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.

Diversely regio-oxidative degradation of konjac glucomannan by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase AA10 and generating antibacterial hydrolysate. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131094. [PMID: 38537852 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131094] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) hydrolysate exhibit various biological activities and health-promoting effects. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) play an important role on enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides to obtain fermentable sugars. It is generally accepted that LPMOs exhibits high substrate specificity and oxidation regioselectivity. Here, a bacteria-derived SmAA10A, with chitin-active with strict C1 oxidation, was used to catalyse KGM degradation. Through ethanol precipitation, two hydrolysed KGM components (4 kDa (KGM-1) and 5 kDa (KGM-2)) were obtained that exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. In natural KGM, KGM-1, and KGM-2, the molar ratios of mannose to glucose were 1:2.19, 1:3.05, and 1:2.87, respectively, indicating that SmAA10A preferentially degrades mannose in KGM. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy imaging revealed the breakage of glycosylic bonds during enzymatic catalysis. The regioselectivity of SmAA10A for KGM degradation was determined based on the fragmentation behaviour of the KGM-1 and KGM-2 oligosaccharides and their NaBD4-reduced forms. SmAA10A exhibited diverse oxidation degradation of KGM and generated single C1-, single C4-, and C1/C4-double oxidised oligosaccharide forms. This study provides an alternative method for obtaining KGM degradation components with antibacterial functions and expands the substrate specificity and oxidation regioselectivity of bacterial LPMOs.

Abstract
The pretreatment and the enzymatic saccharification are the key steps in the extraction of fermentable sugars for further valorization of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) to biofuels and value-added products via biochemical and/or chemical conversion routes. Due to low density and high-water absorption capacity of LCB, the large volume of water is required for its processing. Integration of pretreatment, saccharification, and co-fermentation has succeeded and well-reported in the literature. However, there are only few reports on extraction of fermentable sugars from LCB with high biomass loading (>10% Total solids-TS) feasible to industrial reality. Furthermore, the development of enzymatic cocktails can overcome technology hurdles with high biomass loading. Hence, a better understanding of constraints involved in the development of technology with high biomass loading can result in an economical and efficient yield of fermentable sugars for the production of biofuels and bio-chemicals with viable titer, rate, and yield (TRY) at industrial scale. The present review aims to provide a critical assessment on the production of fermentable sugars from lignocelluloses with high solid biomass loading. The impact of inhibitors produced during both pretreatment and saccharification has been elucidated. Moreover, the limitations imposed by high solid loading on efficient mass transfer during saccharification process have been elaborated.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) can improve the effectiveness with which agricultural waste is utilized. This study described the potent AA9 family protein MsLPMO3, derived from Morchella sextelata. It exhibited strong binding to phosphoric acid swollen cellulose (PASC), and had the considerable binding ability to Cu2+ with a Kd value of 2.70 μM by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). MsLPMO3 could also act on PASC at the C1 carbon via MALDI-TOF-MS results. Moreover, MsLPMO3 could boost the hydrolysis efficiency of corncob and wheat bran in combination with glycoside hydrolases. MsLPMO3 also exhibited strong oxidizing ability for 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP), achieving the best Vmax value of 443.36 U·g-1 for pH 7.4 with a H2O2 concentration of 300 µM. The structure of MsLPMO3 was obtained using AlphaFold2, and the molecular docking results elucidated the specific interactions and key residues involved in the recognition process between MsLPMO3 and cellulose. Altogether, this study expands the knowledge of AA9 family proteins in cellulose degradation, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms of synergistic degradation of lignocellulose with cellulases.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are natural chemical compounds that are extensively employed in the food and pharmaceutical industries. They exhibit a wide range of physical and biological properties. These properties are commonly improved by using chemical and physical methods. However, with the advancement of biotechnology and increased demand for green, clean, and safe products, polysaccharide modification via microbial fermentation has gained importance in improving their physicochemical and biological activities. The physicochemical and structural characteristics, biological activity, and modification mechanisms of microbially fermented polysaccharides were reviewed and summarized in this study. Polysaccharide modifications were categorized and discussed in terms of strains and fermentation techniques. The effects of microbial fermentation on the physicochemical characteristics of polysaccharides were highlighted. The impact of modification of polysaccharides on their antioxidant, immune, hypoglycemic, and other activities, as well as probiotic digestive enhancement, were also discussed. Finally, we investigated a potential enzyme-based process for polysaccharide modification via microbial fermentation. Modification of polysaccharides via microbial fermentation has significant value and application potential.

