Abstract
A novel ceramide compound, named Aspercerebroside A (AcA), was successfully isolated from the ethyl acetate layer of the marine symbiotic fungus Aspergillus sp. AcA exhibited notable anti-inflammatory activity by effectively inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells at concentrations of 30 μg/mL and 40 μg/mL, offering a promising avenue for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. To optimize the yield of glycosylceramide (AcA), a series of techniques, including single-factor experiments, orthogonal experiments, and response surface optimization, were systematically employed to fine-tune the composition of the fermentation medium. Initially, the optimal carbon source (sucrose), nitrogen source (yeast extract powder), and the most suitable medium salinity (14 ppt) were identified through single-factor experiments. Subsequently, orthogonal experiments, employing an orthogonal table for planning and analyzing multifactor experiments, were conducted. Finally, a mathematical model, established using a Box-Behnken design, comprehensively analyzed the interactions between the various factors to determine the optimal composition of the fermentation medium. According to the model's prediction, when the sucrose concentration was set at 37.47 g/L, yeast extract powder concentration at 19.66 g/L, and medium salinity at 13.31 ppt, the predicted concentration of glycosylceramide was 171.084 μg/mL. The experimental results confirmed the model's accuracy, with the actual average concentration of glycosylceramide under these conditions measured at 171.670 μg/mL, aligning closely with the predicted value.

Abstract
The global protein shortage is intensifying, and promising means to ensure daily protein supply are desperately needed. The mycoprotein produced by Fusarium venenatum is a good alternative to animal/plant-derived protein. To comprehensively improve the mycoprotein synthesis, a stepwise strategy by blocking the byproduct ethanol synthesis and the gluconeogenesis pathway and by optimizing the fermentation medium was herein employed. Ultimately, compared to the wild-type strain, the synthesis rate, carbon conversion ratio, and protein content of mycoprotein produced from the engineered strain were increased by 57% (0.212 vs 0.135 g/L·h), 62% (0.351 vs 0.217 g/g), and 57% (61.9 vs 39.4%), respectively, accompanied by significant reductions in CO2 emissions. These results provide a referential strategy that could be useful for improving mycoprotein synthesis in other fungi; more importantly, the obtained high-mycoprotein-producing strain has the potential to promote the development of the edible protein industry and compensate for the gap in protein resources.

Abstract
Introduction Proteases exhibit a wide range of applications, and among them, alkaline proteases have become a prominent area of research due to their stability in highly alkaline environments. To optimize the production yield and activity of alkaline proteases, researchers are continuously exploring different fermentation conditions and culture medium components. Methods In this paper, the fermentation conditions of the alkaline protease (EC 3.4.21.14) production by Bacillus subtilis BS-QR-052 were optimized, and the effect of different nutrition and fermentation conditions was investigated. Based on the single-variable experiments, the Plackett-Burman design was used to explore the significant factors, and then the optimized fermentation conditions, as well as the interaction between these factors, were evaluated by response surface methodology through the Box-Behnken design. Results and discussion The results showed that 1.03% corn syrup powder, 0.05% MgSO4, 8.02% inoculation volume, 1:1.22 vvm airflow rate, as well as 0.5% corn starch, 0.05% MnSO4, 180 rpm agitation speed, 36°C fermentation temperature, 8.0 initial pH and 96 h incubation time were predicted to be the optimal fermentation conditions. The alkaline protease enzyme activity was estimated to be approximately 1787.91 U/mL, whereas subsequent experimental validation confirmed it reached 1780.03 U/mL, while that of 500 L scale-up fermentation reached 1798.33 U/mL. This study optimized the fermentation conditions for alkaline protease production by B. subtilis through systematic experimental design and data analysis, and the activity of the alkaline protease increased to 300.72% of its original level. The established model for predicting alkaline protease activity was validated, achieving significantly higher levels of enzymatic activity. The findings provide valuable references for further enhancing the yield and activity of alkaline protease, thereby holding substantial practical significance and economic benefits for industrial applications.

Abstract
β-Farnesene is an advanced molecule with promising applications in agriculture, the cosmetics industry, pharmaceuticals, and bioenergy. To supplement the shortcomings of rational design in the development of high-producing β-farnesene strains, a Metabolic Pathway Design-Fermentation Test-Metabolomic Analysis-Target Mining experimental cycle was designed. In this study, by over-adding 20 different amino acids/nucleobases to induce fluctuations in the production of β-farnesene, the changes in intracellular metabolites in the β-farnesene titer-increased group were analyzed using non-targeted metabolomics. Differential metabolites that were detected in each experimental group were selected, and their metabolic pathways were located. Based on these differential metabolites, targeted strain gene editing and culture medium optimization were performed. The overexpression of the coenzyme A synthesis-related gene pantothenate kinase (PanK) and the addition of four mixed water-soluble vitamins in the culture medium increased the β-farnesene titer in the shake flask to 1054.8 mg/L, a 48.5% increase from the initial strain. In the subsequent fed-batch fermentation, the β-farnesene titer further reached 24.6 g/L. This work demonstrates the tremendous application value of metabolomics analysis for the development of industrial recombinant strains and the optimization of fermentation conditions.

