Abstract
Utilizing CO2 for bio-succinic acid production is an attractive approach to achieve carbon capture and recycling (CCR) with simultaneous production of a useful platform chemical. Actinobacillus succinogenes and Basfia succiniciproducens were selected and investigated as microbial catalysts. Firstly, the type and concentration of inorganic carbon concentration and glucose concentration were evaluated. 6 g C/L MgCO3 and 24 g C/L glucose were found to be the optimal basic operational conditions, with succinic acid production and carbon yield of over 30 g/L and over 40%, respectively. Then, for maximum gaseous CO2 fixation, carbonate was replaced with CO2 at different ratios. The "less carbonate more CO2" condition of the inorganic carbon source was set as carbonate: CO2 = 1:9 (based on the mass of carbon). This condition presented the highest availability of CO2 by well-balanced chemical reaction equilibrium and phase equilibrium, showing the best performance with regarding CO2 fixation (about 15 mg C/(L·hr)), with suppressed lactic acid accumulation. According to key enzymes analysis, the ratio of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase to lactic dehydrogenase was enhanced at high ratios of gaseous CO2, which could promote glucose conversion through the succinic acid path. To further increase gaseous CO2 fixation and succinic acid production and selectivity, stepwise CO2 addition was evaluated. 50%-65% increase in inorganic carbon utilization was obtained coupled with 20%-30% increase in succinic acid selectivity. This was due to the promotion of the succinic acid branch of the glucose metabolism, while suppressing the pyruvate branch, along with the inhibition on the conversion from glucose to lactic acid.

Recent advances in bio-based production of top platform chemical, succinic acid: an alternative to conventional chemistry. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AND BIOPRODUCTS 2024; 17:72. [PMID: 38811976 PMCID: PMC11137917 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-024-02508-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Succinic acid (SA) is one of the top platform chemicals with huge applications in diverse sectors. The presence of two carboxylic acid groups on the terminal carbon atoms makes SA a highly functional molecule that can be derivatized into a wide range of products. The biological route for SA production is a cleaner, greener, and promising technological option with huge potential to sequester the potent greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. The recycling of renewable carbon of biomass (an indirect form of CO2), along with fixing CO2 in the form of SA, offers a carbon-negative SA manufacturing route to reduce atmospheric CO2 load. These attractive attributes compel a paradigm shift from fossil-based to microbial SA manufacturing, as evidenced by several commercial-scale bio-SA production in the last decade. The current review article scrutinizes the existing knowledge and covers SA production by the most efficient SA producers, including several bacteria and yeast strains. The review starts with the biochemistry of the major pathways accumulating SA as an end product. It discusses the SA production from a variety of pure and crude renewable sources by native as well as engineered strains with details of pathway/metabolic, evolutionary, and process engineering approaches for enhancing TYP (titer, yield, and productivity) metrics. The review is then extended to recent progress on separation technologies to recover SA from fermentation broth. Thereafter, SA derivatization opportunities via chemo-catalysis are discussed for various high-value products, which are only a few steps away. The last two sections are devoted to the current scenario of industrial production of bio-SA and associated challenges, along with the author's perspective.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish an improved pretreatment and fermentation method i.e. immobilized cells for high recovery of fermentable sugars from palm kernel cake (PKC) and its effects on fermentability performance by Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z in the conversion of the fermentable sugar to lactic acid. The effects of oxalic acid concentrations (1-6% w/v) and residence times (1-5 h) on the sugar recovery were initially investigated and it was found that the highest mannose concentration was 25.1 g/L at the optimum hydrolysis conditions of 4 h and 3% (w/v) oxalic acid. The subsequent enzymatic saccharification of the pretreated PKC afforded the highest enzymatic digestibility with the recovered sugars amounting to 25.18 g/L and 9.14 g/L of mannose and glucose, respectively. Subsequently, the fermentability performance of PKC hydrolysate was evaluated and compared in terms of cultivation phases (i.e. mono and dual-phases), carbonate loadings (i.e. magnesium and sodium carbonates), and types of sugars (i.e. glucose and mannose). The highest titer of 19.4 g/L lactic acid was obtained from the fermentation involving A. succinogenes 130Z in dual-phase cultivation supplemented with 30 g/L of magnesium carbonate. Lactic acid production was further enhanced by using immobilized cells with coconut shell-activated carbon (CSAC) of different sizes (A, B, C, and D) in the repeated batch cultivation of dual-phase fermentation producing 31.64 g/L of lactic acid. This work sheds light on the possibilities to enhance the utilization of PKC for lactic acid production via immobilized A. succinogenes 130Z.

