Using low-shear aerated and agitated bioreactor for producing two specific laccases by trametes versicolor cultures induced by 2,5-xylidine: Process development and economic analysis
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Apr 25:130737. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130737. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaccase isoforms from basidiomycetes exhibit a superior redox potential compared to commercially available laccases obtained from ascomycete fungi, rendering them more reactive toward mono-substituted phenols and polyphenolic compounds. However, basidiomycetes present limitations for large-scale culture in liquid media, restraining the current availability of laccases from this fungal class. To advance laccase production from basidiomycetes, a newly designed 14-L low-shear aerated and agitated bioreactor provided enzym...

Techno-economic analysis of biomass value-added processing informed by pilot scale de-ashing of paper sludge feedstock
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Apr 25:130744. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130744. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPaper sludge biomass represents an underutilized feedstock rich in pulped and processed cellulose which is currently a waste stream with significant disposal cost to industry for landfilling services. Effective fractionation of the cellulose from paper sludge presents an opportunity to yield cellulose as feedstock for value-added processes. A novel approach to cellulose fractionation is the sidehill screening system, herein studied at the pilot-plant scale. Composition analysis determined ash removal and carbohydrate r...

Biosynthetic potential of uncultured anammox community bacteria revealed through multi-omics analysis
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Apr 25;401:130740. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130740. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicrobial secondary metabolites (SMs) and their derivatives have been widely used in medicine, agriculture, and energy. Growing needs for renewable energy and the challenges posed by antibiotic resistance, cancer, and pesticides emphasize the crucial hunt for new SMs. Anaerobic ammonium-oxidation (anammox) systems harbor many uncultured or underexplored bacteria, representing potential resources for discovering novel SMs. Leveraging HiFi long-read metagenomic sequencing, 1,040 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were...

Biodegradation of acetaminophen: Microcosm centric genomic-proteomic-metabolomics evidences
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Apr 25;401:130732. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130732. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcetaminophen (APAP) is a frequently used, over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic medication. Considering increase in global consumption, its ubiquity in environment with potential toxic impacts has become a cause of great concern. Hence, bioremediation of this emerging contaminant is of paramount significance. The present study incorporates a microcosm centric omics approach to gain in-depth insights into APAP degradation by Paracoccus sp. APAP_BH8. It can metabolize APAP (300 mg kg-1) within 16 days in soil m...

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from closed activated sludge- to aerobic granular sludge-based biosystems via gas circulation
This study aimed to reduce GHG emissions (especially N2O) using a gas circulation strategy in a closed sequencing-batch reactor when the biological unit varies from activated sludge (AS) to aerobic granular sludge (AGS). Results show that gas circulation lowers pH to 6.3 ± 0.2, facilitating regular granules but elevating total N2O production. From AS to AGS, N2O emission factor increased (0.07---0.86 %) due to decreasing ammonia-oxidizing rates while the emissions of CO2 (0.3 ± 0.1 kg-CO2/kg-chemical oxygen demand) and CH4 remained in the closed biosystem. The gas circulation decreased N2O emission factor by 63 ± 15 % a...

Integration of lactic acid biorefinery with treatment of red mud from alumina refinery: win-win paradigm for waste valorization
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Apr 25;401:130743. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130743. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe cost of detoxification and neutralization poses certain challenges to the development of an economically viable lactic acid biorefinery with lignocellulosic biomass as feedstock. Herein, red mud, an alkaline waste, was explored as both a detoxifying agent and a neutralizer. Red mud treatment of lignocellulosic hydrolysate effectively removed the inhibitors generated in dilute acid pretreatment, improving the lactic acid productivity from 1.0 g/L·h-1 to 1.9 g/L·h-1 in later fermentation. In addition, red mud c...