Abstract
Liquid fermentation is the primary method for GA3 production usingFusarium fujikuroi. However, production capacity is limited due to unknown metabolic pathways. To address this, we constructed a genome-scale metabolic model (iCY1235) with 1753 reactions, 1979 metabolites, and 1235 genes to understand the GA3 regulation mechanisms. The model was validated by analyzing growth rates under different glucose uptake rates and identifying essential genes. We used the model to optimize fermentation conditions, including carbon sources and dissolved oxygen. Through the OptForce algorithm, we identified 20 reactions as targets. Overexpressing FFUJ_02053 and FFUJ_14337 resulted in a 37.5 and 75% increase in GA3 titers, respectively. These targets enhance carbon flux toward GA3 production. Our model holds promise for guiding the metabolic engineering of F. fujikuroi to achieve targeted overproduction. In summary, our study utilizes the iCY1235 model to understand GA3 regulation, optimize fermentation conditions, and identify specific targets for enhancing GA3 production through metabolic engineering.

Abstract
Caproic acid is a precursor substance for the synthesis of ethyl caproate, the main flavor substance of nongxiangxing baijiu liquor. In this study, Clostridium butyricum GD1-1, a strain with high caproic acid concentration (3.86 g/l), was isolated from the storage pit mud of nongxiangxing baijiu for sequencing and analysis. The strain's genome was 3,840,048 bp in length with 4,050 open reading frames. In addition, virulence factor annotation analysis showed C. butyricum GD1-1 to be safe at the genetic level. However, the annotation results using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Automatic Annotation Server predicted a deficiency in the strain's synthesis of alanine, methionine, and biotin. These results were confirmed by essential nutrient factor validation experiments. Furthermore, the optimized medium conditions for caproic acid concentration by strain GD1-1 were (g/l): glucose 30, NaCl 5, yeast extract 10, peptone 10, beef paste 10, sodium acetate 11, L-cysteine 0.6, biotin 0.004, starch 2, and 2.0% ethanol. The optimized fermentation conditions for caproic acid production by C. butyricum GD1-1 on a single-factor basis were: 5% inoculum volume, 35°C, pH 7, and 90% loading volume. Under optimal conditions, the caproic acid concentration of strain GD1-1 reached 5.42 g/l, which was 1.40 times higher than the initial concentration. C. butyricum GD1-1 could be further used in caproic acid production, NXXB pit mud strengthening and maintenance, and artificial pit mud preparation.

Abstract
AIMS We evaluated whether the randomness of mutation breeding can be regulated through a double-reporter system. We hope that by establishing a new precursor feeding strategy, the production capacity of industrial microorganisms after pilot scale-up can be further improved. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the industrial strain Streptomyces roseosporus L2796 was used as the starter strain for daptomycin production, and a double-reporter system with the kanamycin resistance gene Neo and the chromogenic gene gusA was constructed to screen for high-yield strain L2201 through atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP). Furthermore, the composition of the culture medium and the parameters of precursor replenishment were optimized, resulting in a significant enhancement of the daptomycin yield of the mutant strain L2201(752.67 mg/l). CONCLUSIONS This study successfully screened a high-yield strain of daptomycin through a double-reporter system combined with ARTP mutation. The expression level of two reporter genes can evaluate the strength of dptEp promoter, which can stimulate the expression level of dptE in the biosynthesis of daptomycin, thus producing more daptomycin. The developed multi-stage feeding rate strategy provides a novel way to increase daptomycin in industrial fermentation.

Abstract
Phenazine compounds are widely used in agricultural control and the medicine industry due to their high inhibitory activity against pathogens and antitumor activity. The green and sustainable method of synthesizing phenazine compounds through microbial fermentation often requires a complex culture medium containing tryptone and yeast extract, and its cost is relatively high, which greatly limits the large-scale industrial production of phenazine compounds by fermentation. The aim of this study was to develop a cost-effective minimal medium for the efficient synthesis of phenazine compounds by Pseudomonas chlororaphis. Through testing the minimum medium commonly used by Pseudomonas, an ME medium for P. chlororaphis with a high production of phenazine compounds was obtained. Then, the components of the ME medium and the other medium were compared and replaced to verify the beneficial promoting effect of Fe2+ and NH4+ on phenazine compounds. A cost-effective general defined medium (GDM) using glycerol as the sole carbon source was obtained by optimizing the composition of the ME medium. Using the GDM, the production of phenazine compounds by P. chlororaphis reached 1073.5 mg/L, which was 1.3 times that achieved using a complex medium, while the cost of the GDM was only 10% that of a complex medium (e.g., the KB medium). Finally, by engineering the glycerol metabolic pathway, the titer of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid reached the highest level achieved using a minimum medium so far. This work demonstrates how we systematically analyzed and optimized the composition of the medium and integrated a metabolic engineering method to obtain the most cost-effective fermentation strategy.

Abstract
Pullulanase is a starch debranching enzyme, which is difficult in secretory expression due to its large molecular weight. Vibrio natriegens is a novel expression host with excellent efficiency in protein synthesis. In this study, we achieved secretory expression of the full-length pullulanase PulA and its truncated mutant PulN2 using V. natriegens VnDX strain. Subsequently, we investigated the effects of signal peptide, fermentation temperature, inducer concentration, glycine concentration and fermentation time on the secretory expression. Moreover, the extracellular enzyme activities of the two pullulanases produced in V. natriegens VnDX and E. coli BL21(DE3) were compared. The highest extracellular enzyme activity of PulA and PulN2 in V. natriegens VnDX were 61.6 U/mL and 64.3 U/mL, which were 110% and 62% that of those in E. coli BL21(DE3), respectively. The results indicated that V. natriegens VnDX can be used for secretory expression of the full-length PulA with large molecular weight, which may provide a reference for the secretory expression of other large molecular weight proteins in V. natriegens VnDX.

