Sequential Production of ᴅ-xylonate and Ethanol from Non-Detoxified Corncob at Low-pH by Pichia kudriavzevii via a Two-Stage Fermentation Strategy.

ABSTRACT: Improving the comprehensive utilization of sugars in lignocellulosic biomass is a major challenge for enhancing the economic viability of lignocellulose biorefinement. A robust yeast Pichia kudriavzevii N-X showed excellent performance in ethanol production under high temperature and low pH conditions and was engineered for ᴅ-xylonate production without xylitol generation. The recombinant strain P. kudriavzevii N-X/S1 was employed for sequential production of ᴅ-xylonate and ethanol from ᴅ-xylose, feeding on ᴅ-glucose without pH control in a two-stage strategy of aerobic and shifting micro-aerobic fermentation. Acid-pretreated corncob without detoxification and filtration was used for ᴅ-xylonate production, then simultaneous saccharification and ethanol fermentation was performed with cellulase added at pH 4.0 and at 40 °C. By this strategy, 33.5 g/L ᴅ-xylonate and 20.8 g/L ethanol were produced at yields of 1.10 g/g ᴅ-xylose and 84.3% of theoretical value, respectively. We propose a promising approach for the sequential production of ᴅ-xylonate and ethanol from non-detoxified corncob using a single microorganism.

The potential of the newly isolated thermotolerant yeast Pichia kudriavzevii RZ8-1 for high-temperature ethanol production.

Project description:High potential, thermotolerant, ethanol-producing yeasts were successfully isolated in this study. Based on molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis, the isolated thermotolerant yeasts were clustered in the genera of Pichia kudriavzevii, Candida tropicalis, Candida orthopsilosis, Candida glabrata and Kodamea ohmeri. A comparative study of ethanol production using 160g/L glucose as a substrate revealed several yeast strains that could produce high ethanol concentrations at high temperatures. When sugarcane bagasse (SCB) hydrolysate containing 85g/L glucose was used as a substrate, the yeast strain designated P. kudriavzevii RZ8-1 exhibited the highest ethanol concentrations of 35.51g/L and 33.84g/L at 37°C and 40°C, respectively. It also exhibited multi-stress tolerance, such as heat, ethanol and acetic acid tolerance. During ethanol fermentation at high temperature (42°C), genes encoding heat shock proteins (ssq1 and hsp90), alcohol dehydrogenases (adh1, adh2, adh3 and adh4) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (tdh2) were up-regulated, suggesting that these genes might play a crucial role in the thermotolerance ability of P. kudriavzevii RZ8-1 under heat stress. These findings suggest that the growth and ethanol fermentation activities of this organism under heat stress were restricted to the expression of genes involved not only in heat shock response but also in the ethanol production pathway.

Ethanol production from dilute-acid steam exploded lignocellulosic feedstocks using an isolated multistress-tolerant Pichia kudriavzevii strain.

Project description:Renewable and low-cost lignocellulosic wastes have attractive applications in bioethanol production. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most widely used ethanol-producing microbe; however, its fermentation temperature (30-35°C) is not optimum (40-50°C) for enzymatic hydrolysis in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. In this study, we successfully performed an SSF process at 42°C from a high solid loading of 20% (w/v) acid-impregnated steam explosion (AISE)-treated rice straw with low inhibitor concentrations (furfural 0.19 g l-1 and acetic acid 0.95 g l-1 ) using an isolate Pichia kudriavzevii SI, where the ethanol titre obtained (33.4 gp l-1 ) was nearly 39% greater than that produced by conventional S. cerevisiae BCRC20270 at 30°C (24.1 gp l-1 ). In addition, P. kudriavzevii SI exhibited a high conversion efficiency of > 91% from enzyme-saccharified hydrolysates of AISE-treated plywood chips and sugarcane bagasse, although high concentrations of furaldehydes, such as furfural 1.07-1.21 g l-1 , 5-hydroxymethyl furfural 0.20-0.72 g l-1 and acetic acid 4.80-7.65 g l-1 , were present. This is the first report of ethanol fermentation by P. kudriavzevii using various acid-treated lignocellulosic feedstocks without detoxification or added nutrients. The multistress-tolerant strain SI has greater potential than the conventional S. cerevisiae for use in the cellulosic ethanol industry.

