[PMID: 38537879 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2024.108340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
As an energy-storage substance of microorganisms, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a promising alternative to petrochemical polymers. Under appropriate fermentation conditions, PHB-producing strains with metabolic diversity can efficiently synthesize PHB using various carbon sources. Carbon-rich wastes may serve as alternatives to pure sugar substrates to reduce the cost of PHB production. Genetic engineering strategies can further improve the efficiency of substrate assimilation and PHB synthesis. In the downstream link, PHB recycling strategies based on green chemistry concepts can replace PHB extraction using chlorinated solvents to enhance the economics of PHB production and reduce the potential risks of environmental pollution and health damage. To avoid carbon loss caused by biodegradation in the traditional sense, various strategies have been developed to degrade PHB waste into monomers. These monomers can serve as platform chemicals to synthesize other functional compounds or as substrates for PHB reproduction. The sustainable potential and cycling value of PHB are thus reflected. This review summarized the recent progress of strains, substrates, and fermentation approaches for microbial PHB production. Analyses of available strategies for sustainable PHB recycling were also included. Furthermore, it discussed feasible pathways for PHB waste valorization. These contents may provide insights for constructing PHB-based comprehensive biorefinery systems.

Abstract
Plastics are widely used for diverse applications due to their versatility. However, their negative impact on ecosystems is undeniable due to their long-term degradation. Thus, there is a rising need for developing eco-friendlier alternatives to substitute fossil-based plastics, like biopolymers. PHA are synthesized intracellularly by microorganisms under stressful conditions of growth and have similar characteristics to conventional polymers, like their melting point, transition temperatures, crystallinity, and flexibility. Although it is feasible to use biopolymers for diverse industrial applications, their elevated production cost due to the supplies needed for microbiological procedures and the low productivity yields obtained have been the main limiting factors for their commercial success. The present study assessed the ability of Bacillus megaterium strain MNSH1-9K-1 to produce biopolymers using low-cost media from different kinds of fruit-peel residues. The results show that MNSH1-9K-1 can produce up to 58 g/L of PHB when grown in a medium prepared from orange-peel residues. The data obtained provide information to enhance the scalability of these kinds of biotechnological processes.

Abstract
Biopolymers produced as microbial carbon storage systems, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), offer potential to be used in place of petrochemically derived plastics. Low-value organic feedstocks, such as food waste, have been explored as a potential substrate for the microbial production of PHAs. In this review, we discuss the biosynthesis, composition and producers of PHAs, with a particular focus on the genetic and process engineering efforts to utilise non-native substrates, derived from food waste from across the entire supply chain, for microbial growth and PHA production. We highlight a series of studies that have achieved impressive advances and discuss the challenges of producing PHAs with consistent composition and properties from mixed and variable food waste and by-products.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of different strategies on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-P(3HB) production in a fed-batch bioreactor by Bacillus megaterium using candy industry effluent (CIE), sucrose, and rice parboiled water (RPW) as carbon sources. In biosynthesis, kinetic and stoichiometric parameters of substrate conversion into products and/or cells, productivity, instantaneous, and specific conversion rates were evaluated. The maximum concentration of P(3HB) was 4.00 g.L-1 (77% of the total dry mass) in 42 h of cultivation in minimal medium/RPW added with a carbon source based on CIE, demonstrating that the fed-batch provided an increase of approximately 22% in the polymer concentration and 32% in the overall productivity in relation to medium based on commercial sucrose. Fed-batch cultivation also had the advantage of avoiding the extra time required for inoculum preparation and sterilization of the bioreactor during the batch, which thereby increased the overall industrial importance of the process. Effluents from the candy, confectionery, and/or rice parboiling industries can be used as alternative substrates for P(3HB) production at a low cost.

Abstract
Serious global problems faced due to many petroleum-based materials in the last century, which is called the plastic age, constitute the main motivation of this research. Considering wastewater treatment from this perspective, both the recovery of organic acids from wastewater and their conversion into bioplastics are extremely important in terms of reducing petroleum dependency. In this study, while the treatment of landfill leachate was provided with biological process integrated into Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR), simultaneously PHBV production was carried out with 84.9% recovered VFA as carbon source. The effects of C/N/P ratio and feeding regime on PHBV storage were investigated by Cupriavidus necator. PHBV storage of 96% (g PHBV/g DCW) was maximized by 2-stage feeding and nitrogen restriction. The ratio of 3HV to 3HB of PHBV was 45%. In addition, extracted PHBV was compared with standard PHA in terms of thermal and chemical properties with FTIR, XRD, TGA and DSC analyses.

