Enhanced production of tetramethylpyrazine in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus licheniformis</Emphasis> BL1 by <Emphasis Type="Italic">bdhA</Emphasis> disruption and 2,3-butanediol supplementation

The 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) dehydrogenase gene (bdhA) of Bacillus licheniformis BL1 was disrupted to construct the tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-producing BLA strain. During microaerobic fermentation, the bdhA-disrupted BLA strain produced 46.98 g TMP/l, and this yield was 23.99 % higher than that produced by the parent BL1 strain. In addition, the yield of acetoin, which is a TMP precursor, also increased by 28.98 % in BLA. The TMP production by BL1 was enhanced by supplementing the fermentation medium with 2,3-BD. The yield of TMP improved from 37.89 to 44.77 g/l as the concentration of 2,3-BD increased from 0 to 2 g/l. The maximum TMP and acetoin yields increased by 18.16 and 17.87 %, respectively with the increase in 2,3-BD concentration from 0 to 2 g/l. However, no increase was observed when the concentration of 2,3-BD in the matrix was ≥3 g/l. This study provides a valuable strategy to enhance TMP and acetoin productivity of mutagenic strains by gene manipulation and optimizing fermentation conditions.     

Concentration-driven reverse membrane bioreactor for the fermentation of highly inhibitory lignocellulosic hydrolysate

Optimal production of lignocellulosic bioethanol is hindered due to commonly faced issues with the presence of inhibitory compounds and sequentially consumed sugars in the lignocellulosic hydrolysate. Therefore, in order to find a robust fermentation approach, this study aimed at enhancing simultaneous co-assimilation of sugars, and inhibitor tolerance and detoxification. Therefore, fermentation of toxic wheat straw hydrolysate containing up to 20 g/l furfural, using the concentration-driven diffusion-based technique of reverse membrane bioreactor (rMBR) was studied. The rMBR fermentation of the hydrolysate led to complete furfural detoxification and the conversion of 87 % of sugars into ethanol at a yield of 0.48 g/g. Moreover, when the toxicity level of the hydrolysate was increased to 9 g/l of initial furfural, the system responded exceptionally by reducing 89 % of the inhibitor while only experiencing about 25 % drop in the ethanol yield. In addition, using this diffusion-based set-up in extremely inhibitory conditions (16 g/l furfural), cells could detoxify 40 % of the furfural at a high initial furfural to cell ratio of 9.5:1. The rMBR set-up applied proved that by properly synchronizing the medium condition, membrane area, and inhibitor to cell ratio, some of the shortcomings with conventional lignocellulosic fermentation can be tackled, guaranteeing a robust fermentation.     

Direct ethanol production from cellulosic materials at high temperature using the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus displaying cellulolytic enzymes

To exploit cellulosic materials for fuel ethanol production, a microorganism capable of high temperature and simultaneous saccharification–fermentation has been required. However, a major drawback is the optimum temperature for the saccharification and fermentation. Most ethanol-fermenting microbes have an optimum temperature for ethanol fermentation ranging between 28 °C and 37 °C, while the activity of cellulolytic enzymes is highest at around 50 °C and significantly decreases with a decrease in temperature. Therefore, in the present study, a thermotolerant yeast, Kluyveromyces marxianus, which has high growth and fermentation at elevated temperatures, was used as a producer of ethanol from cellulose. The strain was genetically engineered to display Trichoderma reesei endoglucanase and Aspergillus aculeatus β-glucosidase on the cell surface, which successfully converts a cellulosic β-glucan to ethanol directly at 48 °C with a yield of 4.24 g/l from 10 g/l within 12 h. The yield (in grams of ethanol produced per gram of β-glucan consumed) was 0.47 g/g, which corresponds to 92.2% of the theoretical yield. This indicates that high-temperature cellulose fermentation to ethanol can be efficiently accomplished using a recombinant K. marxianus strain displaying thermostable cellulolytic enzymes on the cell surface.     

Ethanol fermentation of acid-hydrolyzed cellulosic pyrolysate with Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Acid-hydrolysis of cellulosic pyrolysate to glucose and its fermentation to ethanol were investigated. The maximum glucose yield (17.4%) was obtained by the hydrolysis with 0.2 mol/l sulfuric acid using autoclaving at 121 degrees C for 20 min. The fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae of a hydrolysate medium containing 31.6 g/l glucose gave 14.2 g/l ethanol after 24 h, whereas the fermentation of the medium containing 31.6 g/l pure glucose gave 13.7 g/l ethanol after 18 h. The results showed that acid-hydrolyzed pyrolysate could be used for ethanol production. Different nitrogen sources were evaluated and the best ethanol concentration (15.1 g/l) was achieved by single urea. S. cerevisiae (R) was obtained by adaptation of S. cerevisiae to the hydrolysate medium for 12 times, and 40.2 g/l ethanol was produced by it in the fermentation with the hydrolysate medium containing 95.8 g/l glucose, which was about 47% increase in ethanol production compared to its parent strain.

