Abstract
Cellulases have been widely used in many fields such as animal feed, textile, food, lignocellulose bioconversion, etc. Efficient and low-cost production of cellulases is very important for its industrial application, especially in bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. Filamentous fungi are currently widely used in industrial cellulase production due to their ability to secrete large amounts of active free cellulases extracellularly. This review comprehensively summarized the research progress on cellulases from filamentous fungi in recent years, including filamentous fungi used for cellulase production and its modification strategies, enzyme compositions, characterization methods and application of fungal cellulase systems, and the production of fungal cellulase includes production processes, factors affecting cellulase production such as inducers, fermentation medium, process parameters and their control strategies. Also, the future perspectives and research topics in fungal cellulase production are presented in the end of the review. The review helps to deepen the understanding of the current status of fungal cellulases, thereby promoting the production technology progress and industrial application of filamentous fungal cellulase.

Enhanced glucose-1-phosphate production from corn stover using cellulases with reduced β-glucosidase activity via Trbgl1 gene knockout in Trichoderma reesei Rut C30. Enzyme Microb Technol 2024; 180:110503. [PMID: 39208708 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2024.110503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
The scarcity of cellulases with low β-glucosidase activity poses a significant technological challenge in precisely controlling the partial hydrolysis of lignocellulose to cellobiose, crucial for producing high-value chemicals such as starch, inositol, and NMN. Trichoderma reesei is a primary strain in cellulase production. Therefore, this study targeted the critical β-glucosidase gene, Trbgl1, resulting in over an 86 % reduction in β-glucosidase activity. However, cellulase production decreased by 19.2 % and 20.3 % with lactose or cellulose inducers, respectively. Notably, transcript levels of cellulase genes and overall yield remained unaffected with an inducer containing sophorose. This indicates that β-glucosidase BGL1 converts lactose or cellulose to sophorose through transglycosylation activity, inducing cellulase gene transcription. The resulting enzyme cocktail, comprising recombinant cellulase and cellobiose phosphorylase, was applied for corn stover hydrolysis, resulting in a 24.3 % increase in glucose-1-phosphate yield. These findings provide valuable insights into obtaining enzymes suitable for the high-value utilization of lignocellulose.

Abstract
With the depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels, there has been an increasing emphasis on renewable biomass. Penicillium oxalicum is notable for its exceptional capacity to secrete a diverse array of enzymes that degrade plant polysaccharides into monosaccharides. These valuable monosaccharides can be harnessed in the production of bioethanol and other sustainable forms of energy. By enhancing the production of plant-polysaccharide-degrading enzymes (PPDEs) in P. oxalicum, we can optimize the utilization of plant biomass. This paper presents recent advances in augmenting PPDE expression in P. oxalicum through genetic engineering strategies involving protoplast preparation, transformation, and factors influencing PPDE gene expression.

Abstract
Glucobiose is a range of disaccharides consisting of two glucose molecules, generally including trehalose, kojibiose, sophorose, nigerose, laminaribiose, maltose, cellobiose, isomaltose, and gentiobiose. The difference glycosidic bonds of two glucose molecules result in the diverse molecular structures, physiochemical properties and physiological functions of these glucobioses. Some glucobioses are abundant in nature but have unconspicuous roles on health like maltose, whereas some rare glucobioses display remarkable biological effects. It is unpractical process to extract these rare glucobioses from natural resources, while biological synthesis is a feasible approach. Recently, the production and application of glucobiose have attracted considerable attention. This review provides a comprehensive overview of glucobioses, including their natural sources and physicochemical properties like structure, sweetness, digestive performance, toxicology, and cariogenicity. Specific enzymes used for the production of various glucobioses and fermentation production processes are summarized. Additionally, their versatile functions and broad applications are also introduced.

Two-Stage Pretreatment of Jerusalem Artichoke Stalks with Wastewater Recycling and Lignin Recovery for the Biorefinery of Lignocellulosic Biomass. Processes (Basel) 2023.

Abstract
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is emerging as one of the energy plants considered for biofuel production. Alkali and alkali-involved pretreatment methods have been widely used for the bioconversion of cellulosic materials due to their high sugar yield and low inhibitor release. However, the recovery and treatment of wastewater (black liquor) have been poorly studied. Here, we present a novel two-stage pretreatment process design for recycling black liquor. Jerusalem artichoke stalk (JAS) was first treated with 2% (w/v) NaOH, after which lignin was recovered by H2SO4 at pH 2.0 from the black liquor. The recycled solutions were subsequently used to treat the NaOH-pretreated JAS for the second time to dissolve hemicellulose. CO-pretreated JAS, hydrolysates, and acid-insoluble lignin were obtained after the above-mentioned two-stage pretreatment. A reducing sugar yield of 809.98 mg/g Co-pretreated JAS was achieved after 48 h at 5% substrate concentration using a cellulase dosage of 25 FPU/g substrate. In addition, hydrolysates containing xylose and acid-insoluble lignin were obtained as byproducts. The pretreatment strategy described here using alkali and acid combined with wastewater recycling provides an alternative approach for cellulosic biorefinery.

Abstract
Trichoderma reesei was induced to produce cellulase by a combination of glucose and β-disaccharide; however, lower levels of auxiliary proteins for degrading lignocellulosic biomass were detected by iTRAQ analysis compared with cellulose as an inducer, especially cellulose induced protein 1 (CIP1). In this study, A pdc1 promoter-driven overexpression of the endogenous Trcip1 gene was observed in T. reesei Rut C30, and the Trcip1 transcription levels of the two transformants, T. reesei OE-cip1-1 and OE-cip1-2, demonstrated 31.2- and 164.6-fold increases, respectively, but there was no significant change in cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase and filter paper activity at 48 h. The crude enzyme was then used to hydrolyze corn stover. For T. reesei OE-cip1-1 and OE-cip1-2, the hydrolysis efficiency increased by 25.0 and 28.6% with a solid loading of 5% at 2 h, respectively. Simultaneously, 85.5 and 85.2 g/L glucose were released using a cellulase cocktail at high solid loading (20%), and these glucose release rates were significantly greater than that of T. reesei Rut C30 cellulase (77.4 g/L) at 120 h. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the enhanced hydrolysis efficiency was primarily triggered by the decrease in the crystallinity of lignocellulose, and the fiber structure had varying degrees of loosening and disintegration.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:17392-17400. [PMID: 35765440 PMCID: PMC9190947 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra01192a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Sophorose is currently the most effective inducer of cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei; however, the use of byproduct sophorose from the stevioside acid hydrolysis process has not been developed. In this study, stevioside was hydrolysed with different concentrations of HCl to obtain isosteviol and a mixture of glucose and sophorose (MGS). Isosteviol showed good inhibitory effects on the growth of Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli after separation. At the same time, MGS, as a byproduct, was evaluated for cellulase production to determine the feasibility of this approach. MGS was compared with common soluble inducers, such as lactose, cellobiose, and a mixture of glucose and β-disaccharide (MGD), and induced higher cellulase production than the other inducers. The cellulase activity induced by MGS was 1.64- and 5.26-fold higher than that induced by lactose and cellobiose, respectively, and was not significantly different from that induced by MGD. The crude enzyme using MGS as an inducer with commercial β-glucosidase was further tested by hydrolyzing NaOH-pretreated corn stover with 5% solid loading, and 33.4 g L-1 glucose was released with a glucose yield of 96.04%. The strategy developed in this work will be beneficial for reducing inducer production cost through a simple stevia glycoside hydrolysis reaction and will contribute to studies aimed at improving cellulase production using soluble inducers for easier operation in industrial-scale cellulase production.
