Article Abstract
Lignin-derived compounds (LDCs) biological funneling for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis has been attractive but elusive. Herein, the Halomonas sp. Y3 is isolated and developed for PHA production from LDCs. Of the tested 13 LDCs, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), protocatechuate (PA), catechol (CAT), and vanillic acid (VA) exhibit a hyper-degradation and production with 87.2 %, 85.8 %, 84.7 %, and 83.4 % TOC removal rate and 535.2 mg/L, 506.5 mg/L, 435.6 mg/L, and 440.8 mg/L PHA concentration, respectively. The Halomonas sp. Y3 genome is sequenced by identifying numerous genes responsible for LDCs funneling, stress response, and PHA biosynthesis. An open unsterilized fermentation with optimal conditions of pH 9.0 and NaCl 60 g/L is investigated, achieving a completely aseptic effect and significantly improved PHA production from LDCs. Overall, the results indicate that the Halomonas sp. Y3 is an ideal candidate for LDC bioconversion and exhibits a great potential to realize black liquor valorization.

The turnover of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil regulated by biodegradable microplastics (MPs) has garnered much attention due to its profound impact on the storage and stability of soil organic matter. However, the transformation and reactivity of plant-derived and microbially derived DOM by microorganisms adapted to biodegradable MPs, and the involved microbial physiological processes, remain nearly unknown. Here, we added virgin and aged polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) to agricultural soils and incubated for 56 days.

Background: Biological deconstruction of lignocellulose for sustainable chemical production offers an opportunity to harness evolutionarily specialized enzymes and organisms for industrial bioprocessing. While hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose by CAZymes yields fermentable sugars, ligninolysis releases a heterogeneous mix of aromatic compounds that likely play a crucial role in shaping microbial communities and microbial metabolism. Here, we interrogated the metabolomic and transcriptomic response of a lignocellulolytic anaerobic fungus, Neocallimastix californiae, to a heterogeneous mixture of aromatic compounds derived from lignin.

Rational engineering strategies that seek to harness the remarkable diversity of microbial metabolism can be limited by incomplete biological knowledge. As described here, a novel approach to address this challenge involved replacing a native pathway for degrading lignin-derived aromatic compounds via cleavage of protocatechuate in ADP1 with a foreign -cleavage pathway that uses different enzymes, metabolites, and redox carriers. This alteration may improve lignin valorization and coordinate catabolism with bioproduction strategies.

Aromatic resources, including lignin-, petroleum-, and plastic-derived aromatic compounds, show great potential as feedstocks for producing aromatic fine chemicals. However, the heterogeneity of lignin and the complex conversion pathways of these aromatic derivatives hinder their value enhancement. In this study, an engineered KT2440 was developed to efficiently convert diverse aromatic derivatives into catechol with an atom-economic conversion.

Alkene cleaving dioxygenases (ADO), which can oxidatively cleave C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bonds to the respective carbonyl compounds, may aid in waste stream utilization strategies by valorizing lignin-derived monomers. Here, we present 11 new ADOs and describe the characteristics of the most promising candidate ADO from . ADO shows unprecedented reaction kinetics and a high yield without requiring co-enzymes or co-substrates other than O.
