Autotrophic poly-3-hydroxybutyrate accumulation in Cupriavidus necator for sustainable bioplastic production triggered by nutrient starvation. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 406:131068. [PMID: 38972429 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.131068] [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: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
Cupriavidus necator is a facultative chemolithoautotrophic bacterium able to convert carbon dioxide into poly-3-hydroxybutyrate. This is highly promising as the conversion process allows the production of sustainable and biodegradable plastics. Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate accumulation is known to be induced by nutrient starvation, but information regarding the optimal stress conditions controlling the process is still heterogeneous and fragmentary. This study presents a comprehensive comparison of the effects of nutrient stress conditions, namely nitrogen, hydrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and magnesium deprivation, on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate accumulation in C. necator DSM545. Nitrogen starvation exhibited the highest poly-3-hydroxybutyrate accumulation, achieving 54% of total cell dry weight after four days of nutrient stress, and a carbon conversion efficiency of 85%. The gas consumption patterns indicated flexible physiological mechanisms underlying polymer accumulation and depolymerization. These findings provide insights into strategies for efficient carbon conversion into bioplastics, and highlight the key role of C. necator for future industrial-scale applications.

Abstract
Due to the rapid increase in the world's population, many developing countries are facing malnutrition problems, including famine and food insecurity. Particularly, the deficiency of protein sources becomes a serious problem for human and animal nutrition. In this context, Single Cell Proteins, could be exploited as an alternative source of unconventional proteins. The aim of the study was to investigate SCP production and composition by Cupriavidus necator under various environmental conditions, temperature and pH values. A mono-factorial approach was implemented using batch bioreactor cultures under well-controlled conditions. Results were compared in terms of bacterial growth and SCP composition (proteins, nucleic acids, amino acids and elemental formula). Complementary analyses were performed by flow cytometry to study cell morphology, membrane permeability and the presence of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production. Our data confirmed the ability of C. necator to produce high amount of proteins (69 %DW at 30 °C and pH7). The results showed that temperature and pH independently impact SCP production and composition. This impact was particularly observed at the highest temperature (40 °C) and also the lowest pH value (pH5) providing lower growth rates, cell elongation, changes in granularity and lower amounts of proteins (down to 44 %DW at pH5) and nucleic acids. These low percentages were related to the production of PHB production (up to 44 %DW at 40 °C) which is the first report of a PHB accumulation in C. necator under nutrient unlimited conditions.

Abstract
PHA is one of the most promising candidates in bio-polymer family which is biodegradable and environment-friendly in nature. In recent years, it has been applied as a biodegradable alternative for petroleum-based plastic across different domains. In literature, several research groups have scrutinised the biocompatibility and biodegradability of PHA in both in vivo settings as well as in in vitro conditions. Microbial yield polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are promoted at present as biodegradable plastics. On the other hand, only a limited number of products is being commercially manufactured out of PHAs (e.g., bottles). A succession of microbes (prokaryotes in addition to eukaryotes) has been identified as potential candidates that can disintegrate PHAs. These materials have been successfully employed in packaging industry, medical devices and implants, moulded goods, paper coatings, adhesives, performance additives, mulch films, non-woven fabrics, etc. The present paper reviews and focuses on the potential applications of PHA and its derivatives in different industries.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are polymers produced by microorganisms with increasing commercialization potential; Cupriavidus necator has been the model microorganism to research PHA production. Despite many contributions concerning the formation and degradation of PHA granules, as well as the morphological changes in cells, these phenomena have not been univocally explained yet. Thus, this study aims to integrate the microscopic and analytical analysis to characterize changes in bacterial cell/PHA granules morphology, PHA content, and yield coefficients under different cultivation strategies of C. necator ATCC 17697. The cell size and morphology, granule size and amount, residual biomass, and PHA concentration along the fermentation and degradation depend greatly on nutritional conditions and cultivation time of C. necator. It was proposed to calculate a yield coefficient for the residual biomass production in the PHA utilization stage, related to the bacteria's ability to survive without a carbon source in the culture medium by utilizing the accumulated PHA previously. Maximum granule length reached 1.07 µm after 72 h of PHA accumulation stage under optimum nutritional conditions. This value is twice the values previously reported for C. necator. It is important since the larger PHA granules facilitate the recovery of PHA and different application development.

Abstract
Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) is a biopolymer, which presents characteristics similar to those of plastics derived from the petrochemical industry. The thermomechanical properties and biodegradability of P3HB are influenced by its molecular weight (MW). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the changes of the molecular weight of P3HB as a function of oxygen transfer rate (OTR) in the cultures using two strains of Azotobacter vinelandii, a wild-type strain OP, and PhbZ1 mutant with a P3HB depolymerase inactivated. Both strains were grown in a bioreactor under different OTR conditions. An inverse relationship was found between the average molecular weight of P3HB and the OTRmax, obtaining a polymer with a maximal MW (8000-10,000 kDa) from the cultures developed at OTRmax of 5 mmol L-1 h-1 using both strains, with respect to the cultures conducted at 8 and 11 mmol L-1 h-1, which produced a P3HB between 4000 and 5000 kDa. The increase in MW of P3HB was related to the activity of enzymes involved in the synthesis and depolymerization. Overall, our results show that it is possible to modulate the average molecular weight of P3HB by manipulating oxygen transfer conditions with both strains (OP and PhbZ1 mutant) of A. vinelandii.

