Zhang W, Diao C, Wang L. Degradation of lignin in different lignocellulosic biomass by steam explosion combined with microbial consortium treatment. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AND BIOPRODUCTS 2023; 16:55. [PMID: 36997991 PMCID: PMC10064694 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-023-02306-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023]
Abstract
The difficulty of degrading lignin is the main factor limiting the high-value conversion process of lignocellulosic biomass. The biodegradation of lignin has attracted much attention because of its strong environmental friendliness, but it still faces some dilemmas such as slow degradation rate and poor adaptability. The microbial consortia with high lignin degradation efficiency and strong environmental adaptability were obtained in our previous research. To further increase the lignin degradation efficiency, this paper proposes a composite treatment technology of steam explosion combined with microbial consortium degradation to treat three kinds of biomass. We measured the lignin degradation efficiency, selectivity value (SV) and enzymatic saccharification efficiency. The structural changes of the biomass materials and microbial consortium structure were also investigated. The experimental results showed that after 1.6 MPa steam explosion treatment, the lignin degradation efficiency of the eucalyptus root reached 35.35% on the 7th days by microbial consortium. At the same time, the lignin degradation efficiency of the bagasse and corn straw treated by steam explosion followed by microbial biotreatment was 37.61-44.24%, respectively, after only 7 days of biotreatment. The microbial consortium also showed strong selectivity degradation to lignin. The composite treatment technology can significantly improve the enzymatic saccharification efficiency. Saccharomycetales, Ralstonia and Pseudomonadaceae were the dominant microorganisms in the biomass degradation systems. It was proved that the combined treatment technology of steam explosion and microbial consortium degradation could overcome the drawbacks of traditional microbial pretreatment technology, and can facilitate the subsequent high-value conversion of lignocellulose.

Abstract
Lignin, which is a component of wood, is difficult to degrade in nature. However, serious decay caused by microbial consortia can happen to wooden antiques during the preservation process. This study successfully screened four microbial consortia with lignin degradation capabilities (J-1, J-6, J-8 and J-15) from decayed wooden antiques. Their compositions were identified by genomic sequencing, while the degradation products were analyzed by GC-MS. The lignin degradation efficiency of J-6 reached 54% after 48 h with an initial lignin concentration of 0.5 g/L at pH 4 and rotation speed of 200 rpm. The fungal consortium of J-6 contained Saccharomycetales (98.92%) and Ascomycota (0.56%), which accounted for 31% of the total biomass. The main bacteria in J-6 were Shinella sp. (47.38%), Cupriavidus sp. (29.84%), and Bosea sp. (7.96%). The strongest degradation performance of J-6 corresponded to its composition, where Saccharomycetales likely adapted to the system and improved lignin degradation enzymes activities, and the abundant bacterial consortium accelerated lignin decomposition. Our work demonstrated the potential utilization of microbial consortia via the synergy of microbial consortia, which may overcome the shortcomings of traditional lignin biodegradation when using a single strain, and the potential use of J-6 for lignin degradation/removal applications.

Folia Microbiol (Praha) 2020; 65:629-638. [PMID: 31970597 DOI: 10.1007/s12223-019-00767-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2019] [Accepted: 12/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The purpose was to investigate a simultaneous biodegradation of the recalcitrant monoazo dye Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) in a mixed culture consisting of a biofilm of Pleurotus ostreatus-colonizing polyamide carrier and a suspension of the yeast Candida zeylanoides to see their biological interactions and possible synergistic action during degradation. Decolorization in the mixed culture was more effective than in the fungal monoculture, the respective decolorizations reaching 87.5% and 70% on day 11. The proliferation of yeast was reduced compared with the C. zeylanoides monoculture but enabled the yeast to participate in decolorization. The interaction of P. ostreatus with the yeast resulted in a gradual decrease of fungal manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and laccase activities. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the degradation products brought evidence that P. ostreatus split the dye molecule asymmetrically to provide 4-(ethenylsulfonyl) benzene whose concentration was much decreased in the mixed culture suggesting its increased metabolization in the presence of the yeast. In contrast, C. zeylanoides split the azo bond symmetrically producing the metabolites 4-(ethenylsulfonyl) aniline and α-hydroxybenzenepropanoic acid. Those metabolites were rapidly degraded in the mixed culture. A novel aspect is represented by the evidence of a mutual cooperative action of the fungal and yeast microorganisms in the mixed culture resulting in rapid decolorization and degradation of the dye.

Novel strategy to improve the colonizing ability of Irpex lacteus in non-sterile wheat straw for enhanced rumen and enzymatic digestibility. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2019; 104:1347-1355.

Abstract
Pretreatment with white rot fungi is a promising method to enhance the digestibility of lignocelluloses; however, sterilization of feedstocks prior to inoculation is one of the costliest steps. To improve the colonizing ability of white rot fungi under non-sterile condition, Irpex lacteus, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were inoculated in the wheat straw ensiled for 28 days and incubated for 56 days to determine the changes in microbe counts, organic acid content, chemical composition, and rumen and enzymatic digestibility. Results showed that ensiling produced abundant organic acids and suppressed most microbes in wheat straw. Significant growth of I. lacteus was observed after 3 days of incubation, and molds were only detectable at day 7 in the group. At the end of incubation, aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria decreased by 18% and 38% in the wheat straw treated with I. lacteus, but molds, aerobic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria thrived in those treated with P. ostreatus and P. chrysosporium. Even more, P. ostreatus and P. chrysosporium increased the lignin content of the ensiled wheat straw by 34% and 65%. However, I. lacteus selectively degraded lignin by 28% and improved the rumen and enzymatic digestibility by 18% and 34%. The finding indicates that ensiling prior to fermentation with I. lacteus is an effective method to control spoilage microbes and to enhance the rumen and enzymatic digestibility of wheat straw.

Abstract
Anthraquinone dyes, which contain anthraquinone chromophore groups, are the second largest class of dyes after azo dyes and are used extensively in textile industries. The majority of these dyes are resistant to degradation because of their complex and stable structures; consequently, a large number of anthraquinone dyes find their way into the environment causing serious pollution. At present, the microbiological approach to treating printing and dyeing wastewater is considered to be an economical and feasible method, and reports regarding the bacterial degradation of anthraquinone dyes are increasing. This paper reviews the classification and structures of anthraquinone dyes, summarizes the types of degradative bacteria, and explores the possible mechanisms and influencing factors of bacterial anthraquinone dye degradation. Present research progress and existing problems are further discussed. Finally, future research directions and key points are presented.
