Abstract
We present an electrochemical platform designed to reduce time of Escherichia coli bacteria detection from 24 to 48-h to 30 min. The presented approach is based on a system which includes gallium-indium (eGaIn) alloy to provide conductivity and a hydrogel system to preserve bacteria and their metabolic species during the analysis. The work is dedicated to accurate and fast detection of Escherichia coli bacteria in different environments with the supply of machine learning methods. Electrochemical data obtained during the analysis is processed via multilayer perceptron model to identify i.e. predict bacterial concentration in the samples. The performed approach provides the effectiveness of bacteria identification in the range of 102-109 colony forming units per ml with the average accuracy of 97%. The proposed bioelectrochemical system combined with machine learning model is prospective for food analysis, agriculture, biomedicine.

Abstract
In vitro ketone production continues to be a challenge due to the biochemical features of the enzymes involved-even when some of them have been extensively characterized (e.g. thiolase from Clostridium acetobutylicum), the assembly of synthetic enzyme cascades still face significant limitations (including issues with protein aggregation and multimerization). Here, we designed and assembled a self-sustaining enzyme cascade with acetone yields close to the theoretical maximum using acetate as the only carbon input. The efficiency of this system was further boosted by coupling the enzymatic sequence to a two-step ATP-regeneration system that enables continuous, cost-effective acetone biosynthesis. Furthermore, simple methods were implemented for purifying the enzymes necessary for this synthetic metabolism, including a first-case example on the isolation of a heterotetrameric acetate:coenzyme A transferase by affinity chromatography.

Abstract
A considerable portion of fossil CO2 emissions comes from the energy sector for production of heat and electricity. The industrial sector has the second order in emission in which the main parts are released from energy-intensive industries, namely metallurgy, building materials, chemicals, and manufacturing. The decarbonization of industrial wastes contemplates the classic decarbonization through optimization of conventional processes as well as utilization of renewable energy and resources. The upgrading of existing processes and integration of the methodologies with a focus on efficiency improvement and reduction of energy consumption and the environment is the main focus of this review. The implementation of renewable energy and feedstocks, green electrification, energy conversion methodologies, carbon capture, and utilization, and storage are also covered. The main objectives of this review are towards chemical industries by introducing the potential technology enhancement at different subsectors. For this purpose, state-of-the-art roadmaps and pathways from the literature findings are presented. Both common and innovative renewable attempts are needed to reach out both short- and long-term deep decarbonization targets. Even though all of the innovative solutions are not economically viable at the industrial scale, they play a crucial role during and after the energy transition interval.

Abstract
Carbon sources represent the most dominant cost factor in the industrial biomanufacturing of products. Thus, it has attracted much attention to seek cheap and renewable feedstocks, such as lignocellulose, crude glycerol, methanol, and carbon dioxide, for biosynthesis of value-added compounds. Co-utilization of these carbon sources by microorganisms not only can reduce the production cost but also serves as a promising approach to improve the carbon yield. However, co-utilization of mixed carbon sources usually suffers from a low utilization rate. In the past few years, the development of metabolic engineering strategies to enhance carbon source co-utilization efficiency by inactivation of carbon catabolite repression has made significant progress. In this article, we provide informative and comprehensive insights into the co-utilization of two or more carbon sources including glucose, xylose, arabinose, glycerol, and C1 compounds, and we put our focus on parallel utilization, synergetic utilization, and complementary utilization of different carbon sources. Our goal is not only to summarize strategies of co-utilization of carbon sources, but also to discuss how to improve the carbon yield and the titer of target products.

Valorisation of xylose to renewable fuels and chemicals, an essential step in augmenting the commercial viability of lignocellulosic biorefineries. SUSTAINABLE ENERGY & FUELS 2021; 6:29-65. [PMID: 35028420 PMCID: PMC8691124 DOI: 10.1039/d1se00927c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Biologists and engineers are making tremendous efforts in contributing to a sustainable and green society. To that end, there is growing interest in waste management and valorisation. Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is the most abundant material on the earth and an inevitable waste predominantly originating from agricultural residues, forest biomass and municipal solid waste streams. LCB serves as the renewable feedstock for clean and sustainable processes and products with low carbon emission. Cellulose and hemicellulose constitute the polymeric structure of LCB, which on depolymerisation liberates oligomeric or monomeric glucose and xylose, respectively. The preferential utilization of glucose and/or absence of the xylose metabolic pathway in microbial systems cause xylose valorization to be alienated and abandoned, a major bottleneck in the commercial viability of LCB-based biorefineries. Xylose is the second most abundant sugar in LCB, but a non-conventional industrial substrate unlike glucose. The current review seeks to summarize the recent developments in the biological conversion of xylose into a myriad of sustainable products and associated challenges. The review discusses the microbiology, genetics, and biochemistry of xylose metabolism with hurdles requiring debottlenecking for efficient xylose assimilation. It further describes the product formation by microbial cell factories which can assimilate xylose naturally and rewiring of metabolic networks to ameliorate xylose-based bioproduction in native as well as non-native strains. The review also includes a case study that provides an argument on a suitable pathway for optimal cell growth and succinic acid (SA) production from xylose through elementary flux mode analysis. Finally, a product portfolio from xylose bioconversion has been evaluated along with significant developments made through enzyme, metabolic and process engineering approaches, to maximize the product titers and yield, eventually empowering LCB-based biorefineries. Towards the end, the review is wrapped up with current challenges, concluding remarks, and prospects with an argument for intense future research into xylose-based biorefineries.