Fungal peritonitis caused by Pichia kudriavzevii following sleeve gastrectomy.

Project description:A 23-year-old female, who had undergone a sleeve gastrectomy two weeks earlier, presented with abdominal complaints. A CT scan showed portal vein thrombosis, bowel ischemia, and intra-abdominal sepsis. Anastomosis and antibiotic therapy were not successful, and the patient went into multi-organ failure and died. Multiple cultures revealed a yeast fungus confirmed as Pichia kudriavzevii using rRNA gene sequencing. We report the first case of peritonitis in association with P kudriavzevii. In addition to the abdominal complications and surgical interventions, the yeast was found to have significantly contributed to the patient's death. SIMILAR CASES PUBLISHED: None. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.

Metabolic engineering of the acid-tolerant yeast Pichia kudriavzevii for efficient L-malic acid production at low pH

Project description:Soluble pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase (EcSthA) derived from Escherichia coli was introduced into the L-malic acid producing strain MA009-5 of Pichia kudriavzevii to obtain strain MA009-10. It was found that MA009-10 was superior to MA009-5 in terms of L-malic acid titer, glucose consumption rate, and glucose/L-malic acid conversion rate. To elucidate the effect of EcSthA expression on L-malic acid synthesis, we analyzed the RNA-seq data of both strains.

Xylitol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae overexpressing different xylose reductases using non-detoxified hemicellulosic hydrolysate of corncob.

Project description:Xylitol production was compared in fed batch fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains overexpressing xylose reductase (XR) genes from Candida tropicalis, Pichia stipitis, Neurospora crassa, and an endogenous gene GRE3. The gene encoding a xylose specific transporter (SUT1) from P. stipitis was cloned to improve xylose transport and fed batch fermentation was used with glucose as a cosubstrate to regenerate NADPH. Xylitol yield was near theoretical for all the strains in fed batch fermentation. The highest volumetric (0.28 gL-1 h-1) and specific (34 mgg-1 h-1) xylitol productivities were obtained by the strain overexpressing GRE3 gene, while the control strain showed 7.2 mgg-1 h-1 specific productivity. The recombinant strains carrying XR from C. tropicalis, P. stipitis, and N. crassa produced xylitol with lower specific productivity of 14.3, 6.8, and 6.3 mgg-1 h-1, respectively, than GRE3 overexpressing strain. The glucose fed as cosubstrate was converted to biomass and ethanol, while xylose was only converted to xylitol. The efficiency of ethanol production was in the range of 38-45 % of the theoretical maximum for all the strains. Xylitol production from the non-detoxified corncob hemicellulosic hydrolysate by recombinant S. cerevisiae was reported for the first time. Xylitol productivity was found to be equivalent in the synthetic xylose as well as hemicellulosic hydrolysate-based media showing no inhibition on the S. cerevisiae due to the inhibitors present in the hydrolysate. A systematic evaluation of heterologous XRs and endogenous GRE3 genes was performed, and the strain overexpressing the endogenous GRE3 gene showed the best xylitol productivity.

Genomic and probiotic characterization of SJP-SNU strain of Pichia kudriavzevii.

Project description:The yeast strain SJP-SNU was investigated as a probiotic and was characterized with respect to growth temperature, bile salt resistance, hydrogen sulfide reducing activity, intestinal survival ability and chicken embryo pathogenicity. In addition, we determined the complete genomic and mitochondrial sequences of SJP-SNU and conducted comparative genomics analyses. SJP-SNU grew rapidly at 37 °C and formed colonies on MacConkey agar containing bile salt. SJP-SNU reduced hydrogen sulfide produced by Salmonella serotype Enteritidis and, after being fed to 4-week-old chickens, could be isolated from cecal feces. SJP-SNU did not cause mortality in 10-day-old chicken embryos. From 13 initial contigs, 11 were finally assembled and represented 10 chromosomal sequences and 1 mitochondrial DNA sequence. Comparative genomic analyses revealed that SJP-SNU was a strain of Pichia kudriavzevii. Although SJP-SNU possesses pathogenicity-related genes, they showed very low amino acid sequence identities to those of Candida albicans. Furthermore, SJP-SNU possessed useful genes, such as phytases and cellulase. Thus, SJP-SNU is a useful yeast possessing the basic traits of a probiotic, and further studies to demonstrate its efficacy as a probiotic in the future may be warranted.

