Utilization and polymerization of lignosulfonates by wood-rotting fungi

The susceptibility of lignosulfonates to the action of lignin-degrading wood-rotting fungi was studied by submitting commercial lignosulfonate (Peritan Na) and fractions of calcium lignosulfonate of different molecular weights to the action of selected white rot fungi. As shown by gel filtration chromatography and determinations according to the nitroso method, lignosulfonates, even in conditions which did not support fungal growth, underwent strong polymerization when brought in contact with typical, extracellular polyphenol oxidase-producing white-rot fungi. Owing to the polymerization, nitroso determinations showed a seeming decrease of lignosulfonate. Polyporus dichrous, an “atypical” white-rot fungus which does not produce extracellular polyphenol oxidase and hence does not cause polymerization of lignosulfonates, was found to degrade 11% of the lignosulfonate available in a solid malt extract medium during 19 days. Addition of lignosulfonate to a rich synthetic liquid growth medium increased the mycelial yield of several white-rot fungi. Trametes versicolor was able to grow on a calcium lignosulfonate fraction with molecular weight 1350 which served as sole source of carbon and energy, but not on fractions of higher molecular weight. The utilization/polymerization of lignosulfonates was shown to depend on concentration and on the presence of additional utilizable sources of carbon.     

Depolymerization of lignosulfonates by submerged cultures of the basidiomycete Irpex consors and cloning of a putative versatile peroxidase

Lignosulfonates are abundantly available byproducts of the paper and pulping industry, and they therefore represent a promising feedstock for new sustainable processes. For industrial applications of lignosulfonates, their molecular weight distribution is a critical factor. In order to decrease the average molecular weight of lignosulfonates, Seventeen basidiomycetes were screened for their capability to depolymerize lignosulfonates from spent sulfite liquor (SSL) in surface and liquid cultures. Five basidiomycetes polymerized the lignosulfonates under the selected conditions. Only Irpex consors was found to efficiently degrade calcium lignosulfonates when SSL (0.5%, w/w) was used as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. The average molecular weight of the lignosulfonates was reduced from ∼26 to ∼4 kDa as determined by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) within two weeks. Various extracellular enzyme activities of I. consors were determined over the culture period. High peroxidase activities were correlating with a high degradation rate and the culture was harvested at the day of highest peroxidase activity. A putative versatile peroxidase was isolated by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and its encoding cDNA was cloned.

Production of Gluconobacter oxydans cells from low-cost culture medium for conversion of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone

Gluconobacter oxydans could be immobilized as a biocatalyst for the conversion of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone. To reduce the production cost, the cells were produced from agricultural byproducts. Corn meal hydrolysate and corn steep liquor were employed to replace of sorbitol and yeast extract as medium for G. oxydans cell production. The optimal medium contained 80 g/L reducing sugar, 25 g/L corn steep liquor, and 10 g/L glycerol. The cell mass was about 4.22 g/L and the glycerol dehydrogenase activity was about 5.23 U/mL. For comparison, the cell mass was about 4.0 g/L and the glycerol dehydrogenase activity was about 5.35 U/mL cultured in sorbitol and yeast extract medium. These studies shown the corn meal hydrolysate and corn steep liquor medium was similar in performance to a nutrient-rich medium, but the cost of production was only 15% of that cultured in sorbitol and yeast extract medium. It was an economical process for the production of G. oxydans cells as biocatalyst for the conversion of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone in industry.     

Application of statistical experimental designs for the optimization of medium constituents for the production of citric acid from pineapple waste

Statistical experimental designs were applied for the optimization of medium constituents for citric acid production by Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3589 in solid state fermentation (SSF) using pineapple waste as the sole substrate. Using Plackett-Burman design, yeast extract, moisture content of the substrate, KH(2)PO(4) and Na(2)HPO(4) were identified as significant variables which highly influenced citric acid production and these variables were subsequently optimized using a central composite design (CCD). The optimum conditions were found to be yeast extract 0.34 (%w/w), moisture content of the substrate 70.71 (%), KH(2)PO(4) 0.64 (%w/w) and Na(2)HPO(4) 0.69 (%w/w). Citric acid production at these optimum conditions was 202.35 g/kg ds (g citric acid produced/kg of dried pineapple waste as substrate).     