Abstract
Due to its simple, less by-product and environment friendly properties, enzymatic transesterification of oil with short-chain alcohol to biodiesel, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) is considered to be a promising way of green production and has attracted much attention. In this study, FAMEs were synthesized by an enzymatic method with recombinant lipase as catalysts. A thermophilic Bacillus thermocatenulatus lipase 2 (BTL2) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) through relative and quantitative analysis using real-time quantitative PCR. The results suggested that the BTL2 gene was overexpressed in E. coli at the mRNA level, and the recombinant strain harboring a high-copy number vectors was selected and applied to fermentation to produce BTL2 with enzyme activity of 35.54 U/mg cells. The recombinant BTL2 solution exhibited excellent resistance to neutral pH, high temperature, and organic solvents after a certain treatment. Finally, the effects of enzymatic transesterification for preparing biodiesel were studied, using rapeseed oil as raw material, as well as BTL2 solution as catalysts, which resulted in 86.04% yield of FAMEs under 50°C for 36 h. The liquid BTL2 was directly used to prepare FAMEs at a higher temperature efficiently, making the thermophilic BTL2 had the potential application value in biodiesel reproduction subsequently.

Abstract
Butanol is an important chemical and potential fuel. For more than 100 years, acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation of Clostridium strains has been the most successful process for biological butanol production. In recent years, other microbes have been engineered to produce butanol as well, among which Escherichia coli was the best one. Considering the crude oil price fluctuation, minimizing the cost of butanol production is of highest priority for its industrial application. Therefore, using cheaper feedstocks instead of pure sugars is an important project. In this review, we summarized butanol production from different renewable resources, such as industrial and food waste, lignocellulosic biomass, syngas and other renewable resources. This review will present the current progress in this field and provide insights for further engineering efforts on renewable butanol production.

Abstract
A promising keratin-degrading strain from the genus Chryseobacterium (Chryseobacterium sp. KMC2) was investigated using comparative genomic tools against three publicly available reference genomes to reveal the keratinolytic potential for biosynthesis of valuable secondary metabolites. Genomic features and metabolic potential of four species were compared, showing genomic differences but similar functional categories. Eleven different secondary metabolite gene clusters of interest were mined from the four genomes successfully, including five common ones shared across all genomes. Among the common metabolites, we identified gene clusters involved in biosynthesis of flexirubin-type pigment, microviridin, and siderophore, showing remarkable conservation across the four genomes. Unique secondary metabolite gene clusters were also discovered, for example, ladderane from Chryseobacterium sp. KMC2. Additionally, this study provides a more comprehensive understanding of the potential metabolic pathways of keratin utilization in Chryseobacterium sp. KMC2, with the involvement of amino acid metabolism, TCA cycle, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, propanoate metabolism, and sulfate reduction. This work uncovers the biosynthesis of secondary metabolite gene clusters from four keratinolytic Chryseobacterium species and shades lights on the keratinolytic potential of Chryseobacterium sp. KMC2 from a genome-mining perspective, can provide alternatives to valorize keratinous materials into high-value bioactive natural products.

Abstract
Covering: up to the end of 2020Organic acids, as building block compounds, have been widely used in food, pharmaceutical, plastic, and chemical industries. Until now, chemical synthesis is still the primary method for industrial-scale organic acid production. However, this process encounters some inevitable challenges, such as depletable petroleum resources, harsh reaction conditions and complex downstream processes. To solve these problems, microbial cell factories provide a promising approach for achieving the sustainable production of organic acids. However, some key metabolites in central carbon metabolism are strictly regulated by the network of cellular metabolism, resulting in the low productivity of organic acids. Thus, multiple metabolic engineering strategies have been developed to reprogram microbial cell factories to produce organic acids, including monocarboxylic acids, hydroxy carboxylic acids, amino carboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acids and monomeric units for polymers. These strategies mainly center on improving the catalytic efficiency of the enzymes to increase the conversion rate, balancing the multi-gene biosynthetic pathways to reduce the byproduct formation, strengthening the metabolic flux to promote the product biosynthesis, optimizing the metabolic network to adapt the environmental conditions and enhancing substrate utilization to broaden the substrate spectrum. Here, we describe the recent advances in producing C2-C6 organic acids by metabolic engineering strategies. In addition, we provide new insights as to when, what and how these strategies should be taken. Future challenges are also discussed in further advancing microbial engineering and establishing efficient biorefineries.

