Abstract
Escherichia coli uptake potassium ions with the coupling of proton efflux and energy utilization via proton FOF1-ATPase. In this study contribution of formate hydrogen lyase (FHL) complexes in the proton/potassium fluxes and the formation of proton conductance (CMH+) were investigated using fhlA mutant strain. The proton flux rate (JH+) decreased in fhlA by ∼ 25 % and ∼70 % during the utilization of glucose and glycerol, respectively, at 20 h suggesting H+ transport via or through FHL complexes. The decrease in JK+ in fhlA by ∼40 % proposed the interaction between FHL and Trk secondary transport system during mixed carbon fermentation. Moreover, the usage of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) demonstrated the mediation of FOF1-ATPase in this interaction. CMH+ was 13.4 nmol min-1 mV-1 in WT at 20 h, which decreased by 20 % in fhlA. Taken together, FHL complexes have a significant contribution to the modulation of H+/K+ fluxes and the CMH + for efficient energy transduction and regulation of the proton motive force during mixed carbon sources fermentation.

Abstract
Proton FOF1-ATPase is the key enzyme in E. coli under fermentative conditions. In this study the role of E. coli proton ATPase in the μ and formation of metabolic pathways during the fermentation of mixture of glucose, glycerol and formate using the DK8 (lacking FOF1) mutant strain was investigated. It was shown that the contribution of FOF1-ATPase in the specific growth rate was ∼45 %. Formate was not taken up in the DK8 strain during the initial hours of the growth. The utilization rates of glucose and glycerol were unchanged in DK8, however, the production of succinate, lactate and ethanol was decreased causing a reduction of the redox state up to -450 mV. Moreover, the contribution of FOF1-ATPase in the interplay between H+ and H2 cycles was described depending on the bacterial growth phase and main utilizing substrate. Besides, the H2 production rate in the DK8 strain was decreased by ∼60 % at 20 h and was absent at 72 h. Δp was decreased from -157 ± 4.8 mV to -140 ± 4.2 mV at 20 h and from -195 ± 5.9 mV to -148 ± 4.4 mV at 72 h, compared to WT. Taken together it can be concluded that during fermentation of mixed carbon sources metabolic cross talk between FOF1-ATPase-TrkA-Hyd-Fdh-H is taking place for maintaining the cell energy balance via regulation proton motive force.