Abstract
L-tryptophan (L-trp), produced through bio-manufacturing, is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Based on the previously developed L-trp-producing strain, this study significantly improved the titer and yield of L-trp, through metabolic engineering of the shikimate pathway and the L-tryptophan branch. First, the rate-limiting steps in the shikimate pathway were investigated and deciphered, revealing that the combined overexpression of the genes aroE and aroD increased L-trp production. Then, L-trp synthesis was further enhanced at the shaking flask level by improving the intracellular availability of L-glutamine (L-gln) and L-serine (L-ser). In addition, the transport system and the competing pathway of L-trp were also modified, indicating that elimination of the gene TnaB contributed to the extracellular accumulation of L-trp. Through optimizing formulas, the robustness and production efficiency of engineered strains were enhanced at the level of the 30 L fermenter. After 42 h of fed-batch fermentation, the resultant strain produced 53.65 g/L of L-trp, with a yield of 0.238 g/g glucose. In this study, the high-efficiency L-trp-producing strains were created in order to establish a basis for further development of more strains for the production of other highly valuable aromatic compounds or their derivatives.

Abstract
Adipic acid is a high-value-added dicarboxylic acid which is primarily used in the production of nylon-66 for manufacturing polyurethane foam and polyester resins. At present, the biosynthesis of adipic acid is hampered by its low production efficiency. By introducing the key enzymes of adipic acid reverse degradation pathway into a succinic acid overproducing strain Escherichia coli FMME N-2, an engineered E. coli JL00 capable of producing 0.34 g/L adipic acid was constructed. Subsequently, the expression level of the rate-limiting enzyme was optimized and the adipic acid titer in shake-flask fermentation increased to 0.87 g/L. Moreover, the supply of precursors was balanced by a combinatorial strategy consisting of deletion of sucD, over-expression of acs, and mutation of lpd, and the adipic acid titer of the resulting E. coli JL12 increased to 1.51 g/L. Finally, the fermentation process was optimized in a 5 L fermenter. After 72 h fed-batch fermentation, adipic acid titer reached 22.3 g/L with a yield of 0.25 g/g and a productivity of 0.31 g/(L·h). This work may serve as a technical reference for the biosynthesis of various dicarboxylic acids.

Abstract
Limonene is a volatile monoterpene compound that is widely used in food additives, pharmaceutical products, fragrances, and toiletries. We herein attempted to perform efficient biosynthesis of limonene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using systematic metabolic engineering strategies. First, we conducted de novo synthesis of limonene in S. cerevisiae and achieved a titer of 46.96 mg/L. Next, by dynamic inhibition of the competitive bypass of key metabolic branches regulated by ERG20 and optimization of the copy number of tLimS, a greater proportion of the metabolic flow was directed toward limonene synthesis, achieving a titer of 640.87 mg/L. Subsequently, we enhanced the acetyl-CoA and NADPH supply, which increased the limonene titer to 1097.43 mg/L. Then, we reconstructed the limonene synthesis pathway in the mitochondria. Dual regulation of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial metabolism further increased the limonene titer to 1586 mg/L. After optimization of the process of fed-batch fermentation, the limonene titer reached 2.63 g/L, the highest ever reported in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Cell culture media composition and culture conditions play a crucial role in product yield, quality and cost of production. Culture media optimization is the technique of improving media composition and culture conditions to achieve desired product outcomes. To achieve this, there have been many algorithmic methods proposed and used for culture media optimization in the literature. To help readers evaluate and decide on a method that best suits their specific application, we carried out a systematic review of the different methods from an algorithmic perspective that classifies, explains and compares the available methods. We also examine the trends and new developments in the area. This review provides recommendations to researchers regarding the suitable media optimization algorithm for their applications and we hope to also promote the development of new cell culture media optimization methods that are better suited to existing and upcoming challenges in this biotechnology field, which will be essential for more efficient production of various cell culture products.

Abstract
As the first nucleoside antibiotic discovered in fungi, cordycepin, with its various biological activities, has wide applications. At present, cordycepin is mainly obtained from the natural fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris. However, due to long production periods, low yields, and low extraction efficiency, harvesting cordycepin from natural C. militaris is not ideal, making it difficult to meet market demands. In this study, an engineered Yarrowia lipolytica YlCor-18 strain, constructed by combining metabolic engineering strategies, achieved efficient de novo cordycepin production from glucose. First, the cordycepin biosynthetic pathway derived from C. militaris was introduced into Y. lipolytica. Furthermore, metabolic engineering strategies including promoter, protein, adenosine triphosphate, and precursor engineering were combined to enhance the synthetic ability of engineered strains of cordycepin. Fermentation conditions were also optimized, after which, the production titer and yields of cordycepin in the engineered strain YlCor-18 under fed-batch fermentation were improved to 4362.54 mg/L and 213.85 mg/g, respectively, after 168 h. This study demonstrates the potential of Y. lipolytica as a cell factory for cordycepin synthesis, which will serve as the model for the green biomanufacturing of other nucleoside antibiotics using artificial cell factories.