Abstract
Environmental issues have prompted the vigorous development of biorefineries that use agricultural waste and other biomass feedstock as raw materials. However, most current biorefinery products are cellulosic ethanol. There is an urgent need for biorefineries to expand into new bioproducts. Isobutanol is an important bulk chemical with properties that are close to gasoline, making it a very promising biofuel. The use of microorganisms to produce isobutanol has been extensively studied, but there is still a considerable gap to achieving the industrial production of isobutanol from biomass. This review summarizes current metabolic engineering strategies that have been applied to biomass isobutanol production and recent advances in the production of isobutanol from different biomass feedstocks.

Abstract
Industrial bioreactors use microbial organisms as living factories to produce a wide range of commercial products. For most applications, yields eventually become limited by the proliferation of "escape mutants" that acquire a growth advantage by losing the ability to make product. The goal of this work is to use mathematical models to determine whether this problem could be addressed in continuous flow bioreactors that include a "stem cell" population that multiplies rapidly and could be used to compete against the emergence of cheater mutants. In this system, external stimuli can be used to induce stem cell multiplication through symmetric cell division, or to limit stem cell multiplication and induce higher production through an asymmetric cell division that produces one stem cell and one new product-producing "factory cell". Our results show product yields from bioreactors with microbial stem cells can be increased by 18% to 127% over conventional methods, and sensitivity analysis shows that yields could be improved over a broad range of parameter space.

Abstract
The well-designed microbial cell factory finds wide applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries due to its sustainable and environmentally friendly features. Recently, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) systems have been developed into powerful tools to perform genome editing and transcriptional regulation in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Accordingly, these tools are useful to build microbial cell factories not only by reconstructing the genome but also by reprogramming the metabolic network. In this review, we summarize the recent significant headway and potential uses of the CRISPR technology in the construction of efficient microbial cell factories. Moreover, the future perspectives on the improvement and upgradation of CRISPR-based tools are also discussed.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria can grow photoautotrophically, producing a range of substances by absorbing sunlight and utilizing carbon dioxide, and can potentially be used as industrial microbes that have minimal sugar requirements. To evaluate this potential, we explored the possibility of l-glutamate production using the Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. The ybjL gene encoding the putative l-glutamate exporter from Escherichia coli was introduced, and l-glutamate production reached 2.3 g/L in 143 h (34°C, 100 μmol m-2 s-1). Then, we attempted to produce two flavor substances, (S)-linalool, a monoterpene alcohol, and the sesquiterpene (+)-valencene. The Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 strain in which the linalool synthase gene (LINS) from Actinidia arguta (AaLINS) was expressed under control of the tac promoter (GT0846K-Ptac-AaLINS) produced 11.4 mg/L (S)-linalool in 160 h (30°C, 50 μmol m-2 s-1). The strain in which AaLINS2 and the mutated farnesyl diphosphate synthase gene ispA∗ (S80F) from E. coli (GT0846K-PpsbA2-AaLINS-ispA∗) were expressed from the PpsbA2 promoter accumulated 11.6 mg/L (S)-linalool in 160 h. Genome analysis revealed that both strains had mutations in slr1270, suggesting that loss of Slr1270 function was necessary for high linalool accumulation. For sesquiterpene production, the valencene synthase gene from Callitropsis nootkatensis and the fernesyl diphosphate synthase (ispA) gene from E. coli were introduced, and the resultant strain produced 9.6 mg/L of (+)-valencene in 166 h (30°C, 50 μmol m-2 s-1). This study highlights the production efficiency of engineered cyanobacteria, providing insight into potential industrial applications.

Abstract
Clostridium tyrobutyricum cannot utilize galactose, which is abundant in lignocellulose and red algae, as a carbon source for butyric acid production. Hence, when using galactose-rich coffee ground hydrolysate as the substrate, the fermentation performance of C. tyrobutyricum is poor. In this work, a recombinant strain, C. tyrobutyricum ATCC 25755/ketp, overexpressing galactose catabolism genes (galK, galE, galT, and galP) from Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was constructed for the co-utilization of glucose and galactose. Batch fermentation in the bioreactor showed that ATCC 25755/ketp could efficiently utilize galactose without glucose-induced carbon catabolite repression and consume nearly 100% of the galactose present in the spent coffee ground hydrolysate. Correspondingly, the butyric acid concentration and productivity of ATCC 25755/ketp reached 34.3 g/L and 0.36 g/L·h, respectively, an increase of 78.6% and 56.5% compared with the wild-type strain, indicating its potential for butyric acid production from hydrolysates of inexpensive and galactose-rich biomass.
