Abstract
Biofuels are considered as a pre-eminent alternate to fossil fuels to meet the demand of future energy supply in a sustainable manner. Conventionally, they are produced from lignocellulosic raw materials. Saccharification of lignocellulosic raw materials for bioethanol production is a cumbersome process as compared to inulin-rich feedstocks. Various inulin-rich feedstocks, viz. jerusalem artichoke, chicory, dahlia, asparagus sp., etc. has also been exploited for the production of biofuels, viz. bioethanol, acetone, butanol, etc. The ubiquitous availability of inulin-rich feedstocks and presence of large amount of inulin makes them a robust substrate for biofuels production. Different strategies, viz. separate hydrolysis and fermentation, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and consolidated bioprocessing have been explored for the conversion of inulin-rich feedstocks into biofuels. These bioprocess strategies are simple and efficient. The present review elaborates the prospective of inulin-rich feedstocks for biofuels production. Bioprocess strategies exploited for the conversion of inulin-rich feedstocks have also been highlighted.

Characterization and modulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress response target genes in Kluyveromyces marxianus to improve secretory expressions of heterologous proteins. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS 2021; 14:236. [PMID: 34906221 PMCID: PMC8670139 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-021-02086-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Kluyveromyces marxianus is a promising cell factory for producing bioethanol and that raised a demand for a high yield of heterologous proteins in this species. Expressions of heterologous proteins usually lead to the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then cause ER stress. To cope with this problem, a group of ER stress response target genes (ESRTs) are induced, mainly through a signaling network called unfolded protein response (UPR). Characterization and modulation of ESRTs direct the optimization of heterologous expressions. However, ESRTs in K. marxianus have not been identified so far. RESULTS In this study, we characterized the ER stress response in K. marxianus for the first time, by using two ER stress-inducing reagents, dithiothreitol (DTT) and tunicamycin (TM). Results showed that the Kar2-Ire1-Hac1 pathway of UPR is well conserved in K. marxianus. About 15% and 6% of genes were upregulated during treatment of DTT and TM, respectively. A total of 115 upregulated genes were characterized as ESRTs, among which 97 genes were identified as UPR target genes and 37 UPR target genes contained UPR elements in their promoters. Genes related to carbohydrate metabolic process and actin filament organization were identified as new types of UPR target genes. A total of 102 ESRTs were overexpressed separately in plasmids and their effects on productions of two different lignocellulolytic enzymes were systematically evaluated. Overexpressing genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, including PDC1, PGK and VID28, overexpressing a chaperone gene CAJ1 or overexpressing a reductase gene MET13 substantially improved secretion expressions of heterologous proteins. Meanwhile, overexpressing a novel gene, KLMA_50479 (named ESR1), as well as overexpressing genes involved in ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD), including HRD3, USA1 andYET3, reduced the secretory expressions. ESR1 and the aforementioned ERAD genes were deleted from the genome. Resultant mutants, except the yet3Δ mutant, substantially improved secretions of three different heterologous proteins. During the fed-batch fermentation, extracellular activities of an endoxylanase and a glucanase in hrd3Δ cells improved by 43% and 28%, respectively, compared to those in wild-type cells. CONCLUSIONS Our results unveil the transcriptional scope of the ER stress response in K. marxianus and suggest efficient ways to improve productions of heterologous proteins by manipulating expressions of ESRTs.