Abstract
Lysergic acid (LA) is the key precursor of ergot alkaloids, and its derivatives have been used extensively for the treatment of neurological disorders. However, the poor fermentation efficiency limited its industrial application. At the same time, the hardship of genetic manipulation has hindered the metabolic engineering of Claviceps strains to improve the LA titer further. In this study, an efficient genetic manipulation system based on the protoplast-mediated transformation was established in the industrial strain Claviceps paspali. On this basis, the gene lpsB located in the ergot alkaloids biosynthetic gene cluster was deleted to construct the LA-producing cell factory. Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken designs were used in shaking flasks, achieving an optimal fermentation medium composition. The final titer of LA and iso-lysergic acid (ILA) reached 3.7 g·L-1, which was 4.6 times higher than that in the initial medium. Our work provides an efficient strategy for the biosynthesis of LA and ILA and lays the groundwork for its industrial production.

Abstract
Background: Tobacco alcoholization is an important step in increasing the quality of tobacco leaf, which may convert a portion of low-grade tobacco leaves into useable product, however this may take to 2-3 years. The addition of exogenous microorganisms to tobacco leaves and treating them by biological fermentation can shorten the maturation time of tobacco leaves, and improve the quality and applicability of low-grade tobacco leaves Methods: Several strains were screened from low-grade tobacco by flow cytometry, including the bacteria Bacillus amyloliticus, with starch degradation ability and Bacillus kochii, with protein degradation ability, and the fungus Filobasidium magnum with lipid oxidase ability, and were inoculated onto tobacco leaves, both individually and in combination, for solid-state fermentation Results: The greatest improvement in tobacco quality was observed when strains 4# and 3# were applied at a ratio of 3:1. The Maillard reaction products, such as 2-amyl furan, 1-(2-furanmethyl) -1 h-pyrrole, furfural and 2, 5-dimethylpyrazine, were significantly increased, by up to more than 2 times. When strains F7# and 3# were mixed at a ratio of 3:1, the improvement of sensory evaluation index was better than that of pure cultures. The increase of 3-(3, 4-dihydro-2h-pyrro-5-yl) pyridine, β -damasone and benzyl alcohol was more than 1 times. The increase of 2-amyl-furan was particularly significant, up to 20 times Conclusion: The functional strains screened from tobacco leaves were utilized for the biological fermentation of tobacco leaves, resulting in the reduction of irritation and an improvement in quality of final product, showing a good potential for application.

Abstract
Caproic acid is the precursor material of ethyl hexanoate, a representative flavor substance in strong flavor baijiu (SFB). Increasing the content of caproic acid in SFB helps to improve its quality. In the present study, caproic acid-producing bacteria from the pit mud of an SFB ecosystem were isolated, purified, and characterized. Strain BF-1 with the highest caproic acid yield (0.88 g/l) was selected. The morphological and molecular identification analysis showed that strain BF-1 was Enterococcus casseliflavus. The genome of E. casseliflavus BF-1 was sequenced and was found to be 2,968,377 bp in length with 3,270 open reading frames (ORFs). The caproic acid biosynthesis pathway in E. casseliflavus BF-1 was predicted based on the KAAS annotation. The virulence factors in the genome of strain BF-1 were annotated, which showed that E. casseliflavus BF-1 is safe at the genetic level. After adding essential nutrients based on the KAAS annotation, the optimum medium conditions for acid production by strain BF-1 were obtained by performing orthogonal experiments. The caproic acid yield of strain BF-1 reached 3.03 g/l, which was 3.44-fold higher than the initial yield. The optimized fer- mentation of caproic acid production by BF-1 was reported for the first time. The strain could be further used to regulate the ecosystem in baijiu production to improve its quality.

This study found that Botrytis cinerea extracts could act as a microbial call to induce a physiological modification of Streptomyces albulus for ε-PL efficient biosynthesis and thereby resulted in ε-PL production (34.2 g/liter) 1.34-fold higher than control. The elicitors could be primary isolated by ethanol and butanol extraction, which resulted in more vibrant, aggregate and stronger mycelia. The elicitor-derived physiological changes focused on three aspects: ε-PL synthase, energy metabolism, and lysine biosynthesis. After elicitor addition, upregulated sigma factor hrdD and improved transcription and expression of pls directly contributed to the high ε-PL productivity; upregulated genes in tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and energy metabolism promoted activities of citrate synthase and the electron transport system; in addition, pool enlargements of ATP, ADP, and NADH guaranteed the ATP provision for ε-PL assembly. Lysine biosynthesis was also increased based on enhancements of gene transcription, key enzyme activities, and intracellular metabolite pools related to carbon source utilization, the Embden-Meyerhof pathway (EMP), the diaminopimelic acid pathway (DAP), and the replenishment pathway. Interestingly, the elicitors stimulated the gene transcription for the quorum-sensing system and resulted in upregulation of genes for other antibiotic production. These results indicated that the Botrytis cinerea could produce inducing signals to change the Streptomyces mycelial physiology and accelerate the ε-PL biosynthesis. IMPORTANCE This work identified the role of microbial elicitors on ε-PL production and disclosed the underlying mechanism through analysis of gene transcription, key enzyme activities, and intracellular metabolite pools, including transcriptome and metabolome analysis. It was the first report for the inducing effects of the "microbial call" to Streptomyces albulus and ε-PL biosynthesis, and these elicitors could be potentially obtained from decayed fruits infected by Botrytis cinerea; hence, this may be a way of turning a biohazard into bioproduct wealth. This study provided a reference for application of microbial signals in secondary metabolite production, which is of theoretical and practical significance in industrial antibiotic production.

