Sustainable biorefinery approach by utilizing xylose fraction of lignocellulosic biomass. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131290. [PMID: 38569993 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131290] [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: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) has been a lucrative feedstock for developing biochemical products due to its rich organic content, low carbon footprint and abundant accessibility. The recalcitrant nature of this feedstock is a foremost bottleneck. It needs suitable pretreatment techniques to achieve a high yield of sugar fractions such as glucose and xylose with low inhibitory components. Cellulosic sugars are commonly used for the bio-manufacturing process, and the xylose sugar, which is predominant in the hemicellulosic fraction, is rejected as most cell factories lack the five‑carbon metabolic pathways. In the present review, more emphasis was placed on the efficient pretreatment techniques developed for disintegrating LCB and enhancing xylose sugars. Further, the transformation of the xylose to value-added products through chemo-catalytic routes was highlighted. In addition, the review also recapitulates the sustainable production of biochemicals by native xylose assimilating microbes and engineering the metabolic pathway to ameliorate biomanufacturing using xylose as the sole carbon source. Overall, this review will give an edge on the bioprocessing of microbial metabolism for the efficient utilization of xylose in the LCB.

Abstract
The recent growing interest in sustainable and alternative sources of energy and bio-based products has driven the paradigm shift to an integrated model termed "biorefinery." Biorefinery framework implements the concepts of novel eco-technologies and eco-efficient processes for the sustainable production of energy and value-added biomolecules. The utilization of microbial resources for the production of various value-added products has been documented in the literatures. However, the appointment of these microbial resources in integrated resource management requires a better understanding of their status. The main of aim of this review is to provide an overview on the defined positioning and overall contribution of the microbial resources, i.e., algae, fungi and bacteria, for various bioprocesses and generation of multiple products from a single biorefinery. By utilizing waste material as a feedstock, biofuels can be generated by microalgae while sequestering environmental carbon and producing value added compounds as by-products. In parallel, fungal biorefineries are prolific producers of lignocellulose degrading enzymes along with pharmaceutically important novel products. Conversely, bacterial biorefineries emerge as a preferred platform for the transformation of standard cells into proficient bio-factories, developing chassis and turbo cells for enhanced target compound production. This comprehensive review is poised to offer an intricate exploration of the current trends, obstacles, and prospective pathways of microbial biorefineries, for the development of future biorefineries.

The Halophilic Bacterium Paracoccus haeundaensis for the Production of Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate-co-3-Hydroxyvalerate) from Single Carbon Sources. J Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 34:74-84. [PMID: 37997264 PMCID: PMC10840474 DOI: 10.4014/jmb.2305.05025] [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: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
The study objective was to evaluate the potential production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a biodegradable plastic material, by Paracoccus haeundaensis for which PHA production has never been reported. To identify the most effective nitrogen-limited culture conditions for PHAs production from this bacterium, batch fermentation using glucose concentrations ranging from 4 g l-1 to 20 g l-1 with a fixed ammonium concentration of 0.5 g l-1 was carried out at 30°C and pH 8.0. A glucose supplement of 12 g l-1 produced the highest PHA concentration (1.6 g l-1) and PHA content (0.63 g g-1) thereby identifying the optimal condition for PHA production from this bacterium. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis suggests that P. haeundaensis mostly produced copolymer types of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-3HV)] from glucose concentrations at 12 g l-1 or higher under the nitrogen-limited conditions. When several other single carbon sources were evaluated for the most efficient PHA production, fructose provided the highest biomass (2.8 g l-1), and PHAs (1.29 g l-1) concentrations. Results indicated that this bacterium mostly produced the copolymers P(3HB-co-3HV) from single carbon sources composing a range of 93-98% of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 2-7% of 3-hydroxyvalerate, whereas mannose-supplemented conditions produced the only homopolymer type of P(3HB). However, when propionic acid as a secondary carbon source were supplemented into the media, P. haeundaensis produced the copolymer P(3HB-co-3HV), composed of a 50% maximum monomeric unit of 3-hydroxyvaleric acid (3HV). However, as the concentration of propionic acid increased, cell biomass and PHAs concentrations substantially decreased due to cell toxicity.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable polymers with immense potential in addressing the global plastic pollution crisis and advancing sustainable bioplastics production. Among the various microbes known for PHA production, extremophilic bacteria possess unique capabilities to thrive under extreme conditions, making them attractive candidates for PHA synthesis. Furthermore, the utilization of renewable feedstocks for PHA production aligns with the growing demand for sustainable bioplastic alternatives. A diverse range of extremophilic bacteria, especially halophiles and thermophiles, has provided cost-competitive platforms for producing customized PHA polymers. Extremophilic bacteria offer unique advantages over mesophiles due to their contamination resistance, high cell density growth, and unique culture conditions. The current status of Halomonas spp. as a chassis further allows exploration of metabolic engineering approaches to overcome the challenges associated with current industrial biotechnology. This article especially focuses on extremophilic bacteria and explores recent advances in utilizing renewable feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass, agro-industrial residues, and waste streams for PHA production. The integration of biorefinery concepts and circular economy principles in PHA manufacturing is also examined. This review is an attempt to provide an understanding of renewable substrates as feedstocks and emerging trends in PHA production by extremophilic bacteria. It underscores the pivotal role of extremophiles and sustainable feedstock sources in advancing the feasibility and eco-friendliness of PHAs as a promising biopolymer alternative.