Mycelial paper: A potential resource recovery process?

Eleven species of fungi representative of a broad range of cell-wall compositions were evaluated with respect to their papermaking potential as additives to woodpulp furnishes. Some of these species were also examined for their ability to grow on a spent liquor from the pulp-and-paper industry. Handsheets with various levels of incorporated mycelia exhibited a wide range of species-dependent properties. Behavior of the mycelia in the sheets can be modified to a degree by physical and chemical treatments. The overall results suggest that small amounts (5–10% of the sheet constituents) of mycelia, grown inexpensively on waste effluents, might be incorporated into wood fiber paper without serious deleterious effects on paper strength properties. In some cases improved paper is obtained, and larger quantities of mycelia might be used to impart specific properties to the product.     

Isolation of clinically relevant fungal species from solid waste and environment of dental health services

Aims: This study was undertaken to detect, identify and determine antifungal susceptibility of yeast strains isolated from dental solid waste and to evaluate airborne fungi in the Brazilian dental health care environment and in the waste storage room. Methods and Results: A group of 17 yeast strains were identified by macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, API 20C Aux system and Multiplex PCR. All 104 airborne fungal colonies were identified by macroscopic and microscopic morphology. The CLSI broth microdilution method was utilized as the susceptibility test. Candida parapsilosis was the prevailing yeast species recovered from waste, followed by Rhodotorula glutinis. Three strains of Candida guilliermondii presented minimal inhibitory concentration values considered to be susceptible dose dependent (2 μg ml^?1) to voriconazole. Of all airborne fungal species, 69% were recovered from the waste storage room and 31% were recovered from the clinical/surgical environment. Most of them were identified as Cladosporium spp. Conclusions: These findings reinforce the potential risk of waste handling and point out the need for safe management to minimize the spread of these agents to the environment. Filamentous fungi isolation in almost all sampled environments indicates that a periodic monitoring of airborne microbiota in the dental health care service environment is required. Significance and Impact of the Study: The survival of yeast strains for 48 h suggests that dental waste should be carefully controlled and monitored.     

Sequential substrate removal by activated sludge after a change in salt concentration

Previous studies indicated that when cells grown in a NaCl-free glucose medium were subjected to a high salt concentration, cellular constituents were released which were metabolized by the cells in preference to glucose. In the present study, cells grown on glucose in high salt medium were subjected to a shock loading of salt-free medium. In this case, the resulting lysate was not used in preference to glucose; the lysate was metabolized only after an acclimation period following glucose utilization. It was shown by injecting chloramphenicol into the reaction liquor during glucose metabolism that new protein synthesis was required in order to metabolize the lysate. This response represents an additional way in which a rapid change in salt concentration can adversely affect biological treatment of waste waters, and a new type of situation in which sequential removal of substrates occurs.     

Influence of strain and cultivation procedure on the performance of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of steam pretreated spruce

Yeast to be used in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of lignocelluloses materials has to be prepared in a separate cultivation step. The effects of the cultivation procedure on the performance of SSF of steam pretreated softwood were studied in the current work. The yeast used in the SSF was either directly commercially available Baker's yeast (as packaged yeast) or the same strain of yeast produced from the hydrolysate obtained in the pretreatment of the softwood material. A second strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae TMB3000, isolated from spent sulphite liquor, was also compared with the commercial Baker's yeast. The strains were tested in SSF at substrate loads of 3, 5 and 8% dry weight of water insoluble material. Final ethanol yields were above 85% of the theoretical (based on the available hexoses) in all cases, except for the package yeast for the 8% substrate load, in which case the final yield was less than 65%. The cultivation procedure was found to have a significant impact on the performance during SSF, as well as in small-scale fermentations of hydrolysate liquor without solid material. The Baker's yeast cultivated on the hydrolysate from the steam pretreatment had in all cases a higher productivity, in particular at the highest substrate load. Cultivated Baker's yeast had a slightly higher productivity than TMB3000. The results suggest that the adaptation of the yeast to the inhibitors present in the medium is an important factor that must be considered in the design of SSF processes.     