Abstract
Steroids are a class of compounds with cyclopentane polyhydrophenanthrene as the parent nucleus, and they usually have unique biological and pharmacological activities. Most of the biosynthesis of steroids is completed by a series of enzymatic reactions starting from cholesterol. Synthetic biology can be used to synthesize cholesterol in engineered microorganisms, but the production of cholesterol is too low to further produce other high-value steroids from cholesterol as the raw material and precursor. In this work, combinational strategies were established to increase the production of cholesterol in engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae RH6829. The basic medium for high cholesterol production was selected by screening 8 kinds of culture media. Single-factor optimization of the carbon and nitrogen sources of the culture medium, and the addition of calcium ions, zinc ions and citric acid, further increased the cholesterol production to 192.53 mg/l. In the 5-L bioreactor, through the establishment of strategies for glucose and citric acid feeding and dissolved oxygen regulation, the cholesterol production was further increased to 339.87 mg/l, which was 734% higher than that in the original medium. This is the highest titer of cholesterol produced by microorganisms currently reported. The fermentation program has also been conducted in a 50-L bioreactor to prove its stability and feasibility.

Abstract
Caproic acid is the precursor of ethyl caproate, the main representative flavor substance of strong-flavor baijiu (SFB). Caproic acid-producing bacteria are considered to be the most important type of acid-producing microorganisms in the pit mud of the SFB ecosystem. In this study, the Rummeliibacillus suwonensis 3B-1 with a high yield of caproic acid (4.064g/L) was screened from SFB pit mud. The genome of the R. suwonensis 3B-1 was sequenced, the total size was found to be 4,117,671bp and a calculated GC content of 35.86%. The caproic acid biosynthesis pathway was identified and analyzed, and it showed that 3B-1 could not only use ethanol, but it could also use glucose and other carbon sources as substrates to produce caproic acid. According to the genome analysis and with an optimized medium, the optimal conditions for caproic acid production were yeast powder at 3g/L, sodium acetate at 15g/L, and 1% biotin at 8mL/100mL. The yield of caproic acid reached 4.627g/L, an increase of 13.9%, which was higher than that of general caproic acid bacteria. This is the first report of the synthesis of caproic acid by R. suwonensis. This strain could be used to produce caproic acid, an artificial pit mud preparation, and/or an enhanced inoculum in the production of SFB.

Abstract
AIMS In order to acquire quality amylase adopted in practical applications, endophytic bacteria were identified as Bacillus velezensis strain D1 by isolating it from corn seeds. The fermentation conditions and amylase properties of the strain were investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS The strain D1 was identified via morphological, physiological, and 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis. The fermentation conditions of secreted amylase were optimized by single factor and orthogonal experiments. The α-amylase gene was expressed in E. coli and purified by means of immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC), upon which the enzyme activity of purified recombinant α-amylase was determined. The results outlined that (1) the strain D1 was identified as Bacillus velezensis. (2) The optimized fermentation conditions for maximum amylase yields included 44 °C for 48 h at pH 7.5. (3) The enzyme had an optimal reaction temperature of 60 °C with strong activity at 50°C and tolerance to 4-hour incubation at 70°C. (4) The enzyme was strongly acid resistant and tolerated at pH5.0-6.0 while the optimal pH was 8.0. (5) Besides, the amylase activity was elevated by the presence of Ca2+ and Cu2+ . (6) The activity of purified recombinant amylase was 20.59 U/mL under optimal conditions, nearly 7 times that of crude amylase preparations. CONCLUSIONS The amylase produced by this strain is strongly tolerant towards acid and high temperatures. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Amylases with thermophilic and acid-resistant characteristics are useful for a wide range of applications in food, brewing, textile, starch, paper, and deterrent industries. The enzyme from Bacillus velezensis D1 can be effectively used in different industries.

Abstract
N-Acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) is widely used as a supplement to promote brain health and enhance immunity. However, the low efficiency of de novo NeuAc synthesis limits its cost-efficient bioproduction. Herein, a synthetic multiplexed pathway engineering (SMPE) strategy is proposed to improve NeuAc synthesis. First, we compare the key enzyme sources and optimize the expression levels of three NeuAc synthesis pathways in Bacillus subtilis; the AGE, NeuC, and NanE pathways, for which NeuAc production reached 3.94, 5.67, and 0.19 g/L, respectively. Next, these synthesis pathways were combined and modularly optimized via the SMPE strategy, with production reaching 7.87 g/L. Finally, fed-batch fermentation in a 5 L fermenter reached 30.10 g/L NeuAc production, the highest reported production using glucose as the sole carbon source. Using a generally regarded as safe strain as a production host, the developed NeuAc-producing approach should be favorable for efficient bioproduction, without the need for plasmids, antibiotics, or chemical inducers.