Abstract
A considerable variety of different biopolymers is formed by the entirety of organisms present on earth. Most of these compounds are organic polymers such as polysaccharides, polyamino acids, polynucleotides, polyisoprenes or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), but some biopolymers can consist of solely inorganic monomers such as phosphate in polyphosphates (polyPs). In this contribution, we describe the formation of an organic-inorganic block copolymer consisting of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and polyP. This was achieved by the expression of a fusion of the polyP kinase gene (ppk2c) with the PHB synthase gene (phaC) of Ralstonia eutropha in a polyP-free and PHB-free mutant background of R. eutropha. The fusion protein catalyzed both the formation of polyP by its polyP kinase domain and the formation of PHB by its PHB synthase domain. It was also possible to synthesize the polyP-PHB polymer in vitro with purified Ppk2c-PhaC, if the monomers, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA (3HB-CoA), were provided. Most likely, the formed block copolymer (polyP-protein-PHB) turns into a blend of polyP and PHB after release from the enzyme.

Abstract
With rapid technology progress and cost reduction, clean hydrogen from water electrolysis driven by renewable powers becomes a potential feedstock for CO2 fixation by hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria. Cupriavidus necator (formally Ralstonia eutropha), a representative member of the lithoautotrophic prokaryotes, is a promising producer of polyhydroxyalkanoates and single cell proteins. This paper reviews the fundamental properties of the hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium, the metabolic activities under limitation of individual gases and nutrients, and the value-added products from CO2, including the products with large potential markets. Gas fermentation and bioreactor safety are discussed for achieving high cell density and high productivity of desired products under chemolithotrophic conditions. The review also updates the recent research activities in metabolic engineering of C. necator to produce novel metabolites from CO2.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) produced from mixed microbial cultures (MMC), regarded as potential substitutes of petrochemical plastics, can be found as intracellular granules in various microorganisms under limited nutrient conditions and excess of carbon source. PHA is traditionally quantified by laborious and time-consuming chromatography analysis, and a simpler and faster method to assess PHA contents from MMC, such as quantitative image analysis (QIA), is of great interest. The main purpose of the present work was to upgrade a previously developed QIA methodology (as reported by Mesquita et al. (Anal Chim Acta 770:36-44, 2013a, Anal Chim Acta 865:8-15, 2015)) for MMC intracellular PHA contents quantification, increase the studied intracellular PHA concentration range, and extend to different sequencing batch reactor (SBR) operation strategies. Therefore, the operation of a new aerobic dynamic feeding (ADF) SBR allowed further extending the studied operating conditions, dataset, and range of the MMC intracellular PHA contents from the previously reported anaerobic/aerobic cycle SBR. Nile Blue A (NBA) staining was employed for epifluorescence microscope visualization and image acquisition, further fed to a custom developed QIA. Data from each of the feast and famine cycles of both SBR were individually processed using chemometrics analysis, obtaining the correspondent partial least squares (PLS) models. The PHA concentrations determined from PLS models were further plotted against the results obtained in the standard chromatographic method. For both SBR, the predicted ability was higher at the end of the feast stage than for the famine stage. Indeed, an independent feast and famine QIA data treatment was found to be fundamental to obtain the best prediction abilities. Furthermore, a promising overall correlation (R 2 of 0.83) could be found combining the overall QIA data regarding the PHA prediction up to a concentration of 1785.1 mg L-1 (37.3 wt%). Thus, the results confirm that the presented QIA methodology can be seen as promising for estimating higher intracellular PHA concentrations for a larger reactors operation systems and further extending the prediction range of previous studies.

Abstract
The present study addresses growth parameters and physiological and biochemical characteristics of the aerobic CO-oxidizing carboxydobacterium Seliberia carboxydohydrogena Z-1062. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) yields were investigated in experiments with limiting concentrations of mineral nutrients (nitrogen or sulfur or nitrogen and sulfur) in batch culture of S. carboxydohydrogena Z-1062 grown on gas mixtures consisting of CO(2), O(2), H(2), and CO. CO concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 % v/v did not affect polymer synthesis, whose content after 56-h cultivation under limiting concentrations of nitrogen and sulfur was 52.6-62.8 % of biomass weight at a productivity of 0.13-0.22 g/L h. The inhibitory effect of CO on cell concentration was revealed at CO concentration of 30 % v/v. That also caused a decrease in substrate (H(2) and O(2)) use efficiency. Thus, this carboxydobacterium can be regarded as a potential producer of polyhydroxyalkanoates from industrial hydrogenous sources.

Abstract
Bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are isotactic polymers that play a critical role in central metabolism, as they act as dynamic reservoirs of carbon and reducing equivalents. These polymers have a number of technical applications since they exhibit thermoplastic and elastomeric properties, making them attractive as a replacement of oil-derived materials. PHAs are accumulated under conditions of nutritional imbalance (usually an excess of carbon source with respect to a limiting nutrient, such as nitrogen or phosphorus). The cycle of PHA synthesis and degradation has been recognized as an important physiological feature when these biochemical pathways were originally described, yet its role in bacterial processes as diverse as global regulation and cell survival is just starting to be appreciated in full. In the present revision, the complex regulation of PHA synthesis and degradation at the transcriptional, translational, and metabolic levels are explored by analyzing examples in natural producer bacteria, such as Pseudomonas species, as well as in recombinant Escherichia coli strains. The ecological role of PHAs, together with the interrelations with other polymers and extracellular substances, is also discussed, along with their importance in cell survival, resistance to several types of environmental stress, and planktonic-versus-biofilm lifestyle. Finally, bioremediation and plant growth promotion are presented as examples of environmental applications in which PHA accumulation has successfully been exploited.