Production of lactic acid and fungal biomass by Rhizopus fungi from food processing waste streams

This study proposed a novel waste utilization bioprocess for production of lactic acid and fungal biomass from waste streams by fungal species of Rhizopus arrhizus 36017 and R. oryzae 2062. The lactic acid and fungal biomass were produced in a single-stage simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process using potato, corn, wheat and pineapple waste streams as production media. R. arrhizus 36017 gave a high lactic acid yield up to 0.94-0.97 g/g of starch or sugars associated with 4-5 g/l of fungal biomass produced, while 17-19 g/l fungal biomass with a lactic acid yield of 0.65-0.76 g/g was produced by the R. oryzae 2062 in 36-48 h fermentation. Supplementation of 2 g/l of ammonium sulfate, yeast extract and peptone stimulated an increase in 8-15% lactic acid yield and 10-20% fungal biomass.     

Enhancement of succinic acid production by osmotic-tolerant mutant strain of Actinobacillus succinogenes

Fermentation and succinic acid production by Actinobacillus succinogenes YZ0819 was inhibited by high NaCl. To enhance the resistance of this strain to osmotic stress, an NaCl-tolerant mutant strain of A. succinogenes (CH050) was screened and selected through a continuous culture using survival in 0.7 M NaCl as the selection criterion. Using Na₂CO₃ as the pH regulator and glucose as the carbon source in batch fermentation, the isolated osmo-resistant stain, A. succinogenes CH050, produced up to 66 g/l succinic acid with a yield of 73.37% (w/w). The concentration of succinic acid and mass yield were increased by 37.5 and 4.37%, respectively, compared to the parent strain. The dry cell weight reached 10.1 g/l, which is 37% higher than that of the parent strain. The high tolerance of A. succinogenes CH050 to osmotic stress increased improved the succinic acid production from batch fermentation.     

Bioconversion of grape must into modulated gluconic acid production by Aspergillus niger ORS-4.410

AIMS: Analysis of regulators for modulated gluconic acid production under surface fermentation (SF) condition using grape must as the cheap carbohydrate source, by mutant Aspergillus niger ORS-4.410. Replacement of conventional fermentation condition by solid-state surface fermentation (SSF) for semi-continuous production of gluconic acid by pseudo-immobilization of A. niger ORS-4.410. METHODS AND RESULTS: Grape must after rectification was utilized for gluconic acid production in batch fermentation in SF and SSF processes using mutant strain of A. niger ORS-4.410. Use of rectified grape must led to the improved levels of gluconic acid production (80-85 g l(-1)) in the fermentation medium containing 0.075% (NH4)2HPO4; 0.1% KH2PO4 and 0.015% MgSO4.7H2O at an initial pH 6.6 (+/-0.1) under surface fermentation. Gluconic acid production was modulated by incorporating the 2% soybean oil, 2% starch and 1% H2O2 in fermentation medium at continuously high aeration rate (2.0 l min(-1)). Interestingly, 95.8% yield of gluconic acid was obtained when A. niger ORS-4.410 was pseudo-immobilized on cellulose fibres (bagasse) under SSF. Four consecutive fermentation cycles were achieved with a conversion rate of 0.752-0.804 g g(-1) of substrate into gluconic acid under SSF. CONCLUSIONS: Use of additives modulated the gluconic acid production under SF condition. Semi-continuous production of gluconic acid was achieved with pseudo-immobilized mycelia of A. niger ORS-4.410 having a promising yield (95.8%) under SSF condition. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The bioconversion of grape must into modulated gluconic acid production under SSF conditions can further be employed in fermentation industries by replacing the conventional carbohydrate sources and expensive, energy consuming fermentation processes.     

Repeated fermentation from raw starch using Saccharomyces cerevisiae displaying both glucoamylase and α-amylase

A diploid yeast strain displaying both α-amylase and glucoamylase was developed for repeated fermentation from raw starch. First, the construct of α-amylase was optimized for cell surface display, as there have been no reports of α-amylase-displaying yeast. The modified yeast displaying both glucoamylase and α-amylase produced 46.5 g/l of ethanol from 200 g/l of raw corn starch after 120 h of fermentation, and this was 1.5-fold higher when compared to native α-amylase-displaying yeast. Using the glucoamylase and modified α-amylase co-displaying diploid strain, we repeated fermentation from 100g/l of raw starch for 23 cycles without the loss of α-amylase or glucoamylase activity. The average ethanol productivity and yield during repeated fermentation were 1.61 g/l/h and 76.6% of the theoretical yield, respectively. This novel yeast may be useful for reducing the cost of bio-ethanol production and may be suitable for industrial-scale bio-ethanol production.
