Abstract
BACKGROUND Environmental stress resistance is still a bottleneck for economical process for l-lactic acid fermentation. Chronological lifespan (CLS) extension has represented a promising strategy for improving stress resistance of microbial cell factories. MAIN METHODS AND MAJOR RESULTS In this study, addition of anti-aging drug cysteine, a kind of extending CLS of microbial cell factories, was systematically evaluated on cell viability and l-lactic acid production in Bacillus coagulans CICC 23843. The results revealed that 16 mm l-cysteine supplement significantly improved l-lactic acid titer in B. coagulans. The enhanced total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and key enzymes activities involving in glycolytic pathway as well as differentially expressed genes involved in cysteine synthesize and cysteine precursor synthesize pathways, and fatty acid degradation pathway may help to further understand the relative mechanism of l-cysteine effect on improving l-lactic acid accumulation. Finally, based on 16 mm l-cysteine supplement, a final l-lactic acid titer of 130.5 g L-1 with l-lactic acid productivity of 4.07 g L-1 h-1 and the conversion rate of 0.94 g g-1 total sugar was achieved in a 5 L bioreactor. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This study provided a valuable option for engineering lactic acid bacteria lifespan for enhancement of lactic acid yield.

Abstract
Glycerol organosolv pretreatment (GOP) is considered an efficient method to deconstruct lignocellulose for producing fermentable sugars. Herein, the liquid fraction containing glycerol after GOP was utilized for recycled pretreatment of corn stover (CS) for four cycles. Enzymatic yield of glucose after recycled pretreatment was enhanced by 2.4-3.5 folds compared with untreated CS. Meanwhile, residual glycerol was used as carbon source for cultivation of Pichia pastoris to obtain high cell-density, and a final titer of 1.3 g/L human lysozyme was produced by P. pastoris under low temperature methanol induction strategy. Additionally, the pretreated CS was mixed with cassava as fermentable substrates for butanol production by wild-type Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. Final butanol production of 13.9 g/L was obtained from mixed substrates (25%:75% of CS/cassava) at 10% solids loading by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. Overall, integration of residual glycerol utilization and butanol production by microbial fermentation provided an efficient strategy for biorefinery.

Abstract
Glycerol (Gly) was selected as hydrogen-bond-donor for preparing ChCl-based DES (ChCl:Gly), and the mixture of ChCl:Gly (20 wt%) and NaOH (4 wt%) was utilized for combination pretreatment of bulrush at 100 °C for 60 min (severity factor LogRo = 1.78). The effects of DES pretreatment on the chemical composition, microstructure, crystal structure, and cellulase hydrolysis were explored. NaOH-ChCl:Gly could remove lignin (80.1%) and xylan (66.8%), and the enzymatic digestibility of cellulose reached 87.9%. The accessibility of bulrush was apparently increased to 645.2 mg/g after NaOH-ChCl:Gly pretreatment. The hydrophobicity and lignin surface area were reduced to 1.56 L/g and 417 m2/g, respectively. The crystallinity of cellulose was increased from 20.8% to 55.6%, and great changes in surface morphology were observed, which explained the improvement of enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. Overall, DES combined with alkali treatment could effectively promote the removal of lignin and xylan in bulrush, thus the relative saccharification activity was greatly affected.

Abstract
Green solvents, especially deep eutectic solvents (DESs), are widely applied to pretreat biomass for enhancing its enzymatic hydrolysis. In this work, lactic acid was selected as the hydrogen-bond-donor to prepare Betaine-base DES (Betaine:LA), The DES was utilized to pretreat sugarcane bagasse (SCB) at 160 ℃ for 80 min (severity factor LogR0 = 3.67). The influences of Betaine:LA treatment on the chemical composition, crystal and microstructure structure of cellulose, and cellulase digestion were investigated. The results showed that the lignin (47.1%) and xylan (44.6%) were removed, the cellulase digestibility of Betaine:LA-treated SCB was 4.2 times that of the raw material. This improved efficiency was attributed to the enhanced accessibility of cellulose, the weakened surface area of lignin, the declined hydrophobicity, and the decreased crystallinity of cellulose. Several compelling linear correlations were fitted between enzymatic hydrolysis and these alterations of physicochemical features, comprehensively understanding enzymatic saccharification of Betaine:LA-pretreated SCB.