Abstract
Debittering of citrus by-products is required to obtain value-added compounds for application in the food industry (e.g., dietary fiber, bioactive compounds). In this work, the immobilization of Rhodococcus fascians cells by encapsulation in Ca-alginate hollow beads and entrapment in poly(vinyl alcohol)/polyethylene glycol (PVA/PEG) cryogels was studied as an alternative to chemical treatments for degrading the bitter compound limonin. Previously, the Rhodococcus strain was adapted using orange peel extract to increase its tolerance to limonoids. The optimal conditions for the encapsulation of microbial cells were 2% Na-alginate, 4% CaCl2, 4% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and a microbial load of 0.6 OD600 (optical density at 600 nm). For immobilization by entrapment, the optimal conditions were 8% PVA, 8% PEG, and 0.6 OD600 microbial load. Immobilization by entrapment protected microbial cells better than encapsulation against the citrus medium stress conditions (acid pH and composition). Thus, under optimal immobilization conditions, limonin degradation was 32 and 28% for immobilization in PVA/PEG gels and in hollow beads, respectively, in synthetic juice (pH 3) after 72 h at 25 °C. Finally, the microbial cells entrapped in the cryogels showed a higher operational stability in orange juice than the encapsulated cells, with four consecutive cycles of reuse (runs of 24 h at 25 °C). KEY POINTS: • Increased tolerance to limonoids by adapting R. fascians with citrus by-products. • Entrapment provided cells with favorable microenvironment for debittering at acid pH. • Cryogel-immobilized cells showed the highest limonin degradation in citrus products.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Natural microbial consortia could efficiently produce 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), a most promising bulk biochemical derived from glycerol that can be used as a monomer in the synthesis of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). While natural microbial communities are made up of a diverse range of microbes with frequently unknown functions, the construction of synthetic microbial consortia allows for the creation of more defined systems with lower complexity.
Results
In this study, the synthetic microbial consortia were constructed by combining facultative microbes of Klebsiella pneumoniae DUT2 (KP) and/or Escherichia coli DUT3 (EC) cultures with the strictly anaerobic microbe of Clostridium butyricum DUT1 (CB) cultures under micro-aerobic conditions. The function of EC and KP during the fermentation process was to deplete oxygen and create an anaerobic environment for CB. Furthermore, KP competes with CB for the consumption of crude glycerol and the production of 1,3-PDO. The interaction of commensalism and competition resulted in the construction of synthetic microbial consortia capable of efficiently converting crude glycerol to 1,3-PDO even under micro-aerobic conditions. In a batch fermentation, the synthetic CB:KP co-culture at an initial abundance ratio of 92.5:7.5, yielded a maximum 1,3-PDO concentration of 52.08 g/L, with a yield of 0.49 g/g and a productivity of 1.80 g/(L.h), which increased by 10%, 9%, and 12%, respectively, when compared to the CB mono-culture under strictly anaerobic conditions. The final 1,3-PDO concentration, yield, and productivity by the synthetic CB:KP consortia increased by 16%, 19%, and 84%, respectively, when compared to the KP mono-culture. At an initial abundance ratio of 85:7.5:7.5, the synthetic CB:KP:EC co-culture achieved the highest 1,3-PDO flux of 49.17%, while 7.43%, 5.77%, 3.15% 4.24%, and 2.13% of flux was distributed to butyric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, ethanol, and succinic acid pathways. In a fed-batch fermentation, the synthetic CB:KP:EC co-culture demonstrated a maximum 1,3-PDO concentration of 77.68 g/L with a yield of 0.51 g/g which is 30% and 13% higher than the production by the CB mono-culture at 0.02 vvm (nitrogen volume/culture volume/min) N2 supply. The initial abundance of CB, which is guaranteed to be at least 85%, enables efficient 1,3-PDO production from crude glycerol via the development of synthetic microbial consortia.
Conclusion
The synthetic microbial consortia demonstrated excellent performance on 1,3-propanediol production under micro-aerobic conditions through the interaction of commensalism and competition. The experimental results demonstrated the potential benefit of using synthetic microbial consortia to produce 1,3-propanediol from crude glycerol.

Abstract
The present study aimed to optimize synthetic wastewater composition as a mixotrophic medium for enhanced growth and lipid accumulation coupled with high nitrogen removal by the green microalga Chlorella sp. Individual effects of the three main independent variables (nitrate concentration, seawater ratio, and glycerol supplementation) were tested initially, then response surface methodology (RSM) was subsequently performed to explore the optimum combined conditions. The highest lipid productivity of 37.60 mg/L day was recorded at 25% seawater. Glycerol supplementation enhanced both lipid content and biomass production, which resulted in the highest recorded lipid productivity of 42.61 mg/L day at 4 g/L glycerol. Central composite design followed by numerical optimization was further applied which suggested NaNO3 concentration at 101.5 mg/L, seawater ration of 23.8%, and glycerol supplementation of 0.25 g/L as the optimum conditions for dual maximum lipid productivity and nitrogen removal of 46.9 mg/L day and 98.0%, respectively. Under the optimized conditions, dry weight and lipid content increased by 31.9% and 20.3%, respectively, over the control, which resulted in increase in lipid productivity by 71.5%. In addition, optimization process resulted in pronounced changes in fatty acid proportions where saturated fatty acids increased by 7.4% in the optimized culture with simultaneous reduction of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The estimated biodiesel characteristics calculated from the fatty acid methyl ester (FAMEs) profile showed agreement with the international standards, while optimized cultures showed an 8.5% lower degree of unsaturation, which resulted in higher cetane numbers and lower iodine values. This study provides economical approach for optimization and efficient nutrient recycling through cultivation of Chlorella sp. for further enhanced biodiesel production.

