This class of biosurfactants includes mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), which have gained particular interest due to their moisturizing and healing activity for dry and damaged human skin, arising from conditions such as eczema. Traditionally, MELs have been produced by growing certain basidiomycetous yeasts on vegetable oils. However, oils are a comparatively expensive substrate, which negatively affects the economic performance of MEL production. In addition to this, vegetable oils significantly complicate the downstream processing required to produce a product with the required purity for most applications. To address these challenges, this study investigated MEL-A production exclusively from hydrophilic carbon sources by Ustilago maydis DSM 4500. By implementing a fed-batch production strategy, maximum MEL-A concentration of 0.87 g/L was achieved from glucose exclusively. Also, adding micronutrients (such as MnSO₄) to MEL-A production showed a 24.1% increase in the product titer, implying other metabolites are formed, favoring MEL production.</p>","PeriodicalId":9024,"journal":{"name":"Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11470959/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142280166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.
