Abstract
Increasing global energy consumption and depleting fossil-fuel supplies prompted the search for green-alternatives. This study focuses on conversion of waste agar using different acids/alkalis (0.5% and 1%) as catalysts under varied temperature and time towards galactose (Gal), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA) production in a sequential reaction. The optimized process for agar depolymerisation was achieved using 1 % acid (H2SO4/HCl) catalysed conditions with a maximum of 11 g/L Gal yield (121 °C; 15 min). Increase in temperature (150 °C) and time (180 min) with 1% HCl/H2SO4 catalyst resulted in improved LA production along with Gal and HMF. The hydrolysis process was optimised for the selective production of LA (10 g/L) at 175 °C; 180 min. Further, galactose-rich hydrolysates were assessed for bioethanol fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and resulted 3 g/L ethanol. Thus, the study comprehensively demonstrates waste agar utilization to yield biochemicals/fuels in a circular bio-based economy approach.

Abstract
With the determination of the Leloir pathway in a solventogenic wild-type strain WK through the transcriptional analysis, two pivotal genes (galK and galT) were systematically co-expressed to demonstrate a significantly enhanced galactose utilization for butanol production with the elimination of carbon catabolite repression (CCR). The gene-modified strain WK-Gal-4 could effectively co-utilize galactose and glucose by directly using an ultrasonication-assisted butyric acid-pretreated Gelidium amansii hydrolysate (BAU) as the substrate, exhibiting the optimal sugar consumption and butanol production from BAU of 20.31 g/L and 7.8 g/L with an increment by 62.35 % and 61.49 % over that by strain WK, respectively. This work for the first time develops a feasible approach to utilizing red algal biomass for butanol fermentation through exploring the metabolic regulation of carbohydrate catabolism, also offering a novel route to develop the future biorefinery using the cost-effective and sustainable marine feedstocks.

Wang J, Chu YX, Tian G, He R. Estimation of sulfur fate and contribution to VSC emissions from lakes during algae decay. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 856:159193. [PMID: 36202355 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Algae decay is an important process influencing environmental variables and emissions of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) in eutrophic lakes. However, effects of algae decay on VSC emissions from eutrophic lakes as well as fate of algae-derived sulfur remain poorly understood. In this study, simulated algae-sediment systems were used to explore the flow and distribution of sulfur during algae decay. VSCs including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (CH3SH), carbon disulfide (CS2) and dimethyl sulfide ((CH3)2S) were detected during algae decay, which increased with algae biomass and eutrophic levels in lakes. During algae decay, the highest H2S, CH3SH and (CH3)2S emission rates of 10.45, 21.82 and 43.26 μg d-1 occurred in the first 1-2 days, respectively, while the highest CS2 emission rates were observed between days 8 and 11. The maximum emissions of H2S and CS2 from algae decay were estimated at 0.51 and 0.35 mg m-2 d-1 in Lake Taihu, accounting for 1.57% and 0.69% of the total H2S and CS2 emissions of in situ, respectively. Algae decay could significantly increase the contents of total sulfur and total carbon in sediments by 2.90%-21.11% and 4.23%-45.05%, respectively. The VSC emissions during algae decay could be predicted using the multiple regression models with the contents of total carbon, total nitrogen and sulfur-containing compounds in sediments. Partial least squares path modelling demonstrated that algae decay had a low direct effect on VSC emissions with a strength of 0.06, while it had a significant influence on environmental variables with a strength of 0.63, which could affect VSC emissions with a strength of 0.85, indicating VSC emissions from eutrophic lakes were affected by the environmental variables rather than the direct influence of algae decay. These findings illustrated the mechanisms of VSC emissions during algae decay and provided insights into VSC control and mitigation for eutrophic lakes.