Abstract
This study presents sustainable succinic acid production from the organic fraction of household kitchen wastes, i.e., the organic fraction of household kitchen waste (OFHKW), pretreated with enzymatic hydrolysis (100% cocktail dosage: 62.5% Cellic® CTec2, 31%% β-Glucanase and 6.5% Cellic ® HTec2, cellulase activity of 12.5 FPU/g-glucan). For fermentation, A. succinogenes was used, which consumes CO2 during the process. OFHKW at biomass loading > 20% (dry matter) resulted in a final concentration of fermentable sugars 81–85 g/L and can be treated as a promising feedstock for succinic production. Obtained results state that simultaneous addition of gaseous CO2 and MgCO3 (>20 g/dm3) resulted in the highest sugar conversion (79–81%) and succinic yields (74–75%). Additionally, CH4 content in biogas, used as a CO2 source, increased by 21–22% and reached 91–92% vol. Liquid fraction of source-separated kitchen biowaste and the residue after succinic fermentation were successfully converted into biogas. Results obtained in this study clearly document the possibility of integrated valuable compounds (succinic acid) and energy (biogas) production from the organic fraction of household kitchen wastes (OFHKW).

Abstract
The high production of acetic acid (AC) as a by-product leads to difficult separation and purification of succinic acid (SA) and increases production costs in SA fermentation by Actinobacillus succinogenes. NaHSO3 as a steering agent was used to reduce AC production. Herein, the optimum fermentation conditions were achieved by single-factor and orthogonal tests as follows: glucose 60 g/L; MgCO3 60 g/L; NaHSO3 0.15% (w/v); and NaHSO3 addition time, 8 h after inoculation. After optimization, the SA and AC contents were 44.42 and 5.73 g/L. The SA improved by 100.72%, the AC decreased by 21.18% compared with the unfermented. The acetate kinase activity decreased by 14.36% and acetyl-CoA content improved by 97.55% in the group of NaHSO3 addition compared with control check (CK). The mechanism of NaHSO3 is formation acetaldehyde-sodium bisulfite compound and reduction the activity of acetate kinase. These findings indicated a new way of using NaHSO3 as a steering agent to reduce AC generation and may help promote the development of SA industrial production.

Development of a Simple and Robust Kinetic Model for the Production of Succinic Acid from Glucose Depending on Different Operating Conditions. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2023.

Abstract
Succinic acid (SA) is one of the main identified biomass-derived chemical building blocks. In this work we approach the study of its production by Actinobacillus succinogenes DSM 22257 from glucose, focusing on the development and application of a simple kinetic model capable of representing the evolution of the process over time for a great diversity of process variables key to the production of this platform bio-based chemical: initial biomass concentration, yeast extract concentration, agitation speed, and carbon dioxide flow rate. All these variables were studied experimentally, determining the values of key fermentation parameters: titer (23.8–39.7 g·L−1), yield (0.59–0.72 gSA·gglu−1), productivity (0.48–0.96 gSA·L−1·h−1), and selectivity (0.61–0.69 gSA·gglu−1). Even with this wide diversity of operational conditions, a non-structured and non-segregated kinetic model was suitable for fitting to experimental data with high accuracy, considering the values of the goodness-of-fit statistical parameters. This model is based on the logistic equation for biomass growth and on potential kinetic equations to describe the evolution of SA and the sum of by-products as production events that are not associated with biomass growth. The application of the kinetic model to diverse operational conditions sheds light on their effect on SA production. It seems that nitrogen stress is a good condition for SA titer and selectivity, there is an optimal inoculum mass for this purpose, and hydrodynamic stress starts at 300 r.p.m. in the experimental set-up employed. Due to its practical importance, and to validate the developed kinetic model, a fed-batch fermentation was also carried out, verifying the goodness of the model proposed via the process simulation (stage or cycle 1) and application to further cycles of the fed-batch operation. The results showed that biomass inactivation started at cycle 3 after a grace period in cycle 2.

