Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 278:134524. [PMID: 39111488 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134524] [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: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
Crop straws provide enormous lignocellulose resources transformable for sustainable biofuels and valuable bioproducts. However, lignocellulose recalcitrance basically restricts essential biomass enzymatic saccharification at large scale. In this study, the mushroom-derived cellobiohydrolase (LeGH7) was introduced into Trichoderma reesei (Rut-C30) to generate two desirable strains, namely GH7-5 and GH7-6. Compared to the Rut-C30 strain, both engineered strains exhibited significantly enhanced enzymatic activities, with β-glucosidases, endocellulases, cellobiohydrolases, and xylanase activities increasing by 113 %, 140 %, 241 %, and 196 %, respectively. By performing steam explosion and mild alkali pretreatments with mature straws of five bioenergy crops, diverse lignocellulose substrates were effectively digested by the crude enzymes secreted from the engineered strains, leading to the high-yield hexoses released for bioethanol production. Notably, the LeGH7 enzyme purified from engineered strain enabled to act as multiple cellulases and xylanase at higher activities, interpreting how synergistic enhancement of enzymatic saccharification was achieved for distinct lignocellulose substrates in major bioenergy crops. Therefore, this study has identified a novel enzyme that is active for simultaneous hydrolyses of cellulose and xylan, providing an applicable strategy for high biomass enzymatic saccharification and bioethanol conversion in bioenergy crops.

Abstract
Water pollution is an inextricable problem that stems from natural and human-related factors. Unfortunately, with rapid industrialization, the problem has escalated to alarming levels. The pollutants that contribute to water pollution include heavy metals (HMs), chemicals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial byproducts. Numerous methods are used for treating HMs in wastewater, like ion exchange, membrane filtration, chemical precipitation, adsorption, and electrochemical treatment. But the remediation through the plant, i.e., phytoremediation is the most sustainable approach to remove the contaminants from wastewater. Aquatic plants illustrate the capacity to absorb excess pollutants including organic and inorganic compounds, HMs, and pharmaceutical residues present in agricultural, residential, and industrial discharges. The extensive exploitation of these hyperaccumulator plants can be attributed to their abundance, invasive mechanisms, potential for bioaccumulation, and biomass production. Post-phytoremediation, plant biomass can be toxic to both water bodies and soil. Therefore, the circular bioeconomy approach can be applied to reuse and repurpose the toxic plant biomass into different circular bioeconomy byproducts such as biochar, biogas, bioethanol, and biodiesel is essential. In this regard, the current review highlights the potential strategies for the phytoremediation of HMs in wastewater and various strategies to efficiently reuse metal-enriched biomass material and produce commercially valuable products. The implementation of circular bioeconomy practices can help overcome significant obstacles and build a new platform for an eco-friendlier lifestyle.

Upgrading pectin methylation for consistently enhanced biomass enzymatic saccharification and cadmium phytoremediation in rice Ospmes site-mutants. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:130137.

