Abstract
The efficient and eco-friendly removal of lignin is a critical challenge for bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. Herein, we report the integration of laccase with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for the pretreatment of corn stover to enhance the production of reducing sugars. Three betaine-based DESs were prepared and tested for their effects on the activity and stability of a bacterial laccase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LC02. The aqueous solution of DESs showed no adverse influence on laccase activity, and the laccase thermostability was improved in the presence of DESs. More than 95% of the laccase activity was retained in the DESs solution during the first hour of incubation at 70 °C. A red shift in the fluorescence spectra was observed for the laccase in the presence of DESs, indicating conformational changes. The laccase was able to degrade a dimeric lignin model compound by cleaving its β-O-4 bond. The transformation products were identified using LC-MS. The maximal lignin removal from corn stover was achieved by pretreatment using laccase in combination with the betaine-glycerol DES, which also resulted in a yield of fermentable sugar that was 130% higher than the control. This combination strategy provides guidance on the application of laccase and DESs in the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
This study examined the lignin degradation characteristics of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MN-13. Specifically, whole-genome sequencing and comparative proteomic analysis were performed to investigate the responses of the MN-13 strain to lignin. A maximum lignin removal of 38.0 % was achieved after 36 h of inoculation in mineral salt medium with 0.2 g/L alkaline lignin, under the following conditions: the carbon to nitrogen ratio C/N = 1/1; inoculum size 6 %; addition of glucose as an exogenous carbon source. When the MN-13 strain was inoculated into mineral salt medium with and without lignin, respectively, 831 differentially expressed proteins were identified, 404 of which were up-regulated and 427 were down-regulated. Enrichment analysis revealed that up-regulated proteins were associated with microbial metabolism in diverse environment, biosynthesis of amino acids, and pathways related to energy production, including carbon metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, the TCA cycle etc. Genomic analysis revealed that the MN-13 strain possesses many ligninolytic enzymes and aromatics degradation pathway, including benzoate degradation and aminobenzoate degradation etc. Taken together, the proteomic and genomic analyses indicated that the meta-cleavage pathway of catechol, including benzoate degradation, etc., is the main lignin degradation pathway. These findings provide new insight into lignin degradation mediated by B. amyloliquefaciens.

Abstract
Many Gram-positive spore-forming rhizobacteria of the genus Bacillus show potential as biocontrol biopesticides that promise improved sustainability and ecological safety in agriculture. Here, we present a draft-quality genome sequence for Bacillus velezensis EU07, which shows growth-promotion in tomato plants and biocontrol against Fusarium head blight. We found that the genome of EU07 is almost identical to that of the commercially used strain QST713, but identified 46 single-nucleotide differences that distinguish these strains from each other. The availability of this genome sequence will facilitate future efforts to unravel the genetic and molecular basis for EU07's beneficial properties.

Abstract
Introduction Ligninolytic bacteria can secrete extracellular enzymes to depolymerize lignin into small-molecular aromatics that are subsequently metabolized and funneled into the TCA cycle. Carbohydrates, which are the preferred carbon sources of bacteria, influence the metabolism of lignin-derived aromatics through bacteria. Methods In this study, untargeted metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses were performed to investigate the effect of carbohydrates on lignin degradation mediated by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MN-13, a strain with lignin-degrading activity that was isolated in our previous work. Results The results demonstrated that the cell growth of the MN-13 strain and lignin removal were promoted when carbohydrates such as glucose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose were added to an alkaline lignin-minimal salt medium (AL-MSM) culture. Metabolomics analysis showed that lignin depolymerization took place outside the cells, and the addition of glucose regulated the uptake and metabolism of lignin-derived monomers and activated the downstream metabolism process in cells. In the transcriptomics analysis, 299 DEGs were screened after 24 h of inoculation in AL-MSM with free glucose and 2 g/L glucose, respectively, accounting for 8.3% of the total amount of annotated genes. These DEGs were primarily assigned to 30 subcategories, including flagellar assembly, the PTS system, RNA degradation, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, the TCA cycle, pyruvate metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism. These subcategories were closely associated with the cell structure, generation of cellular energy, and precursors for biosynthetic pathways, based on a - log 10 (P adjust) value in the KEGG pathway analysis. Conclusion In summary, the addition of glucose increased lignin degradation mediated by the MN-13 strain through regulating glycolysis, TCA cycle, and central carbon metabolism.