Abstract
Bioconversion of natural microorganisms generally results in a mixture of various compounds. Downstream processing (DSP) which only targets a single product often lacks economic competitiveness due to incomplete use of raw material and high cost of waste treatment for by-products. Here, we show with the efficient microbial conversion of crude glycerol by an artificially evolved strain and how a catalytic conversion strategy can improve the total products yield and process economy of the DSP. Specifically, Clostridium pasteurianum was first adapted to increased concentration of crude glycerol in a novel automatic laboratory evolution system. At m3 scale bioreactor the strain achieved a simultaneous production of 1,3-propanediol (PDO), acetic and butyric acids at 81.21, 18.72 and 11.09 g/L within only 19 h, respectively, representing the most efficient fermentation of crude glycerol to targeted products. A heterogeneous catalytic step was developed and integrated into the DSP process to obtain high-value methyl esters from acetic and butyric acids at high yields. The co-production of the esters also greatly simplified the recovery of PDO. For example, a cosmetic grade PDO (96% PDO) was easily obtained by a simple single-stage distillation process (with an overall yield more than 77%). This integrated approach provides an industrially attractive route for the simultaneous production of three appealing products from the crude glycerol fermentation broth, which greatly improve the process economy and ecology.

Abstract
Obligate methanotrophic bacteria can utilize methane, an inexpensive carbon feedstock, as a sole energy and carbon substrate, thus are considered as the only nature-provided biocatalyst for sustainable biomanufacturing of fuels and chemicals from methane. To address the limitation of native C1 metabolism of obligate type I methanotrophs, we proposed a novel platform strain that can utilize methane and multi-carbon substrates, such as glycerol, simultaneously to boost growth rates and chemical production in Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z. To demonstrate the uses of this concept, we reconstructed a 2,3-butanediol biosynthetic pathway and achieved a fourfold higher titer of 2,3-butanediol production by co-utilizing methane and glycerol compared with that of methanotrophic growth. In addition, we reported the creation of a methanotrophic biocatalyst for one-step bioconversion of methane to methanol in which glycerol was used for cell growth, and methane was mainly used for methanol production. After the deletion of genes encoding methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), 11.6 mM methanol was obtained after 72 h using living cells in the absence of any chemical inhibitors of MDH and exogenous NADH source. A further improvement of this bioconversion was attained by using resting cells with a significantly increased titre of 76 mM methanol after 3.5 h with the supply of 40 mM formate. The work presented here provides a novel framework for a variety of approaches in methane-based biomanufacturing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oscillation is a special cell behavior in microorganisms during continuous fermentation, which poses threats to the output stability for industrial productions of biofuels and biochemicals. In previous study, a spontaneous oscillatory behavior was observed in Clostridium butyricum-intensive microbial consortium in continuous fermentation for 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) production from glycerol, which led to the discovery of oscillation in species C. butyricum. RESULTS Spontaneous oscillations by C. butyricum tended to occur under glycerol-limited conditions at low dilution rates. At a glycerol feed concentration of 88 g/L and a dilution rate of 0.048 h-1, the oscillatory behavior of C. butyricum was observed after continuous operation for 146 h and was sustained for over 450 h with an average oscillation period of 51 h. During oscillations, microbial glycerol metabolism exhibited dramatic periodic changes, in which productions of lactate, formate and hydrogen significantly lagged behind that of other products including biomass, 1,3-PDO and butyrate. Analysis of extracellular oxidation-reduction potential and intracellular ratio of NAD+/NADH indicated that microbial cells experienced distinct redox changes during oscillations, from oxidized to reduced state with decreasing of growth rate. Meanwhile, C. butyricum S3 exhibited periodic morphological changes during oscillations, with aggregates, elongated shape, spores or cell debris at the trough of biomass production. Transcriptome analysis indicated that expression levels of multiple genes were up-regulated when microbial cells were undergoing stress, including that for pyruvate metabolism, conversion of acetyl-CoA to acetaldehyde as well as stress response. CONCLUSION This study for the first time systematically investigated the oscillatory behavior of C. butyricum in aspect of occurrence condition, metabolism, morphology and transcriptome. Based on the experimental results, two hypotheses were put forward to explain the oscillatory behavior: disorder of pyruvate metabolism, and excessive accumulation of acetaldehyde.