Abstract
In this study, a high protease-producing strain was screened by spread plate method and identified by molecular biology and morphological identification. It was identified as Bacillus sp. LCB14. A neutral protease gene was cloned and heterologous expressed by B. subtilis SCK6. Then, the recombinant protease was used to dehair the goat skins. The fermentation conditions of neutral protease production by B. subtilis SCK6 were optimized. The single factor experiments, Plackett-Burma experiment, and response surface method were conducted to determine fermentation medium and culture conditions. The optimized medium contained corn meal 49 g/L, soluble starch 28 g/L, soybean meal 17 g/L, corn steep liquor powder 8 g/L, yeast extract 10 g/L, Na2HPO4 2.3 g/L, KH2PO4 1.9 g/L, MgSO4 0.5 g/L, MnCl2 0.1 g/L and ZnSO4 0.05 g/L. The optimized culture conditions were 35 °C and pH 7.0. Under the optimum conditions, the recombinant strain reached 33467.28 U/mL after 72 hr ferment. Moreover, by fed batch in 30 L fermenters, neutral protease production reached 39,440.78 U/mL and shortened fermentation time from 72 hr to 46 hr. Finally, the crude enzyme was utilized to replace sodium sulfide for dehairing of goatskins. The enzymatic dehaired pelts were white, smooth, and soft; the grain side of enzymatic dehaired pelts were clear; there was no obvious damage to the grain side of enzymatic dehaired pelts by visual observation and tactile test. Furthermore, there were no hair roots, hair follicles and other glands in enzymatic dehaired belts, and the collagen fibers of enzymatic dehaired belt were dispersed well by histological analysis.

Abstract
Yangpumicins (YPMs), for example, YPM A, F, and G, are newly discovered enediynes from Micromonospora yangpuensis DSM 45577, which could be exploited as promising payloads of antibody-drug conjugates. However, the low yield of YPMs in the wild-type strain (∼1 mg L-1 ) significantly hampers their further drug development. In this study, a combined ribosome engineering and fermentation optimization strategy has been used for yield improvement of YPMs. One gentamicin-resistant M. yangpuensis DSM 45577 strain (MY-G-1) showed higher YPMs production (7.4 ± 1.0 mg L-1 ), while it exhibits delayed sporulation and slender mycelium under scanning electron microscopy. Whole genome re-sequencing of MY-G-1 reveals several deletion and single nucleotide polymorphism mutations, which were confirmed by PCR and DNA sequencing. Further Box-Behnken experiment and regression analysis determined that the optimal medium concentrations of soluble starch, D-mannitol, and pharmamedia for YPMs production in shaking flasks (10.0 ± 0.8 mg L-1 ). Finally, the total titer of YPM A/F/G in MY-G-1 reached to 15.0 ± 2.5 mg L-1 in 3 L fermenters, which was about 11-fold higher than the original titer of 1.3 ± 0.3 mg L-1 in wild-type strain. Our study may be instrumental to develop YPMs into a clinical anticancer drug, and inspire the use of these multifaceted strategies for yield improvement in Micromonospora species.

Abstract
Recent noteworthy advances in the development of high-performing microbial and mammalian strains have enabled the sustainable production of bio-economically valuable substances such as bio-compounds, biofuels, and biopharmaceuticals. However, to obtain an industrially viable mass-production scheme, much time and effort are required. The robust and rational design of fermentation processes requires analysis and optimization of different extracellular conditions and medium components, which have a massive effect on growth and productivity. In this regard, knowledge- and data-driven modeling methods have received much attention. Constraint-based modeling (CBM) is a knowledge-driven mathematical approach that has been widely used in fermentation analysis and optimization due to its capabilities of predicting the cellular phenotype from genotype through high-throughput means. On the other hand, machine learning (ML) is a data-driven statistical method that identifies the data patterns within sophisticated biological systems and processes, where there is inadequate knowledge to represent underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, ML models are becoming a viable complement to constraint-based models in a reciprocal manner when one is used as a pre-step of another. As a result, more predictable model is produced. This review highlights the applications of CBM and ML independently and the combination of these two approaches for analyzing and optimizing fermentation parameters.

Abstract
Baijiu is an important fermented product in China. A yeast named YX3307 that is capable of producing a large amount of ethyl caproate (EC) was isolated from Daqu, a crude fermentation starter for Baijiu. This yeast was identified as Clavispora lusitaniae on the basis of its morphological properties, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and 26S rDNA sequence. Single-factor experiments were conducted to obtain the optimum fermentation conditions for EC production by YX3307. The highest EC yield (62.0 mg/L) from YX3307 was obtained with the following culture conditions: inoculum size 7.5% (v/v), seed cell age 30 h, sorghum hydrolysate medium (SHM) with a sugar content of 10 Brix and an initial pH of 6.0; incubation at 28°C with shaking at 180 rpm for 32 h; addition of 10% (v/v) anhydrous ethanol and 0.04% (v/v) caproic acid at 32 and 40 h, respectively, static culture at 20°C until 72 h. YX3307 synthesized more EC than ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate, ethyl butyrate, and ethyl octanoate. An intracellular enzyme or cell membrane enzyme was responsible for EC synthesis. YX3307 can produce many flavor compounds that are important for high-quality Baijiu. Thus, it has potential applications in improving the flavor and quality of Baijiu.

Abstract
The take-all disease of wheat is one of the most serious diseases in the field of food security in the world. There is no effective biological pesticide to prevent the take-all disease of wheat. 2-Hydroxyphenazine (2-OH-PHZ) was reported to possess a better inhibitory effect on the take-all disease of wheat than phenazine-1-carboxylic acid, which was registered as "Shenqinmycin" in China in 2011. The aim of this study was to construct a 2-OH-PHZ high-producing strain by strain screening, genome sequencing, genetic engineering, and fermentation optimization. First, the metabolites of the previously screened new phenazine-producing Pseudomonas sp. strain were identified, and the taxonomic status of the new Pseudomonas sp. strain was confirmed through 16S rRNA and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Then, the new Pseudomonas sp. strain was named Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca LX24, which is a new subspecies of P. chlororaphis that can synthesize 2-OH-PHZ. Next, the draft genome of strain LX24 was determined, and clusters of orthologous group (COG) analysis, KEGG analysis, and gene ontology (GO) analysis of strain LX24 were performed. Furthermore, the production of 2-OH-PHZ increased to 351.7 from 158.6 mg/L by deletion of the phenazine synthesis negative regulatory genes rpeA and rsmE in strain LX24. Finally, the 2-OH-PHZ production of strain LX24 reached 677.1 mg/L after fermentation optimization, which is the highest production through microbial fermentation reported to date. This work provides a reference for the efficient production of other pesticides and antibiotics.

