[PMID: 37329990 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Byproduct (acetate and ethanol) generation and carbon catabolite repression are two critical impediments to lactic acid production from the hemicellulose of lignocellulosic biomass. To reduce byproduct generations, acid pretreatment with high solid loading (solid-liquid ratio 1:7) of garden garbage was conducted. The byproduct yield was only 0.30 g/g during in the subsequent lactic acid fermentation from acid pretreatment liquid and 40.8% lower than that of low solid loading (0.48 g/g). Furthermore, semi-hydrolysis with low enzyme loading (10 FPU/g garden garbage cellulase) was conducted to regulate and reduce glucose concentration in the hydrolysate, thereby relieving carbon catabolite repression. During the lactic acid fermentation process, the xylose conversion rate was restored from 48.2% (glucose-oriented hydrolysis) to 85.7%, eventually achieving a 0.49 g/g lactic acid yield of hemicellulose. Additionally, RNA-seq revealed that semi-hydrolysis with low enzyme loading down-regulated the expression of ptsH and ccpA, thereby relieving carbon catabolite repression.

Abstract
Hemicellulose is the second most abundant carbohydrate in lignocellulosic biomass and has extensive applications. In conventional biomass refinery, hemicellulose is easily converted to unwanted by-products in pretreatment and therefore can't be fully utilized. The present study aims to summarize the most recent development of lignocellulosic polysaccharide degradation and fully convert it to value-added bioproducts through microbial and enzymatic catalysis. Firstly, bioprocess and microbial metabolic engineering for enhanced utilization of lignocellulosic carbohydrates were discussed. The bioprocess for degradation and conversion of natural lignocellulose to monosaccharides and organic acids using anaerobic thermophilic bacteria and thermostable glycoside hydrolases were summarized. Xylose transmembrane transporting systems in natural microorganisms and the latest strategies for promoting the transporting capacity by metabolic engineering were summarized. The carbon catabolite repression effect restricting xylose utilization in microorganisms, and metabolic engineering strategies developed for co-utilization of glucose and xylose were discussed. Secondly, the metabolic pathways of xylose catabolism in microorganisms were comparatively analyzed. Microbial metabolic engineering for converting xylose to value-added bioproducts based on redox pathways, non-redox pathways, pentose phosphate pathway, and improving inhibitors resistance were summarized. Thirdly, strategies for degrading lignocellulosic polysaccharides and fully converting hemicellulose to value-added bioproducts through microbial metabolic engineering were proposed.

Microb Cell Fact 2022; 21:154. [PMID: 35933385 PMCID: PMC9356451 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-022-01879-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sugar hydrolysates from lignocellulosic biomass are majorly composed of glucose and xylose that can be fermented to biofuels. Bacteria, despite having the natural ability to consume xylose are unable to consume it in presence of glucose due to a carbon catabolite repression (CCR) mechanism. This leads to overall reduced productivity as well as incomplete xylose utilization due to ethanol build-up from glucose utilization. In our effort to develop a strain for simultaneous fermentation of glucose and xylose into ethanol, we deleted ptsG in ethanologenic E. coli SSK42 to make it deficient in CCR and performed adaptive laboratory evolution to achieve accelerated growth rate, sugar consumption and ethanol production. Finally, we performed proteomics study to identify changes that might have been responsible for the observed improved phenotype of the evolved strain. RESULTS The parental strain of SSK42, i.e., wild-type E. coli B, did not co-utilize glucose and xylose as expected. After deleting the ptsG gene encoding the EIIBCGlc subunit of PTS system, glucose consumption is severely affected in wild-type E. coli B. However, the ethanologenic, SSK42 strain, which was evolved in our earlier study on both glucose and xylose, didn't show such a drastic effect of EIIBCGlc deletion, instead consumed glucose first, followed by xylose without delay for switching from one sugar to another. To improve growth on xylose and co-utilization capabilities, the ptsG deleted SSK42 was evolved on xylose. The strain evolved for 78 generations, strain SCD78, displayed significant co-utilization of glucose and xylose sugars. At the bioreactor level, the strain SCD78 produced 3-times the ethanol titer of the parent strain with significant glucose-xylose co-utilization. The rate of glucose and xylose consumption also increased 3.4-fold and 3-fold, respectively. Proteome data indicates significant upregulation of TCA cycle proteins, respiration-related proteins, and some transporters, which may have a role in increasing the total sugar consumption and co-utilization of sugars. CONCLUSION Through adaptive evolution, we have obtained a strain that has a significant glucose-xylose co-utilization phenotype with 3-fold higher total sugar consumption rate and ethanol production rate compared to the unevolved strain. This study also points out that adaptation on xylose is enough to impart glucose-xylose co-utilization property in CCR compromised ethanologenic strain SSK42.