Abstract
A novel moderately halophilic bacterial strain, designated Z330T, was isolated from the egg of a marine invertebrate of the genus Onchidium collected in the South China Sea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain Z330T exhibited the highest similarity value to that of the type strain Paracoccus fistulariae KCTC 22803T (97.6%), Paracoccus seriniphilus NBRC 100798T (97.6%) and Paracoccus aestuarii DSM 19484T (97.6%). Phylogenomic and 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis showed that strain Z330T was most closely related to P. seriniphilus NBRC 100798T and P. fistulariae KCTC 22803T. Strain Z330T grew optimally at 28-30 °C, pH 7.0-8.0 with the presence of 5.0-7.0% (w/v) NaCl. In addition, growth of strain Z330T occurred at 0.5-16% NaCl, indicated strain Z330T was a moderately halophilic and halotolerant bacterium of genus Paracoccus. The predominant respiratory quinone in strain Z330T was identified as ubiquinone-10. The major polar lipids of strain Z330T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, glycolipid and six unidentified polar lipids. The major fatty acids of strain Z330T was summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω6c and/or C18:1 ω7c). The draft genome sequence of strain Z330T includes 4,084,570 bp in total (N50 = 174,985 bp) with a medium read coverage of 463.6 × and 83 scaffolds. The DNA G + C content of strain Z330T was 60.5%. In silico DNA-DNA hybridization with the four type strains showed 20.5, 22.3, 20.1 and 20.1% relatedness to Paracoccus fistulariae KCTC 22803T, Paracoccus seriniphilus NBRC 100798T, Paracoccus aestuarii DSM 19484T and Paracoccus denitrificans 1A10901T, respectively. And the average nucleotide identity (ANIb) values between strain Z330T and these four type strains were 76.2, 80.0, 75.8 and 73.8%, respectively, lower than the 95-96% threshold value for dividing prokaryotic species. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic, phylogenomic and chemotaxonomic properties, a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, Paracoccus onchidii sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain Z330T (= KCTC 92727T = MCCC 1K08325T).

Abstract
The use of mixed microbial cultures (MMCs) is seen as an attractive strategy for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production. In order to optimize the MMC-PHA production process, tools are required to improve our understanding of the physiological state of the PHA-storing microorganisms within the MMC. In the present study, we explored the use of flow cytometry to analyse the metabolic state and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) content of the microorganisms from an MMC-PHA production process. A sequencing batch reactor under a feast and famine regime was used to enrich an MMC with PHB-storing microorganisms. Interestingly, once the PHB-storing microorganisms are selected, the level of PHB accumulation depends largely on the metabolic state of these microorganisms and not exclusively on the consortium composition. These results demonstrate that flow cytometry is a powerful tool to help to understand the PHA storage response of an MMC-PHA production process. KEY POINTS: • Flow cytometry allows to measure PHB content and metabolic activity over time. • Microorganisms showing high PHB content also have high metabolic activity. • PHB producers with low metabolic activity show low PHB content.