Exploring the cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic activities of manganese peroxidase for lignocellulose deconstruction. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AND BIOPRODUCTS 2023; 16:139.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A cost-effective pretreatment and saccharification process is a necessary prerequisite for utilizing lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) in biofuel and biomaterials production. Utilizing a multifunctional enzyme with both pretreatment and saccharification functions in a single step for simultaneous biological pretreatment and saccharification process (SPS) will be a green method of low cost and high efficiency. Manganese peroxidase (MnP, EC 1.11.1.13), a well-known lignin-degrading peroxidase, is generally preferred for the biological pretreatment of biomass. However, exploring the role and performance of MnP in LCB conversion will promote the application of MnP for lignocellulose-based biorefineries. RESULTS In this study, we explored the ability of an MnP from Moniliophthora roreri, MrMnP, in LCB degradation. With Mn2+ and H2O2, MrMnP decomposed 5.0 g/L carboxymethyl cellulose to 0.14 mM of reducing sugar with a conversion yield of 5.0 mg/g, including 40 μM cellobiose, 70 μM cellotriose, 20 μM cellotetraose, and 10 μM cellohexaose, and degraded 1.0 g/L mannohexaose to 0.33 μM mannose, 4.08 μM mannotriose, and 4.35 μM mannopentaose. Meanwhile, MrMnP decomposed 5.0 g/L lichenan to 0.85 mM of reducing sugar with a conversion yield of 30.6 mg/g, including 10 μM cellotriose, 20 μM cellotetraose, and 80 μM cellohexose independently of Mn2+ and H2O2. Moreover, the versatility of MrMnP in LCB deconstruction was further verified by decomposing locust bean gum and wheat bran into reducing sugars with a conversion yield of 54.4 mg/g and 29.5 mg/g, respectively, including oligosaccharides such as di- and tri-saccharides. The catalytic mechanism underlying MrMnP degraded lignocellulose was proposed as that with H2O2, MrMnP oxidizes Mn2+ to Mn3+. Subsequently, it forms a complex with malonate, facilitating the degradation of CMC and mannohexaose into reducing sugars. Without H2O2, MrMnP directly oxidizes malonate to hydroperoxyl acetic acid radical to form compound I, which then attacks the glucosidic bond of lichenan. CONCLUSION This study identified a new function of MrMnP in the hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose, suggesting that MrMnP exhibits its versatility in the pretreatment and saccharification of LCB. The results will lead to an in-depth understanding of biocatalytic saccharification and contribute to forming new enzymatic systems for using lignocellulose resources to produce sustainable and economically viable products and the long-term development of biorefinery, thereby increasing the productivity of LCB as a green resource.

Abstract
To achieve cost-effective production of lignocellulolytic enzymes for biorefinery processes, engineering transcription factors represents a powerful strategy to boost cellulase and xylanase in Trichoderma reesei. In this study, a novel mutation (R434L) in xylanase regulator 1 (Xyr1) was identified based on the yeast one-hybrid screening system. The point mutation was located in the middle homology region of Xyr1 with unclear functions, indicating a significant role for this domain in tuning Xyr1 transactivation. When constitutively expressed in T. reesei Δxyr1 (OEXR434L), Xyr1R434L led to highly improved production of both cellulases and xylanases on glucose compared with a strain similarly expressing Xyr1 (OEX). The respective 0.8- and 0.7-fold increases in extracellular pNPCase and xylanolytic activity were further verified to result from the greatly elevated transcription of major cellulase and xylanase genes in OEXR434L. Moreover, the saccharification efficiency of corn stover with OEXR434L enzyme cocktails was enhanced by 21% compared with that of OEX.

