Abstract
Objectives: Expressing cellulase systems in C. glycerinogenes with extracellular secretion ability, and using fermentation with residue, enabled the recombinant strain to degrade lignocellulosic waste for efficient glycerol production, offering new option for agricultural waste transformation.
Results: Candida glycerinogenes is employed as the host strain, various cellulases were screened. Signal peptide mining and screening, and semi-rational design strategy was adopted in the host strain. The recombinant strain Cg4 had a total cellulase activity of 13.6 U/mL. Cg4 was applied to 110 g/L sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate with 40 g/L of pretreated bagasse as the substrate. The glycerol yield reached 50 g/L, with a 43.3% bagasse utilization rate, the amount of cellulase used in the degradation of lignocellulose was reduced by 12.1%.
Conclusion: Opened up a route for efficient degradation of agricultural waste of lignocellulose by C. glycerinogenes for glycerol production, the emission of lignocellulose waste had been reduced, and decreasing the need for cellulases in hydrolysis.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Letters is the world’s leading rapid-publication primary journal dedicated to biotechnology as a whole – that is to topics relating to actual or potential applications of biological reactions affected by microbial, plant or animal cells and biocatalysts derived from them.
All relevant aspects of molecular biology, genetics and cell biochemistry, of process and reactor design, of pre- and post-treatment steps, and of manufacturing or service operations are therefore included.
Contributions from industrial and academic laboratories are equally welcome. We also welcome contributions covering biotechnological aspects of regenerative medicine and biomaterials and also cancer biotechnology. Criteria for the acceptance of papers relate to our aim of publishing useful and informative results that will be of value to other workers in related fields.
The emphasis is very much on novelty and immediacy in order to justify rapid publication of authors’ results. It should be noted, however, that we do not normally publish papers (but this is not absolute) that deal with unidentified consortia of microorganisms (e.g. as in activated sludge) as these results may not be easily reproducible in other laboratories.
Papers describing the isolation and identification of microorganisms are not regarded as appropriate but such information can be appended as supporting information to a paper. Papers dealing with simple process development are usually considered to lack sufficient novelty or interest to warrant publication.