Enhanced removal of sulfur-containing organic pollutants from actual wastewater by biofilm reactor: Insights of sulfur transformation and bacterial metabolic traits. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 313:120187. [PMID: 36116571 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Sulfur-containing organic pollutants in wastewater could threaten human health due to their high malodor and toxicity, and their conversion processes are more complex than inorganic sulfur compounds. Membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR), as a novel and environmentally-friendly biofilm-based technology, is able to remove inorganic sulfur in synthetic wastewater. However, it is unknown how sulfur-containing organic pollutants in actual wastewater are transformed in MABR system. This work demonstrated the feasibility of MABR to eliminate sulfur-containing organic pollutants in actual wastewater, and the removal efficiency could be reached at approximately 100%. Meanwhile, over 70% of sulfur-containing organic contaminants were transformed to SO42- during the long-term operation. Further analysis indicated that the functional bacteria that participated in sulfur transformation and carbohydrates degradation (e.g., Chujaibacter, Microscillaceaesp., and Thiobacillus) were evidently enriched when treating actual wastewater. Moreover, the critical metabolic pathways (e.g., sulfur metabolism, glycolysis metabolism, and pyruvate metabolism), and the corresponding genetic expressions (e.g., nrrA, tauA, tauC, sorA, and SUOX) were evidently up-regulated during long-term operation, which was beneficial for the transformation of sulfur-containing organic pollutants in actual wastewater by MABR. This work would expand the application of MABR for treating the actual sulfur-containing organic wastewater and provide an in-depth understanding of the organic sulfur transformation in MABR.

Insights into the spatiotemporal differences in tailings seepage pollution by assessing the diversity and metabolic functions of the soil microbial community. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 306:119408. [PMID: 35523382 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The formation of tailings ponds depends on the long-term accumulation of tailing and high terrain. Its seepage pollution characteristics may have gradient variations on spatiotemporal scales. Used three nearby metal tailings ponds with different service times, we aimed to reveal seepage pollution trends on spatiotemporal scales and the response of soil microbial community. The results showed that the degree of seepage pollution was negatively correlated with the distance from the tailings pond on the spatial scale, while the seepage pollution showed higher levels in tailings ponds with longer service times on the temporal scale (RI = 248.04-2109.85). The pollution effect of seepage persisted after the tailings pond was discontinued (RI = 226.72). Soil microbial diversity increased with spatial scale expansion. The proportion of Actinomyces gradually increased and Proteobacteria decreased. Cr (r = 0.21) and Fe (r = 0.22) contributed more to the microbial community changes. Functional predictions showed that pathways related to signal transduction and energy metabolism were more abundant in the tailings pond. In contaminated areas, the proportion of nitrate respiration and cellulolysis functional communities had decreased, and some potentially pathogenic human taxa had accumulated. These results emphasized that there was pollution accumulation on temporal scale and pollution dispersion on spatial scale around tailings ponds, and the response of the microbial community further illustrated these trends.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is projected as a prospective renewable alternative to petroleum for the production of fuel and chemicals. Pretreatment is necessary to disrupt the lignocellulosic structure for extraction of cellulose. Biomass after pretreatment is segregated into cellulose rich solid fraction and black liquor (lignin and hemicelluloses) as a liquid stream. The plant polysaccharide-based industry primarily utilizes the cellulosic fraction as raw material, and carbon rich black liquor discarded as waste or burnt for energy recovery. This review highlights the recent advancements in the biological and chemical valorization of black liquor into fuels and chemicals. The recent research attempted for bioconversion of black liquor into Bioplastic, Biohydrogen, Biogas, and chemicals has been discussed. In addition, the efforts to replace the conventional energy recovery method with the advanced chemical process along with their modifications have been reviewed that will decide the sustainability of the lignocellulosic biomass-based industry.

Abstract
Algae are considered promising biomass resources for biofuel production. However, some arguments doubt the economical and energetical feasibility of algal cultivation, harvesting, and conversion processes. Beyond biofuel, value-added bioproducts can be generated via algae conversion, which would enhance the economic feasibility of algal biorefineries. This review primarily focuses on valuable chemical and bioproduct production from algae. The methods for effective recovery of valuable algae components, and their applications are summarized. The potential routes for the conversion of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins to valuable chemicals and bioproducts are assessed from recent studies. In addition, this review proposes the following challenges for future algal biorefineries: (1) utilization of naturally grown algae instead of cultivated algae; (2) fractionation of algae to individual components towards high-selectivity products; (3) avoidance of humin formation from algal carbohydrate conversion; (4) development of strategies for algal protein utilisation; and (5) development of efficient processes for commercialization and industrialization.

