Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-lactate) [P(3HB-co-LA)] is a highly promising valuable biodegradable material with good biocompatibility and degradability. Vibrio natriegens, owing to its fast-growth, wide substrate spectrum characteristics, was selected to produce P(3HB-co-LA). Herein, the crucial role of acetyltransferase PN96-18060 for PHB synthesis in V. natriegens was identified. Heterologous pathway of P(3HB-co-LA) was introduced into V. natriegens successfully, in addition, overexpression of the dldh gene led to 1.84 fold enhancement of the lactate content in P(3HB-co-LA). Finally, the production of P(3HB-co-LA) was characterized under different carbon sources. The lactate fraction in P(3HB-co-LA) was increased to 28.3 mol% by the modification, about 1.84 times of that of the control. This is the first successful case of producing the P(3HB-co-LA) in V. natriegens. Collectively, this study showed that V. natriegens is an attractive host organism for producing P(3HB-co-LA) and has great potential to produce other co-polymers.

Wang J, Huang J, Liu S. The production, recovery, and valorization of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) based on circular bioeconomy. Biotechnol Adv 2024; 72:108340. [PMID: 38537879 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2024.108340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
As an energy-storage substance of microorganisms, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a promising alternative to petrochemical polymers. Under appropriate fermentation conditions, PHB-producing strains with metabolic diversity can efficiently synthesize PHB using various carbon sources. Carbon-rich wastes may serve as alternatives to pure sugar substrates to reduce the cost of PHB production. Genetic engineering strategies can further improve the efficiency of substrate assimilation and PHB synthesis. In the downstream link, PHB recycling strategies based on green chemistry concepts can replace PHB extraction using chlorinated solvents to enhance the economics of PHB production and reduce the potential risks of environmental pollution and health damage. To avoid carbon loss caused by biodegradation in the traditional sense, various strategies have been developed to degrade PHB waste into monomers. These monomers can serve as platform chemicals to synthesize other functional compounds or as substrates for PHB reproduction. The sustainable potential and cycling value of PHB are thus reflected. This review summarized the recent progress of strains, substrates, and fermentation approaches for microbial PHB production. Analyses of available strategies for sustainable PHB recycling were also included. Furthermore, it discussed feasible pathways for PHB waste valorization. These contents may provide insights for constructing PHB-based comprehensive biorefinery systems.

Abstract
Establishing a platform for the bioconversion of waste resources into value-added compounds is critical for achieving a sustainable and eco-friendly economy. Herein, we produced polyhydroxyalkanoate via microbial fermentation using cabbage waste as a feedstock and metabolically engineered Escherichia coli. For this, the hydrolysis conditions of cabbage waste were optimized by focusing on parameters such as substrate and enzyme concentrations to enhance the saccharification efficiency. The phaABC operon, which encodes key enzymes responsible for polyhydroxyalkanoate biosynthesis in Ralstonia eutropha H16, was overexpressed in E. coli. Using cabbage hydrolysate as the feedstock, this engineered E. coli strain could produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) with a polymer content of 26.0 wt % of dry cell weight. Moreover, malic acid in cabbage hydrolysate significantly enhanced poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) production; the addition of 0.5 g/L malic acid markedly increased poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) content by 59.9%. This study demonstrates the potential of cabbage waste as a promising raw material for the microbial production of polyhydroxyalkanoate.

Abstract
Seaweeds are an excellent source of unique antioxidant phytochemicals, dietary fibres, essential amino acids, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids and minerals. The presence of such structurally diverse and high value bioactive compounds has led to popularization of seaweed as functional food ingredient in global health supplement market. India, with a long coastline of 8100 km and exclusive economic zone of 2.17 million km2, is rich in diverse seaweed resources belonging to almost 700 species. However, food and nutraceutical application of Indian seaweed is highly constrained. Apart from Kappaphycus alvarezii, there is no systematic commercial cultivation of seaweed in India. The regulatory framework for use of seaweed as food is still developing and consumer acceptance is still low. However, there is a timely and renewed interest from different government agencies and research organisations to develop a thriving food and nutraceutical industry using India's vast seaweed resources. The review briefly describes the nutritional and functional food potential of the seaweed and goes on to discuss the scope of seaweed utilization in food and nutraceutical industry in India. Further, the review has identified the regulatory challenges and quality control requirements for use of seaweeds in food and nutraceuticals.