Abstract
Saccharification is one of the most noteworthy processes in biomass-based biorefineries. In particular, the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase has recently emerged as an oxidative cleavage-recalcitrant polysaccharide; however, there is insufficient information regarding its application to actual biomass. Accordingly, this study focused optimizing the recombinant expression level of a bacterial lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from Thermobifida fusca (TfLPMO), which was characterized as a cellulolytic enzyme. Finally, the synergistic effect of the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase and a commercial cellulase cocktail on the saccharification of agrowaste was investigated. TfLPMO functioned on various cellulosic and hemicellulosic substrates, and the combination of TfLPMO with cellulase exhibited a synergistic effect on the saccharification of agrowastes, resulting in a 19.2% and 14.1% increase in reducing sugars from rice straw and corncob, respectively. The results discussed herein can lead to an in-depth understanding of enzymatic saccharification and suggest viable options for valorizing agrowastes as renewable feedstocks in biorefineries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of cellulase and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) is known to boost enzymatic saccharification of cellulose. Although the synergy between cellulases (GH5, 6 or 7) and LPMOs (AA9) has been extensively studied, the interplay between other glycoside hydrolase and LPMO families remains poorly understood. RESULTS In this study, two cellulolytic enzyme-encoding genes SmBglu12A and SmLpmo10A from Streptomyces megaspores were identified and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant SmBglu12A is a non-typical endo-β-1,4-glucanase that preferentially hydrolyzed β-1,3-1,4-glucans and slightly hydrolyzed β-1,4-glucans and belongs to GH12 family. The recombinant SmLpmo10A belongs to a C1-oxidizing cellulose-active LPMO that catalyzed the oxidation of phosphoric acid swollen cellulose to produce celloaldonic acids. Moreover, individual SmBglu12A and SmLpmo10A were both active on barley β-1,3-1,4-glucan, lichenan, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, phosphoric acid swollen cellulose, as well as Avicel. Furthermore, the combination of SmBglu12A and SmLpmo10A enhanced enzymatic saccharification of phosphoric acid swollen cellulose by improving the native and oxidized cello-oligosaccharides yields. CONCLUSIONS These results proved for the first time that the AA10 LPMO was able to boost the catalytic efficiency of GH12 glycoside hydrolases on cellulosic substrates, providing another novel combination of glycoside hydrolase and LPMO for cellulose enzymatic saccharification.

In contrast to O2, H2O2 as the cosubstrate for lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) exhibits great advantages in industrial settings for cellulose degradation. However, H2O2-driven LPMO reactions from natural microorganisms have not been fully explored and understood. Herein, secretome analysis unraveled the H2O2-driven LPMO reaction in the efficient lignocellulose-degrading fungus Irpex lacteus, including LPMOs with different oxidative regioselectivities and various H2O2-generating oxidases. Biochemical characterization of H2O2-driven LPMO catalysis showed orders of magnitude improvement in catalytic efficiency compared to that of O2-driven LPMO catalysis for cellulose degradation. Significantly, H2O2 tolerance of LPMO catalysis in I. lacteus was an order of magnitude higher than that in other filamentous fungi. In addition, natural reductants, gallic acid, in particular, presented in lignocellulosic biomass could sufficiently maintain LPMO catalytic reactions. Moreover, the H2O2-driven LPMO catalysis exhibited synergy with canonical endoglucanases for efficient cellulose degradation. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the great application potential of the H2O2-driven LPMO catalysis for upgrading cellulase cocktails to further improve cellulose degradation efficiency.

Abstract
To reduce the high cost of (hemi)cellulase production in lignocellulose biorefining, it is important to develop strategies to enhance enzyme productivity from economic and also readily manipulatable carbon sources. In this study, an artificial transcription factor XT was designed by fusing the DNA binding domain of Xyr1 to the transactivation domain of Tmac1. When overexpressed in Trichoderma reesei QM9414 Δxyr1, the XT recombinant strain (OEXT) greatly improved (hemi)cellulase production on repressing glucose compared with QM9414 on Avicel with 1.7- and 8.2-fold increases in pNPCase and xylanase activity, respectively. Both activities were even higher (0.9- and 33.8-fold higher, respectively) than the recombinant strain similarly overexpressing Xyr1. The dramatically enhanced xylanase activities in OEXT resulted from the elevated expression of various hemicellulases in the secretome. Moreover, the enzyme cocktail from OEXT improved the saccharification efficiency toward corn stover by 60% compared with enzymes from QM9414 with equal volume loading.

Abstract
The thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora thermophila as an efficient decomposer secretes various glycoside hydrolases and auxiliary oxidation enzymes to deconstruct cellulose. However, the core enzymes critical for efficient cellulose degradation and their interactions with other cellulolytic enzymes remain unclear. Herein, the transcriptomic analysis of M. thermophila grown on Avicel exhibited that cellulases from GH5_5, GH6 and GH7, and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) from AA9 contributed to cellulose degradation. Moreover, the peptide mass fingerprinting analysis of major extracellular proteins and corresponding gene-knockout strains studies revealed that MtCel7A and MtCel5A were the core cellulolytic enzymes. Furthermore, synergistic experiments found that hydrolytic efficiencies of MtCel7A and MtCel5A were both improved by mixture C1/C4 oxidizing MtLPMO9H, but inhibited by C1 oxidizing MtLPMO9E and C4 oxidizing MtLPMO9J respectively. These results demonstrated the potential application of C1/C4 oxidizing LPMOs for future designing novel cellulolytic enzyme cocktails on the efficient conversion of cellulose into biofuels and biochemicals.
