Abstract
An industrial fermentation system using lignocellulosic hydrolysate, waste yeast hydrolysate, and mixed alkali to achieve high-yield, economical succinic acid production by Actinobacillus succinogenes was developed. Lignocellulosic hydrolysate and waste yeast hydrolysate were used efficiently as carbon sources and nitrogen source instead of the expensive glucose and yeast extract. Moreover, as a novel method for regulating pH mixed alkalis (Mg(OH)(2) and NaOH) were first used to replace the expensive MgCO(3) for succinic acid production. Using the three aforementioned substitutions, the total fermentation cost decreased by 55.9%, and 56.4 g/L succinic acid with yield of 0.73 g/g was obtained, which are almost the same production level as fermentation with glucose, yeast extract and MgCO(3). Therefore, the cheap carbon and nitrogen sources, as well as the mixed alkaline neutralize could be efficiently used instead of expensive composition for industrial succinic acid production.

Abstract
A novel method for efficient arachidonic acid rich lipids extraction was investigated. Six different enzymes (papain, pectinase, snailase, neutrase, alcalase and cellulase) were used to extract lipids from Mortierella alpina. The effects of enzyme concentration, temperature and hydrolysis time on oil recovery were evaluated using factorial experimental design and polynomial regression for each enzyme. Hydrolysis time is found to be the most important parameter for all enzymes. The ratios of enzyme mixtures were also studied. It showed that the mixtures of pectinase and papain (5:3, v/v), pectinase and alcalase (5:1, v/v) were better combined effects on oil yields. The effects of hydrolysis time and temperature were then analyzed by response surface methodology, and oil recoveries were satisfactory (104.6% for pectinase and papain and 101.3% for pectinase and alcalase). In the whole process, the lipid composition was not affected by the enzyme treatments according to fatty acid profile.

Abstract
Industrial processes of lignocellulosic material have made use of only the hexose component of the cellulose fraction. Pentoses and some minor hexoses present in the hemicellulose fraction, which may represent as much as 40% of lignocellulosic biomass, have in most cases been wasted. The lack of good methods for utilization of hemicellulose sugars is a key obstacle hindering the development of lignocellulose-based ethanol and other biofuels. In this chapter, we focus on the utilization of hemicellulose sugars, the structure of hemicellulose and its hydrolysis, and the biochemistry and process technology involved in their conversion to valuable fuels and chemicals.

Abstract
Microbial preference for glucose implies incomplete and/or slow utilization of lignocellulose hydrolysates, which is caused by the regulatory mechanism named carbon catabolite repression (CCR). In this study, a 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) producing Klebsiella oxytoca strain was engineered to eliminate glucose repression of xylose utilization. The crp(in) gene, encoding the mutant cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) receptor protein CRP(in), which does not require cAMP for functioning, was characterized and overexpressed in K. oxytoca. The engineered recombinant could utilize a mixture of glucose and xylose simultaneously, without CCR. The profiles of sugar consumption and 2,3-BD production by the engineered recombinant, in glucose and xylose mixtures, were examined and showed that glucose and xylose could be consumed simultaneously to produce 2,3-BD. This study offers a metabolic engineering strategy to achieve highly efficient utilization of sugar mixtures derived from the lignocellulosic biomass for the production of bio-based chemicals using enteric bacteria.

Abstract
Substrate concentration in 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) fermentation could not be controlled well in traditional feeding strategies, such as constant, impulse, and exponential feeding strategies. In the present study, fermentative 2,3-BD production by Klebsiella oxytoca was investigated under different batch and fed-batch strategies. The glucose-feedback fed-batch strategy was proved to be not effective for economical 2,3-BD production for the inability of timely feeding, leading that the bacteria reused 2,3-BD as carbon source for cell growth. Based on the phenomena that the byproducing acids caused the pH declining and the requirement of maintaining the pH at a proper level for both cell growth and 2,3-BD accumulation, an improved strategy of pH-stat fed-batch culture with glucose and sodium hydrate fed at the same time was established. Thus, the residual glucose concentration could be controlled through the adjustment of pH automatically. At last, efficient 2,3-BD production was fulfilled under this fed-batch strategy, and the highest 2,3-BD concentration, productivity, and yield were 127.9 g/l, 1.78 g/(l•h), and 0.48 g/g (2,3-BD/glucose), respectively, compared to 98.5 g/l, 1.37 g/(l•h), and 0.43 g/g obtained in glucose-feedback fed-batch strategy. This feeding strategy was simple and easy to operate and could be feasible for industrial 2,3-BD production in the future.

