Project description:Background: Production of biofuels and bioproducts from lignocellulosic material is limited due to the complexity of the cell wall structure. This necessitates the use of physical, chemical, and/or physico-chemical pretreatment technologies, which adds significant capital, operational, and environmental costs. Biological pretreatment strategies have the potential to mitigate these expenses by harnessing the innate ability of specialized bacteria and fungi to deconstruct lignocellulose. White-rot fungi (e.g. Trametes versicolor) have been shown to be effective at biological pretreatment of lignocellulose, yet it was uncertain if these fungi are feedstock agnostic or are able to sense subtle changes in cell wall chemistry. Results: The present study examined the transcriptome response by Trametes versicolor to transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus tremula × alba) lines with altered syringyl (S) and guaiacyl (G) lignin. Specifically, the transcriptional response of the fungus to wild-type wood was compared to that from the wood of six transgenic lines within three lignin phenotypes, LSX (low S with hydroxy-G), LSHG (low S with high G), and HS (high S), with 350 transcripts showing significant differences among the samples. The transcriptome of T. versicolor varied according to the lignin phenotype of the wood, with the LSX wood resulting in the most substantial changes in T. versicolor transcript abundance. Specifically, the LSX wood led to 50 upregulated and 48 downregulated transcripts from WT at the 2-fold or greater threshold. For example, transcripts for the lignin peroxidases LiP3 and LiP10 were downregulated (approximately 12X and 31X lower, respectively) by the fungus on LSX wood compared to wild-type wood. LSX wood also resulted in approximately 11X lower transcript numbers of endo-β-1,4-glucanase yet led to an increase in expression of certain hemicellulases, further highlighting the altered deconstruction strategy by the fungus on this wood type. Conclusions: Overall, the results of this study demonstrated that T. versicolor was able to respond to transgenic poplar wood with the same genetic background, which has important implications for biological pretreatment strategies involving feedstocks that are genetically modified or have considerable natural variations in cell wall chemistry.

Project description:Background: Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising renewable feedstock for the microbial production of fuels. To release the major fermentable sugars such as glucose and xylose, pretreatment, hydrolysis, and subsequent conditioning of biomass feedstock are needed. During this process, many toxic compounds are produced or introduced which subsequently inhibit microbial growth and in many cases the production titer and rate. An understanding of the toxic effects of compounds found in hydrolysate on the fermentation microorganism is critical to improving biofuel yields in the process. One of the inhibitory compounds is furfural, liberated from hemicelluloses, which strongly inhibits the cell growth and ethanol production especially from xylose. Zymomonas mobilis is a capable ethanologenic bacterium with high ethanol productivity and high levels of ethanol tolerance. The development of robust biocatalyst to tolerate the lignocellulosic pretreatment inhibitors is one of the key elements for economic biofuel production. Results: In this study, the molecular responses of Z. mobilis to furfural, one major pretreatment inhibitor, were investigated using transcriptomic approaches of chip-based microarray. Furfural shock time course experiment with 3 g/L furfural supplemented when cells reach exponential phase and stress response experiment in the presence of 2 g/L furfural from the beginning of fermentation were carried out to study the short and long-term effect of furfural on 8b physiological and transcriptional profiles. The presence and supplementation of furfural negatively affect 8b growth in terms of final biomass and the fermentation time. Transcriptomic studies indicated that the response of 8b to furfural is dynamic, complex and differences exist between short-term shock response and long-term stress response. However, the gene function categories are similar with most downregulated genes related to translation and biosynthesis, while the furfural-upregulated genes were mostly related to cellular processes of general stress response and energy metabolism. Conclusions: Similar to previous report that acetate inhibited the growth of Z. mobilis 8b in RM using glucose or xylose as carbon source, the existence or supplementation of another major hydrolysate inhibitor furfural also inhibited 8b growth with slowing the substrate utilization and ethanol production. The difference between carbon sources is more dramatic than that of the major hydrolysate inhibitors of both NH4OAc (GSE57553) and furfural (this study). Several gene targets have been selected for genetic studies with promising preliminary results.

Project description:Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are intermediates in the methane formation pathway of anaerobic digestion and can be produced through the fermentation of organic wastes. VFAs have become an anticipated resource- and cost-effective way to replace fossil resources with higher added value and more versatile fuels and chemicals. However, there are still challenges in the production of targeted compounds from diverse and complex biomasses, such as urban biowastes. In this study, the aim was to modulate the microbial communities through inoculum treatment to enhance the production of green chemicals. Thermal and freeze-thaw treatments were applied to the anaerobic digester inoculum to inhibit the growth of methanogens and to enhance the performance of acidogenic and acetogenic bacteria. VFA fermentation after different inoculum treatments was studied in batch scale using urban biowaste as the substrate and the process performance was assessed with chemical and microbial analyses. Inoculum treatments, especially thermal treatment, were shown to increase VFA yields, which were also correlating with the dynamics of the microbial communities and retention times of the test. There was a strong correlation between VFA production and the relative abundances of the microbial orders Clostridiales (families Ruminococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae and Clostridiaceae), and Lactobacillales. A syntrophic relationship of these taxa with members of the Methanobacteriales order was also presumed.

Project description:Powdered activated carbon (AC) is commonly used as an effective additive to enhance anaerobic digestion (AD), but little is known about how the metabolic pathways resulting from adding AC change the microbial association network and enhance food waste treatment. In this work, the use of AC in an anaerobic digestion system for food waste was explored. Using bioinformatics analysis, taxonomic trees and the KEGG pathway analysis, changes in microbial network and biometabolic pathways were tracked. The overall effect of these changes were used to explain and validate improved digestion performance. The results showed that AC accelerated the decomposition of edible oil in food waste, enhancing the conversion of food waste to methane with the optimized dosage of 12?g AC per reactor. Specifically, when AC was added, the proponoate metabolic pathway that converts propanoic acid to acetic acid became more prominent, as measured by 16S rRNA in the microbial community. The other two metabolic pathways, Lipid Metabolism and Methane Metabolism, were also enhanced. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that AC promoted the proliferation of syntrophic microorganisms such as Methanosaeta and Geobacter, forming a highly intensive syntrophic microbial network.

Project description:Current understanding of amino acid (AA) degraders in anaerobic digesters is mainly based on cultured species, whereas microorganisms that play important roles in a complex microbial community remain poorly characterized. This study investigated short-term enrichments degrading single AAs using metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. Metagenomic analysis revealed that populations related to cultured AA degraders had an abundance <2.5% of the sequences. In contrast, metagenomic-assembled bins related to uncultured Bacteroidales collectively accounted for >35% of the sequences. Phylogenetic analyses suggested that these Bacteroidales populations represented a yet-to-be characterized family lineage, i.e., Bacteroidetes vadinHA17. The bins possessed the genetic capacity related to protein degradation, including surface adhesion (3-7 genes), secreted peptidase (52-77 genes), and polypeptide-specific transporters (2-5 genes). Furthermore, metatranscriptomics revealed that these Bacteroidales populations expressed the complete metabolic pathways for degrading 16 to 17 types of AAs in enrichments fed with respective substrates. These characteristics were distinct from cultured AA degraders including Acidaminobacter and Peptoclostridium, suggesting the uncultured Bacteroidales were the major protein-hydrolyzing and AA-degrading populations. These uncultured Bacteroidales were further found to be dominant and active in full-scale anaerobic digesters, indicating their important ecological roles in the native habitats. "Candidatus Aminobacteroidaceae" was proposed to represent the previously uncharted family Bacteroidetes vadinHA17.