Heterologous production of cellulose- and starch-degrading hydrolases to expand Saccharomyces cerevisiae substrate utilization: Lessons learnt. Biotechnol Adv 2021; 53:107859. [PMID: 34678441 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2021.107859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
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.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2021; 101:2472-2482. [PMID: 33034040 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.10873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2020] [Revised: 10/03/2020] [Accepted: 10/09/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exoinulinase catalyzes the successive removal of individual fructose moiety from the non-reducing end of the inulin molecule, which is useful for biotechnological applications like producing fructan-based non-grain biomass energy and high-fructose syrup. In this study, an exoinulinase (KmINU) from Kluyveromyces marxianus DSM 5418 was tailored for increased catalytic activity and acidic adaptation for inulin hydrolysis processes by rational site-directed mutagenesis. RESULTS Three mutations, S124Y, N158S and Q215V distal to the catalytic residues of KmINU were designed and heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. Compared to the wild-type, S124Y shifted the pH-activity profile towards acidic pH values and increased the catalytic activity and catalytic efficiency by 59% and 99% to 688.4 ± 17.03 s-1 and 568.93 L mmol-1 s-1 , respectively. N158S improved the catalytic activity under acidic pH conditions, giving a maximum value of 464.06 ± 14.06 s-1 on inulin at pH 4.5. Q215V markedly improved the substrate preference for inulin over sucrose by 5.56-fold, and showed catalytic efficiencies of 208.82 and 6.88 L mmol-1 s-1 towards inulin and sucrose, respectively. Molecular modeling and computational docking indicated that structural reorientation may underlie the increased catalytic activity, acidic adaptation and substrate preference. CONCLUSIONS The KmINU mutants may serve as industrially promising candidates for inulin hydrolysis. Protein engineering of exoinulinase here provides a successful example of the extent to which mutating non-conserved substrate recognition and binding residues distal to the active site can be used for industrial enzyme improvements. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Environmental sustainability criteria and rising energy demands, exhaustion of conventional resources of energy followed by environmental degradation due to abrupt climate changes have shifted the attention of scientists to seek renewable sources of green and clean energy for sustainable development. Bioenergy is an excellent alternative since it can be applied for several energy-requirements after utilizing suitable conversion methodology. This review elucidates all aspects of biofuels (bioethanol, biodiesel, and butanol) and their sustainability criteria. The principal focus is on the latest developments in biofuel production chiefly stressing on the role of nanotechnology. A plethora of investigations regarding the emerging techniques for process improvement like integration methods, less energy-intensive distillation techniques, and bioengineering of microorganisms are discussed. This can assist in making biofuel-production in a real-world market more economically and environmentally viable.

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
Inulinases are used for the production of high-fructose syrup and fructooligosaccharides, and are widely utilized in food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, different carbon sources were screened for inulinase production by Aspergillus niger in shake flask fermentation. Optimum working conditions of the enzyme were determined. Additionally, some properties of produced enzyme were determined [activation (Ea)/inactivation (Eia) energies, Q10 value, inactivation rate constant (kd), half-life (t1/2), D value, Z value, enthalpy (ΔH), free energy (ΔG), and entropy (ΔS)]. Results showed that sugar beet molasses (SBM) was the best in the production of inulinase, which gave 383.73 U/mL activity at 30 °C, 200 rpm and initial pH 5.0 for 10 days with 2% (v/v) of the prepared spore solution. Optimum working conditions were 4.8 pH, 60 °C, and 10 min, which yielded 604.23 U/mL, 1.09 inulinase/sucrase ratio, and 2924.39 U/mg. Additionally, Ea and Eia of inulinase reaction were 37.30 and 112.86 kJ/mol, respectively. Beyond 60 °C, Q10 values of inulinase dropped below one. At 70 and 80 °C, t1/2 of inulinase was 33.6 and 7.2 min; therefore, inulinase is unstable at high temperatures, respectively. Additionally, t1/2, D, ΔH, ΔG values of inulinase decreased with the increase in temperature. Z values of inulinase were 7.21 °C. Negative values of ΔS showed that enzymes underwent a significant process of aggregation during denaturation. Consequently, SBM is a promising carbon source for inulinase production by A. niger. Also, this is the first report on the determination of some properties of A. niger A42 (ATCC 204,447) inulinase.

Abstract
Inulin is a naturally occurring second largest storage polysaccharide with a wide range of applications in pharmaceutical and food industries. It is a robust polysaccharide which consists of a linear chain of β-2, 1-linked-d-fructofuranose molecules terminated with α-d-glucose moiety at the reducing end. It is present in tubers, bulbs and tuberous roots of more than 36,000 plants belonging to both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous families. Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, dahlia, asparagus, etc. are important inulin-rich plants. Inulin is a potent substrate and inducer for the production of inulinases. Inulin/inulin-rich feedstocks can be used for the production of fructooligosaccharides and high-fructose syrup. Additionally, inulin-rich feedstocks can also be exploited for the production of other industrially important products like acetone, butanol, bioethanol, single cell proteins, single cell oils, 2, 3-butanediol, sorbitol, mannitol, etc. Current review highlights the biotechnological potential of inulin-rich feedstocks for the production of various industrially important products.

Abstract
The Jerusalem artichoke is a perennial plant that belongs to the sunflower family. As a non-grain crop, Jerusalem artichoke possesses a number of desirable characteristics that make it a valuable feedstock for biorefinery, such as inulin content, rapid growth, strong adaptability, and high yields. This review provides a comprehensive introduction to renewable Jerusalem artichoke-based biomass resources and recent advances in bio-based product conversion. Furthermore, we discuss the latest in the development of inulinase-producing microorganisms and enhanced inulin hydrolysis capacity of microbes by genetic engineering, which lead to a more cost-effective Jerusalem artichoke biorefinery. The review is aimed at promoting Jerusalem artichoke industry and new prospects for higher value-added production.