Abstract
The increasing use of synthetic polymers and their disposal has raised concern due to their adverse effects on the environment. Thus, other sustainable alternatives to synthetic plastics have been sought, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), which are promising microbial polyesters, mainly due to their compostable nature, biocompatibility, thermostability, and resilience, making this biopolymer acceptable in several applications in the global market. The large-scale production of PHAs by microorganisms is still limited by the high cost of production compared to conventional plastics. This review reports some strategies mentioned in the literature aimed at production and recovery, paving the way for the bio-based economy. For this, some aspects of PHAs are addressed, such as synthesis, production systems, process control using by-products from industries, and advances and challenges in the downstream. The bioplastics properties made them a prime candidate for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industrial applications. With this paper, it is possible to see that biodegradable polymers are promising materials, mainly for reducing the pollution produced by polymers derived from petroleum.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biopolyesters regarded as an attractive alternative to petroleum-derived plastics. Nitrogen limitation and phosphate limitation in glucose cultivations were evaluated for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) production by Halomonas elongata 1H9T, a moderate halophilic strain. Co-production of P(3HB) and gluconic acid was observed in fed-batch glucose cultivations under nitrogen limiting conditions. A maximum P(3HB) accumulation of 53.0% (w/w) and a maximum co-production of 133 g/L of gluconic acid were attained. Fed-batch glucose cultivation under phosphate limiting conditions resulted in a P(3HB) accumulation of only 33.3% (w/w) and no gluconic acid production. As gluconic acid is a valuable organic acid with extensive applications in several industries, this work presents an interesting approach for the future development of an industrial process aiming at the co-production of an intracellular biopolymer, P(3HB), and a value-added extracellular product, gluconic acid.

Abstract
Free sugars from fruit wastes were evaluated for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) in Paraburkholderia sacchari fed-batch bioreactor fermentations. Different initial sugar concentration, carbon to inorganic phosphorus (C/IP) ratio, IP addition during feeding and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) were evaluated to promote PHB production. The highest intracellular PHB accumulation (66.6%), PHB concentration (108.3 g/L), productivity (3.28 g/L/h) and yield (0.33 g/g) were achieved at 40 g/L initial sugars, C/IP 26.5, 202.6 h-1kLa value and 20% IP supplementation in the feeding solution. The effect of different cell's harvesting time on PHB properties showed no influence in weight average molecular weight and thermal properties. The harvest time influenced the tensile strength that was reduced from 28.7 MPa at 22 h to 13.3 MPa at 36 h. The elongation at break and Young's modulus were in the range 3.6-14.8% and 830-2000 MPa, respectively.

Abstract
The high costs of bioplastics' production may hinder their commercialization. Development of new processes with high yields and in biorefineries can enhance diffusion of these materials. This work evaluated the production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from the combination of milled corn starchy fraction hydrolysate and crude glycerol as substrates by the strain Cupriavidus necator LPB 1421. After optimization steps, maximum accumulation of 62 % of PHB was obtained, which represents 11.64 g.L-1 and productivity of 0.162 g.Lh-1. In a stirred tank bioreactor system with 8 L of operational volume, 70 % of PHB accumulation was reported, representing 14.17 g.L-1 of the biopolymer with 0.197 g.Lh-1 productivity. PHB recovery was conducted using a chemical digestion method, reaching >99 % purity. Therefore, the potential application of milled corn as substrate for PHB production was confirmed. The developed bioplastic process could be coupled to a bioethanol producing unit creating the opportunity of a sustainable and economic biorefinery.

Abstract
The human body's natural protective barrier, the skin, is exposed daily to minor or major mechanical trauma, which can compromise its integrity. Therefore, the search for new dressing materials that can offer new functionalisation is fully justified. In this work, the development of two new types of dressings based on poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate) (P(3HO)) is presented. One of the groups was supplemented with conjugates of an anti-inflammatory substance (diclofenac) that was covalently linked to oligomers of hydroxycarboxylic acids (Oli-dicP(3HO)). The novel dressings were prepared using the solvent casting/particulate leaching technique. To our knowledge, this is the first paper in which P(3HO)-based dressings were used in mice wound treatment. The results of our research confirm that dressings based on P(3HO) are safe, do not induce an inflammatory response, reduce the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, provide adequate wound moisture, support angiogenesis, and, thanks to their hydrophobic characteristics, provide an ideal protective barrier. Newly designed dressings containing Oli-dicP(3HO) can promote tissue regeneration by partially reducing the inflammation at the injury site. To conclude, the presented materials might be potential candidates as excellent dressings for wound treatment.