Abstract
Efficient and novel recombinant protein expression systems can further reduce the production cost of enzymes. Vibrio natriegens is the fastest growing free-living bacterium with a doubling time of less than 10 min, which makes it highly attractive as a protein expression host. Here, 196 pET plasmids with different genes of interest (GOIs) were electroporated into the V. natriegens strain VnDX, which carries an integrated T7 RNA polymerase expression cassette. As a result, 65 and 75% of the tested GOIs obtained soluble expression in V. natriegens and Escherichia coli, respectively, 20 GOIs of which showed better expression in the former. Furthermore, we have adapted a consensus "what to try first" protocol for V. natriegens based on Terrific Broth medium. Six sampled GOIs encoding biocatalysts enzymes thus achieved 50-128% higher catalytic efficiency under the optimized expression conditions. Our study demonstrated V. natriegens as a pET-compatible expression host with a spectrum of highly expressed GOIs distinct from E. coli and an easy-to-use consensus protocol, solving the problem that some GOIs cannot be expressed well in E. coli.

Abstract
Fusarium wilt of banana caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is a disastrous soil-borne fungal disease. Foc tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) can infect almost all banana cultivars. Until now, there is a shortage of safety and effective control methods and commercial banana cultivars with a resistance against Foc TR4. Biocontrol using environmentally friendly microbes is a promising strategy for the management of Foc TR4. Here, a strain 5-10, newly isolated from a medicinal plant (Curculigo capitulata), exhibited a high antifungal activity against Foc TR4. Combing the morphological characteristics and molecular identification, strain 5-10 was classified as a Streptomyces genus. The sequenced genome revealed that more than 39 gene clusters were involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Some multidrug resistance gene clusters were also identified such as mdtD, vatB, and vgaE. To improve the anti-Foc TR4 activity of the strain 5-10 extracts, an optimization method of fermentation broth was established. Antifungal activity increased by 72.13% under the fermentation system containing 2.86 g/L of NaCl and 11.57% of inoculation amount. After being treated with the strain 5-10 extracts, the Foc TR4 hyphae shrinked, deformed, and ruptured. The membrane integrity and cell ultrastructure incurred irreversible damage. Streptomyces sp. 5-10 extracts play a fungicidal role in Foc TR4. Hence, Streptomyces sp. 5-10 will be a potential biocontrol agent to manage fungal diseases by exploring the microbial fertilizer.

Abstract
![]()
Violacein is a naturally
occurring anticancer therapeutic compound
with deep purple color. In this work, we harnessed the modular and
combinatorial feature of a Golden Gate assembly method to construct
a library of violacein producing strains in the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, where each gene in the violacein pathway
was controlled by three different promoters with varying transcriptional
strength. After optimizing the linker sequence and the Golden Gate
reaction, we achieved high transformation efficiency and obtained
a panel of representative Y. lipolytica recombinant
strains. By evaluating the gene expression profile of 21 yeast strains,
we obtained three colorful compounds in the violacein pathway: green
(proviolacein), purple (violacein), and pink (deoxyviolacein). Our
results indicated that strong expression of VioB, VioC, and VioD favors violacein production
with minimal byproduct deoxyvioalcein in Y. lipolytica, and high deoxyviolacein production was found strongly associated
with the weak expression of VioD. By further optimizing
the carbon to nitrogen ratio and cultivation pH, the maximum violacein
reached 70.04 mg/L with 5.28 mg/L of deoxyviolacein in shake flasks.
Taken together, the development of Golden Gate cloning protocols to
build combinatorial pathway libraries, and the optimization of culture
conditions set a new stage for accessing the violacein pathway intermediates
and engineering violacein production in Y. lipolytica. This work further expands the toolbox to engineering Y.
lipolytica as an industrially relevant host for plant or
marine natural product biosynthesis.

Abstract
Bafilomycin A1 is the representative compound of the plecomacrolide natural product family. This 16-membered ring plecomacrolide has potent antifungal and vacuolar H+-ATPase inhibitory activities. In our previous work, we identified a bafilomycin biosynthetic gene cluster (baf) from the marine bacterium Streptomyces lohii ATCC BAA-1276, wherein a luxR family regulatory gene orf1 and an afsR family regulatory gene bafG were revealed based on bioinformatics analysis. In this study, the positive regulatory roles of orf1 and bafG for bafilomycin biosynthesis are characterized through gene inactivation and overexpression. Compared to the wild-type S. lohii strain, the knockout of either orf1 or bafG completely abolished the production of bafilomycins. The overexpression of orf1 or bafG led to 1.3- and 0.5-fold increased production of bafilomycins, respectively. A genetically engineered S. lohii strain (SLO-08) with orf1 overexpression and inactivation of the biosynthetic genes orf2 and orf3, solely produced bafilomycin A1 with the titer of 535.1 ± 25.0 mg/L in an optimized fermentation medium in shaking flasks. This recombinant strain holds considerable application potential in large-scale production of bafilomycin A1 for new drug development.

