  • Title: Enhanced ethanol production from industrial lignocellulose hydrolysates by a hydrolysate-cofermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain.
    Author: Huang S, Liu T, Peng B, Geng A.
    Journal: Bioprocess Biosyst Eng; 2019 May; 42(5):883-896. PubMed ID: 30820665.
    Abstract:
    Industrial production of lignocellulosic ethanol requires a microorganism utilizing both hexose and pentose, and tolerating inhibitors. In this study, a hydrolysate-cofermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain was obtained through one step in vivo DNA assembly of pentose-metabolizing pathway genes, followed by consecutive adaptive evolution in pentose media containing acetic acid, and direct screening in biomass hydrolysate media. The strain was able to coferment glucose and xylose in synthetic media with the respective maximal specific rates of glucose and xylose consumption, and ethanol production of 3.47, 0.38 and 1.62 g/g DW/h, with an ethanol titre of 41.07 g/L and yield of 0.42 g/g. Industrial wheat straw hydrolysate fermentation resulted in maximal specific rates of glucose and xylose consumption, and ethanol production of 2.61, 0.54 and 1.38 g/g DW/h, respectively, with an ethanol titre of 54.11 g/L and yield of 0.44 g/g. These are among the best for wheat straw hydrolysate fermentation through separate hydrolysis and cofermentation.