Abstract
β-Elemene is the major component of a traditional Chinese medicine (Rhizoma Curcumae) for cancer treatment, and plant extraction is the major methods currently. Biosynthesis of β-elemene is a promising and attractive route due to its advantages, including environmentally friendly processes, renewable resources, and sustainable development. In this research, biosynthesis of germacrene A, direct precursor of β-elemene, in Escherichia coli was successfully performed and 11.99 mg/L germacrene A was obtained. Thereafter, a cobiosynthesis system for germacrene A and lycopene, another kind of isoprenoid, was constructed. Furthermore, the cultivation conditions were optimized. The germacrene A production was increased to the highest level reported to date, 364.26 mg/L, threefold increase to the strain with only germacrene A production. The cobiosynthesis system was suggested to promote the metabolic flux for germacrene A production. This research enabled germacrene A production in E. coli, and it highlights the promoting mechanism of the cobiosynthesis system for two chemicals which are both belonging to isoprenoids. KEY POINTS : • Co-production of germacrene A and lycopene in E. coli. • Promoting mechanism of cobiosynthesis of two isoprenoid compounds in E. coli. • Shake-flask production of germacrene A reached to the highest 364.26 mg/L in E. coli.

Abstract
Haloarchaeal carotenoids have attracted attention lately due to their potential antioxidant activity. This work studies the effect of different concentrations of carbon sources on cell growth and carotenoid production. Carotenoid extract composition was characterized by HPLC-MS. Antioxidant activity of carotenoid extracts obtained from cell cultures grown under different nutritional conditions was determined by 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), Ferric Reducing Ability Power (FRAP) and β-carotene bleaching assays. The ability of these carotenoid extracts to inhibit α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and lipase enzymes was also assessed to determine if they could be used to reduce blood glucose and lipid absorption. The maximum production of carotenoids (92.2 µg/mL) was observed combining 12.5% inorganic salts and 2.5% of glucose/starch. Antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and antilipidemic studies showed that higher carbon availability in the culture media leads to changes in the extract composition, resulting in more active haloarchaeal carotenoid extracts. Carotenoid extracts obtained from high-carbon-availability cell cultures presented higher proportions of all-trans-bacterioruberin, 5-cis-bacterioruberin, and a double isomeric bacterioruberin, whereas the presence 9-cis-bacterioruberin and 13-cis-bacterioruberin decreased. The production of haloarchaeal carotenoids can be successfully optimized by changing nutritional conditions. Furthermore, carotenoid composition can be altered by modifying carbon source concentration. These natural compounds are very promising in food and nutraceutical industries.

Pigment Production by Paracoccus spp. Strains through Submerged Fermentation of Valorized Lignocellulosic Wastes. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
Due to the increasing emphasis on the circular economy, research in recent years has focused on the feasibility of using biomass as an alternative energy source. Plant biomass is a potential substitute for countering the dependence on depleting fossil-derived energy sources and chemicals. However, in particular, lignocellulosic waste materials are complex and recalcitrant structures that require effective pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification to release the desired saccharides, which can be further fermented into a plethora of value-added products. In this context, pigment production from waste hydrolysates is a viable ecological approach to producing safe and natural colorings, which are otherwise produced via chemical synthesis and raise health concerns. The present study aims to evaluate two such abundant lignocellulosic wastes, i.e., wheat straw and pinewood sawdust as low-cost feedstocks for carotenoid production with Paracoccus strains. An alkali pretreatment approach, followed by enzymatic saccharification using an indigenous lab-isolated fungal hydrolase, was found to be effective for the release of fermentable sugars from both substrates. The fermentation of the pretreated sawdust hydrolysate by Paracoccus aminophilus CRT1 and Paracoccus kondratievae CRT2 resulted in the highest carotenoid production, 631.33 and 758.82 μg/g dry mass, respectively. Thus, the preliminary but informative research findings of the present work exhibit the potential for sustainable and economically feasible pigment production from lignocellulosic feedstocks after optimal process development on the pilot scale.

Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), as a kind of bioplastics for sustainable development, can be synthesized by various microorganisms, however, the high cost of its microbial fermentation is a challenge for its large-scale application. In this study, piperazine degrading strain, Paracoccus sp. TOH, was developed as an excellent chassis for open PHB fermentation with piperazine as controlling element. Whole-genome analysis showed that TOH possesses multi-substrate metabolic pathways to synthesize PHB. Next, TOH could achieve a maximum PHB concentration of 2.42 g L-1, representing a yield of 0.36 g-PHB g-1-glycerol when C/N ratio was set as 60:1 with 10 g L-1 glycerol as substrate. Furthermore, TOH could even synthesize 0.39 g-PHB g-1-glycerol under non-sterile conditions when piperazine was fed with a suitable rate of 1 mg L-1 h-1. 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis showed that microbial contamination could be effectively inhibited through the regulation of piperazine under non-sterile conditions and TOH dominated the microbial community with a relative abundance of 72.3% at the end of the operational period. This study offers an inspired open PHB fermentation system with piperazine as the control switch, which will realize the goal of efficient industrial biotechnology as well as industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Enhanced co-production of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) and extracellular phenazines was assessed through a high cell density cultivation of Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca (DSM 19603) in a membrane bioreactor using crude glycerol as a fermentative substrate. A maximum dry cell weight (DCW) of 59.25 ± 0.31 g/L was achieved at 90 h of cultivation with a maximum mcl-PHA and extracellular phenazines concentrations of respectively 19.05 ± 0.04 g/L (32.16% of DCW) and 79.42 ± 0.35 mg/L. mcl-PHA concentration achieved through cell retention culture was 28.43-folds higher than that obtained by batch culture. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analysis identified the produced PHA as a mcl-PHA copolymer of 3-hydroxyhexanoate (0.68%), 3-hydroxyoctanoate (7.76%), 3-hydroxydecanoate (49.18%), 3-hydroxydodecanoate (4.89%), and 3-hydroxytetradecanoate (37.50%). The mcl-PHA exhibited a highly amorphous structure with low crystallinity index (4.19%) and high thermal stability. This is the first report on the enhanced co-production of mcl-PHA and phenazines in a membrane bioreactor.

Abstract
High cell density cultivation is a promising approach to reduce capital and operating costs of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production. To achieve high cell concentration, it is necessary that the cultivation conditions are adjusted and controlled to support the best growth of the PHB producer. In the present study, carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio of a sugarcane juice (SJ)-based medium, initial sugar concentration, and dissolved oxygen (DO) set point, were optimized for batch cultivation of Paracoccus sp. KKU01. A maximum biomass concentration of 55.5 g/L was attained using the C/N ratio of 10, initial sugar concentration of 100 g/L, and 20% DO set point. Fed-batch cultivation conducted under these optimum conditions, with two feedings of SJ-based medium, gave the final cell concentration of 87.9 g/L, with a PHB content, concentration, and yield of 36.2%, 32.1 g/L, and 0.13 g/g-sugar, respectively. A medium-based economic analysis showed that the economic yield of PHB on nutrients was 0.14. These results reveal the possibility of using SJ for high cell density cultivation of Paracoccus sp. KKU01 for PHB production. However, further optimization of the process is necessary to make it more efficient and cost-effective.

Abstract
The genus Paracoccus represents a taxonomically diverse group comprising more than 80 novel species isolated from various pristine and polluted environments. The species are characterized as coccoid shaped Gram-negative bacteria with versatile metabolic attributes and classified as autotrophs, heterotrophs and/or methylotrophs. Present study highlights the up-to-date global taxonomic diversity and critically discusses the significance of genome analysis for identifying the genomic determinants related to functional attributes mainly bioplastic synthesis and biodegradation potential that makes these isolates commercially viable. The analysis accentuates polyphasic and genomic attributes of Paracoccus spp. which could be harnessed for commercial applications and emphasizes the need of integrating genome based computational analysis for evolutionary species and functional diversification. The work reflects on the underexplored genetic potential for bioplastic synthesis which can be harnessed using advanced genomic methods. It also underlines the degradation potential and possible use of naturally-occurring pollutant-degrading Paracoccus isolates for development of biodegradation system and efficient removal of contaminants. The work contemplates plausible use of such potent isolates to establish the plant-microbe interaction, contributing towards contaminated land reclamation. Overall; the work signifies need and application of genome analysis to identify and explore prospective potential of Paracoccus spp. for environmental application towards achieving sustainability.