Abstract
Crop straws provide enormous biomass residues applicable for biofuel production and trace metal phytoremediation. However, as lignocellulose recalcitrance determines a costly process with potential secondary waste liberation, genetic modification of plant cell walls is deemed as a promising solution. Although pectin methylation plays an important role for plant cell wall construction and integrity, little is known about its regulation roles on lignocellulose hydrolysis and trace metal elimination. In this study, we initially performed a typical CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing for site mutations of OsPME31, OsPME34 and OsPME79 in rice, and then determined significantly upgraded pectin methylation degrees in the young seedlings of three distinct site-mutants compared to their wild type. We then examined distinctively improved lignocellulose recalcitrance in three mutants including reduced cellulose levels, crystallinity and polymerization or raised hemicellulose deposition and cellulose accessibility, which led to specifically enlarged biomass porosity either for consistently enhanced biomass enzymatic saccharification under mild alkali pretreatments or for cadmium (Cd) accumulation up to 2.4-fold. Therefore, this study proposed a novel model to elucidate how pectin methylation could play a unique enhancement role for both lignocellulose enzymatic hydrolysis and Cd phytoremediation, providing insights into precise pectin modification for effective biomass utilization and efficient trace metal exclusion.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 897:165442.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of cold isostatic pressure (CIP) pretreatment on the physicochemical properties and subsequent anaerobic digestion (AD) performance of corn straw (CS) was explored. The CS was subjected to CIP pretreatment by pressures of 200, 400 and 600 MPa, respectively, while AD was carried out at medium temperature (35 ± 2 °C). The results showed that CIP pretreatment disrupted the dense structure of the CS and altered the crystallinity index and surface hydrophobicity of the CS, thereby affecting the AD process. The presence of CIP pretreatment increased the initial reducing sugar concentration by 0.11-0.27 g/L and increased the maximum volatile fatty acids content by 112.82-436.64 mg/L, which facilitated the process of acidification and hydrolysis of the AD. It was also observed that the CIP pretreatment maintained the pH in the range of 6.37-7.30, maintaining the stability of the overall system. Moreover, the cumulative methane production in the CIP pretreatment group increased by 27.17 %-64.90 % compared to the control group. Analysis of the microbial results showed that CIP pretreatment increased the abundance of cellulose degrading bacteria Ruminofilibacter from 21.50 % to 27.53 % and acetoclastic methanogen Methanosaeta from 45.48 % to 56.92 %, thus facilitating the hydrolysis and methanogenic stages. The energy conversion analysis showed that CIP is a green and non-polluting pretreatment strategy for the efficient AD of CS to methane.

Abstract
Hydrothermal treatment was applied to pretreat rape straw for the efficient co-production of reducing sugars and xylooligosaccharides. It was observed that hydrothermal treatment using water as solvent and catalyst destructed the compact structure of rape straw and increased its enzymatic digestion efficiency from 24.6% to 92.0%. Xylooligosaccharide (3.3 g/L) was acquired after the treatment under 200 °C for 60 min (severity factor Log Ro = 4.7). With increasing pretreatment intensity from 3.1 to 5.4, the hemicellulose removal increased from 14.4% to 100%, and the delignification was raised from 12% to 44%. Various characterization proved that the surface morphology of treated material showed a porous shape, while the cellulose accessibility, lignin surface area and lignin hydrophobicity were greatly improved. Consequently, hydrothermal pretreatment played a vital role in the sustainable transformation of biomass to valuable biobased compounds, and had a wide range of application prospects in lignocellulosic biorefining.

The Fragile culm19 (FC19) mutation largely improves plant lodging resistance, biomass saccharification, and cadmium resistance by remodeling cell walls in rice.

Abstract
Cell wall is essential for plant upright growth, biomass saccharification, and stress resistance. Although cell wall modification is suggested as an effective means to increase biomass saccharification, it is a challenge to maintain normal plant growth with improved mechanical strength and stress resistance. Here, we reported two independent fragile culm mutants, fc19-1 and fc19-2, resulting from novel mutations of OsIRX10, produced by the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Compared to wild-type, the two mutants exhibited reduced contents of xylose, hemicellulose, and cellulose, and increased arabinose and lignin without significant alteration in levels of pectin and uronic acids. Despite brittleness, the mutants displayed increased breaking force, leading to improved lodging resistance. Furthermore, the altered cell wall and increased biomass porosity in fc19 largely increased biomass saccharification. Notably, the mutants showed enhanced cadmium (Cd) resistance with lower Cd accumulation in roots and shoots. The FC19 mutation impacts transcriptional levels of key genes contributing to Cd uptake, sequestration, and translocation. Moreover, transcriptome analysis revealed that the FC19 mutation resulted in alterations of genes mainly involved in carbohydrate and phenylpropanoid metabolism. Therefore, a hypothetic model was proposed to elucidate that the FC19 mutation-mediated cell wall remodeling leads to improvements in lodging resistance, biomass saccharification, and Cd resistance.

