Abstract
Biodiesel, unlike to its fossil-based homologue (diesel), is renewable. Its use contributes to greater sustainability in the energy sector, mainly by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Current biodiesel production relies on plant- and animal-related feedstocks, resulting in high final costs to the prices of those raw materials. In addition, the production of those materials competes for arable land and has provoked a heated debate involving their use food vs. fuel. As an alternative, single-cell oils (SCOs) obtained from oleaginous microorganisms are attractive sources as a biofuel precursor due to their high lipid content, and composition similar to vegetable oils and animal fats. To make SCOs competitive from an economic point of view, the use of readily available low-cost substrates becomes essential. This work reviews the most recent advances in microbial oil production from non-synthetic sugar-rich media, particularly sugars from lignocellulosic wastes, highlighting the main challenges and prospects for deploying this technology fully in the framework of a Biorefinery concept.

Zhang JX, Liu XL, Wang L, Fang Z. Two-stage process production of microbial lipid by co-fermentation of glucose and N-acetylglucosamine from food wastes with Cryptococcus curvatus. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 387:129685. [PMID: 37595808 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
Microbial lipids were produced through a two-stage process with Cryptococcus curvatus by co-fermenting rice and shrimp shells hydrolysates. In the first stage, biomass production of glucose and N-acetylglucosamine was optimized by response surface methodology with the maximum biomass yield (17.60 g/L) under optimum conditions (43.2 g/L mixed sugar concentration, pH 5.8, 200 rpm, and 28 °C). In the second stage, according to a single-factor optimization setting (43.2 g/L sugar mixture solutions, pH 5.5, and shift time of 36 h), lipid titer of 10.08 g/L with content of 55.30 % was achieved. Scaling up to a 5-L bioreactor increased lipid content to 60.07 % with 0.233 g/g yield. When Cryptococcus curvatus was cultured in the blends of rice hydrolysates and shrimp shells hydrolysate, lipid content and yield were 52.25 % and 0.204 g/g. The fatty acid compositions of lipid were similar to those of typical vegetable oils.

Enhanced fermentable sugar production in lignocellulosic biorefinery by exploring a novel corn stover and configuring high-solid pretreatment conditions. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 386:129498. [PMID: 37463614 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129498] [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: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to produce enhanced fermentable sugars from a novel stover system through the bioprocessing of its soluble sugars and insoluble carbohydrates. The pretreatment conditions were optimized for this high sugar-containing stover (HSS) to control inhibitor formation and obtain enhanced fermentable sugar concentrations. The optimum temperature, acid loading, and reaction time for the pretreatment were 155 °C, 0.5%, and 30 min, respectively, providing up to 97.15% sugar yield and 76.51 g/L total sugars at 10% solid-load. Sugar concentration further increased to 126.9 g/L at 20% solid-load, generating 3.89 g/L acetate, 0.92 g/L 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, 0.82 g/L furfural, and 3.75 g/L total phenolics as inhibitors. To determine the effects of soluble sugars in HSS on fermentable sugar yield and inhibitor formation, sugar-removed HSS was further studied under the optimum conditions. Although prior removal of sugars exhibited a reduction in inhibitor generation, it also decreased total fermentable sugar production to 115.45 g/L.