Abstract
Burkholderia sacchari LFM101 LMG19450T is a Brazilian bacterium isolated from sugarcane crops soil and a promising biotechnological platform for bioprocesses. It is an efficient producer of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) from carbohydrates including xylose. In the present work, the expression of B. sacchari xylose consumption genes (xylA, xylB and tktA) was combined with the expression of Aeromonas sp. phaC (PHA synthase), aiming to increase both the growth rates in xylose and the 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) molar fractions in the produced PHA. Genes were cloned into pBBR1MCS-2 vectors and then expressed in the B. sacchari PHA- mutant LFM344. Maximum specific growth rates on xylose and PHA accumulation capacity of all recombinants were evaluated. In bioreactor experiments, up to 55.5 % CDW was accumulated as copolymer, hexanoate conversion to 3HHx raised from 2 % to 54 % of the maximum theoretical value, compared to wild type. 3HHx mol% ranged from 8 to 35, and molecular weights were between 111 and 220 kg/mol. Thermal analysis measurement showed a decrease in Tg and Tm values with higher 3HHx fraction, indicating improved thermomechanical characteristics. Recombinants construction and bioreactor strategies allowed the production of P(3HB-co-3HHx) with controlled monomeric composition from xylose and hexanoate, allowing its application in diverse fields, including the medical area.

Abstract
High cell density cultivation is a promising approach to reduce capital and operating costs of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production. To achieve high cell concentration, it is necessary that the cultivation conditions are adjusted and controlled to support the best growth of the PHB producer. In the present study, carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio of a sugarcane juice (SJ)-based medium, initial sugar concentration, and dissolved oxygen (DO) set point, were optimized for batch cultivation of Paracoccus sp. KKU01. A maximum biomass concentration of 55.5 g/L was attained using the C/N ratio of 10, initial sugar concentration of 100 g/L, and 20% DO set point. Fed-batch cultivation conducted under these optimum conditions, with two feedings of SJ-based medium, gave the final cell concentration of 87.9 g/L, with a PHB content, concentration, and yield of 36.2%, 32.1 g/L, and 0.13 g/g-sugar, respectively. A medium-based economic analysis showed that the economic yield of PHB on nutrients was 0.14. These results reveal the possibility of using SJ for high cell density cultivation of Paracoccus sp. KKU01 for PHB production. However, further optimization of the process is necessary to make it more efficient and cost-effective.

Abstract
Cupriavidus metallidurans is a model bacterium to study molecular metal resistance mechanisms and its use for the bioremediation of several metals has been shown. However, its mechanisms for radionuclide resistance are unexplored. We investigated the interaction with uranium and associated cellular response to uranium for Cupriavidus metallidurans NA4. Strain NA4 actively captured 98 ± 1% of the uranium in its biomass after growing 24 h in the presence of 100 µM uranyl nitrate. TEM HAADF-EDX microscopy confirmed intracellular uranium-phosphate precipitates that were mainly associated with polyhydroxybutyrate. Furthermore, whole transcriptome sequencing indicated a complex transcriptional response with upregulation of genes encoding general stress-related proteins and several genes involved in metal resistance. More in particular, gene clusters known to be involved in copper and silver resistance were differentially expressed. This study provides further insights into bacterial interactions with and their response to uranium. Our results could be promising for uranium bioremediation purposes with the multi-metal resistant bacterium C. metallidurans NA4.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are produced by numerous microbes as a subcellular energy source. Despite of their diverse applications, exorbitant production cost limits their commercial synthesis. Apart from various cost determining factors such as cost-effective feedstocks or economic recovery methods, the use of appropriate bacteria holds the key to reduce the fermentation economics. Extremophiles, especially thermophilic PHA producers, could make the bioprocess economically viable by reducing the production cost in several aspects. Using variety of waste feedstocks as carbon substrates could open the way for the valorisation of industrial waste streams and cost-effective PHA production. Therefore, the article critically reviews the current knowledge of the synthesis of PHA polyesters in thermophilic conditions. Additionally, it summarises several studies on thermophilic PHA producing bacteria grown on various waste substrates. To conclude, the paper focuses on screening and recovery methods as well as technical challenges in thermophilic PHA production.