Abstract
The present study reports Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) induced enhanced hydrogen production via co-fermentation of glucose and residual algal biomass (cyanobacteria Lyngbya limnetica). A significant enhancement of dark fermentative H2 production has been noticed under the influence of co-fermentation of glucose and residual algal biomass using Fe3O4 NPs as catalyst. Further, using the optimized ratio of glucose to residual algal biomass (10:4), ∼ 37.14 % higher cumulative H2 has been recorded in presence of 7.5 mg/L Fe3O4 NPs as compared to control at 37 °C. In addition, under the optimum conditions [glucose to residual algal biomass ratio (10:4)] presence of 7.5 mg/L Fe3O4 NPs produces ∼ 937 mL/L cumulative H2 in 168 h at pH 7.5 and at temperature 40 °C. Clostridum butyrium, employed for the dark fermentation yielded ∼ 7.7 g/L dry biomass in 168 h whereas acetate (9.0 g/L) and butyrate (6.2 g/L) have been recorded as the dominating metabolites.

Abstract
D-Galactose is an abundant carbohydrate monomer in nature and widely exists in macroalgae, plants, and dairy wastes. D-Galactose is useful as a raw material for biomass fuel production or low-calorie sweetener production, attracting increased attention. This article summarizes the studies on biotechnological processes for galactose utilization. Two main research directions of microbial fermentation and enzyme-catalyzed conversion from galactose-rich biomass are extensively reviewed. The review provides the recent discoveries for biofuel production from macroalgae, including the innovative methods in the pretreatment process and technological development in the fermentation process. As modern people pay more attention to health, enzyme technologies for low-calorie sweetener production are more urgently needed. D-Tagatose is a promising low-calorie alternative to sugar. We discuss the recent studies on characterization and genetic modification of L-arabinose isomerase to improve the bioconversion of D-galactose to D-tagatose. In addition, the trends and critical challenges in both research directions are outlined at the end. KEY POINTS: • The value and significance of galactose utilization are highlighted. • Biofuel production from galactose-rich biomass is accomplished by fermentation. • L-arabinose isomerase is a tool for bioconversion of D-galactose to D-tagatose.

Abstract
In this study, hydrothermal liquefaction of household waste was performed to produce valuable liquid hydrocarbons with aqueous phase as by-product. Photocatalytic reforming of aqueous phase was carried out for hydrogen production. Liquefaction of 15 g waste at temperature of 320 °C and solvent to biomass ratio of 13.33 mL/g produced bio-oil of 32.4 wt% and hydrogen 21 wt% in gas product. Hydrogen production from aqueous phase was studied in presence of various concentrations of activated carbon doped Fe/TiO2 catalyst (0.2-1 wt%). Hydrogen yield was 32 wt% when 0.6 wt% of catalyst was used to reform aqueous phase. To ease of operation in economical manner the reusability study of the catalyst was evaluated and it was found to be active for three consecutive cycles. As outcome of this study, household waste can serve for a whooping amount of hydrogen (53 wt%) production via liquefaction and photocatalytic reforming process.

Abstract
The impoundment of dammed rivers accelerates phytoplankton succession from river-dominated to lake-dominated species. Little is known about the role of phytoplankton succession in methane (CH4) production. In this study, we performed a 61-day microcosm investigation to simulate the collapse processes of Cyclotella meneghiniana (river-dominated algae) and Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Microcystis aeruginosa (lake-dominated algae). The results suggested that different methanogenic conditions were induced by the collapse of river-and lake-dominated algae. The rapid settlement of C. meneghiniana induced aerobic conditions in the water that inhibited anaerobic CH4 production and intensified CH4 oxidation as a result of an increase in pmoA. However, the decomposition of C. pyrenoidosa and M. aeruginosa depleted dissolved oxygen and provided abundant labile organic matter, which jointly elevated mcrA and the mcrA/pmoA ratio. Under this condition, anaerobic CH4 production was the dominant pathway for the mineralization of algae-derived carbon. Finally, the CH4 produced per unit of particulate total carbon (identified as the carbon content of the algal biomass) by C. pyrenoidosa and M. aeruginosa was 16.29-fold and 8.56-fold higher, respectively, than that produced by C. meneghiniana. These observations provided evidence that lake-dominated algae played a more vital role in CH4 production than river-dominated algae when algal succession occurred. This discovery might be a new and vital, yet largely underestimated CH4 emission pathway in river-reservoir systems, that should be considered when evaluating the effect of hydraulic projects on greenhouse gas emissions.