Fermentation of kraft black liquor for the production of citric acid by Candida tropicalis

Summary The production of citric acid by batch fermentation with the yeast strain Candida tropicalis ATCC 20240 was chosen as a potential process for the valorization of kraft black liquor. The effect of nitrogen concentration was studied and direct bioconversion of acetate to citrate was achieved when no nitrogen was supplemented to the medium. The use of kraft black liquor's acetate as a potential substrate for citric acid production was investigated. The acid precipitated liquor was highly inhibitory when its concentration was above 25% of the fermentation broth content. The yields of citric acid at low concentrations of kraft black liquor (5% and 15%) were the same as those recorded in synthetic acetate medium. Other organic acids present in the liquor may affect the yields and rates of citric acid production over acetate. Substrate uptake rates and product formation rates were lower, however, in comparison to synthetic media. The utilization of immobilized biomass improved the process parameters on kraft black liquor and enhanced the fermentation capabilities.

采用响应面分析方法优化毛霉菌B的发酵培养基,首先通过单因素试验筛选出葡萄糖为最适碳源,酵母膏和玉米浆为最适氮源,用Plackett—Burman试验对葡萄糖、酵母膏、玉米浆、MgSO4、FeSO4、NILCl/、HPO4进行评估并筛选出具有显著效应的3个因素：葡萄糖、酵母膏、玉米浆,再通过最陡爬坡试验逼近其最大响应区域,最后采用Box—Behnken试验对其用量进行优化,得到毛霉菌最佳发酵培养基（g/L）：葡萄糖51．54,酵母膏5．22,玉米浆14．31,MgSO40．5,FeSO40．1,NH4Cl3,k2HPO43,pH6．0～6．5。培养基优化后,毛霉生物量由23．51g／L提高至31．13g/L,比对照组提高32．41％,腺嘌呤转化率由53．59％提高至59．97％,ATP产率由6．56g／L提高至7．34g／L,比对照组提高11．89％。     

Production of chitinolytic enzymes by a strain (BM17) of Paenibacillus pabuli isolated from crab shells samples collected in the east sector of central Tyrrhenian Sea

Nineteen bacterial isolates were grown in shaken cultures in media containing chitin as carbon source and different additional nitrogen sources such as yeast nitrogen base (YNB), yeast extract (YE), corn steep liquor (CSL) and ammonium sulfate. Strain BM17 showed the highest activity (200 U/l) in medium containing Chitin (1%) and YNB (0.5%). Molecular analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain BM17 belongs to the species Paenibacillus pabuli (99.72% homology). The enzyme activity started after 12-24 h; exponential enzyme production was recorded from the 24th h and lasted till the 96th h of incubation when activity peaked to decrease thereafter. Medium optimisation was carried out by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) considering the effects of chitin, corn steep liquor and yeast extract. BM17 chitinolytic activity was induced by chitin but the increase of its concentration did not have significant effects on the enzyme activity. By contrast, the nitrogen source, particularly YE, strongly affected the enzyme production.     

Growth ofAureobasidium pullulans on waste water hemicelluloses

Strain Aureobasidium pullulans capable of utilizing hemicelluloses and xylan was cultivated on processed waste dialysis liquor from the production of viscose fibres, containing about 1.5% hemocelluloses. Basic conditions of biomass production were tested on a laboratory scale. The dialysis waste liquor adjusted with mineral acids to pH 4--5 and supplemented with 0.05% yeast autolyzate and 0.2% ammonium sulphate affords protein yields of about 0.8 g/l, corresponding to 4.0--4.5 g dry biomass. Biomass is isolated together with residual water-insoluble hemicelluloses which are not utilized by the microorganism. The total utilization of hemicelluloses attains about 70%.     