Abstract
Background Owing to increasing concerns about climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels, the development of efficient microbial processes for biochemical production from lignocellulosic biomass has been a key issue. Because process efficiency is greatly affected by the inherent metabolic activities of host microorganisms, it is essential to utilize a microorganism that can rapidly convert biomass-derived sugars. Here, we report a novel Vibrio-based microbial platform that can rapidly and simultaneously consume three major lignocellulosic sugars (i.e., glucose, xylose, and arabinose) faster than any previously reported microorganisms. Results The xylose isomerase pathway was constructed in Vibrio sp. dhg, which naturally displays high metabolic activities on glucose and arabinose but lacks xylose catabolism. Subsequent adaptive laboratory evolution significantly improved xylose catabolism of initial strain and led to unprecedently high growth and sugar uptake rate (0.67 h−1 and 2.15 g gdry cell weight−1 h−1, respectively). Furthermore, we achieved co-consumption of the three sugars by deletion of PtsG and introduction of GalP. We validated its superior performance and applicability by demonstrating efficient lactate production with high productivity (1.15 g/L/h) and titer (83 g/L). Conclusions In this study, we developed a Vibrio-based microbial platform with rapid and simultaneous utilization of the three major sugars from lignocellulosic biomass by applying an integrated approach of rational and evolutionary engineering. We believe that the developed strain can be broadly utilized to accelerate the production of diverse biochemicals from lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Chemical resources and techniques have long been used in the history of bulk polyester production and still dominate today's chemical industry. The sustainable development of the polyester industry demands more renewable resources and environmentally benign polyester products. Accordingly, the rapid development of biotechnology has enabled the production of an extensive range of aliphatic and aromatic polyesters from renewable bio-feedstocks. This review addresses the production of representative commercial polyesters (polyhydroxyalkanoates, polylactic acid, poly ε-caprolactone, polybutylene succinate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polypropylene terephthalate, polyethylene furandicarboxylate, polypropylene furandicarboxylate, and polybutylene furandicarboxylate) or their monomers (lactic acid, succinic acid, 1,4-butanediol, ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, 1,3-propanediol, and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid) from renewable bioresources. In addition, this review summarizes advanced biotechniques in the treatment of polyester wastes, representing the near-term trends and future opportunities for waste-to-value recycling and the remediation of polyester wastes under sustainable models. For future prospects, it is essential to further expand: non-food bioresources, optimize bioprocesses and biotechniques in the preparation of bioderived or biodegradable polyesters with promising: material performance, biodegradability, and low production cost.

Valorisation of xylose to renewable fuels and chemicals, an essential step in augmenting the commercial viability of lignocellulosic biorefineries. SUSTAINABLE ENERGY & FUELS 2021; 6:29-65.

