Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has gained much attention as a potential host for cellulosic bioethanol production using consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) methodologies, due to its high-ethanol-producing titres, heterologous protein production capabilities, and tolerance to various industry-relevant stresses. Since the secretion levels of heterologous proteins are generally low in domesticated strains of S. cerevisiae, natural isolates may offer a more diverse genetic background for improved heterologous protein secretion, while also displaying greater robustness to process stresses. In this study, the potential of natural and industrial S. cerevisiae strains to secrete a core set of cellulases (CBH1, CBH2, EG2, and BGL1), encoded by genes integrated using CRISPR/Cas9 tools, was evaluated. High levels of heterologous protein production were associated with a reduced maximal growth rate and with slight changes in overall strain robustness, compared to the parental strains. The natural isolate derivatives YI13_BECC and YI59_BECC displayed superior secretion capacity for the heterologous cellulases at high incubation temperature and in the presence of acetic acid, respectively, compared to the reference industrial strain MH1000_BECC. These strains also exhibited multi-tolerance to several fermentation-associated and secretion stresses. Cultivation of the strains on crystalline cellulose in oxygen-limited conditions yielded ethanol concentrations in the range of 4-4.5 g/L, representing 35-40% of the theoretical maximum ethanol yield after 120 h, without the addition of exogenous enzymes. This study therefore highlights the potential of these natural isolates to be used as chassis organisms in CBP bioethanol production. KEY POINTS: • Process-related fermentation stresses influence heterologous protein production. • Transformants produced up to 4.5 g/L ethanol, ~ 40% of the theoretical yield in CBP. • CRISPR/Cas9 was feasible for integrating genes in natural S. cerevisiae isolates.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:6347-6361. [PMID: 35951080 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-12114-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) remains an attractive option for the production of commodity products from pretreated lignocellulose if a process-suitable organism can be engineered. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires engineered cellulolytic activity to enable its use in CBP production of second-generation (2G) bioethanol. A promising strategy for heterologous cellulase production in yeast entails displaying enzymes on the cell surface by means of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors. While strains producing a core set of cell-adhered cellulases that enabled crystalline cellulose hydrolysis have been created, secreted levels of enzyme were insufficient for complete cellulose hydrolysis. In fact, all reported recombinant yeast CBP candidates must overcome the drawback of generally low secretion titers. Rational strain engineering can be applied to enhance the secretion phenotype. This study aimed to improve the amount of cell-adhered cellulase activities of recombinant S. cerevisiae strains expressing a core set of four cellulases, through overexpression of genes that were previously shown to enhance cellulase secretion. Results showed significant increases in cellulolytic activity for all cell-adhered cellulase enzyme types. Cell-adhered cellobiohydrolase activity was improved by up to 101%, β-glucosidase activity by up to 99%, and endoglucanase activity by up to 231%. Improved hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose of up to 186% and improved ethanol yields from this substrate of 40-50% in different strain backgrounds were also observed. In addition, improvement in resistance to fermentation stressors was noted in some strains. These strains represent a step towards more efficient organisms for use in 2G biofuel production. KEY POINTS: • Cell-surface-adhered cellulase activity was improved in strains engineered for CBP. • Levels of improvement of activity were strain and enzyme dependent. • Crystalline cellulose conversion to ethanol could be improved up to 50%.

Abstract
Selected strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are used for commercial bioethanol production from cellulose and starch, but the high cost of exogenous enzymes for substrate hydrolysis remains a challenge. This can be addressed through consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) where S. cerevisiae strains are engineered to express recombinant glycoside hydrolases during fermentation. Looking back at numerous strategies undertaken over the past four decades to improve recombinant protein production in S. cerevisiae, it is evident that various steps in the protein production "pipeline" can be manipulated depending on the protein of interest and its anticipated application. In this review, we briefly introduce some of the strategies and highlight lessons learned with regards to improved transcription, translation, post-translational modification and protein secretion of heterologous hydrolases. We examine how host strain selection and modification, as well as enzyme compatibility, are crucial determinants for overall success. Finally, we discuss how lessons from heterologous hydrolase expression can inform modern synthetic biology and genome editing tools to provide process-ready yeast strains in future. However, it is clear that the successful expression of any particular enzyme is still unpredictable and requires a trial-and-error approach.