Abstract
Phytoremediation with energy crops is considered an integrated technology that provides both environment and energy benefits. Herein, the sweet sorghum cultivated on Cd-contaminated farmland (1.21 mg/kg of Cd in the soil) showed promising phytoremediation potential, and the approach for utilizing sorghum stalks was explored. Sweet sorghum bagasse with Cd contamination was pretreated with dilute acid in order to improve enzymatic saccharification and achieve Cd recovery, resulting in harmless and value-added utilization. After pretreatment, hemicelluloses were dramatically degraded, and the lignocellulosic structures were partially deconstructed with xylan removal up to 98.1%. Under the optimal condition (0.75% H2SO4), the highest total sugar yield was 0.48 g/g of raw bagasse; and nearly 98% of Cd was enriched in the liquid phase. Compared with normal biomass, Cd reduced the biomass recalcitrance and further facilitated the deconstruction of biomass under super dilute acid conditions. This work provided an example for the subsequent valorization of Cd-containing biomass and Cd recovery, which will greatly facilitate the development of phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soil.

Abstract
Phytoremediation is an excellent method for removing harmful heavy metals from the environment since it is eco-friendly, uses little energy, and is inexpensive. However, as phytoremediated plants can turn into secondary sources for heavy metals, complete heavy metal removal from phytoremediated plants is necessary. Elimination of toxic heavy metals from phytoremediated plants should be considered with foremost care. This review highlights about important sources of heavy metal contamination, health effects caused by heavy metal contamination and technological breakthroughs of phytoremediation. This review critically emphasis about promising strategies to be engaged for absolute reutilization of heavy metals and spectacular approaches of production of commercially imperative products from phytoremediated plants through circular bioeconomy with key barriers. Thus, phytoremediation combined with circular bioeconomy can create a new platform for the eco-friendly life.

Abstract
To valorize whole lignocellulosic biomass, this study proposed a biphasic solvent system using dilute acid (DA)/pentanol pretreatment. Effects of the key factors, i.e., temperature and pentanol concentration, on aspen were evaluated. Under identified optimal pretreatment conditions (160 °C, 60% pentanol), 85% and 91% of lignin and hemicellulose were solubilized in separate organic and liquid phases, respectively, while 91.1% of cellulose was retained in solid fraction. Enzymatic digestibility efficiency of pretreated cellulose was ∼ 6.4-times higher than that of untreated biomass. Notably, excellent pentanol recovery rates were obtained after four-times recycling (84%) with great cellulose digestibility (81%) and delignification (71%) performance. The recovered lignin contained low levels of contaminated sugars (<1%), while it could stabilize and protect high amounts of β-O-4 bonds. Besides, high phenolic OH content was found in lignin, which could be utilized for lignin-based biomaterials. Therefore, DA/pentanol pretreatment is an innovative promising technology for lignocellulosic valorization towards biorefinery.

Abstract
Cd-contaminated farmlands threaten food security and safety by inhibiting crop growth and Cd accumulating in edible parts. Phytoremediation is a promising option to remove Cd from farmland soil. An ideal option is to remediate Cd and produce crops simultaneously on the contaminated soil. Therefore, we chose widely planted oil crops (soybean, sunflower and rape) as experimental materials, cultured in pots filled with soils contaminated with different concentrations (10, 20, 50, and 100 mg kg-1) Cd till harvest, and then took a closed-loop method to evaluate the remediation potential of the three oil crops, including the remediating ability, yield, and quality of seeds and environmental risk of pyrolytic biochar. The results show that the order of Cd accumulation capacity in the three oil crops was sunflower > rape > soybean. The yield and quality of the three oil crops were decreased by being treated with different concentrations of Cd. In addition, the order for a decreased degree in yield of the three oil crops was sunflower < rape < soybean, and the order for a decreased degree in protein and fat content was sunflower < soybean < rape. The potential risk of seeds of the three oil crops as food/feed was sunflower/soybean < soybean/sunflower < rape. After pyrolysis of harvested three oil crops, the order for leaching toxicity/leaching potential was sunflower-biochar < soybean-biochar/rape-biochar < rape-biochar/soybean-biochar. All three oil crops could remediate Cd-contaminated soils, and their seeds could generate economic value. Closed-loop evaluation of sunflower proved it might be a good option for removing Cd from farmland soil.