Abstract
A metabolically engineered Escherichia coli has been constructed for the production of meso-2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) under low oxygen condition. Genes responsible for 2,3-BD formation from pyruvate were assembled together to generate a high-copy plasmid pEnBD, in which each gene was transcribed with a constitutive promoter. To eliminate by-product formation under low oxygen condition, genes including ldhA, pta, adhE, and poxB which functioned for the mixed acid fermentation pathways were deleted in E. coli JM109. Compared with the wild type, the quadruple gene deletion mutant produced smaller amounts of acetate, succinate, and ethanol from glucose when cultivated in LB medium in shake flasks under low-aeration. When 2,3-BD producing pathway was introduced via pEnBD into the mutant, higher glucose consumption and faster 2,3-BD production rate compared with that of the wild-type control were observed under aerobic condition in shake flasks. In a 6-L fermentor supplied with only 3% dissolved oxygen (DO), the mutant harboring pEnBD converted glucose to 2,3-BD much faster than the control did. When DO supply was further lowered to 1% DO, the recombinant mutant grew much slower but produced 2,3-BD as a major fermentation metabolic product. In addition, the 2,3-BD yield showed an increase from 0.20 g BD/g glucose for the control to 0.43 g BD/g glucose for the mixed acid pathway deleted mutant grown in fermentors under 1% DO. These results reveals the potential of production of enantiomerically pure 2,3-BD isomer by recombinant E. coli under low oxygen condition.

Abstract
Corncob molasses, a waste by-product in xylitol production, contains high concentrations of mixed sugars. In the present study, corncob molasses was used to produce 2,3-butanediol (BD) using Klebsiella pneumoniae SDM. This was the first report on the use of corncob molasses to produce bulk chemicals. Our results indicated that K. pneumoniae SDM can utilize various sugars contained in the corncob molasses in a preferential manner: glucose > arabinose > xylose. It was shown that high sugars concentration had an inhibitory effect on the cells growth and BD production. The maximum concentration of BD was 78.9 g/l after 61 h of fed-batch fermentation, giving a BD productivity of 1.3 g/l h and a yield of 81.4%. The present study suggests that the low-cost corncob molasses could be used as an alternative substrate for the production of BD by K. pneumoniae SDM, as well as a potential carbon source for production of other high-value chemicals.

Enhanced production of 2,3-butanediol from glycerol by forced pH fluctuations. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2010; 87:943-9.

Abstract
The glycerol fermentation by Klebsiella pneumoniae occurs by receiving more than five liquid products-organic acids, diols, and ethanol. Aiming to direct the glycerol conversion towards predominant production of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD), the main influencing parameters (the aeration and the pH) were investigated during fed-batch processes. The regime of intensive aeration (2.2 vvm air supply) was evaluated as most favorable for 2,3-BD synthesis and ensured the decrease of all other metabolites. Thus, without pH control, 52.5 g/l 2,3-BD were produced, as the carbon conversion of glycerol into 2,3-BD reached 60.6%. Additional enhancement in 2,3-BD production (by significant increase of glycerol utilization) was achieved by the development of a new method of "forced pH fluctuations". It was realized by consecutive raisings of pH using definite DeltapH value, at exact time intervals, allowing multiple variations. Thus, the optimal conditions for maximal glycerol consumption were defined, and 70 g/l 2,3-BD were produced, which is the highest amount obtained from glycerol as a sole carbon source until now. The forced pH fluctuations emphasized pH as a governing factor in microbial conversion processes.