Abstract
Succinic acid has attracted much interest as a key platform chemical that can be obtained in high titers from biomass through sustainable fermentation processes, thus boosting the bioeconomy as a critical production strategy for the future. After several years of development of the production of succinic acid, many studies on lab or pilot scale production have been reported. The relevant experimental data reveal underlying physical and chemical dynamic phenomena. To take advantage of this vast, but disperse, kinetic information, a number of mathematical kinetic models of the unstructured non-segregated type have been proposed in the first place. These relatively simple models feature critical aspects of interest for the design, control, optimization and operation of this key bioprocess. This review includes a detailed description of the phenomena involved in the bioprocesses and how they reflect on the most important and recent models based on macroscopic and metabolic chemical kinetics, and in some cases even coupling mass transport.

Abstract
The single bioprocess approach has certain limitations in terms of process efficiency, product synthesis, and effective resource utilization. Integrated or combined bioprocessing maximizes resource recovery and creates a novel platform to establish sustainable biorefineries. Anaerobic fermentation (AF) is a well-established process for the transformation of organic waste into biogas; conversely, biogas CO2 separation is a challenging and expensive process. Biological fixation of CO2 for succinic acid (SA) mitigates CO2 separation issues and produces commercially important renewable chemicals. Additionally, utilizing digestate rich in volatile fatty acid (VFA) to produce medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) creates a novel integrated platform by utilizing residual organic metabolites. The present review encapsulates the advantages and limitations of AF along with biogas CO2 fixation for SA and digestate rich in VFA utilization for MCFA in a closed-loop approach. Biomethane and biohydrogen processes CO2 utilization for SA production is cohesively deliberated along with the role of biohydrogen as an alternative reducing agent to augment SA yields. Similarly, MCFA production using VFA as a substrate and functional role of electron donors namely ethanol, lactate, and hydrogen are comprehensively discussed. A road map to establish the fermentative biorefinery approach in the framework of AF integrated sustainable bioprocess development is deliberated along with limitations and factors influencing for techno-economic analysis. The discussed integrated approach significantly contributes to promote the circular bioeconomy by establishing carbon-neutral processes in accord with sustainable development goals.

Abstract
This work aimed to study the efficiency of polyvinyl-alcohol-immobilized Actinobacillus succinogenes ATCC55618 for succinic acid (SA) production. Batch fermentation (pH 7, 45% CO2 gas at 0.04 vvm) using glucose (40 g L-1) resulted in SA titer, 26.7 g L-1; productivity, 3.33 g L-1h-1; yield, 0.621 g g-1. Fed-batch mode with cyclic extrication of SA from the medium markedly enhanced the yield to 0.699 g g-1 and concentration to 59.5 g L-1. Batch fermentation using sugars derived from Chlorella vulgaris ESP-31 without yeast extract gave a SA productivity, concentration, and yield of 1.82 g L-1h-1, 36.1 g L-1, and 0.720 g g-1, respectively. Furthermore, continuous fermentation (at 6 h HRT) with microalgal sugar improved the productivity and yield to 3.53 g L-1h-1 and 0.62 g g-1, respectively, which is comparable to those obtained by using glucose. This study reports the highest productivity for SA fermentation using microalgae-derived sugars.

Abstract
Bio-based succinic acid production has attracted global attention since its consideration as a potential replacement to petroleum-based platform chemicals. This study used three different CO2 sources, namely NaHCO3, K2CO3 and MgCO3 for fermentation of succinic acid (SA) by Actinobacillus succinogenes under three distinct substrate conditions i.e. lactose, whey and whey devoid of any supplements. Batch experiments were performed in both anaerobic flasks and 5L benchtop fermenter. SA fermentation in anaerobic flasks was unfettered by supplementary nutrients. However, fermentation in the benchtop fermenter devoid of supplementary nutrients resulted into 42% reduction in SA yield as well as lower SA productivities. Furthermore, a significant reduction of cell growth occurred in anerobic flasks at pH < 6.0, and complete termination of bacterial activity was noted at pH < 5.3. The highest SA titer, yield and productivity of 15.67 g/L, 0.54 g/g and 0.33 g/L/h, respectively, was recorded from whey fermentation with MgCO3. The present study further highlights significant inhibitory effect of K2CO3 buffered medium on Actinobacillus succinogenes. Thus, we can claim that environmental pollution as well as costs of SA production from whey can be reduced by leveraging on whey residual nutrients to support the activity of Actinobacillus succinogenes.