Abstract
Cheese whey (CW) can be an excellent carbon source for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)-producing bacteria. Most studies have used CW, which contains high amounts of lactose, however, there are no reports using raw CW, which has a relatively low amount of lactose. Therefore, in the present study, PHA production was evaluated in a two-stage process using the CW that contains low amounts of lactose. In first stage, the carbon source existing in CW was converted into acetic acid using the bacteria, Acetobacter pasteurianus C1, which was isolated from food waste. In the second stage, acetic acid produced in the first stage was converted into PHA using the bacteria, Bacillus sp. CYR-1. Under the condition of without the pretreatment of CW, acetic acid produced from CW was diluted at different folds and used for the production of PHA. Strain CYR-1 incubated with 10-fold diluted CW containing 5.7 g/L of acetic acid showed the higher PHA production (240.6 mg/L), whereas strain CYR-1 incubated with four-fold diluted CW containing 12.3 g/L of acetic acid showed 126 mg/L of PHA. After removing the excess protein present in CW, PHA production was further enhanced by 3.26 times (411 mg/L) at a four-fold dilution containing 11.3 g/L of acetic acid. Based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses, it was confirmed that the PHA produced from the two-stage process is poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). All bands appearing in the FT-IR spectrum and the chemical shifts of NMR nearly matched with those of standard PHB. Based on these studies, we concluded that a two-stage process using Acetobacter pasteurianus C1 and Bacillus sp. CYR-1 would be applicable for the production of PHB using CW containing a low amount of lactose.

Abstract
This is the first review presenting and discussing Burkholderia sacchari as a bacterial chassis. B. sacchari is a distinguished polyhydroxyalkanoates producer strain, with low biological risk, reaching high biopolymer yields from sucrose (0.29 g/g), and xylose (0.38 g/g). It has great potential for integration into a biorefinery using residues from biomass, achieving 146 g/L cell dry weight containing 72% polyhydroxyalkanoates. Xylitol (about 70 g/L) and xylonic acid [about 390 g/L, productivity 7.7 g/(L.h)] are produced by the wild-type B. sacchari. Recombinants were constructed to allow the production and monomer composition control of diverse tailor-made polyhydroxyalkanoates, and some applications have been tested. 3-hydroxyvalerate and 3-hydroxyhexanoate yields from substrate reached 80% and 50%, respectively. The genome-scale reconstruction of its metabolic network, associated with the improvement of tools for genetic modification, and metabolic fluxes understanding by future research, will consolidate its potential as a bioproduction chassis.

Abstract
Pollution caused by persistent petro-plastics is the most pressing problem currently, with 8 million tons of plastic waste dumped annually in the oceans. Plastic waste management is not systematized in many countries, because it is laborious and expensive with secondary pollution hazards. Bioplastics, synthesized by microorganisms, are viable alternatives to petrochemical-based thermoplastics due to their biodegradable nature. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a structurally and functionally diverse group of storage polymers synthesized by many microorganisms, including bacteria and Archaea. Some of the most important PHA accumulating bacteria include Cupriavidus necator, Burkholderia sacchari, Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., recombinant Escherichia coli, and certain halophilic extremophiles. PHAs are synthesized by specialized PHA polymerases with assorted monomers derived from the cellular metabolite pool. In the natural cycle of cellular growth, PHAs are depolymerized by the native host for carbon and energy. The presence of these microbial PHA depolymerases in natural niches is responsible for the degradation of bioplastics. Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is the most common PHA with desirable thermoplastic-like properties. PHAs have widespread applications in various industries including biomedicine, fine chemicals production, drug delivery, packaging, and agriculture. This review provides the updated knowledge on the metabolic pathways for PHAs synthesis in bacteria, and the major microbial hosts for PHAs production. Yeasts are presented as a potential candidate for industrial PHAs production, with their high amenability to genetic engineering and the availability of industrial-scale technology. The major bottlenecks in the commercialization of PHAs as an alternative for plastics and future perspectives are also critically discussed.

Abstract
In large-scale fed-batch production processes, microbes are exposed to heterogeneous substrate availability caused by long mixing times. Escherichia coli, the most common industrial host for recombinant protein production, reacts by recurring accumulation of the alarmone ppGpp and energetically wasteful transcriptional strategies. Here, we compare the regulatory responses of the stringent response mutant strain E. coli SR and its parent strain E. coli MG1655 to repeated nutrient starvation in a two-compartment scale-down reactor. Our data show that E. coli SR can withstand these stress conditions without a ppGpp-mediated stress response maintaining fully functional ammonium uptake and biomass formation. Furthermore, E. coli SR exhibited a substantially reduced short-term transcriptional response compared to E. coli MG1655 (less than half as many differentially expressed genes). E. coli SR proceeded adaptation via more general SOS response pathways by initiating negative regulation of transcription, translation and cell division. Our results show that locally induced stress responses propagating through the bioreactor do not result in cyclical induction and repression of genes in E. coli SR, but in a reduced and coordinated response, which makes it potentially suitable for large-scale production processes.