There are a large number of active cold-adapted microorganisms in the perennial cold environment. Due to their high-efficiency and energy-saving catalytic properties, cold-adapted microorganisms have become valuable natural resources with potential in various biological fields. In this study, a series of cold response strategies for microorganisms were summarized. This mainly involves the regulation of cell membrane fluidity, synthesis of cold adaptation proteins, regulators and metabolic changes, energy supply, and reactive oxygen species. Also, the potential of biocatalysts produced by cold-adapted microorganisms including cold-active enzymes, ice-binding proteins, polyhydroxyalkanoates, and surfactants was introduced, which provided a guidance for expanding its application values. Overall, new insights were obtained on response strategies of microorganisms to cold environments in this review. This will deepen the understanding of the cold tolerance mechanism of cold-adapted microorganisms, thus promoting the establishment and application of low-temperature biotechnology.

Abstract
A cell retention culture of Paracoccus sp. LL1 was performed in a membrane bioreactor equipped with an internal ceramic filter module to reach high cell density and thus enhance the co-production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and astaxanthin as growth-associated products. Cell retention culture results showed that PHA accumulation increased with increasing dry cell weight (DCW), giving rise to a maximum of 113 ± 0.92 g/L of DCW with 43.9 ± 0.91 g/L of PHA (38.8% of DCW) at 48 h. A significant increase in both intracellular and extracellular astaxanthin concentrations was also recorded during fermentation process achieving a maximum of 8.51 ± 0.20 and 10.2 ± 0.24 mg/L, respectively. Amounts of PHA and total astaxanthin produced by cell retention culture were 6.29 and 19.7-folds higher, respectively, than those recorded under batch cultivation. PHA and total astaxanthin productivities by cell retention culture also increased up to 0.914 g/L/h and 0.781 mg/L/h, respectively, which were 3.54 and 11.1-folds higher than those of batch culture. Based on gas chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the extracted PHA was identified as a copolymer of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) with a 3-hydroxyvalerate content of 3.78 mol%.

Abstract
The bacterial strain isolated from soil was identified as Cupriavidus necator IBP/SFU-1 and investigated as a PHA producer. The strain was found to be able to grow and synthesize PHAs under autotrophic conditions and showed a broad organotrophic potential towards different carbon sources: sugars, glycerol, fatty acids, and plant oils. The highest cell concentrations (7–8 g/L) and PHA contents were produced from oleic acid (78%), fructose, glucose, and palm oil (over 80%). The type of the carbon source influenced the PHA chemical composition and properties: when grown on oleic acid, the strain synthesized the P(3HB-co-3HV) copolymer; on plant oils, the P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx) terpolymer, and on the other substrates, the P(3HB) homopolymer. The type of the carbon source influenced molecular-weight properties of PHAs: P(3HB) synthesized under autotrophic growth conditions, from CO2, had the highest number-average (290 ± 15 kDa) and weight-average (850 ± 25 kDa) molecular weights and the lowest polydispersity (2.9 ± 0.2); polymers synthesized from organic carbon sources showed increased polydispersity and reduced molecular weight. The carbon source was not found to affect the degree of crystallinity and thermal properties of the PHAs. The type of the carbon source determined not only PHA composition and molecular weight but also surface microstructure and porosity of the polymer films. The new strain can be recommended as a promising P(3HB) producer from palm oil, oleic acid, and sugars (fructose and glucose) and as a producer of P(3HB-co-3HV) from oleic acid and P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx) from palm oil.

Abstract
Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) produced using renewable resources could be the best alternative for conventional plastics. Despite their incredible potential, commercial production of PHAs remains very low. Nevertheless, sincere attempts have been made by researchers to improve the yield and economic viability of PHA production by utilizing low-cost agricultural or industrial wastes. In this context, the use of efficient microbial culture or consortia, adoption of experimental design to trace ideal growth conditions, nutritional requirements, and intervention of metabolic engineering tools have gained significant attention. This review has been structured to highlight the important microbial sources for PHA production, use of conventional and non-conventional substrates, product optimization using experimental design, metabolic engineering strategies, and global players in the commercialization of PHA in the past two decades. The challenges about PHA recovery and analysis have also been discussed which possess indirect hurdle while expanding the horizon of PHA-based bioplastics. Selection of appropriate microorganism and substrate plays a vital role in improving the productivity and characteristics of PHAs. Experimental design-based bioprocess, use of metabolic engineering tools, and optimal product recovery techniques are invaluable in this dimension. Optimization strategies, which are being explored in isolation, need to be logically integrated for the successful commercialization of microbial PHAs.