Abstract
Terrestrial organic carbon such as lignin is an important component of the global marine carbon. However, the structural complexity and recalcitrant nature of lignin are deemed challenging for biodegradation. It has been speculated that bacteria play important roles in lignin degradation in the marine system. However, the extent of the involvement of marine microorganisms in lignin degradation and their contribution to the oceanic carbon cycle remains elusive. In this study, two bacterial consortia capable of degrading alkali lignin (a model compound of lignin), designated LIG-B and LIG-S, were enriched from the nearshore sediments of the East and South China Seas. Consortia LIG-B and LIG-S mainly comprised of the Proteobacteria phylum with Nitratireductor sp. (71.6%) and Halomonas sp. (91.6%), respectively. Lignin degradation was found more favorable in consortium LIG-B (max 57%) than in LIG-S (max 18%). Ligninolytic enzymes laccase (Lac), manganese peroxidase (MnP), and lignin peroxidase (LiP) capable of decomposing lignin into smaller fragments were all active in both consortia. The newly emerged low-molecular-weight aromatics, organic acids, and other lignin-derived compounds in biotreated alkali lignin also evidently showed the depolymerization of lignin by both consortia. The lignin degradation pathways reconstructed from consortium LIG-S were found to be more comprehensive compared to consortium LIG-B. It was further revealed that catabolic genes, involved in the degradation of lignin and its derivatives through multiple pathways via protocatechuate and catechol, are present not only in lignin-degrading consortia LIG-B and LIG-S but also in 783 publicly available metagenomic-assembled genomes from nine nearshore regions. IMPORTANCE Numerous terrigenous lignin-containing plant materials are constantly discharged from rivers and estuaries into the marine system. However, only low levels of terrigenous organic carbon, especially lignin, are detected in the global marine system due to the abundance of active heterotrophic microorganisms driving the carbon cycle. Simultaneously, the lack of knowledge on lignin biodegradation has hindered our understanding of the oceanic carbon cycle. Moreover, bacteria have been speculated to play important roles in the marine lignin biodegradation. Here, we enriched two bacterial consortia from nearshore sediments capable of utilizing alkali lignin for cell growth while degrading it into smaller molecules and reconstructed the lignin degradation network. In particular, this study highlights that marine microorganisms in nearshore regions mostly undergo similar pathways using protocatechuate and catechol as ring-cleavage substrates to drive lignin degradation as part of the oceanic carbon cycle, regardless of whether they are in sediments or water column.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 452:131302.

Abstract
Biological dehalogenation degradation was an important detoxification method for the ecotoxicity and teratogenic toxicity of fluorocorticosteroids (FGCs). The functional strain Acinetobacter pittii C3 can effectively biodegrade and defluorinate to 1 mg/L Triamcinolone acetonide (TA), a representative FGCs, with 86 % and 79 % removal proportion in 168 h with the biodegradation and detoxification kinetic constant of 0.031/h and 0.016/h. The dehalogenation and degradation ability of strain C3 was related to its dehalogenation genomic characteristics, which manifested in the functional gene expression of dehalogenation, degradation, and toxicity tolerance. Three detoxification mechanisms were positively correlated with defluorination pathways through hydrolysis, oxidation, and reduction, which were regulated by the expression of the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) gene (mupP, yrfG, and gph), oxygenase gene (dmpA and catA), and reductase gene (nrdAB and TgnAB). Hydrolysis defluorination was the most critical way for TA detoxification metabolism, which could rapidly generate low-toxicity metabolites and reduce toxic bioaccumulation due to hydrolytic dehalogenase-induced defluorination. The mechanism of hydrolytic defluorination was that the active pocket of hydrolytic dehalogenase was matched well with the spatial structure of TA under the adjustment of the hydrogen bond, and thus induced molecular recognition to promote the catalytic hydrolytic degradation of various amino acid residues. This work provided an effective bioremediation method and mechanism for improving defluorination and detoxification performance.

Abstract
Background Cellulolytic microorganisms are considered a key player in the degradation of feed fiber. These microorganisms can be isolated from various resources, such as animal gut, plant surfaces, soil and oceans. A new strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, TL106, was isolated from faeces of a healthy Tibetan pigs. This strain can produce cellulase and shows strong antimicrobial activity in mice. Thus, in this study, to better understand the strain of B. amyloliquefaciens TL106 on degradation of cellulose, the genome of the strain TL106 was completely sequenced and analyzed. In addition, we also explored the cellulose degradation ability of strain TL106 in vitro. Results TL106 was completely sequenced with the third generation high-throughput DNA sequencing. In vitro analysis with enzymatic hydrolysis identified the activity of cellulose degradation. TL106 consisted of one circular chromosome with 3,980,960 bp and one plasmid with 16,916 bp, the genome total length was 3.99 Mb and total of 4,130 genes were predicted. Several genes of cellulases and hemicellulase were blasted in Genbank, including β-glucosidase, endoglucanase, ß-glucanase and xylanase genes. Additionally, the activities of amylase (20.25 U/mL), cellulase (20.86 U/mL), xylanase (39.71 U/mL) and β-glucanase (36.13 U/mL) in the fermentation supernatant of strain TL106 were higher. In the study of degradation characteristics, we found that strain TL106 had a better degradation effect on crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, starch, arabinoxylan and β-glucan of wheat and highland barley . Conclusions The genome of B. amyloliquefaciens TL106 contained several genes of cellulases and hemicellulases, can produce carbohydrate-active enzymes, amylase, cellulase, xylanase and β-glucanase. The supernatant of fermented had activities of strain TL106. It could degrade the fiber fraction and non-starch polysaccharides (arabinoxylans and β-glucan) of wheat and highland barley. The present study demonstrated that the degradation activity of TL106 to crude fiber which can potentially be applied as a feed additive to potentiate the digestion of plant feed by monogastric animals.