[PMID: 32995316 PMCID: PMC7508686 DOI: 10.1016/j.btre.2020.e00528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2020] [Revised: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Depleting fuel resources is a global concern worldwide due to the unstable and cost of fuel resources. Increased transportation has gradually depleted the fossil-based fuel resources leading to find a cost-effective, readily available, and renewable source. Considering these issues, various private and government organizations have focussed on producing bio-based fuels from natural sources. In this scenario, algae are a potential emerging source of feedstock or biomass for biobutanol production, which can effectively replace fossil fuels and their environmental drawbacks. The present study focussed on evaluating the potential of freshwater microalga Chlorococcum humicola isolated from temple pond as feedstock for biobutanol production using Clostridium acetobutylicum. The results indicated that C. humicola produced 846.33 μgmg-1of starch under full strength Chu10 medium. While under sulphur and phosphorus limitation, the accumulation of starch was 947.33 μg mg-1 and 766.67 μgmg-1, respectively. Also, C. humicola was exposed to different concentrations of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). At 10μgml-1 of 2,4-D, the highest starch concentration of 989μgmg-1was achieved in C. humicola. Finally, starch in C. humicola were hydrolysed and ABE fermentation was performed using C. acetobutylicum under anaerobic condition in a 5 L automated fermenter. After 72 h of fermentation, the fermented broth is analyed in Gas Chromatography showing the fermented product containing Acetone: Butanol: Ethanol. The present study is the first report on the production of biobutanol from C. humicola isolated from Temple pond. This study emphasizes the importance of local isolates of microalgae as a third-generation substrate to produce butanol to replace fossil-based fuels.

Abstract
In this study, a laboratory-scale acidogenic dynamic membrane bioreactor (DMBR) was operated with or without alginate immobilization under various hydraulic retention times. The interactions between biofilm formation, metabolic flux and predicted functional genes were investigated in the DMBR. Regardless of the alginate immobilization, hydrogen yield was increased after biofilm was formed on a supporting material. Metabolic flux shifts from homoacetogenic to hydrogenic pathways along with biofilm formation was confirmed by flux balance analysis for metabolites. KEGG ortholog count prediction of functional genes from microbial consortia using bioinformatics package (PICRUSt). Predicted enzymes showed similar levels of functional gene expression regardless of the immobilization status. PICRUSt result showed strong evidence of the functional relationship among hydrogen production, biofilm formation, and metabolic pathway. Taken together, this study provides to estimate characteristics of biofilm formation changes and to better understand the microbial metabolism of DMBR.

Abstract
Clostridium tyrobutyricum cannot utilize galactose, which is abundant in lignocellulose and red algae, as a carbon source for butyric acid production. Hence, when using galactose-rich coffee ground hydrolysate as the substrate, the fermentation performance of C. tyrobutyricum is poor. In this work, a recombinant strain, C. tyrobutyricum ATCC 25755/ketp, overexpressing galactose catabolism genes (galK, galE, galT, and galP) from Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was constructed for the co-utilization of glucose and galactose. Batch fermentation in the bioreactor showed that ATCC 25755/ketp could efficiently utilize galactose without glucose-induced carbon catabolite repression and consume nearly 100% of the galactose present in the spent coffee ground hydrolysate. Correspondingly, the butyric acid concentration and productivity of ATCC 25755/ketp reached 34.3 g/L and 0.36 g/L·h, respectively, an increase of 78.6% and 56.5% compared with the wild-type strain, indicating its potential for butyric acid production from hydrolysates of inexpensive and galactose-rich biomass.

Abstract
The utilization of microalgae as bioenergy source was limited by the excessive cost and energy consumption during the process of lipid extraction and separation. CO2-induced switchable ionic liquids (S-ILs) with reversible hydrophobic-hydrophilic conversion were synthesized and applied for lipid extraction and separation. The reversible transition mechanism of switchable IL is due to the formation of carbamate. The novel approach based on S-ILs was developed for lipid extraction from wet microalgae, which coupled microalgae cell disruption, lipid extraction, separation, and solvent recovery process without additional solvents. The highest lipid extraction efficiencies from wet microalgae were obtained by C6DIPA-Im, and the lipids were recovered from the extraction phase by simply bubbling CO2. Furthermore, C6DIPA-Im maintained more than 83.6 ± 3.6% of its initial lipid extraction efficiency after recycling five times. The S-IL based extraction and separation method provides a new strategy for sustainable bioenergy production.