Abstract
The anaerobic fermentation of glucose and fructose was performed by Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z in batch mode using three different volume of bioreactors (0.25, 1 and 3 L). The strategy used was the addition of MgCO3 and fumaric acid (FA) as mineral carbon and the precursor of succinic acid, respectively, in the culture media. Kinetics and yields of succinic acid (SA) production in the presence of sugars in a relevant synthetic medium were investigated. Work on the bench scale (3 L) showed the best results when compared to the small anaerobic reactor’s succinic acid yield and productivity after 96 h of fermentation. For an equal mixture of glucose and fructose used as substrate at 0.4 mol L−1 with the addition of FA as enhancer and under proven optimal conditions (pH 6.8, T = 37 °C, anaerobic condition and 1% v/v of biomass), about 0.5 mol L−1 of SA was obtained, while the theoretical production of succinic acid was 0.74 mol L−1. This concentration corresponded to an experimental yield of 0.88 (mol-C SA/mol-C sugars consumed anaerobically) and a volumetric productivity of 0.48 g-SA L−1 h−1. The succinic acid yield and concentration obtained were significant and in the order of those reported in the literature.

Abstract
Microorganisms can produce a wide range of bio-based chemicals that can be used in various industrial applications as molecules of interest. In the present work, an analysis of the power production by pure culture, co-culture, and sequential culture was performed. In this study, both the mono-culture and the co-culture strategies of Actinobacillus succinogenes with Saccharomyces cerevisiae as carbon sources to produce succinic acid using glucose and fructose were examined. The cultures were performed in batch mode and a great attention was paid to the co-culture system to improve the biosynthetic pathway between A. succinogenes and S. cerevisiae by combining these two strains in a single fermentation process. Under microaerobic and anaerobic conditions, the process was characterized in terms of sugars concentration, cell density, metabolites, yield (mol-C products/ mol-C sugars), the temperature conditions for productivity, and pH. The results showed that the process could consume glucose and fructose and could adapt to different concentrations of the two sugars more quickly than by a single organism and the best results were obtained in a sequential co-culture recording 0.27 mol L-1 of succinic acid concentration and a volumetric productivity of 0.3 g L-1 h-1. Under the investigated operating conditions, the combination of these two strains in a single reactor produced a significant amount of succinic acid (0.70 mol-C SA/mol-C substrates). A simultaneous and sequential co-culture strategy can be a powerful new approach in the field of bio-based chemical production.

Abstract
To optimize the artificial rumen microorganism sources and develop a stable artificial rumen system, batch and continuous operation were investigated with corn straw and food waste as substrates. The batch trials evaluated the volatile fatty acid (VFA) yield, biogas production, and lignocellulose degradation efficiency. The continuous test evaluated the performance of the artificial cow and sheep rumen systems using a dynamic membrane bioreactor (DMBR) with a stepwise organic loading rate at mesophilic temperature. The anaerobic digestion (AD) of the lignocellulose biomass after rumen fermentation pretreatment and of the permeate from the artificial rumen system were also evaluated for CH4 production. The results indicated that the cow rumen microorganisms were more suitable than sheep rumen microorganisms for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment and maximized the CH4 yield through the AD process without inhibition. After approximately four months of continuous operation, a stable and continuous artificial rumen system for lignocellulosic biomass degradation was achieved with cow rumen fluid as inoculum. Based on analysis of the core lignocellulose-degrading enzyme levels and gel filtration chromatography, the cow rumen microorganisms could secrete more extracellular multienzyme complexes to hydrolyze lignocellulosic biomass than the sheep rumen microorganisms in vitro. During the batch and continuous operations, a high diversity and similar richness of bacteria and fungi demonstrated that the cow rumen microorganisms can be used as a preferred inoculum for the artificial rumen system. The use of an artificial cow rumen system with a DMBR is a promising way to construct a stable and continuous artificial rumen system to biodegrade lignocellulosic biomass for biogas production.

Abstract
Production of bio-based alternative of succinic acid (SA) has been growing due to the awareness on environmental advantages it offers, such as CO2 sequestration. Current study focuses on evaluating the impact of different CO2 partial pressures (0.6, 0.8, 1, 2 bar) on SA production and yield as well as on other parameters like acids profile and CO2 fixation rate in Citrobacter amalonaticus. Increasing partial pressure to 2 bar enhanced SA production and maximum of 14.86 gL-1 was achieved with a productivity of 0.36 gL-1h-1 and yield of 52.10%. Varying partial pressures depicted significant influence on total acids profile, where at lower pressures (0.6 bar) lactic (5.6 gL-1) and acetic acids (4.1 gL-1) became dominant products, while concentration of SA was 2.07 gL-1, by the end of cycle. The desirable effect of moderately elevated pressures for converting CO2 to platform chemicals can be a potential strategy in overcoming current challenges related to CO2 abatement.