Abstract
Biologists and engineers are making tremendous efforts in contributing to a sustainable and green society. To that end, there is growing interest in waste management and valorisation. Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is the most abundant material on the earth and an inevitable waste predominantly originating from agricultural residues, forest biomass and municipal solid waste streams. LCB serves as the renewable feedstock for clean and sustainable processes and products with low carbon emission. Cellulose and hemicellulose constitute the polymeric structure of LCB, which on depolymerisation liberates oligomeric or monomeric glucose and xylose, respectively. The preferential utilization of glucose and/or absence of the xylose metabolic pathway in microbial systems cause xylose valorization to be alienated and abandoned, a major bottleneck in the commercial viability of LCB-based biorefineries. Xylose is the second most abundant sugar in LCB, but a non-conventional industrial substrate unlike glucose. The current review seeks to summarize the recent developments in the biological conversion of xylose into a myriad of sustainable products and associated challenges. The review discusses the microbiology, genetics, and biochemistry of xylose metabolism with hurdles requiring debottlenecking for efficient xylose assimilation. It further describes the product formation by microbial cell factories which can assimilate xylose naturally and rewiring of metabolic networks to ameliorate xylose-based bioproduction in native as well as non-native strains. The review also includes a case study that provides an argument on a suitable pathway for optimal cell growth and succinic acid (SA) production from xylose through elementary flux mode analysis. Finally, a product portfolio from xylose bioconversion has been evaluated along with significant developments made through enzyme, metabolic and process engineering approaches, to maximize the product titers and yield, eventually empowering LCB-based biorefineries. Towards the end, the review is wrapped up with current challenges, concluding remarks, and prospects with an argument for intense future research into xylose-based biorefineries.

Abstract
Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), a novel functional food and feed ingredient, can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, spent mushroom substrate (SMS) gathered after Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation was investigated for its potential as a new raw material for XOS production using crude xylanases produced in-house from Aspergillus flavus KUB2. Xylan was extracted from SMS using the alkaline extraction method. The highest true recovery of xylan (20.76%) and the relative recovery of xylan (83.73%) were obtained from SMS extracted with 4 M NaOH. Enzymatic hydrolysis of SMS-extracted xylan using crude fungal xylanases from A. flavus KUB2 produced a maximum total XOS in the range 1.37-1.48 mg/ml, which was mainly composed of XOS with a low degree of polymerization (xylobiose and xylotriose). XOS derived from SMS-extracted xylan positively influenced the growth of probiotic bacteria, suggesting the prebiotic nature of XOS. The results indicated that XOS with prebiotic properties can be produced from SMS xylan using crude xylanases without any purification, which offers economic potential for food and feed applications.

Combining metabolic engineering and evolutionary adaptation in Klebsiella oxytoca KMS004 to significantly improve optically pure D-(-)-lactic acid yield and specific productivity in low nutrient medium. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:9565-9579.

Abstract
In this study, K. oxytoca KMS004 (ΔadhE Δpta-ackA) was further reengineered by the deletion of frdABCD and pflB genes to divert carbon flux through D-(-)-lactate production. During fermentation of high glucose concentration, the resulted strain named K. oxytoca KIS004 showed poor in growth and glucose consumption due to its insufficient capacity to generate acetyl-CoA for biosynthesis. Evolutionary adaptation was thus employed with the strain to overcome impaired growth and acetate auxotroph. The evolved K. oxytoca KIS004-91T strain exhibited significantly higher glucose-utilizing rate and D-(-)-lactate production as a primary route to regenerate NAD+. D-(-)-lactate at concentration of 133 g/L (1.48 M), with yield and productivity of 0.98 g/g and 2.22 g/L/h, respectively, was obtained by the strain. To the best of our knowledge, this strain provided a relatively high specific productivity of 1.91 g/gCDW/h among those of other previous works. Cassava starch was also used to demonstrate a potential low-cost renewable substrate for D-(-)-lactate production. Production cost of D-(-)-lactate was estimated at $3.72/kg. Therefore, it is possible for the KIS004-91T strain to be an alternative biocatalyst offering a more economically competitive D-(-)-lactate production on an industrial scale. KEY POINTS: • KIS004-91T produced optically pure D-(-)-lactate up to 1.48 M in a low salts medium. • It possessed the highest specific D-(-)-lactate productivity than other reported strains. • Cassava starch as a cheap and renewable substrate was used for D-(-)-lactate production. • Costs related to media, fermentation, purification, and waste disposal were reduced.