Abstract
With the aggravation of environmental pollution and energy crisis, the sustainable microbial fermentation process of converting glycerol to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) has become an attractive alternative. However, the difficulty in the online measurement of glycerol and 1,3-PDO creates a barrier to the fermentation process and then leads to the residual glycerol and therefore, its wastage. Thus, in the present study, the four-input artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed successfully to predict the concentration of glycerol, 1,3-PDO, and biomass with high accuracy. Moreover, an ANN model combined with a kinetic model was also successfully developed to simulate the fed-batch fermentation process accurately. Hence, a soft sensor from the ANN model based on NaOH-related parameters has been successfully developed which cannot only be applied in software to solve the difficulty of glycerol and 1,3-PDO online measurement during the industrialization process, but also offer insight and reference for similar fermentation processes.

Abstract
Cupriavidus necator H16 is a non-pathogenic Gram-negative betaproteobacterium that can utilize a broad range of renewable heterotrophic resources to produce chemicals ranging from polyhydroxybutyrate (biopolymer) to alcohols, alkanes, and alkenes. However, C. necator H16 utilizes carbon sources to different efficiency, for example its growth in glycerol is 11.4 times slower than a favorable substrate like gluconate. This work used adaptive laboratory evolution to enhance the glycerol assimilation in C. necator H16 and identified a variant (v6C6) that can co-utilize gluconate and glycerol. The v6C6 variant has a specific growth rate in glycerol 9.5 times faster than the wild-type strain and grows faster in mixed gluconate-glycerol carbon sources compared to gluconate alone. It also accumulated more PHB when cultivated in glycerol medium compared to gluconate medium while the inverse is true for the wild-type strain. Through genome sequencing and expression studies, glycerol kinase was identified as the key enzyme for its improved glycerol utilization. The superior performance of v6C6 in assimilating pure glycerol was extended to crude glycerol (sweetwater) from an industrial fat splitting process. These results highlight the robustness of adaptive laboratory evolution for strain engineering and the versatility and potential of C. necator H16 for industrial waste glycerol valorization.

Abstract
The antibacterial activity of garlic (Allium sativum) is believed to be due to its organosulfur compounds, which can supposedly be used further in biomedical applications. This paper reported the use of electrospinning to encapsulate a garlic extract and glycerine in nanofibrous mats. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and cellulose acetate (CA) were the building blocks of the composite fibres that served as the hydrophilic matrix to encapsulate the garlic extract with glycerine added mainly to improve the mechanical characteristics of the composite fibres. The combinations of the fibres were PVP/CA, PVP/CA/garlic, PVP/CA/glycerine, and PVP/CA/glycerine/garlic. The characterizations included the morphology, chemical interaction, swelling degree, weight loss, acidity level, wettability, in vitro antibacterial test, and release behaviour test. The composite nanofibrous mats were uniform, bead-free with a size ranging from 350 nm to 900 nm. The Fourier-transform infrared spectra proved the presence of the garlic extract and glycerine in the fibres. The swelling degree test showed that the fibrous mats generally did have maximum swelling degrees above 100% except for the PVP/CA fibrous mat, whose maximum value was not achieved within 48 hours. The fibrous mat with glycerine showed generally larger weight loss compared to the fibrous mats without glycerine. The result of the contact angle measurement proved that the composite fibres are all hydrophilic with the PVP/CA/glycerine/garlic fibres being the least hydrophilic. The pH level of the fibre mats was from 3.7 to 4.0 due to the use of acetic acid. The Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength of the mats were significantly reduced due to the presence of glycerine. The encapsulation of the garlic extract in the fibres did not eliminate the antibacterial activity of the garlic extract, as proven in the in vitro antibacterial test. The release of the garlic extract from the composite PVP/CA/glycerine/garlic fibres was found to be the largest due to the large diameter of the fibres, while the blend of PVP with CA successfully reduced the rate of release due to the insolubility of CA. We successfully encapsulated the garlic extract and glycerine in the PVP/CA nanofibrous mats with antibacterial activity.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the random mutagenesis of Clostridium butyricum strain. A high 1,3-PD tolerant mutant strain, designated as C. butyricum YP855, was developed from the wild strain C. butyricum XYB11, using combined chemical (NTG, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine,) and plasma-based mutagenesis (ARTP, atmospheric and room temperature plasma). The YP855 showed a maximum tolerance of 85 g/L to 1,3-PD (up to 30.8% increase) when compared with the tolerance exhibited by the wild strain. Under the optimum conditions as established by the response surface methodology (RSM), the mutant strain produced 37.20 g/L of 1,3-PD, which is 29.48% higher than the concentration obtained from the wild strain (28.73 g/L). This research would offer information for further development of the biosynthesis of 1,3-PD by the mutant strain of C. butyricum.