Abstract
Rumen fermentation is known to be effective for lignocellulosic-wastes biodegradation to certain extent but it is still unclear if there exists a termination of the microorganisms' action to further degrade the bio-refractory fractions. In order to illuminate the related microbiological characteristics, experiments were conducted in a prolonged duration of rumen fermentation of mechanically ruptured wheat straw, with inoculation of cow rumen microorganisms in vitro. Although the organic wastes could not be biodegraded quickly, continuous conversion of the lignocellulosic contents to volatile fatty acids and biogas proceeded in the duration of more than three months, resulting in 96-97% cellulose and hemicellulose decomposition, and 42% lignin decomposition. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy further demonstrated the characteristics of lignocellulosic structure decomposition. Under the actions of cow rumen microorganisms, stable pH was maintained in the fermentation liquid, along with a steady NH4+-N, volatile fatty acids accumulation, and a large buffering ability. It was identified by enzyme analysis and Illumina MiSeq sequencing that the rich core lignocellulolytic enzymes secreted by the abundant and diverse rumen bacteria and fungi contributed to the persistent degradation of lignocellulosic wastes. Members of the Clostridiales order and Basidiomycota phylum were found to be the dominant lignocellulolytic bacteria and fungi, respectively. It could thus be inferred that the main lignocellulose degradation processes were a series of catalytic reactions under the actions of lignocellulolytic enzymes secreted from bacteria and fungi. The dominant hydrogenotrophic methanogens (Methanomassiliicoccus, Methanobrevibacter, Methanosphaera, and Methanoculleus) in the rumen could also assist CH4 production if the rumen fermentation was followed with anaerobic digestion.

Abstract
Biological sequestration of CO2 for generating value added products is an emerging strategy. Succinic acid (SA) is an important C4 building block chemical, and its biological production via CO2 sequestration, holds many practical applications. This study presents an in-depth insight on SA production using isolated strain belonging to genus Citrobacter, more closely related to Citrobacter amalonaticus by considering critical process parameters such as different carbon sources at various initial concentrations, buffering agent (NaHCO3) concentrations and different pH conditions. The effect of H2 gas as an electron donor and availability of CO2 during SA production was also evaluated. The results from this work demonstrated that the isolated strain depicted the ability to utilize diverse carbon sources and highest SA production was achieved with sucrose as a substrate, indicating that reduced carbon substrates help in maximizing the redox potential. Incorporation of CO2 and H2 not only enhanced the production of SA but also affected the total acids profile favoring the production of SA over lactic, formic and acetic acids. Additional supply of CO2 and H2 led to maximum SA production of 12.07 gL-1, productivity of 0.36 gL-1 h-1 and SA yield of 48.5%. In control operation when no gases were supplied and in other test conditions where either of the gases were supplied, lactic acid was the major end product followed by acetic acid. The positive effect of CO2 for SA production provides scope for sustainable integration of SA and the CO2-generating biofuel industries or industrial side streams.

Abstract
In this study, the potential of oil palm trunk (OPT) sap as a sole substrate for succinic acid (SA) production was evaluated using Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z. After OPT sap was characterised, the effects of adding carbonate, yeast extract (YE) and minerals to this medium were investigated in an attempt to develop a low-cost fermentation medium. The OPT sap alone, gave comparable SA yield and productivity (0.54 g/g and 0.35 g/L/h) to those supplemented with YE (0.50 g/g and 0.36 g/L/h) and minerals (0.55 g/g and 0.40 g/L/h). The findings showed that OPT sap has sufficient amount of nutrients for SA biosynthesis by A. succinogenes 130Z and could potentially reduce cost without requiring expensive nutrients supplementation.