Abstract
Current ethanol production technology has a dire need for efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars. The conversion requires pretreatment of the biomass, one of the most expensive steps, and thus it is quite necessary to identify the most cost-effective and high-efficiency conversion method. In this study, rice straw (RS) biomass was pretreated using 4% NaOH alkali, soaked for 4 h, and autoclaved for 30 min. The structural and morphological changes were examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis in both native and alkali-treated RS. The FTIR analysis revealed that native RS contains a considerable amount of lignin that was removed after the pretreatment process. The XRD pattern of the RS revealed an increasing crystallite size of the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass. The study of SEM clearly showed the distorted structure and surface porosity after the pretreatment process. Enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency was checked by comparing the commercial enzymes and microbial hydrolysis extracted from a fungal isolate. The best-reducing sugar yield obtained was 0.62 g/L, achieved at optimized conditions from the commercial enzymes. Fermentation efficiency was checked using the yeast isolate Saccharomyces cerevisiae in both the native and pretreated substrate, and the highest ethanol concentration (21.45%) was achieved using 20% w/v biomass loading, enzyme loading (2:1:1), and fermentation for a week at 30°C and pH 4.5. This concentration was higher than that of the untreated RS (3.67%). The ethanol thus produced was further checked for analysis by the 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods.

Abstract
This study reported that surfactants could facilitate the organosolv pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) to produce fermentable sugars and highly active lignin. Under the optimized conditions, the surfactant-assisted glycerol organosolv (saGO) pretreatment achieved 80.7% delignification with a retention of 93.4% cellulose and 83.0% hemicellulose. The saGO pretreated substrate exhibited an excellent enzymatic hydrolyzability, achieving 93% of glucose yield from the enzymatic hydrolysis at 48 h. Structural analysis showed that the saGO lignin contained rich β-O-4 bondings with less repolymerization and lower phenolic hydroxyl groups, thus forming highly reactive lignin fragments. The analysis evidenced that the surfactant graft the lignin by structural modification, which was responsible for the excellent substrate hydrolyzability. The co-production of fermentable sugars and organosolv lignin almost recovered a gross energy (87.2%) from LCB. Overall, the saGO pretreatment holds a lot of promise for launching a novel pathway towards lignocellulosic fractionation and lignin valorization.

Abstract
Hydrothermal pretreatment is an effective way to change the lignocellulose structure and improve its saccharification. An efficient hydrothermal pretreatment of sunflower straw was conducted when the severity factor (LogR0) was 4.1. 60.4% of xylan and 36.5% of lignin were removed at 180 ℃ for 120 minutes with a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:15. A series of characterizations (such as X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, chemical component analysis, cellulase accessibility) proved that hydrothermal pretreatment destroyed sunflower straw surface structure, enlarged its pores, and enhanced the accessibility to cellulase (371.2 mg/g). After the enzymatic saccharification of treated sunflower straw for 72 h, 68.0% yield of reducing sugar and 61.8% yield of glucose were achieved, and 4.0 g/L xylo-oligosaccharide was obtained in the filtrate. Overall, this easy-to-operate and green hydrothermal pretreatment could effectively destroy the surface barrier of lignocellulose, help remove lignin and xylan, and increase the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvent (DES) has caught widely attention of researchers in biomass pretreatment. As a highly efficient surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was expected to be used for synthesizing new DESs with additional functions in pretreatment. In this work, an efficient pretreatment method using a mixture of CTAB and lactic acid (LA) as a novel functional DES was established to improve enzymatic digestion efficiency of rice husk (RH). The results showed that DES CTAB:LA effectively removed lignin (51.5%) and xylan (79.9%) and the enzymatic hydrolysis activity of CTAB:LA-treated RH was 5 times that of RH. Then, a series of characterization demonstrated that a substantial accessibility increased, a hydrophobicity and lignin surface area decreased, and great surface morphology alternation were observed on the treated RH, which explained the increase in enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. Overall, the discovery of more functional DESs might be motivated and biorefinery pretreatment processes might be greatly promoted.

Abstract
A novel method based on pretreatment severity and solvent effects on delignification, was introduced to pretreat and fractionate lignocellulose in a 2-phenoxyethanol (EPH) biphasic solvent system. The combined severity factor (CSF) was used to regulate pretreatment severity, and the relative energy difference (RED) of solvent system to lignin was used to evaluate solvent effects. The combined action of pretreatment severity and solvent effects on delignification was first investigated by the response surface regression analysis on the pretreatment of Amorpha. Accordingly, pretreatment and fractionation of Amorpha, poplar and corn straw were then conducted under the optimized conditions. Results showed that >99 % lignin was removed after pretreatment with CSF 3.7845 in a solvent system with RED 0.9371, and 42.94 %, 39.41 % and 70.90 % lignin from Amorpha, poplar and corn straw were respectively regenerated from organosolv liquor after fractionation. Finally, the regenerated products were characterized by FTIR, TG and GPC analysis.
