Development of bioprocess for corncob-derived levulinic acid production

Joon-Pyo Lee et al.

Summary: Levulinic acid, a significant platform chemical derived from biomass, can be utilized for producing valuable biofuels, biopolymers, and biopharmaceuticals. This study optimized the production of levulinic acid from agrowastes through statistical analysis. By selecting corncob as the feedstock with a total carbohydrate content of 71.93%, a Box-Behnken design was employed to optimize the hydrothermal conversion process at 180 degrees C for 30 minutes using 1 M H2SO4 as the catalyst and 120 g/L corncob. The maximum yield of 19.9% and co-production of 8.1 g/L formic acid were achieved. The results contribute to the valorization of levulinic acid and offer valuable insights for utilizing agrowastes as renewable feedstocks in biorefineries to address the climate crisis.

Recent advances in microbial production of medium chain fatty acid from renewable carbon resources: A comprehensive review

Jung Ho Ahn et al.

Summary: This review comprehensively summarizes current advances in microbial production of medium chain length fatty acids (MCFAs) from renewable resources. Detailed information is provided on two major MCFA production pathways using various renewable resources and other auxiliary pathways. In addition, conventional and well-studied MCFA producers are classified into two categories, natural and synthetic producers, and their characteristics on MCFA production are outlined. Moreover, various engineering strategies employed to achieve the highest MCFAs production up to date are showcased together with key enzymes suggested for MCFA overproduction. Finally, future challenges and perspectives are discussed towards more efficient production of bio-based MCFA production.

Population genomics of the pathogenic yeast Candida tropicalis identifies hybrid isolates in environmental samples

Caoimhe E. O'Brien et al.

Summary: The study analyzed 77 isolates of Candida tropicalis and found a wide range of genetic diversity, with some isolates being highly heterozygous hybrids formed through mating between different parents. The hybrids were more commonly found in environmental niches rather than clinical settings, suggesting that hybridization is not linked to virulence in this species. Additionally, a genomic variant required for growth on specific amino acids was identified through genotype-phenotype correlation and CRISPR-Cas9 editing.