Abstract
Phytoextraction is an effective approach for remediation of heavy metal (HM) contaminated soil. After the enhancement of phytoextraction efficiency has been systematically investigated and illustrated, the harmless disposal and value-added use of harmful phytoextraction biomass (HPB) become the major issue to be addressed. Therefore, in recent years, a large number of studies have focused on the disposal technologies for HPB, such as composting, enzyme hydrolysis, hydrothermal conversion, phyto-mining, and pyrolysis. The present review introduces their operation process, reaction parameters, economic/ecological advantages, and especially the migration and transformation behavior of HMs/biomass. Since plenty of plants possess comparable extraction abilities for HMs but with discrepancy constitution of biomass, the phytoextraction process should be combined with the disposal of HPB after harvested in the future, and thus a grading handling strategy for HPB is also presented. Hence, this review is significative for disposing of HPB and popularizing phytoextraction technologies.

Abstract
The heavy metal accumulated biomass after phytoremediation needs to be decontaminated before disposal. Liquid extraction is commonly used to remove and recycle toxic heavy metals from contaminated biomass. In this study, we examined the cadmium (Cd) removal efficiency using different chemical reagents (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium) of the post-harvest Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. biomass. The purifications for the extracted liquids and ecological risk assessments for the extracted residues were also investigated. We have found that 77.8% of Cd in stems and 62.1% of Cd in leaves were removed by 0.25 M HCl after 24 h. In addition, K2CO3, KOH, and 4 Å molecular sieve could remove ≥89.0% of Cd in the extracted liquids. Finally, after we returned the extracted residues to the earthworm-incubated soil, the extracted biomass negatively affected the growth (weight loss ≥ 11.0%) and survival (mortality ≥ 33.3%) of Eisenia fetida. It should be noted that earthworms decreased soil available Cd concentrations from 0.14-0.05 mg kg-1 to 0.11-0.04 mg kg-1 and offset the negative effects of the Cd-contaminated biomass on soil microbes. Overall, given the cost of reagents, the Cd removal efficiency, and the ecological risks of the extracted biomass, using 0.25 M HCl for liquid extraction and K2CO3 for purification should be recommended. This work highlights the potential of liquid extraction for immediately and directly removing the Cd from fresh contaminated accumulator biomass and the resource cycling potential of the extracted liquids and biomass after purification.

Abstract
Land that has little to no utility for agriculture or industry is considered marginal land. This kind of terrain is frequently found on the edge of deserts or other arid regions. The amount of land that can be used for agriculture continues to be constrained by increasing desertification, which is being caused by climate change and the deterioration of agriculturally marginal areas. Plants and associated microorganisms are used to remediate and enhance the soil quality of marginal land. They represent a low-cost and usually long-term solution for restoring soil fertility. Among various phytoremediation processes (viz., phytodegradation, phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytovolatilization, phytofiltration, phytostimulation, and phytodesalination), the employment of a specific mechanism is determined by the state of the soil, the presence and concentration of contaminants, and the plant species involved. This review focuses on the key economically important plants used for phytoremediation, as well as the challenges to plant growth and phytoremediation capability with emphasis on the advantages and limits of plant growth in marginal land soil. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) boost plant development and promote soil bioremediation by secreting a variety of metabolites and hormones, through nitrogen fixation, and by increasing other nutrients' bioavailability through mineral solubilization. This review also emphasizes the role of PGPB under different abiotic stresses, including heavy-metal-contaminated land, high salinity environments, and organic contaminants. In our opinion, the improved soil fertility of marginal lands using PGPB with economically significant plants (e.g., Miscanthus) in dual precession technology will result in the reclamation of general agriculture as well as the restoration of native vegetation.

