[PMID: 36338133 PMCID: PMC9633946 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1029203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Xylitol production from lignocellulose hydrolysate is a sustainable and environment-friendly process. In this study, a systematic process of converting corncob waste into xylitol is described. First, the corncobs are hydrolyzed with acid to a hydrolysate. Second, Kluyveromyces marxianus YZJQ016 derived from K. marxianus YZJ074, constructed by overexpressing ScGAL2-N376F from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, CtXYL1 from Candida tropicalis, and KmZWF1 from K. marxianus, produces xylitol from the hydrolysate. A total of ten xylose reductase genes were evaluated, and CtXYL1 proved best by showing the highest catalytic activity under the control of the KmGAPDH promoter. A 5 L fermenter at 42°C produced 105.22 g/L xylitol using K. marxianus YZJQ016—the highest production reported to date from corncob hydrolysate. Finally, for crystallization of the xylitol, the best conditions were 50% (v/v) methanol as an antisolvent, at 25°C, with purity and yield of 99%–100% and 74%, respectively—the highest yield reported to date.

Sugarcane Bagasse-Based Ethanol Production and Utilization of Its Vinasse for Xylitol Production as an Approach in Integrated Biorefinery. FERMENTATION 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/fermentation8070340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Biorefinery of sugarcane bagasse into ethanol and xylitol was investigated in this study. Ethanol fermentation of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate was carried out by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After ethanol distillation, the vinasse containing xylose was used to produce xylitol through fermentation by Candida guilliermondii TISTR 5068. During the ethanol fermentation, it was not necessary to supplement a nitrogen source to the hydrolysate. Approximately 50 g/L of bioethanol was produced after 36 h of fermentation. The vinasse was successfully used to produce xylitol. Supplementing the vinasse with 1 g/L of yeast extract improved xylitol production 1.4-fold. Cultivating the yeast with 10% controlled dissolved oxygen resulted in the best xylitol production and yields of 10.2 ± 1.12 g/L and 0.74 ± 0.04 g/g after 60 h fermentation. Supplementing the vinasse with low fraction of molasses to improve xylitol production did not yield a positive result. The supplementation caused decreases of up to 34% in xylitol production rate, 24% in concentration, and 24% in yield.

Tulha J, Amorim-Rodrigues M, Esquembre LA, Rauch S, Tamás MJ, Lucas C. Physical, genetic and functional interactions between the eisosome protein Pil1 and the MBOAT O-acyltransferase Gup1. FEMS Yeast Res 2020; 21:6045508. [PMID: 33355361 DOI: 10.1093/femsyr/foaa070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae MBOAT O-acyltransferase Gup1 is involved in many processes, including cell wall and membrane composition and integrity, and acetic acid-induced cell death. Gup1 was previously shown to interact physically with the mitochondrial membrane VDAC (Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel) protein Por1 and the ammonium transceptor Mep2. By co-immunoprecipitation, the eisosome core component Pil1 was identified as a novel physical interaction partner of Gup1. The expression of PIL1 and Pil1 protein levels were found to be unaffected by GUP1 deletion. In ∆gup1 cells, Pil1 was distributed in dots (likely representing eisosomes) in the membrane, identically to wt cells. However, ∆gup1 cells presented 50% less Pil1-GFP dots/eisosomes, suggesting that Gup1 is important for eisosome formation. The two proteins also interact genetically in the maintenance of cell wall integrity, and during arsenite and acetic acid exposure. We show that Δgup1 Δpil1 cells take up more arsenite than wt and are extremely sensitive to arsenite and to acetic acid treatments. The latter causes a severe apoptotic wt-like cell death phenotype, epistatically reverting the ∆gup1 necrotic type of death. Gup1 and Pil1 are thus physically, genetically and functionally connected.