Abstract
In this study, finger millet straw (FMS) was utilized for the production of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by Bacillus megaterium strain CAM12. Ultrasound-assisted alkaline (NaOH) pretreatment of FMS under optimized conditions followed by enzymatic saccharification resulted in the maximum delignification (72%), hydrolysis yield (84%), glucose yield (86%) and xylose yield (61%). The effects of different pH, temperature, incubation period, inoculum concentration, agitation speed and FMS enzymatic hydrolysates concentration were investigated to improve the PHB production. Under optimized conditions, strain CAM12 used the FMS hydrolysates as the sole carbon source for their growth and produced 8.31 g L-1 of PHB. The extracted polymer on Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses were confirmed to be PHB. These results suggest the potential of combined ultrasound and alkaline pretreated FMS hydrolysates as a promising feedstock for PHB production.

Abstract
Bio-plastics are eco-friendly biopolymers finding tremendous application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Bio-plastics have suitable physicochemical, mechanical properties, and do not cause any type of hazardous pollution upon disposal but have a high production cost. This can be minimized by screening potential bio-polymers producing strains, selecting inexpensive raw material, optimized cultivation conditions, and upstream processing. These bio-plastics specifically microbial-produced bio-polymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) find application in food industries as packaging material owing to their desirable water barrier and gas permeability properties. The present review deals with the production, recovery, purification, characterization, and applications of PHAs. This is a comprehensive first review will also focus on different strategies adopted for efficient PHA production using dairy processing waste, its biosynthetic mechanism, metabolic engineering, kinetic aspects, and also biodegradability testing at the lab and pilot plant level. In addition to that, the authors will be emphasizing more on novel PHAs nanocomposites synthesis strategies and their commercial applicability.

Abstract
Investigations have been made to determine the usage of inexpensive agro-waste products as an alternative carbon source for the production of degradable bacterial polyester. Among 33 bacterial isolates, a gram-positive bacterium PPECLRB-16 isolated from rice bran dumping yard was found to accumulate a relatively higher quantity of PHB and identified as Bacillus sp. through 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The higher PHB producing bacterial isolate was grown with different inexpensive agro-wastes to determine the suitable carbon source for its growth and PHB production. The one-factor-at-a-time approach comparatively enhanced PHB yield (5.64 g/L) when grown for 48 h with 1.5% (w/v) of defatted oil cake at a pH of 7.0. The bacterially accumulated PHB was isolated from the cells, purified, and characterized using solid-state 13C NMR, FT-IR, Powder XRD, TGA, GPC, Tensile and HR-SEM analyses. The hydrophobicity and printing accessibility of recovered PHB were demonstrated using contact angle measurement by coating on different surfaces. The results obtained in the present investigation have thrown light on the potential usage of agro-waste by-products, mainly oil cake, as an appropriate carbon source for the commercial production of PHB by Bacillus sp. in a cost-effective way.

Abstract
The co-production of industrially relevant biopolymers/biomolecules from microbes is of biotechnological importance. Herein, a unique bacterium, Iodobacter sp. PCH 194 from the kettle lake at Sach Pass in western Indian Himalaya was identified. It co-produces biopolymer polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and biomolecule (violacein pigment). Statistical optimization yielded dual products in the medium augmented with glucose (4.0% w/v) and tryptone (0.5% w/v) as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The purified PHA was polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and pigment constitutes of violacein (50-60%) and deoxyviolacein (40-50%). A bench-scale bioprocess in 22.0 L fermentor with 20% dissolved O2 supply produced PHB (11.0 ± 1.0 g/L, 58% of dry cell mass) and violacein pigment (1.5 ± 0.08 g/L). PHB obtained was used for the preparation of bioplastic film. Violacein pigment experimentally validated for anticancerous and antimicrobial activities. In summary, a commercially implied bioprocess developed for the co-production of PHB and violacein pigment using the Himalayan bacterium.

Recent advances in polyhydroxyalkanoate production: Feedstocks, strains and process developments. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 156:691-703. [PMID: 32315680 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.04.082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have been actively studied in academia and industry for their properties comparable to petroleum-derived plastics and high biocompatibility. However, the major limitation for commercialization is their high cost. Feedstock costs, especially carbon costs, account for the majority of the final cost. Finding cheap feedstocks for PHA production and associated process development are critical for a cost-effective PHA production. In this study, waste materials from different sources, particularly lignocellulosic biomass, were proposed as suitable feedstocks for PHA production. Strains involved in the conversion of these feedstocks into PHA were reviewed. Newly isolated strains were emphasized. Related process development, including the factors that affect PHA production, fermentation modes and downstream processing, was elaborated upon.