Abstract
The potential of cellulolytic enzymes has been widely studied and explored for bioconversion processes and plays a key role in various industrial applications. Cellulase, a key enzyme for cellulose-rich waste feedstock-based biorefinery, has increasing demand in various industries, e.g., paper and pulp, juice clarification, etc. Also, there has been constant progress in developing new strategies to enhance its production, such as the application of waste feedstock as the substrate for the production of individual or enzyme cocktails, process parameters control, and genetic manipulations for enzyme production with enhanced yield, efficiency, and specificity. Further, an insight into immobilization techniques has also been presented for improved reusability of cellulase, a critical factor that controls the cost of the enzyme at an industrial scale. In addition, the review also gives an insight into the status of the significant application of cellulase in the industrial sector, with its techno-economic analysis for future applications. The present review gives a complete overview of current perspectives on the production of microbial cellulases as a promising tool to develop a sustainable and greener concept for industrial applications.

Abstract
Heterologous expression of the carbohydrate-active enzymes in microorganisms is a promising approach to produce bio-based compounds, such as fuels, nutraceuticals and other value-added products from sustainable lignocellulosic sources. Several microorganisms, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Escherichia coli, and the filamentous fungi Aspergillus nidulans, have unique characteristics desirable for a biorefinery production approach like well-known genetic tools, thermotolerance, high fermentative capacity and product tolerance, and high amount of recombinant enzyme secretion. These microbial factories are already stablished in the heterologous production of the carbohydrate-active enzymes to produce, among others, ethanol, xylooligosaccharides and the valuable coniferol. A complete biocatalyst able to heterologous express the CAZymes of glycoside hydrolases, carbohydrate esterases and auxiliary activities families could release these compounds faster, with higher yield and specificity. Recent advances in the synthetic biology tools could expand the number and diversity of enzymes integrated in these microorganisms, and also modify those already integrated. This review outlines the heterologous expression of carbohydrate-active enzymes in microorganisms, as well as recent updates in synthetic biology.

Consolidated bioprocessing of corn cob-derived hemicellulose: engineered industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae as efficient whole cell biocatalysts. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS 2020; 13:138. [PMID: 32782474 PMCID: PMC7414751 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-020-01780-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Consolidated bioprocessing, which combines saccharolytic and fermentative abilities in a single microorganism, is receiving increased attention to decrease environmental and economic costs in lignocellulosic biorefineries. Nevertheless, the economic viability of lignocellulosic ethanol is also dependent of an efficient utilization of the hemicellulosic fraction, which contains xylose as a major component in concentrations that can reach up to 40% of the total biomass in hardwoods and agricultural residues. This major bottleneck is mainly due to the necessity of chemical/enzymatic treatments to hydrolyze hemicellulose into fermentable sugars and to the fact that xylose is not readily consumed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae-the most used organism for large-scale ethanol production. In this work, industrial S. cerevisiae strains, presenting robust traits such as thermotolerance and improved resistance to inhibitors, were evaluated as hosts for the cell-surface display of hemicellulolytic enzymes and optimized xylose assimilation, aiming at the development of whole-cell biocatalysts for consolidated bioprocessing of corn cob-derived hemicellulose. RESULTS These modifications allowed the direct production of ethanol from non-detoxified hemicellulosic liquor obtained by hydrothermal pretreatment of corn cob, reaching an ethanol titer of 11.1 g/L corresponding to a yield of 0.328 g/g of potential xylose and glucose, without the need for external hydrolytic catalysts. Also, consolidated bioprocessing of pretreated corn cob was found to be more efficient for hemicellulosic ethanol production than simultaneous saccharification and fermentation with addition of commercial hemicellulases. CONCLUSIONS These results show the potential of industrial S. cerevisiae strains for the design of whole-cell biocatalysts and paves the way for the development of more efficient consolidated bioprocesses for lignocellulosic biomass valorization, further decreasing environmental and economic costs.

