Article Abstract

Lignocellulose is the most abundant terrestrial biomass type, and lignocellulose hydrolysate has the potential to replace glucose for microbial fermentation. Halomonas bluephagenesis has significant advantages in producing bioplastics polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), but there is relatively little research on the use of lignocellulose hydrolysate for this strain. In present study, H. bluephagenesis was engineered to use xylose and lignocellulose hydrolysate to produce PHB. Firstly, four xylose metabolism pathways were established. Secondly, several xfp genes were compared and genes in pathway I (xylA and xfp gene) were integrated into the genome. Thirdly, H. bluephagenesis was found to be able to utilize glucose and xylose simultaneously. H. bluephagenesis T39 containing xylA and xfp generated 15 g/L CDW containing 76 wt% PHB when cultured in lignocellulose hydrolysate, and it was grown to 62 g/L CDW containing 67 wt% PHB in a 7 L bioreactor. H. bluephagenesis T43 harboring xylA was found able to synthesize P(3HB-4HB-3HV) containing 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 4-hydroxybutyrte (4HB) and 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) when grown on lignocellulose hydrolysate.

Anaerobic digestion of pretreated lignocellulosic hydrolysates valorizes biowaste into biomethane; however, the inherent inhibitory by-products severely suppress microbial metabolism. Electro-fermentation offers a promising strategy to simultaneously address the challenges of furfural detoxification and carbon recovery. Herein, we report the effect of externally applied voltages (0.

Background: Oleaginous microorganisms are promising lipid producers that accumulate an abundance of lipids from different carbon sources. However, the cost of the carbon source in the culture medium is a significant component of the total substrate cost. In this study, lignocellulose from corncob hydrolysate (CBH) was used instead of glucose as a low-cost medium for Schizochytrium fermentation.

Lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable feedstock for biorefineries, but inefficient xylose utilization limits microbial bioproduction. Here, the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was engineered to produce succinic acid (SA) from xylose by resolving metabolic and regulatory conflicts. Initial overexpression of xylose catabolic genes (XR, XDH, XK) in an SA-hyperproducing strain did not activate xylose utilization, indicating underlying cryptic constraints.

Wood is the most abundant renewable natural resource composed of different polysaccharides and lignin, but its utilisation is hampered by intermolecular linkages between these components forming lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) causing recalcitrance. The links between glucuronoxylan and the γ-C of lignin (γ-ester linkages) are thought to contribute to one-third of LCCs, but direct evidence for their natural occurrence and their role in recalcitrance has been scarce so far. To address these issues, Phanerochaete carnosa glucuronoyl esterase (PcGCE), hydrolysing γ-ester linkages, was expressed in cell walls of developing wood in hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L.