Abstract
In recent years, extremophilic microorganisms have been employed as producers of the microbial bioplastics polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), which are of great biotechnological value. Nevertheless, cold-loving or psychrophilic (cryophilic) bacteria have been neglected in this regard. Here, we present an investigation of the Arctic glacier-derived PHA producer Acidovorax sp. A1169. Biolog GEN III Microplates were used as a screening tool to identify the most suitable carbon substrate concerning PHA synthesis. The strain produced homopolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) most efficiently (2 g/L) at a temperature of 15 °C when supplied with fructose or mannitol as carbon sources with a substantial decrease of PHB biosynthesis at 17.5 °C. The PHB yield did not increase considerably or even decreased when carbon source concentration exceeded 10 g/L hinting that the strain is oligotrophic in nature. The strain was also capable of introducing 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) into the polymer structure, which is known to improve PHA thermoplastic properties. This is the first investigation providing insight into a PHA biosynthesis process by means of a true psychrophile, offering guidelines on polar-region bacteria cultivation, production of PHA and also on the methodology for genetic engineering of psychrophiles.

Foods 2023; 12:foods12071555. [PMID: 37048377 PMCID: PMC10094035 DOI: 10.3390/foods12071555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Fucoidanase is an unstable enzyme with high specificity that requires a large about of time to screen it from microorganisms. In this study, enzymatic hydrolysis was used to produce low-molecular-weight fucoidan from microorganisms via the degradation of high-molecular-weight fucoidan without damage to the sulfate esterification structure of oligosaccharide. The microbial strain HN-25 was isolated from sea mud and was made to undergo mutagenicity under ultraviolet light. Fucoidanase was extracted via ultrasonication and its enzymatic activity was improved via optimization of the ultrasonic conditions. The enzymatic properties and degradation efficiency of fucoidanase were characterized. The microbial strain HN-25 is a Gram-negative aerobic and rod-shaped-cell bacterium, and therefore was identified as Cobetia amphilecti via 16s rDNA. The results proved that fucoidanase is a hydrolytic enzyme with a molecular weight of 35 kDa and with high activity and stability at 30 °C and pH 8.0. The activity of fucoidanase was significantly enhanced by sodium and calcium ions and inhibited by a copper ion and ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). There was a significant decrease in the molecular weight of fucoidan after enzymatic hydrolysis. The low-molecular-weight fuicodan was divided into four fractions, mainly concentrated at F3 (20~10 kDa) and F4 (≤6 kDa). These consequences suggest that fucoidanase obtained from Cobetia amphilecti is stable and efficient and could be a good tool in the production of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
The avocado processing industry produces up to 1.3M tons of agro-waste annually. Chemical analysis of avocado seed waste (ASW) revealed that it is rich in carbohydrates (464.7 ± 21.4 g kg-1) and proteins (37.2 ± 1.5 g kg-1). Optimized microbial cultivation of Cobetia amphilecti using an acid hydrolysate of ASW, generated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) in a 2.1 ± 0.1 g L-1 concentration. The PHB productivity of C. amphilecti cultivated on ASW extract was 17.5 mg L-1 h-1. The process in which a novel ASW substrate was utilized has been further augmented by using ethyl levulinate as a sustainable extractant. This process achieved 97.4 ± 1.9 % recovery yield and 100 ± 1 % purity (measured by TGA, NMR, and FTIR) of the target PHB biopolymer, along with a high and relatively uniform PHB molecular weight (Mw = 1831 kDa, Mn = 1481 kDa, Mw/Mn = 1.24) (measured by gel permeation chromatography), compared to PHB polymer extracted by chloroform (Mw = 389 kDa, Mn = 297 kDa, Mw/Mn = 1.31). This is the first example of ASW utilization as a sustainable and inexpensive substrate for PHB biosynthesis and ethyl levulinate as an efficient and green extractant of PHB from a single bacterial biomass.