Abstract
To enable Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce renewable fuels from lignocellulose in a consolidated bioprocess, a heterologous cellulase system must be engineered into this yeast. In addition, inherently low secretion titers and sensitivity to adverse environmental conditions must be overcome. Here, two native S. cerevisiae genes related to yeast stress tolerance, YHB1 and SET5, were overexpressed under transcriptional control of the constitutive PGK1 promoter and their effects on heterologous secretion of Talaromyces emersonii cel7A cellobiohydrolase was investigated. Transformants showed increased secreted enzyme activity that ranged from 22% to 55% higher compared to the parental strains and this did not lead to deleterious growth effects. The recombinant strains overexpressing either YHB1 or SET5 also demonstrated multi-tolerant characteristics desirable in bioethanol production, i.e. improved tolerance to osmotic and heat stress. Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR analysis in these strains showed decreased transcription of secretion pathway genes. However, decreased unfolded protein response was also observed, suggesting novel mechanisms for enhancing enzyme production through stress modulation. Overexpression of YHB1 in an unrelated diploid strain also enhanced stress tolerance and improved ethanol productivity in medium containing acetic acid. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that improved heterologous secretion and environmental stress tolerance could be engineered into yeast simultaneously.

Abstract
Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulosic material into bioethanol has progressed in the past decades; however, several challenges still exist which impede the industrial application of this technology. Identifying the challenges that exist in all unit operations is crucial and needs to be optimised, but only the barriers related to the secretion of recombinant cellulolytic enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae will be addressed in this review. Fundamental principles surrounding CBP as a biomass conversion platform have been established through the successful expression of core cellulolytic enzymes, namely β-glucosidases, endoglucanases, and exoglucanases (cellobiohydrolases) in S. cerevisiae. This review will briefly address the challenges involved in the construction of an efficient cellulolytic yeast, with particular focus on the secretion efficiency of cellulases from this host. Additionally, strategies for studying enhanced cellulolytic enzyme secretion, which include both rational and reverse engineering approaches, will be discussed. One such technique includes bio-engineering within genetically diverse strains, combining the strengths of both natural strain diversity and rational strain development. Furthermore, with the advancement in next-generation sequencing, studies that utilise this method of exploiting intra-strain diversity for industrially relevant traits will be reviewed. Finally, future prospects are discussed for the creation of ideal CBP strains with high enzyme production levels.Key Points• Several challenges are involved in the construction of efficient cellulolytic yeast, in particular, the secretion efficiency of cellulases from the hosts.• Strategies for enhancing cellulolytic enzyme secretion, a core requirement for CBP host microorganism development, include both rational and reverse engineering approaches.• One such technique includes bio-engineering within genetically diverse strains, combining the strengths of both natural strain diversity and rational strain development.

Abstract
Biological engineering has unprecedented potential to solve society's most pressing challenges. Engineering approaches must consider complex technical, economic, and social factors. This requires methods that confer gene/pathway-level functionality and organism-level robustness in rapid and cost-effective ways. This article compares foundational engineering approaches - bottom-up, gene-targeted engineering, and top-down, whole-genome engineering - and identifies significant complementarity between them. Cases drawn from engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae exemplify the synergy of a combined approach. Indeed, multimodal engineering streamlines strain development by leveraging the complementarity of whole-genome and gene-targeted engineering to overcome the gap in design knowledge that restricts rational design. As biological engineers target more complex systems, this dual-track approach is poised to become an increasingly important tool to realize the promise of synthetic biology.