Isolation of thermotolerant yeast Pichia kudriavzevii from nuruk.

Project description:Thermotolerant yeast strains were isolated from nuruk, a traditional Korean fermentation starter in which variety of microorganisms are present. Among the isolates, the MBY1358 identified as yeast Pichia kudriavzevii showed significantly higher growth rate (0.59 ± 0.00 1/h) at 44 °C than other strains. Maximum ethanol concentration of 8.35 ± 0.03 g/L was obtained from 20 g/L glucose with yield of 0.44 ± 0.01 g/g at 44 °C, which is 1.14 times ethanol production of the control strain of P. kudriavzevii. The MBY1358, which was significantly more thermotolerant than the control strain and fermented 200 g/L glucose to 107.33 ± 5.03 g/L ethanol at 44 °C, was deposited to Korean Collection for Type Cultures (KCTC) under the accession number 27654.

Endogenous Ethanol and Triglyceride Production by Gut Pichia kudriavzevii, Candida albicans and Candida glabrata Yeasts in Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis.

Project description:Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) increases with fructose consumption and metabolic syndrome and has been recently linked with endogenous ethanol production, notably by high alcohol-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (HiAlc Kpn). Candida yeasts are the main causes of auto-brewery syndromes but have been neglected in NASH. Here, the fecal ethanol and microbial content of 10 cases and 10 controls were compared. Ethanol was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Species identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS, and triglyceride production was assessed by a colorimetric enzymatic assay. The fecal ethanol concentration was four times higher in patients with NASH (median [interquartile range]: 0.13 [0.05-1.43] vs. 0.034 [0.008-0.57], p = 0.037). Yeasts were isolated from almost all cases but not from controls (9/10 vs. 0/10, p = 0.0001). Pichia kudriavzevii was the most frequent (four patients), while Candida glabrata, Candida albicans, and Galactomyces geotrichum were identified in two cases each. The concentration of ethanol produced by yeasts was 10 times higher than that produced by bacteria (median, 3.36 [0.49-5.60] vs. 0.32 [0.009-0.43], p = 0.0029). Using a 10% D-fructose restricted medium, we showed that NASH-associated yeasts transformed fructose in ethanol. Unexpectedly, yeasts isolated from NASH patients produced a substantial amount of triglycerides. Pichia kudriavzevii strains produced the maximal ethanol and triglyceride levels in vitro. Our preliminary human descriptive and in vitro experimental results suggest that yeasts have been neglected. In addition to K. pneumoniae, gut Pichia and Candida yeasts could be linked with NASH pathophysiology in a species- and strain-specific manner through fructose-dependent endogenous alcohol and triglyceride production.

Microbiological and Chemical Characteristics of Wet Coffee Fermentation Inoculated With Hansinaspora uvarum and Pichia kudriavzevii and Their Impact on Coffee Sensory Quality.

Project description:Hansinaspora uvarum and Pichia kudriavzevii were used as starter cultures to conduct inoculated wet fermentations of coffee beans, and their growth, metabolic activities and impact on the flavor, aroma and overall sensory quality of coffee were compared with spontaneous fermentation (control). H. uvarum and P. kudriavzevii dominated the fermentations, growing to maximum populations of about 10.0 log CFU/ml compared with 8.0 log CFU/ml in the spontaneous fermentation. The dominance of the inoculated yeasts led to faster and more complete utilization of sugars in the mucilage, with resultant production of 2-3 fold higher concentrations of metabolites such as glycerol, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, and organic acids in the fermented green beans. Cup tests showed coffee produced from the inoculated fermentations, especially with P. kudriavzevii, received higher scores for flavor, aroma and acidity than the control. The findings of this study confirmed the crucial role of yeasts in the wet fermentation of coffee beans and their contribution to high quality coffee, and demonstrated the potential H. uvarum and P. kudriavzevii as starter cultures in the process.