Abstract
Due to environmental issues and the depletion of fossil-based resources, ecofriendly sustainable biomass-based chemical production has been given more attention recently. Succinic acid (SA) is one of the top value added bio-based chemicals. It can be synthesized through microbial fermentation using various waste steam bioresources. Production of chemicals from waste streams has dual function as it alleviates environmental concerns; they could have caused because of their improper disposal and transform them into valuable products. To date, Actinobacillus succinogenes is termed as the best natural SA producer. However, few reviews regarding SA production by A. succinogenes were reported. Herewith, pathways and metabolic engineering strategies, biomass pretreatment and utilization, and process optimization related with SA fermentation by A. succinogenes were discussed in detail. In general, this review covered vital information including merits, achievements, progresses, challenges, and future perspectives in SA production using A. succinogenes. Therefore, it is believed that this review will provide platform to understand the potential of the strain and tackle existing hurdles so as to develop superior strain for industrial applications. It will also be used as a baseline for identification, isolation, and improvement of other SA-producing microbes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Actinobacillus succinogenes is a promising bacterial catalyst for the bioproduction of succinic acid from low-cost raw materials. In this work, a genome-scale metabolic model was reconstructed and used to assess the metabolic capabilities of this microorganism under producing conditions. RESULTS The model, iBP722, was reconstructed based on the functional reannotation of the complete genome sequence of A. succinogenes 130Z and manual inspection of metabolic pathways, covering 1072 enzymatic reactions associated with 722 metabolic genes that involve 713 metabolites. The highly curated model was effective in capturing the growth of A. succinogenes on various carbon sources, as well as the SA production under various growth conditions with fair agreement between experimental and predicted data. Calculated flux distributions under different conditions show that a number of metabolic pathways are affected by the activity of some metabolic enzymes at key nodes in metabolism, including the transport mechanism of carbon sources and the ability to fix carbon dioxide. CONCLUSIONS The established genome-scale metabolic model can be used for model-driven strain design and medium alteration to improve succinic acid yields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The production of value-added chemicals alongside biofuels from lignocellulosic hydrolysates is critical for developing economically viable biorefineries. Here, the production of propionic acid (PA), a potential building block for C3-based chemicals, from corn stover hydrolysate is investigated using the native PA-producing bacterium Propionibacterium acidipropionici. RESULTS A wide range of culture conditions and process parameters were examined and experimentally optimized to maximize titer, rate, and yield of PA. The effect of gas sparging during fermentation was first examined, and N2 was found to exhibit improved performance over CO2. Subsequently, the effects of different hydrolysate concentrations, nitrogen sources, and neutralization agents were investigated. One of the best combinations found during batch experiments used yeast extract (YE) as the primary nitrogen source and NH4OH for pH control. This combination enabled PA titers of 30.8 g/L with a productivity of 0.40 g/L h from 76.8 g/L biomass sugars, while successfully minimizing lactic acid production. Due to the economic significance of downstream separations, increasing titers using fed-batch fermentation was examined by changing both feeding media and strategy. Continuous feeding of hydrolysate was found to be superior to pulsed feeding and combined with high YE concentrations increased PA titers to 62.7 g/L and improved the simultaneous utilization of different biomass sugars. Additionally, applying high YE supplementation maintains the lactic acid concentration below 4 g/L for the duration of the fermentation. Finally, with the aim of increasing productivity, high cell density fed-batch fermentations were conducted. PA titers increased to 64.7 g/L with a productivity of 2.35 g/L h for the batch stage and 0.77 g/L h for the overall process. CONCLUSION These results highlight the importance of media and fermentation strategy to improve PA production. Overall, this work demonstrates the feasibility of producing PA from corn stover hydrolysate.

Abstract
The fermentation of succinic acid from fresh cassava root using Actinobacillus succinogenes ATCC55618, and the recovery of the product using crystallization were investigated. Fresh cassava root is an ideal succinic acid feedstock due to its low price and high starch content. Saccharification was carried out using commercially available enzymes and diammonium phosphate was used as an inexpensive nitrogen source. Different fermentation modes were compared in terms of product yield and productivity. Results for fed-batch fermentations showed that a succinic acid titer of 151.44g/L, with yield and productivity of 1.51gSA/gglucose and 3.22g/L/h could be obtained. Seeded batch cooling crystallization was investigated after pre-treatment using nanofiltration. A succinic acid crystal purity of 99.35% with a relative crystallinity of 96.77% was obtained from high seeding experiments. These results indicated that fresh cassava roots could be an economically alternative feedstock for a high quality succinic acid production.