Abstract
Petroleum-derived plastics dominate currently used plastic materials. These plastics are derived from finite fossil carbon sources and were not designed for recycling or biodegradation. With the ever-increasing quantities of plastic wastes entering landfills and polluting our environment, there is an urgent need for fundamental change. One component to that change is developing cost-effective plastics derived from readily renewable resources that offer chemical or biological recycling and can be designed to have properties that not only allow the replacement of current plastics but also offer new application opportunities. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) remain a promising candidate for commodity bioplastic production, despite the many decades of efforts by academicians and industrial scientists that have not yet achieved that goal. This article focuses on defining obstacles and solutions to overcome cost-performance metrics that are not sufficiently competitive with current commodity thermoplastics. To that end, this review describes various process innovations that build on fed-batch and semi-continuous modes of operation as well as methods that lead to high cell density cultivations. Also, we discuss work to move from costly to lower cost substrates such as lignocellulose-derived hydrolysates, metabolic engineering of organisms that provide higher substrate conversion rates, the potential of halophiles to provide low-cost platforms in non-sterile environments for PHA formation, and work that uses mixed culture strategies to overcome obstacles of using waste substrates. We also describe historical problems and potential solutions to downstream processing for PHA isolation that, along with feedstock costs, have been an Achilles heel towards the realization of cost-efficient processes. Finally, future directions for efficient PHA production and relevant structural variations are discussed.

Abstract
The economy of the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production process could be supported by utilising the different by-products released simultaneously during its production. Among these, proteins are present in high concentrations in liquid stream which are released after the cell disruption along with PHA granules. These microbial proteins can be used as animal feed, adhesive material and in manufacturing of bioplastics. The recycling of the protein containing liquid stream also serves as a promising approach to maintain circular bioeconomy in the route. For this aim, it is important to obtain good yield and limit the drawbacks of protein recovery processes and associated costs. The review focuses on recycling of the liquid stream generated during acid/thermal-alkali treatment for PHA production that would close the gap in linear economy and attain circularity in the process. Examples to recover proteins from other industrial waste streams along with their applications have also been discussed.

Abstract
Hemicellulose hydrolysates (HH), which could be an interesting carbon source to feed mixed microbial cultures (MMC) able to accumulate high value-added compounds. This research focused on the evaluation of a culture strategy to achieve the simultaneous biological production of Levulinic Acid (LA) and Polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHA) by MMC fed with a synthetic HH (SHH). The culture strategy involves the use of sequential batch reactors (SBR) to select microorganisms capable of producing LA and PHA. This work proved that the cultivation strategy used allowed the biological production of LA, reaching 37%w/w when the SHH was composed of 85% pentoses. In addition, the simultaneous biological production of LA and PHB was possible when the SHH was enriched with acetate (45% pentoses - 50% acetate). Finally, this study showed that the composition of the SHH impacts directly on the selected microorganism genus and the type and quantity of the value-added compounds obtained.

Abstract
PHA, a family of natural biopolymers aiming to replace non-degradable plastics for short-term usages, has been developed to include various structures such as short-chain-length (scl) and medium-chain-length (mcl) monomers as well as their copolymers. However, PHA market has been grown slowly since 1980s due to limited variety with good mechanical properties and the high production cost. Here, we review most updated strategies or approaches including metabolic engineering, synthetic biology and morphology engineering on expanding PHA diversity, reducing production cost and enhancing PHA production. The extremophilic Halomonas spp. are taken as examples to show the feasibility and challenges to develop next generation industrial biotechnology (NGIB) for producing PHA more competitively.