Abstract
Glucose and xylose are the major hydrolysates of lignocellulose, and therefore, it is of great implication to identify the microbes involved in simultaneous utilization of glucose and xylose. In this study, the strain ZZ-46 isolated from the soil of Nanyang, China, could simultaneously assimilate glucose and xylose efficiently to produce lipid. Upon cultivation with a 2:1 glucose/xylose mixture as the carbon source for 144 h, the cell biomass, lipid concentration, lipid content, and lipid yield of ZZ-46 reached 19.85 ± 0.39 g/L, 9.53 ± 0.60 g/L, 48.05 ± 3.51%, and 0.142 ± 0.003 g/g sugar, respectively. Moreover, C16 and C18 fatty acids were the main constituents of lipid produced by ZZ-46. In addition, ZZ-46 was identified as Cutaneotrichosporon dermatis by the morphology features and phylogenetic analyses. The strain ZZ-46 would have good perspective in practical application for converting lignocellulose into microbial lipid.

Abstract
The utilisation of waste materials and industrial residues became a priority within the bioeconomy concept and the production of biobased chemicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility to continuously produce L-lactic acid from different renewable substrates, in a multi-substrate strategy mode. Based on batch experiments observations, Bacillus coagulans A534 strain was able to continuously metabolise acid whey, sugar beet molasses, sugar bread, alfalfa press green juice and tapioca starch. Additionally, reference experiments showed its behaviour in standard medium. Continuous fermentations indicated that the highest productivity was achieved when molasses was employed with a value of 10.34 g·L−1·h−1, while the lactic acid to sugar conversion yield was 0.86 g·g−1. This study demonstrated that LA can be efficiently produced in continuous mode regardless the substrate, which is a huge advantage in comparison to other platform chemicals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The simultaneous and effective conversion of both pentose and hexose in fermentation is a critical and challenging task toward the lignocellulosic economy. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of an innovative co-fermentation process featuring with a cell recycling unit (CF/CR) for mixed sugar utilization. A l-lactic acid-producing strain Enterococcus mundtii QU 25 was applied in the continuous fermentation process, and the mixed sugars were utilized at different productivities after the flowing conditions were changed. A mathematical model was constructed with the experiments to optimize the biological process and clarify the cell metabolism through kinetics analysis. The structured model, kinetic parameters, and achievement of the fermentation strategy shall provide new insights toward whole sugar fermentation via real-time monitoring for process control and optimization. RESULTS Significant carbon catabolite repression in co-fermentation using a glucose/xylose mixture was overcome by replacing glucose with cellobiose, and the ratio of consumed pentose to consumed hexose increased significantly from 0.096 to 0.461 by mass. An outstanding product concentration of 65.2 g L-1 and productivity of 13.03 g L-1 h-1 were achieved with 50 g L-1 cellobiose and 30 g L-1 xylose at an optimized dilution rate of 0.2 h-1, and the cell retention time gradually increased. Among the total lactic acid production, xylose contributed to more than 34% of the mixed sugars, which was close to the related contents in agricultural residuals. The model successfully simulated the transition of sugar consumption, cell growth, and lactic acid production among the batch, continuous process, and CF/CR systems. CONCLUSION Cell retention time played a critical role in balancing pentose and hexose consumption, cell decay, and lactic acid production in the CF/CR process. With increasing cell concentration, consumption of mixed sugars increased with the productivity of the final product; hence, the impact of substrate inhibition was reduced. With the validated parameters, the model showed the highest accuracy simulating the CF/CR process, and significantly longer cell retention times compared to hydraulic retention time were tested.