Abstract
Carob pods are an inexpensive by-product of locust bean gum industry that can be used as renewable feedstock for bio-based succinic acid. Here, for the first time, unprocessed raw carob pods were used to extract a highly enriched sugar solution, afterwards used as substrate to produce succinic acid using Actinobacillus succinogenes. Batch fermentations containing 30g/L sugars resulted in a production rate of 1.67gSA/L.h and a yield of 0.39gSA/g sugars. Taking advantage of A. succinogenes' metabolism, uncoupling cell growth from succinic acid production, a fed-batch mode was implemented to increase succinic acid yield and reduce by-products formation. This strategy resulted in a succinic acid yield of 0.94gSA/g sugars, the highest yield reported in the literature for fed-batch and continuous experiments, while maintaining by-products at residual values. Results demonstrate that raw carob pods are a highly efficient feedstock for bio-based succinic acid production.

Abstract
Background Succinate has been identified by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of the top 12 building block chemicals, which can be used as a specialty chemical in the agricultural, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Escherichia coli are now one of the most important succinate producing candidates. However, the stoichiometric maximum succinate yield under anaerobic conditions through the reductive branch of the TCA cycle is restricted by NADH supply in E. coli. Results In the present work, we report a rational approach to increase succinate yield by regulating NADH supply via pentose phosphate (PP) pathway and enhancing flux towards succinate. The deregulated genes zwf243 (encoding glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and gnd361 (encoding 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) involved in NADPH generation from Corynebacterium glutamicum were firstly introduced into E. coli for succinate production. Co-expression of beneficial mutated dehydrogenases, which removed feedback inhibition in the oxidative part of the PP pathway, increased succinate yield from 1.01 to 1.16 mol/mol glucose. Three critical genes, pgl (encoding 6-phosphogluconolactonase), tktA (encoding transketolase) and talB (encoding transaldolase) were then overexpressed to redirect more carbon flux towards PP pathway and further improved succinate yield to 1.21 mol/mol glucose. Furthermore, introducing Actinobacillus succinogenes pepck (encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase) together with overexpressing sthA (encoding soluble transhydrogenase), further increased succinate yield to 1.31 mol/mol glucose. In addition, removing byproduct formation through inactivating acetate formation genes ackA-pta and heterogenously expressing pyc (encoding pyruvate carboxylase) from C. glutamicum led to improved succinate yield to 1.4 mol/mol glucose. Finally, synchronously overexpressing dcuB and dcuC encoding succinate exporters enhanced succinate yield to 1.54 mol/mol glucose, representing 52 % increase relative to the parent strain and amounting to 90 % of the strain-specific stoichiometric maximum (1.714 mol/mol glucose). Conclusions It’s the first time to rationally regulate pentose phosphate pathway to improve NADH supply for succinate synthesis in E. coli. 90 % of stoichiometric maximum succinate yield was achieved by combining further flux increase towards succinate and engineering its export. Regulation of NADH supply via PP pathway is therefore recommended for the production of products that are NADH-demanding in E. coli.

Abstract
Abstract
Succinic acid production from the monosaccharides xylose, arabinose, glucose, mannose and galactose was studied using the bacterium Actinobacillus succinogenes. In Duran bottle cultures, containing 10 g/L of each of sugar, succinic acid was produced from all sugars except for galactose. The highest succinate yield, 0.56 g/g, was obtained with glucose, whereas the succinate yield was 0.42, 0.38 and 0.44 g/g for xylose, mannose and arabinose, respectively. The specific succinate productivity was 0.7 g/g h for glucose, but below 0.2 g/g h for the other sugars. Batch bioreactor fermentations were carried out using a sugar mixture of the five sugars giving a total concentration of 50 g/L, mimicking the distribution of sugars in spent sulfite liquor (SSL) from Eucalyptus which is rich in xylose. In this mixture, an almost complete conversion of all sugars (except galactose) was achieved resulting in a final succinate concentration of 21.8–26.8 g/L and a total yield of 0.59–0.68 g/g. There was evidence of co-consumption of glucose and xylose, whereas mannose was consumed after glucose. The main by-products were acetate 0.14–0.20 g/g and formate 0.08–0.13 g/g. NADH balance calculations suggested that NADH required for succinate production was not met solely from formate and acetate production, but other means of NADH production was necessary. Results from mixed sugar fermentations were verified using SSL as substrate resulting in a succinate yield of 0.60 g/g. In addition, it was found that CO2 sparging could replace carbonate supply in the form of MgCO3 without affecting the succinate yield.

