and E. coli AT was established for sustainable production of 5-HMFA, which has potential application.

Abstract
Sunflower stalk was utilized as a source of raw material and catalyst for furfural production, and efficient conversion of xylose-rich hydrolysate into furfural was developed in an aqueous deep eutectic solvent/organic solvent medium by carbonaceous solid acid catalyst SO42-/SnO2-SSXR. The structural characteristics of SO42-/SnO2-SSXR was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Pyridine Adsorption Fourier-transform Infrared (Py-IR) and Raman. Under the optimum catalytic conditions, furfural (110.1 mM) yield reached 82.6% in a ChCl-MAA/toluene medium at 180 °C in 15 min by 3.6 wt% SO42-/SnO2-SSXR. Additionally, quite importantly, SO42-/SnO2-SSXR, ChCl-MAA and toluene had good recyclability for furfural production. The potential catalytic path of xylose dehydration into furfural was proposed by co-catalysis with SO42-/SnO2-SSXR and ChCl-MAA. This study revealed high potential sustainable application of furfural production.

Abstract
In this work, the feasibility of chemoenzymatically transforming biomass-derived D-xylose to furfuryl alcohol was demonstrated in a tandem reaction with SO42−/SnO2-CS chemocatalyst and reductase biocatalyst in the deep eutectic solvent (DES)–water media. The high furfural yield (44.6%) was obtained by catalyzing biomass-derived D-xylose (75.0 g/L) in 20 min at 185 °C with SO42−/SnO2-CS (1.2 wt%) in DES ChCl:EG–water (5:95, v/v). Subsequently, recombinant E.coli CF cells harboring reductases transformed D-xylose-derived furfural (200.0 mM) to furfuryl alcohol in the yield of 35.7% (based on D-xylose) at 35 °C and pH 7.5 using HCOONa as cosubstrate in ChCl:EG–water. This chemoenzymatic cascade catalysis strategy could be employed for the sustainable production of value-added furan-based chemical from renewable bioresource.