Abstract
In this study, a non-sterile (open) continuous fermentation (OCF) process with no-carbon loss was developed to improve lactic acid (LA) productivity and operational stability from the co-utilization of lignocellulose-derived sugars by thermophilic Enterococcus faecium QU 50. The effects of different sugar mixtures on LA production were firstly investigated in conventional OCF at 50°C, pH 6.5 and a dilution rate of 0.20 hr-1 . The xylose consumption ratio was greatly lower than that of glucose in fermentations with glucose/xylose mixtures, indicating apparent carbon catabolite repression (CCR). However, CCR could be efficiently eliminated by feeding solutions containing the cellobiose/xylose mixture. In OCF at a dilution rate ca. 0.10 hr-1 , strain QU 50 produced 42.6 g L-1 of l-LA with a yield of 0.912 g g-1 -consumed sugars, LA yield of 0.655 g g-1 based on mixed sugar-loaded, and a productivity of 4.31 g L-1 hr-1 from simulated energy cane hydrolyzate. In OCF with high cell density by cell recycling, simultaneous and complete co-utilization of sugars was achieved with stable LA production at 60.1 ± 3.25 g L-1 with LA yield of 0.944 g g-1 -consumed sugar and LA productivity of 6.49 ± 0.357 g L-1 hr-1 . Besides this, a dramatic increase in LA yield of 0.927 g g-1 based on mixed sugar-loaded with prolonged operational stability for at least 500 hr (>20 days) was established. This robust system demonstrates an initial green step with a no-carbon loss under energy-saving toward the feasibility of sustainable LA production from lignocellulosic sugars.

Abstract
In this work, d-lactic acid production was evaluated from a simulated hydrolysate of corn stover (32 g/L xylose, 42 g/L glucose) with the metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strain JU15. Based on the experimental results, a technical and economic analysis of the entire process was performed using the Aspen Plus software. As a result, it was possible to show that the strain can efficiently produce lactic acid from both sugars, reaching a final concentration of 40 g/L and a yield of 0.6 g lactic acid/g sugars. The process is economically viable at higher scales of 1000 tons/day. The cost distribution is influenced by the scale of the process; on a larger scale, the cost of raw materials represents a higher percentage of total cost than it does on smaller scales. The use of a metabolically engineered strain allows a better use of the sugars obtained from agroindustrial residues.

Abstract
Anaerobic fermentation is a favorable process for microbial production of bulk chemicals like ethanol and organic acids. Low productivity is the bottleneck of several anaerobic processes which has significant impact on the technique competitiveness of production strain. Improving growth rate of production strain can speed up the total production cycle and may finally increase productivity of anaerobic processes. In this work, evolutionary engineering of wild-type strain Escherichia coli W3110 was adopted to improve anaerobic growth in mineral medium. Significant increases in exponential growth rate and stationary cell density were achieved in evolved strain WE269, and a 96.5% increase in lactate productivity has also been observed in batch fermentation of this strain with M9 minimal medium. Then, an engineered strain for lactate production (BW100) was constructed by using WE269 as a platform and 98.3 g/L lactate (with an optical purity of D-lactate above 95%) was produced in a 5-L bioreactor after 48 h with a productivity of 2.05 g/(L·h). Finally, preliminary investigation demonstrated that mutation in sucD (sucD M245I) (encoding succinyl-CoA synthetase); ilvG (ilvG Δ1bp) (encoding acetolactate synthase 2 catalytic subunit), and rpoB (rpoB T1037P) (encoding RNA polymerase β subunit) significantly improved anaerobic growth of E. coli. Double-gene mutation in ilvG and sucD resumed most of the growth potential of evolved strain WE269. This work suggested that improving anaerobic growth of production host can increase productivity of organic acids like lactate, and specific mutation-enabled improved growth may also be applied to metabolic engineering for production of other bulk chemicals.

Abstract
This review discusses opportunities and bottlenecks for cell factory development of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), with an emphasis on lactobacilli and pediococci, their metabolism and genetic tools. In order to enable economically feasible bio-based production of chemicals and fuels in a biorefinery, the choice of product, substrate and production organism is important. Currently, the most frequently used production hosts include Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but promising examples are available of alternative hosts such as LAB. Particularly lactobacilli and pediococci can offer benefits such as thermotolerance, an extended substrate range and increased tolerance to stresses such as low pH or high alcohol concentrations. This review will evaluate the properties and metabolism of these organisms, and provide an overview of their current biotechnological applications and metabolic engineering. We substantiate the review by including experimental results from screening various lactobacilli and pediococci for transformability, growth temperature range and ability to grow under biotechnologically relevant stress conditions. Since availability of efficient genetic engineering tools is a crucial prerequisite for industrial strain development, genetic tool development is extensively discussed. A range of genetic tools exist for Lactococcus lactis, but for other species of LAB like lactobacilli and pediococci such tools are less well developed. Whereas lactobacilli and pediococci have a long history of use in food and beverage fermentation, their use as platform organisms for production purposes is rather new. By harnessing their properties such as thermotolerance and stress resistance, and by using emerging high-throughput genetic tools, these organisms are very promising as versatile cell factories for biorefinery applications.