Production of single cell protein using waste capsicum powder produced during capsanthin extraction

Aims: To produce single cell protein (SCP) by using waste capsicum powder produced during capsanthin extraction as a substrate. Methods and results: The extraction [CPM (capsicum powder medium)] from waste capsicum powder was used as culture medium to cultivate four yeast strains. The main composition of CPM was determined. The average concentration of total sugar, total nitrogen and phosphorous of CPM were 16·3, 3·7 g l^?1 and 785·4 mg l^?1, respectively. Four yeast strains were cultured in two CPMs, and the cell mass, protein content of cells and specific growth rate of cells were determined. Addition of corn steep liquor significantly increased the cell mass production. Presence of capsaicin in CPM did not show inhibition of cell growth of yeast tested. Conclusions: CPM contained sufficient nutrients and could be used as a good medium to produce SCP. Candida utilis 1769 was chosen as the biomass producer because of its highest SCP formation (6·8 g l^?1) and higher specific growth rate (0·12 h^?1). The amino acid composition of its protein was well balanced. Significance and Impact of the Study: Utilization of waste capsicum powder can reduce environmental pollution and increase protein supply for animal feed.     

Optimization of medium composition for improving biomass production of Lactobacillus plantarum Pi06 using the Taguchi array design and the Box-Behnken method

An immune-enhancing strain, Lactobacillus plantarum Pi06, isolated from a healthy infant was used for biomass production following optimization of the medium in shake-flask culture. Preliminary studies showed that commercial MRS medium and cultivation under static conditions generated higher biomass production than four other tested media with or without a shaking condition. The selected medium composition, consisting of glucose, yeast extract, soy peptone, ammonium citrate, and corn steep liquor, was further optimized using a systematic method that integrated the Taguchi array design and the Box-Behnken method. The response effects of these factors were first investigated using Taguchi design under an L ₁₆ (4⁵) array. The suggested medium composition, derived from Statistica 7.1 using the Taguchi design, was applied to cultivate cells and a biomass of 7.16 g dry cell weight (DCW)/L was obtained. Response surface methodology based on the Box-Behnken method for the three response variables of glucose, yeast extract, and corn steep liquor was then used to further increase the biomass level to 8.94 g DCW/L. The resulting optimum medium consisted of 35 g/L glucose, 35 g/L yeast extract, and 40 mL/L corn steep liquor. Compared with the initial medium, the biomass yield was improved from 4.31 to 8.94 g DCW/L, an enhancement of approximately 107%.     

Enhanced Biosynthesis of Sulfide Oxidase by Arthrobacter Species Using Response Surface Methodology

Response surface methodology was used to develop a fermentation medium for the enhanced biosynthesis of a novel sulfide oxidase by Arthrobacter species strain FR‐3. The interactive effect of the medium components – such as glucose as the carbon source, and tryptone and yeast extract as the nitrogen source – was evaluated by a 2³‐factorial central composite statistical design. Glucose and yeast extract were found to be the more influential medium constituents compared to tryptone since they had lower coefficients of linear effect, P‐values (< 0.02). The optimal fermentation medium components for the enhanced production of sulfide oxidase were recorded as glucose (8.98 g/L), tryptone (10.62 g/L) and yeast extract (7.3 g/L). Optimization of the medium constituents increased the experimental enzyme yield by 54 % compared to the unoptimized medium. This is the first report on the overproduction of sulfide oxidase by using response surface methodology.

Application of oil refinery waste in the biosynthesis of glycolipids by yeast

Candida antarctica or Candida apicola synthesized surfactants (glycolipids) in the cultivation medium supplemented with oil refinery waste, either with soapstock (from 5.0% to 12.0% v/v) or post-refinery fatty acids (from 2.0% to 5.0% v/v). The efficiency of glycolipids synthesis was determined by the amount of waste supplemented to the medium and was from 7.3 to 13.4 g/l and from 6.6 to 10.5 g/l in the medium supplemented with soapstock and post-refinery fatty acids, respectively. The studied yeast also synthesized glycolipids in the non-supplemented medium however, by the enrichment of medium with the oil refinery waste, a 7.5-8.5-fold greater concentration of glycolipids was obtained in the post-culture liquid then in the medium without addition of oil refinery waste. The yeast synthesized from 6.6 to 10.3 g dry biomass/l and the intra-cellular fat content was from 16.8% to 30.2%. The efficiency of glycolipids synthesis was determined by yeast species, medium acidity and culture period. The surface tension of the post-culture liquid separated from yeast biomass was reduced to 35.6 mN/m, which corresponded to the surface tension obtained at the critical micelle concentration of glycolipids.