Abstract
This study involves the application of new phase separated biological pretreatment (PSBP) strategy on microalgal biomass using the nickel nanoparticle induced cellulase secreting bacterial disintegration. Particularly, interest was focussed on cell wall weakening (CWW) of microalgae biomass besides the cell disintegration (CD) and release of organics. During CWW, protein, carbohydrate, cellulose, hemicellulose and DNA were used as evaluation indexes. Similarly, during CD, soluble chemical oxygen demand was used as evaluation index to assess the disintegration effect. A higher CWW was achieved at nickel nanoparticle (Np) dosage of 0.004 g/g SS. During CD, a clear demarcation in biomass solubilisation was achieved by PSBP (36%) than the sole biological pretreatment -BP (24%). The biomethanogenesis test results showed that enhanced methane production of 411 mL/g COD was achieved by PSBP than BP. Energy analysis showed that a higher net energy production of 6.467 GJ/d was achieved by PSBP.

Abstract
Biohydrogen from microalgae has attracted extensive attention owing to its promising features of abundance, renewable and self sustainability. Unlike other well-established biofuels like biodiesel and bioethanol, biohydrogen from microalgae is still in the preliminary stage of development. Criticisms in microalgal biohydrogen centered on its practicality and sustainability. Various laboratory- and pilot-scale microalgal systems have been developed, and some research initiatives have exhibited potential for commercial application. This work provides a review of the state of the art of biohydrogen from microalgae. Discussions include metabolic pathways of light-driven transformation and dark fermentation, reactor schemes and system designs encompassing reactor configurations and light manipulation. Challenges, knowledge gaps and the future directions in metabolic limitations, economic and energy assessments, and molecular engineering are also delineated. Current scientific and engineering challenges of microalgal biohydrogen need to be addressed for technology leapfrog or breakthrough.

Abstract
In this work, glucose addition (0.7 g l-1) almost doubled hydrogen yield of Chlorella pyrenoidosa (121.1 ml l-1 vs 65.5 ml l-1), with a positive correlation between hydrogen production and glucose consumption (-0.977, P < 0.01). When the electrons transport from water photolysis to algal hydrogenase was inhibited, the hydrogen productivity declined by 21.1%; whereas it dramatically decreased by 70.9% when the algal nicotinamide adeninedinucleotide dehydrogenase (NADH) was inhibited. Therefore, in the presence of glucose, the electrons for algae based hydrogen production would be mainly from glucose glycolysis rather than water photolysis. Further deuterated-glucose trial indicated that the glucose might serve as an electron donor for algal hydrogenases. Finally, a tentative electron transport route from glucose to algal hydrogenase was proposed, hoping to provide more scientific direction for further algae-based hydrogen production improvement.

Abstract
Interest in the resource utilization of algae has gradually increased due to the frequent occurrence of harmful algal blooms. Here, biochar derived from algae was applied to algae anaerobic fermentation for short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production. In the presence of algae-derived biochar, the concentration of SCFAs within 4 d (4334 mg COD/L) was approximately doubled compared to the control (2016 mg COD/L), and the fermentation time for maximal SCFAs yield was shortened. Biochar improved the disruption of algae to release more intracellular macromolecular organics. Altering algae hydrolysis, the activity of hydrolase and the contents of functional gene were advantageous to SCFAs accumulation by providing more micromolecular organics in the presence of biochar. Additionally, the relative abundance and survival of acid-forming bacteria were enhanced significantly. Furthermore, biochar accelerated the electron transport and energy synthesis in the biological system, driving the biological reactions that allow microorganisms to function and life to flourish.

Abstract
Rapid development of the industrial and domestic sectors has led to the rise of several energy and environmental issues. In accordance with sustainable development and waste minimization issues, biohydrogen production along with biomethane production via two-stage fermentation process using microorganisms from renewable sources has received considerable attention. In the present study, biohythane production with simultaneous wastewater treatment was studied in a two-stage (Biohydrogen and Biomethane) fermentation process under anaerobic conditions. Optimization of high organic content (COD) distillery spent wash effluent (DSPW) with dilution using sewage wastewater was carried out. Addition of leachate as a nutrient source was also studied for effective biohythane production. The experimental results showed that the maximum biohythane production at optimized concentration (substrate concentration of 60 g/L with 30% of leachate as a nutrient source) was 67 mmol/L bio-H2 and with bio-CH4 production of 42 mmol/L.
