Abstract
Endophytic fungi, as plant symbionts, produce an elaborate array of enzymes for efficient disintegration of lignocellulosic biomass into constituent monomeric sugars, making them novel source of lignocellulolytic CAZymes with immense potential in future biorefineries. The present study reports lignocellulolytic enzymes production potential of an endophytic halotolerant Penicillium oxalicum strain isolated from Citrus limon, under submerged and solid-state fermentation (SmF & SSF, respectively), in the presence and absence of salt (1 M NaCl). The comparative QTOF-LC/MS-based exoproteome analysis of the culture extracts unveiled differential expression of CAZymes, with the higher abundance of GH6 and GH7 family cellobiohydrolase in the presence of 1 M salt. The strain improvement program, employing cyclic mutagenesis and diploidization, was utilized to develop hyper-cellulase producing mutant strains of P. oxalicum. The enzyme production of the developed strain (POx-M35) was further enhanced through statistical optimization of the culture conditions utilizing glucose mix disaccharides (GMDs) as an inducer. This optimization process resulted in the lignocellulolytic cocktail that contained high titers (U/mL) of endoglucanase (EG) (146.16), cellobiohydrolase (CBHI) (6.99), β-glucosidase (β-G) (26.21), xylanase (336.05) and FPase (2.02 U/mL), which were 5.47-, 5.54-, 8.55-, 4.96-, and 4.39-fold higher when compared to the enzyme titers obtained in wild HP1, respectively. Furthermore, the lignocellulolytic cocktails designed by blending secretome produced by mutant POx-M35 with xylanases (GH10 and GH11) derived from Malbranchea cinnamomea resulted in efficient hydrolysis of unwashed acid pretreated (UWAP) rice straw slurry and mild alkali deacetylated (MAD) rice straw. This study underscores the potential of bioprospecting novel fungus and developing an improved strain for optimized production and constitution of lignocellulolytic cocktails that can be an important determinant in advancing biomass conversion technologies.
期刊介绍:
Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering provides an international peer-reviewed forum to facilitate the discussion between engineering and biological science to find efficient solutions in the development and improvement of bioprocesses. The aim of the journal is to focus more attention on the multidisciplinary approaches for integrative bioprocess design. Of special interest are the rational manipulation of biosystems through metabolic engineering techniques to provide new biocatalysts as well as the model based design of bioprocesses (up-stream processing, bioreactor operation and downstream processing) that will lead to new and sustainable production processes.
Contributions are targeted at new approaches for rational and evolutive design of cellular systems by taking into account the environment and constraints of technical production processes, integration of recombinant technology and process design, as well as new hybrid intersections such as bioinformatics and process systems engineering. Manuscripts concerning the design, simulation, experimental validation, control, and economic as well as ecological evaluation of novel processes using biosystems or parts thereof (e.g., enzymes, microorganisms, mammalian cells, plant cells, or tissue), their related products, or technical devices are also encouraged.
The Editors will consider papers for publication based on novelty, their impact on biotechnological production and their contribution to the advancement of bioprocess and biosystems engineering science. Submission of papers dealing with routine aspects of bioprocess engineering (e.g., routine application of established methodologies, and description of established equipment) are discouraged.