Abstract
Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the possibility of simultaneous biosynthesis of lipids and carotenoids by the Rhodotorula yeast strains in media with waste glycerol and deproteinized potato wastewater and to determine the level of pollution reduction by media. On the basis of results obtained during the yeast microcultures in the Bioscreen C system, it was found that potato wastewater and glycerol can be used as components of media for Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and Rhodotorula gracilis yeast strains. The amount of glycerol added to media higher than 10% significantly decreased the growth rate of yeast. The results of yeast culture in the laboratory shaker flasks showed a possibility of simultaneous production of lipids and carotenoids by R. glutinis, R. mucilaginosa, and R. gracilis yeast strains during cultivation in media containing only waste glycerol and deproteinized potato wastewater. A higher intracellular lipid content (approximately 15 g/100 gd.w.) was obtained for R. mucilaginosa and R. gracilis yeast biomass after cultivation in experimental media with waste glycerol and potato wastewater. In conclusion, the yeast grown in media with potato wastewater supplemented with 3% or 5% glycerol synthesized carotenoids, and their content in biomass did not exceed 230 μg/gd.w.

Abstract
In this study, a newly strain named Clostridium butyricum YJH-09 were isolated from the sample of pond soil and identified through physiological, biochemical and 16S rDNA analysis. Then, the dhaT gene encoding a novel 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase (PDOR) was cloned from this strain and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Subsequently, the recombinant PDOR was purified and the optimal pH and temperature, specific activities and kinetic parameter were investigated. Furthermore, the whole cells of Clostridium butyricum YJH-09 mixed with BL21-dhaT were used to produce 1,3-PD through co-biotransformation. As results, 25.88g/L of 1,3-PD was generated with 0.54g/g yield from 50g/L glycerol in 30h, and the 1,3-PD production was increased more than 2-fold compared with wild type strain alone. This research would offer useful information for further development of the biosynthesis of 1,3-PD.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate was evaluated as a replacement for the base during the fermentation of glycerol by a highly productive strain of 1,3-propanediol (PDO), viz., Clostridium butyricum JKT37. Due to its high specific growth rate (µmax=0.53h-1), 40g/L of glycerol was completely converted into 19.6g/L of PDO in merely 7h of batch fermentation, leaving only acetate and butyrate as the by-products. The accumulation of these volatile fatty acids was circumvented with the addition of calcium carbonate as the pH neutraliser before the fermentation was inoculated. An optimal amount of 15g/L of calcium carbonate was statistically determined from screening with various glycerol concentrations (20-120g/L). By substituting potassium hydroxide with calcium carbonate as the pH neutraliser for fermentation in a bioreactor, a similar yield (YPDO/glycerol=0.6mol/mol) with a constant pH was achieved at the end of the fermentation.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to estimate the production of hydrogen, organic acids and alcohols by the strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 using residual glycerol as a carbon source. The experiments were carried out in pure and mixed cultures in batch experiments. Three different sources of inocula for mixed culture were used. Ruminal liquid from goats and sludge collected from two upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors treating municipal wastewater and brewery effluent were tested for hydrogen, organic acids and alcohols production with or without C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824. The main detected end-products from the glycerol fermentation were hydrogen, organic acids (acetic, propionic, butyric and caproic) and alcohol (ethanol and 1,3-propanediol - 1,3PD). High hydrogen (0.44 mol H2/mol glycerol consumed) and 1,3PD (0.32 mol 1,3PD/mol glycerol consumed) yields were obtained when the strain C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was bioaugmented into the sludge from municipal wastewater using 5 g/L of glycerol. Significant concentrations of n-caproic acid were detected in the ruminal liquid when amended with C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824. The results suggest that glycerol can be used for the generation of H2, 1,3PD and n-caproic acid using C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 as agent in pure or mixed cultures.