[PMID: 28888164 DOI: 10.1016/j.copbio.2017.08.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2017] [Revised: 08/14/2017] [Accepted: 08/16/2017] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Bioengineering and synthetic biology approaches have revolutionised the field of biotechnology, enabling the introduction of non-native and de novo pathways for biofuels production. This 'retooling' of microorganisms is also applied to the utilisation of mixed carbon components derived from lignocellulosic biomass, a major technical barrier for the development of economically viable fermentations. This review will discuss recent advances in microorganism engineering for efficient production of alcohols from waste biomass. These advances span the introduction of new pathways to alcohols, host modifications for more cost-effective utilisation of lignocellulosic waste and modifications of existing pathways for generating new fuel additives.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop non-food fermentation for the cost-effective production of poly-(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) using a novel strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NX-2S. The new isolate assimilated inulin more efficiently than other carbohydrates from Jerusalem artichoke, without hydrolytic treatment. To investigate the effect of inulin on γ-PGA production, the transcript levels of γ-PGA synthetase genes (pgsB, pgsC, pgsA), regulatory genes (comA, degQ, degS), and the glutamic acid biosynthesis gene (glnA) were analyzed; inulin addition upregulated these key genes. Without exogenous glutamate, strain NX-2S could produce 6.85±0.22g/L of γ-PGA during fermentation. Exogenous glutamate greatly enhances the γ-PGA yield (39.4±0.38g/L) and productivity (0.43±0.05g/L/h) in batch fermentation. Our study revealed a potential method of non-food fermentation to produce high-value products.

Co-fermentation using Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeast Strains Hyper-secreting Different Cellulases for the Production of Cellulosic Bioethanol. Sci Rep 2017; 7:4428. [PMID: 28667330 PMCID: PMC5493647 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-04815-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2017] [Accepted: 05/19/2017] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
To realize the economical production of ethanol and other bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass by consolidated bioprocessing (CBP), various cellulases from different sources were tested to improve the level of cellulase secretion in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by screening an optimal translational fusion partner (TFP) as both a secretion signal and fusion partner. Among them, four indispensable cellulases for cellulose hydrolysis, including Chaetomium thermophilum cellobiohydrolase (CtCBH1), Chrysosporium lucknowense cellobiohydrolase (ClCBH2), Trichoderma reesei endoglucanase (TrEGL2), and Saccharomycopsis fibuligera β-glucosidase (SfBGL1), were identified to be highly secreted in active form in yeast. Despite variability in the enzyme levels produced, each recombinant yeast could secrete approximately 0.6–2.0 g/L of cellulases into the fermentation broth. The synergistic effect of the mixed culture of the four strains expressing the essential cellulases with the insoluble substrate Avicel and several types of cellulosic biomass was demonstrated to be effective. Co-fermentation of these yeast strains produced approximately 14 g/L ethanol from the pre-treated rice straw containing 35 g/L glucan with 3-fold higher productivity than that of wild type yeast using a reduced amount of commercial cellulases. This process will contribute to the cost-effective production of bioenergy such as bioethanol and biochemicals from cellulosic biomass.

Consolidated ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers at elevated temperature by Saccharomyces cerevisiae engineered with inulinase expression through cell surface display. J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol 2016; 44:295-301. [PMID: 27999966 DOI: 10.1007/s10295-016-1881-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2016] [Accepted: 11/26/2016] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Ethanol fermentation from Jerusalem artichoke tubers was performed at elevated temperatures by the consolidated bioprocessing strategy using Saccharomyces cerevisiae MK01 expressing inulinase through cell surface display. No significant difference was observed in yeast growth when temperature was controlled at 38 and 40 °C, respectively, but inulinase activity with yeast cells was substantially enhanced at 40 °C. As a result, enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin was facilitated and ethanol production was improved with 89.3 g/L ethanol produced within 72 h from 198.2 g/L total inulin sugars consumed. Similar results were also observed in ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers with 85.2 g/L ethanol produced within 72 h from 185.7 g/L total sugars consumed. On the other hand, capital investment on cooling facilities and energy consumption for running the facilities would be saved, since regular cooling water instead of chill water could be used to cool down the fermentation system.
