Integrated biorefinery processes for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to value added materials: Paving a path towards circular economy

G. Velvizhi et al.

Summary: Lignocellulosic biomass serves as an effective and sustainable alternative for producing biofuels and bio-based products, but its degradation poses a significant challenge. Integrating multiple unit processes is essential to produce a wider range of bio-based products, which can enhance yield, reduce reaction time, and lower costs. Process integration can lead to various outcomes that guide towards the development of circular economy.

Particle size influence on the composition of sugars in corncob hemicellulose hydrolysate for xylose fermentation by Meyerozyma caribbica

Arumugam Nagarajan et al.

Summary: Xylitol production was achieved using acidophilic Meyerozyma caribbica, with different particle sizes resulting in varying glucose and xylose content. The study demonstrated that detoxified hydrolysate prepared using specific corncob particle size could be a prospective pretreatment process for ecofriendly and industrial scale xylitol production.

Fed-batch bioprocess development for astaxanthin production by Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous based on the utilization of Prosopis sp. pods extract

Miguel Angel Villegas-Mendez et al.

Summary: This study focuses on using renewable sources for microbial production of carotenoids, particularly astaxanthin and beta-carotene, proposing two strategies for high yield production. The research demonstrated the correlation between oxygen transfer and carotenoids' production, showing that a higher oxygen transfer rate is required for carotenoid production in certain media. The study also highlighted the potential of using mesquite feedstock in a fed-batch bioprocess to improve carotenoids' yield.

Targeting pathway expression to subcellular organelles improves astaxanthin synthesis in Yarrowia lipolytica

Yongshuo Ma et al.

Summary: This study explores the strategy of expressing the astaxanthin biosynthesis pathway in sub-organelles of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to achieve efficient synthesis of astaxanthin, leading to increased yield and reduced accumulation of intermediates. Targeting the astaxanthin pathway to subcellular organelles accelerates conversion and significantly improves synthesis, ultimately enhancing compartmentalized isoprenoid biosynthesis in Y. lipolytica.

Influence of prefoldin subunit 4 on the tolerance of Kluyveromyces marxianus to lignocellulosic biomass-derived inhibitors

Nini Zhang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that KmPFD4 plays a positive role in inhibitor tolerance and can be utilized for the advancement of inhibitor-tolerant platform strains. Disruption of KmPFD4 leads to increased ROS concentration and hinders the assembly of actin and tubulin, resulting in reduced inhibitor tolerance. KmPFD4 impacts inhibitor tolerance by regulating gene expression related to ROS elimination, ATP production, and NAD(+) synthesis in response to inhibitors.
