Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is a commonly used strategy for lignocellulosic biomass valorization. Adding small amounts of H2O2 during SSF can sustain the activity of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and improve cellulose depolymerization efficiency, leading to increased lactic acid production.
Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is a well-known strategy for valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. Because the fermentation process typically is anaerobic, oxidative enzymes found in modern commercial cellulase cocktails, such as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), may be inhibited, limiting the overall efficiency of the enzymatic saccharification. Recent discoveries, however, have shown that LPMOs are active under anoxic conditions if they are provided with H2O2 at low concentrations. In this study, we build on this concept and investigate the potential of using externally added H2O2 to sustain oxidative cellulose depolymerization by LPMOs during an SSF process for lactic acid production. The results of bioreactor experiments with 100 g/L cellulose clearly show that continuous addition of small amounts of H2O2 (at a rate of 80 mu M/h) during SSF enables LPMO activity and improves lactic acid production. While further process optimization is needed, the present proof-of-concept results show that modern LPMO-containing cellulase cocktails such as Cellic CTec2 can be used in SSF setups, without sacrificing the LPMO activity in these cocktails.