Abstract
Phytoremediation is an attractive strategy for cleaning soils polluted with a wide spectrum of organic and inorganic toxic compounds. Among these pollutants, heavy metals have attracted global attention due to their negative effects on human health and terrestrial ecosystems. As a result of this, numerous studies have been carried out to elucidate the mechanisms involved in removal processes. These studies have employed many plant species that might be used for phytoremediation and the obtention of end bioproducts such as biofuels and biogas useful in combustion and heating. Phytotechnologies represent an attractive segment that is increasingly gaining attention worldwide due to their versatility, economic profitability, and environmental co-benefits such as erosion control and soil quality and functionality improvement. In this review, the process of valorizing biomass from phytoremediation is described; in addition, relevant experiments where polluted biomass is used as feedstock or bioenergy is produced via thermo- and biochemical conversion are analyzed. Besides, pretreatments of biomass to increase yields and treatments to control the transfer of metals to the environment are also mentioned. Finally, aspects related to the feasibility, benefits, risks, and gaps of converting toxic-metal-polluted biomass are discussed.

Abstract
The mechanisms of intercropping increasing plant biomass, cadmium accumulation, and organic acids secreted in rhizosphere soil are still unclear. Oilseed rape and intercrops were grown in boxes separated either with no barrier between the compartments or by a nylon mesh barrier (37 μm) to license partial root interaction, or a solid barrier to stop any root interactions. Two intercropping systems (oilseed rape-faba bean and oilseed rape-ryegrass) were carried out in soil with Cd content of 5 mg/kg. The intermingling of roots between oilseed rape and faba bean enhanced the biomass of oilseed rape. However, the biomass was negatively affected implying the higher nutrient apportionment to the ryegrass than oilseed rape. Oilseed rape intercropping with both faba bean and ryegrass played a positive role in the shoot Cd concentration of oilseed rape. The intermingling of roots played a positive role in the citric and malic acids when intercropping with faba bean. A remarkable increase in water-soluble Cd and DTPA-Cd content was observed during oilseed rape-faba bean complete root interaction treatment, up to 175.00% and 46.65%, respectively, which compare with the monoculture treatment. In both systems, the translocation factor values were higher for oilseed rape (O-F system) than for the other test plants and were always >1. Thus the Cd removal potential of oilseed rape can be further improved in the future by optimizing agronomic practices and intercropping with faba bean.

Abstract
The heterogeneity and complex composition of crop straw are some of the main obstacles to its scientific and efficient industrial utilization. To thoroughly reveal and identify the composition of different crop straw types and their latent attributes, in this study, 784 straw samples of rice, wheat, corn, rape and cotton were collected. Based on the large sample size, 18 composition characteristics, including chemical composition, proximate composition, ultimate composition, and heating values, were adopted to determine the profiles of the crop straw composition characteristics. Correlation analysis and 7 different types of multivariate analysis were applied and compared. The results indicated that among the 18 characteristics, hemicellulose, water-soluble carbohydrates, crude proteins, phosphorus, fixed carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur had non-normal distributions. Spearman method was a more suitable correlation analysis approach for the crop straw characteristics than Pearson method. The results of the different multivariate analysis methods were reflected in the different classification attributes of water-soluble carbohydrates, phosphorus, hydrogen and sulfur. Non-parametric principal component analysis and non-parametric exploratory factor analysis provided consistent results. The characteristics could be divided into 4 categories of intrinsic associated attributes, namely, (1) lignin, volatile matter, fixed carbon, carbon, hydrogen, higher heating value, and lower heating value; (2) potassium, ash, and sulfur; (3) cellulose, hemicellulose, moisture, and oxygen; and (4) water-soluble carbohydrates, crude proteins, phosphorus, and nitrogen, which exhibited combustion positive, combustion negative, biochemical conversion, and nutritional property, respectively. The study results provide data and methodology support for the development of crop straw utilization strategies.