Abstract
Lignification of cellulose limits the effective utilisation of fibre in plant cell wall. Lignocellulose-degrading bacteria secrete enzymes that decompose lignin and have the potential to improve fibre digestibility. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of whole-plant corn silage inoculated with lignocellulose-degrading bacteria on the growth performance, rumen fermentation, and rumen microbiome in sheep. Twelve 2-month-old male hybrid sheep (Dorper ♂ × small-tailed Han ♀) were randomly assigned into two dietary groups (n = 6): (1) untreated whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) and (2) WPCS inoculated with bacterial inoculant (WPCSB). Whole-plant corn silage inoculated with bacterial inoculant had higher in situ NDF digestibility than WPCS. Sheep in the WPCSB group had significantly higher average daily gain, DM intake, and feed conversion rate than those in the WPCS group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, higher volatile fatty acid concentrations were detected in WPCSB rumen samples, leading to lower ruminal pH (P < 0.05). The WPCSB group showed higher abundance of Bacteroidetes and lower abundance of Firmicutes in the rumen microbiome than the WPCS group (P < 0.05). Multiple differential genera were identified, with Prevotella being the most dominant genus and more abundant in WPCSB samples. Moreover, the enriched functional attributes, including those associated with glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and citrate cycle, were more actively expressed in the WPCSB samples than in the WPCS samples. Additionally, certain glucoside hydrolases that hydrolyse the side chains of hemicelluloses and pectins were also actively expressed in the WPCSB microbiome. These findings suggested that WPCSB increased NDF digestibility in three ways: (1) by increasing the relative abundance of the most abundant genera, (2) by recruiting more functional features involved in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and citrate cycle pathways, and (3) by increasing the relative abundance and/or expression activity of the glucoside hydrolases involved in hemicellulose and pectin metabolism. Our findings provide novel insights into the microbial mechanisms underlying improvement in the growth performance of sheep/ruminants. However, the biological mechanisms cannot be fully elucidated using only metagenomics tools; therefore, a combined multi-omics approach will be used in subsequent studies.

Abstract
Multicopper oxidases have a wide range of substrate specificity to be involved in various physiological reactions. Pseudomonas syringae, a plant pathogenic bacterium, has a multicopper oxidase, CumA. Multicopper oxidases have ability to degrade plant cell wall component, lignin. Once P. syringae enter apoplast and colonize, they start to disrupt plant immunity. Therefore, deeper understanding of multicopper oxidases from plant pathogens, help to invent measures to prevent invasion into plant cell, which bring agricultural benefits. Several biochemical studies have reported lower activity of CumA compared with other multicopper oxidase called CotA. However, the mechanisms underlying the difference in activity have not yet been revealed. In order to acquire insight into them, we conducted a biophysical characterization of PsCumA. Our results show that PsCumA has weak type I copper EPR signal, which is essential for oxidation activity. We propose that difference in the coordination of copper ions may decrease reaction frequency.

Abstract
Syringyl monomeric units are the most common intermediates encountered during hardwood lignin degradation. In the present study, efficient utilization of syringaldehyde (SAld), syringic acid (SAc) by Burkholderia sp. ISTR5 (R5) has been shown. The proteogenomic analysis of Burkholderia sp. ISTR5 was done to understand the enzymes involved in the degradation of syringaldehyde and syringic acid. Various proteins such as aldehyde dehydrogenase, laccase, and oxidoreductases were highly upregulated during growth on syringaldehyde and syringic acid. R5 completely transformed both the substrates SAld and SAc to other hydrocarbons in 48 h and 24 h, respectively. Moreover, bioconversion of syringyl lignins followed an unusual pathway and accumulated a considerable amount of industrially valuable chemical malic acid in the reaction titer. This study shows the robust chassis of R5 to cope with the aromatic aldehydic stress and simultaneous bioconversion into valuable products for an efficient biorefinery.