Abstract
This study investigated the optimization of D-lactic acid production from unutilized biomass, specifically banana peel and corncob by multiple parallel fermentation (MPF) with Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Aspergillus awamori. The factors involved in MPF that were assessed in this study comprised banana peel and corncob, KH2PO4, Tween 80, MgSO4·7H2O, NaCl, yeast extract, and diammonium hydrogen citrate to identify the optimal concentration for D-lactic acid production. Optimization of these component factors was performed using the Taguchi method with an L8 orthogonal array. The optimal concentrations for the effectiveness of MPF using biomass substrates were as follows: (1) banana peel, D-lactic acid production was 31.8 g/L in medium containing 15 % carbon source, 0.5 % KH2PO4, 0.1 % Tween 80, 0.05 % MgSO4·7H2O, 0.05 % NaCl, 1.5 % yeast extract, and 0.2 % diammonium hydrogen citrate. (2) corncob, D-lactic acid production was 38.3 g/L in medium containing 15 % of a carbon source, 0.5 % KH2PO4, 0.1 % Tween 80, 0.05 % MgSO4·7H2O, 0.1 % NaCl, 1.0 % yeast extract, and 0.4 % diammonium hydrogen citrate. Thus, both banana peel and corncob are unutilized potential resources for D-lactic acid production. These results indicate that MPF using L. mesenteroides and A. awamori could constitute part of a potential industrial application of the currently unutilized banana peel and corncob biomass for D-lactic acid production.

BACKGROUND Glycolysis breakdowns glucose into essential building blocks and ATP/NAD(P)H for the cell, occupying a central role in its growth and bio-production. Among glycolytic pathways, the Entner Doudoroff pathway (EDP) is a more thermodynamically favorable pathway with fewer enzymatic steps than either the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway (EMPP) or the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP). However, Escherichia coli do not use their native EDP for glucose metabolism. RESULTS Overexpression of edd and eda in E. coli to enhance EDP activity resulted in only a small shift in the flux directed through the EDP (~20 % of glycolysis flux). Disrupting the EMPP by phosphofructokinase I (pfkA) knockout increased flux through OPPP (~60 % of glycolysis flux) and the native EDP (~14 % of glycolysis flux), while overexpressing edd and eda in this ΔpfkA mutant directed ~70 % of glycolytic flux through the EDP. The downregulation of EMPP via the pfkA deletion significantly decreased the growth rate, while EDP overexpression in the ΔpfkA mutant failed to improve its growth rates due to metabolic burden. However, the reorganization of E. coli glycolytic strategies did reduce glucose catabolite repression. The ΔpfkA mutant in glucose medium was able to cometabolize acetate via the citric acid cycle and gluconeogenesis, while EDP overexpression in the ΔpfkA mutant repressed acetate flux toward gluconeogenesis. Moreover, 13C-pulse experiments in the ΔpfkA mutants showed unsequential labeling dynamics in glycolysis intermediates, possibly suggesting metabolite channeling (metabolites in glycolysis are pass from enzyme to enzyme without fully equilibrating within the cytosol medium). CONCLUSIONS We engineered E. coli to redistribute its native glycolytic flux. The replacement of EMPP by EDP did not improve E. coli glucose utilization or biomass growth, but alleviated catabolite repression. More importantly, our results supported the hypothesis of channeling in the glycolytic pathways, a potentially overlooked mechanism for regulating glucose catabolism and coutilization of other substrates. The presence of channeling in native pathways, if proven true, would affect synthetic biology applications and metabolic modeling.