Abstract
Carotenoids are natural pigments with substantial applications in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. In this study, optimization of the fermentation process for enhancement of β-carotene and biomass production by Exiguobacterium acetylicum S01 was achieved by employing statistical designs including the Placket-Burman design (PBD) and response surface methodology (RSM). Among the seven variables investigated by two levels in PBD, glucose, peptone, pH and temperature were indicated as crucial variables (p < 0.0001) for β-carotene and biomass productivity. Response surface methodology was further applied to evaluate the optimal concentrations of these four variables for maximum β-carotene and biomass productivity. The optimized medium contained glucose 1.4 g/L, peptone 26.5 g/L, pH 8.5, and temperature 30 °C, respectively. A significant increase in β-carotene (40.32 ± 2.55 mg/L) and biomass (2.19 ± 0.10 g/L) productivities in E. acetylicum S01 were achieved by using RSM, which was 3.47-fold and 2.36-fold higher in the optimized medium compared to the un-optimized medium. Further, the optimum fermentation condition in the 5-L bioreactor was achieved a maximal β-carotene yield of 107.22 ± 5.78 mg/L within 96 h. Moreover, the expression levels of carotenoid biosynthetic genes (phytoene desaturase (CrtI) and phytoene synthase (CrtB)) were up-regulated (2.89-fold and 3.71-fold) in E. acetylicum under the optimized medium conditions. Overall, these results suggest that E. acetylicum S01 can be used as a promising microorganism for the commercial production of β-carotene.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are the only polyesters that are completely synthesized biologically and possess features equivalent to petroleum-based plastics besides being biodegradable. PHA based materials may certainly prove helpful in addressing the concerns caused due to the indiscriminate use of synthetic plastics. However, the cost of producing these polymers on a large scale is still uneconomical. Various approaches have been developed to tackle this issue through usage of agro-industrial wastes, co-production of high market value products, polymer extraction using green solvents, etc. The advent of recombineering and CRISPR technologies has broadened the scope of constructing a microbe capable of synthesizing multiple products with economic feasibility. Quite a few high-market value chemicals are possible to synthesize along with the favorable accumulation of PHA. The present article attempts to review all PHA polymer co-production processes with other chemicals reported till date and discusses the opportunities for their large-scale operation in future.

Abstract
The present study addresses the synthesis and properties of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) of different composition synthesized by Cupriavidus eutrophus B-10646 using glycerol as a carbon substrate. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] was effectively synthesized in fed-batch culture in a 30-L fermenter on glycerol of various purification degrees, with 99.5, 99.7, and 82.1% content of the main component. Purified glycerol (99.7%) was used for 150-L pilot scale fermentation. The total biomass and P(3HB) concentration reached 110 and 85.8 g/L, respectively, after 45 h of fed-batch fermentation. An average volumetric productivity of P(3HB) was 1.83 g/(L h). The degree of crystallinity and molecular weight of P(3HB) synthesized on glycerol were lower than and temperature characteristics were the same as those of P(3HB) synthesized on sugars.

Abstract
New polyurethanes were synthesized based on dihydroxy fatty acid obtained by the microbial conversion of olive oil. Monounsaturated 7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-octadecenoic acid (DOD) was produced from olive oil by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PR3 and reacted with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) at different ratios to form polyurethanes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry confirmed the synthesis of DOD. The thermal and tensile properties of the polyurethanes were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and a universal testing machine. At an isocyanate/hydroxyl ratio of 1.4, the polyurethane exhibited an elongation at break of 59.2% and a high tensile strength of 37.9 MPa. DOD was also mixed with polycaprolactone diol or polyethylene glycol at different weight ratios and then reacted with HMDI to produce new polyurethanes of various properties. These polyurethanes displayed higher elongation at break and good thermal stability. This is the first report on the synthesis of polyurethanes based on DOD produced by the microbial conversion of vegetable oil.

Abstract
PHA synthases (PhaC) are grouped into four classes based on the kinetics and mechanisms of reaction. The grouping of PhaC enzymes into four classes is dependent on substrate specificity, according to the preference in forming short-chain-length (scl) or medium-chain-length (mcl) polymers: Class I, Class III and Class IV produce scl-PHAs depending on propionate, butyrate, valerate and hexanoate precursors, while Class II PhaC synthesize mcl-PHAs based on the alkane (C6 to C14) precursors. PHA synthases of Class I, in particular PhaCCs from Chromobacterium USM2 and PhaCCn/RePhaC1 from Cupriavidus necator/Ralstonia eutropha, have been analysed and the crystal structures of the C-domains have been determined. PhaCCn/RePhaC1 was also studied by X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) analysis. Models have been proposed for dimerization, catalysis mechanism, substrate recognition and affinity, product formation, and product egress route. The assays based on amino acid substitution by mutagenesis have been useful to validate the hypothesis on the role of amino acids in catalysis and in accommodation of bulky substrates, and for the synthesis of PHB copolymers and medium-chain-length PHA polymers with optimized chemical properties.