Abstract
Biogas is an attractive renewable energy carrier. However, it contains CO2 which limits its use for certain applications. Here we report a novel approach for removing CO2 from biogas and capturing it as a biochemical through a biological process. This approach entails converting CO2 into biosuccinic acid using the bacterial strain Actinobacillus succinogenes 130 Z, and simultaneously producing high-purity CH4 (> 95%). Results showed that when pressure during fermentation was increased from 101.325 to 140 kPa, higher CO2 solubility was achieved, thereby positively affecting final succinic acid yield and titer, CO2 consumption rate, and CH4 purity. When using biogas as the only CO2 source at 140 kPa, the CO2 consumption rate corresponded to 2.59 L CO2 L(-1) d(-1) with a final succinic acid titer of 14.4 g L(-1). Under this pressure condition, the highest succinic acid yield and biogas quality reached corresponded to 0.635 g g(-1) and 95.4% (v v(-1)) CH4 content, respectively, after 24 h fermentation. This work represents the first successful attempt to develop a system capable of upgrading biogas to vehicle fuel/gas grid quality and simultaneously produce biosuccinic acid, a valuable building block with large market potential in the near term.

Abstract
Carob pods are a by-product of locust bean gum industry containing more than 50% (w/w) sucrose, glucose and fructose. In this work, carob pod water extracts were used, for the first time, for succinic acid production by Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z. Kinetic studies of glucose, fructose and sucrose consumption as individual carbon sources till 30g/L showed no inhibition on cell growth, sugar consumption and SA production rates. Sugar extraction from carob pods was optimized varying solid/liquid ratio and extraction time, maximizing sugar recovery while minimizing the extraction of polyphenols. Batch fermentations containing 10-15g/L total sugars resulted in a maximum specific SA production rate of 0.61Cmol/Cmol X.h, with a yield of 0.55Cmol SA/Cmol sugar and a volumetric productivity of 1.61g SA/L.h. Results demonstrate that carob pods can be a promising low cost feedstock for bio-based SA production.

Abstract
Different microbial pathways can elongate the carbon chains of molecules in open cultures of microbial populations (i.e. reactor microbiomes) under anaerobic conditions. Here, we discuss three such pathways: 1. homoacetogenesis to combine two carbon dioxide molecules into acetate; 2. succinate formation to elongate glycerol with one carbon from carbon dioxide; and 3. reverse β oxidation to elongate short-chain carboxylates with two carbons into medium-chain carboxylates, leading to more energy-dense and insoluble products (e.g. easier to separate from solution). The ability to use reactor microbiomes to treat complex substrates can simultaneously address two pressing issues: 1. providing proper waste management; and 2. producing renewable chemicals and fuels.

Abstract
As a potential intermediary feedstock, succinic acid takes an important place in bulk chemical productions. For the first time, a method combining Plackett-Burman design (PBD), steepest ascent method (SA), and Box-Behnken design (BBD) was developed to optimize Actinobacillus succinogenes ATCC 55618 fermentation medium. First, glucose, yeast extract, and MgCO3 were identified to be key medium components by PBD. Second, preliminary optimization was run by SA method to access the optimal region of the key medium components. Finally, the responses, that is, the production of succinic acid, were optimized simultaneously by using BBD, and the optimal concentration was located to be 84.6 g L−1 of glucose, 14.5 g L−1 of yeast extract, and 64.7 g L−1 of MgCO3. Verification experiment indicated that the maximal succinic acid production of 52.7 ± 0.8 g L−1 was obtained under the identified optimal conditions. The result agreed with the predicted value well. Compared with that of the basic medium, the production of succinic acid and yield of succinic acid against glucose were enhanced by 67.3% and 111.1%, respectively. The results obtained in this study may be useful for the industrial commercial production of succinic acid.

Abstract
The rumen is one of the most complicated and most fascinating microbial ecosystems in nature. A wide variety of microbial species, including bacteria, fungi and protozoa act together to bioconvert (ligno)cellulosic plant material into compounds, which can be taken up and metabolized by the ruminant. Thus, the rumen perfectly resembles a solution to a current industrial problem: the biorefinery, which aims at the bioconversion of lignocellulosic material into fuels and chemicals. We suggest to intensify the studies of the ruminal microbial ecosystem from an industrial microbiologists point of view in order to make use of this rich source of organisms and enzymes.