Abstract
Production of carotenoids by Rhodococcus opacus PD630 is reported. A modified mineral salt medium formulated with glycerol as an inexpensive carbon source was used for the fermentation. Ammonium acetate was the nitrogen source. A dry cell mass concentration of nearly 5.4 g/L could be produced in shake flasks with a carotenoid concentration of 0.54 mg/L. In batch culture in a 5 L bioreactor, without pH control, the maximum dry biomass concentration was ~30 % lower than in shake flasks and the carotenoids concentration was 0.09 mg/L. Both the biomass concentration and the carotenoids concentration could be raised using a fed-batch operation with a feed mixture of ammonium acetate and acetic acid. With this strategy, the final biomass concentration was 8.2 g/L and the carotenoids concentration was 0.20 mg/L in a 10-day fermentation. A control of pH proved to be unnecessary for maximizing the production of carotenoids in this fermentation.

Abstract
1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) production from crude glycerol, a byproduct from biodiesel manufacturing, by Clostridium beijerinckii DSM 791 was studied with corn steep liquor as an inexpensive nitrogen source replacing yeast extract in the fermentation medium. A stable, long-term 1,3-PDO production from glycerol was demonstrated with cells immobilized in a fibrous bed bioreactor operated in a repeated batch mode, which partially circumvented the 1,3-PDO inhibition problem. The strain was then engineered to overexpress Escherichia coli gldA encoding glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH) and dhaKLM encoding dihydroxyacetone kinase (DHAK), which increased 1,3-PDO productivity by 26.8-37.5% compared to the wild type, because of greatly increased specific growth rate (0.25-0.40h(-1) vs. 0.13-0.20h(-1) for the wild type). The engineered strain gave a high 1,3-PDO titer (26.1g/L), yield (0.55g/g) and productivity (0.99g/L·h) in fed-batch fermentation. Overexpressing GDH and DHAK was thus effective in increasing 1,3-PDO production from glycerol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycerol is currently an over-produced chemical that can be used as substrate for the production of high value products such as 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) in fermentation processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of initial pH on a batch mixed culture fermentation of glycerol, considering both the bacterial community composition and the fermentation patterns. RESULTS For pH values between 5 and 9, 1,3-PDO production yields ranged from 0.52 ± 0.01 to 0.64 ± 0.00 [Formula: see text], with the highest values obtained at pH 7 and 8. An Enterobacteriaceae member closely related to Citrobacter freundii was strongly enriched at all pH values. Within the less dominant bacterial species, two different microbial community structures were found, one at acid pH values and another at neutral to basic pH values. CONCLUSIONS 1,3-PDO production was improved at pH values over 7. It was anti-correlated with lactate and ethanol production but positively correlated with acetate production. No direct correlation between 1,3-PDO production and a specific family of bacteria was found, suggesting functional redundancies in the microbial community. However, 1,3-PDO production yield remained high over the range of pH studied and was comparable to the best obtained in the same conditions in the literature.