Abstract
AIMS Constructing a strain with high yield of O-succinyl-l-homoserine (OSH) and improving the titre through multilevel fermentation optimization. METHODS AND RESULTS OSH high-yielding strain was first constructed by deleting the thrB gene to block the threonine biosynthesis. Single-factor experiment was carried out, where a Plackett-Burman design was used to screen out three factors (glucose, yeast and threonine) from the original 11 factors that affected the titre of OSH. The Box-Behnken response surface method was used to optimize the fermentation conditions. Through gene editing and medium optimization, the titre of OSH increased from 7·20 to 8·70 g l-1 in 500 ml flask. Furthermore, the fermentation process and fed-batch fermentation conditions including pH, temperature, feeding strategy and feeding medium were investigated and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the titre of OSH reached 102·5 g l-1 , which is 5·6 times higher than before (15·6 g l-1 ). CONCLUSIONS O-succinyl-l-homoserine fermentation process was established and the combination of response surface methodology and metabolic pathway analysis effectively improved the titre of OSH. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY In this study, the titre of OSH reached the needs for industrial production and the metabolic pathway of OSH was demonstrated for further optimization.

Abstract
Bioactivities, such as freshness maintenance, whitening, and prebiotics, of marine neoagaro-oligosaccharides (NAOS) with 4-12 degrees of polymerization (DPs) have been proven. However, NAOS produced by most marine β-agarases always possess low DPs (≤6) and limited categories; thus, a strategy that can efficiently produce NAOS especially with various DPs ≥8 must be developed. In this study, 60 amino acid residues with no functional annotation result were removed from the C-terminal of agarase AgaM1, and truncated recombinant AgaM1 (trAgaM1) was found to have the ability to produce NAOS with various DPs (4-12) under certain conditions. The catalytic efficiency and stability of trAgaM1 were obviously lower than the wild type (rAgaM1), which probably endowed trAgaM1 with the ability to produce NAOS with various DPs. The optimum conditions for various NAOS production included mixing 1% agarose (w/v) with 10.26 U/ml trAgaM1 and incubating the mixture at 50°C in deionized water for 100 min. This strategy produced neoagarotetraose (NA4), neoagarohexaose (NA6), neoagarooctaose (NA8), neoagarodecaose (NA10), and neoagarododecaose (NA12) at final concentrations of 0.15, 1.53, 1.53, 3.02, and 3.02 g/L, respectively. The NAOS served as end-products of the reaction. The conditions for trAgaM1 expression in a shake flask and 5 L fermentation tank were optimized, and the yields of trAgaM1 increased by 56- and 842-fold compared with those before optimization, respectively. This study provides numerous substrate sources for production and activity tests of NAOS with high DPs and offers a foundation for large-scale production of NAOS with various DPs at a low cost.

Abstract
Natural red pigments have been widely used as food and cosmetics additives. However, due to toxic byproducts or allergen issues, it is still necessary to look for some other red pigment products. This study proposed combinatorial strategies to improve production of a new kind of red pigments from the fungus Geomyces WNF-15A, isolated from Antarctica. A high-production medium was developed by statistical experimental design, which was further simplified for industrial use by single-factor experiments. Strain breeding by atmospheric room temperature plasma mutagenesis generated a mutant, Geomyces sp. WNF-15A-M210, which increased production of red pigments by 24.4% and shortened culture phase by 33.3% comparing with the wild-type. The production of red pigments by this mutant favored a weak alkaline condition but required only mild dissolved oxygen tension. Control of initial pH 8.5 (process pH around 7.5) increased red pigments production by 19% comparing with natural condition. Precursor and inhibitor addition experiments indicated that the red pigments were synthesized by polyketide pathway, and feeding 6 mmol/L precursor of sodium acetate by three aliquots at days 3 to 5 improved biosynthesis of red pigments by 27%. Finally, the developed culture process was verified in a 5-L stirred tank bioreactor. The red pigments production of the pH regulation group reached 1.11-fold of the control and 1.95-fold of the precursor regulation group, respectively. This study provides high-production strain, optimized medium, and bioprocess for the possible industrial production of Antarctic Geomyces red pigments in future. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Antarctic Geomyces red pigments showed high color value, nontoxic characteristic, and good water solubility. It holds potential for industrial use and is under development for food additive in China currently. This study provides an optional manufacturing process for this new kind of red pigments.

Abstract
Brevibacillus offers great potential as a recombinant protein expression host because of its exceptional abilities to synthesize and excrete proteins and its low extracellular protease activity. Despite these strengths, effective recombinant expression strategies are still the key to achieving high-level expression of recombinant proteins in Brevibacillus due to individual differences among strains and target proteins. Many strategies have been developed to improve recombinant protein expression in Brevibacillus. This review begins by introducing the processes used to establish and apply the Brevibacillus expression system, and then critically discusses the strategies available for improving recombinant protein expression in Brevibacillus, including optimization of the host and the expression vector, co-expression of a fusion partner or foldase, and optimization of the fermentation process. Finally, the prospects for further improvement of recombinant protein expression based on Brevibacillus are also discussed. This review is intended to provide a strategic reference for scientists wanting to improve the expression of a specific recombinant protein in Brevibacillus or other expression systems.

Abstract
AIMS To obtain and investigate the potential mechanism for GA3 production in Fusarium fujikuroi GA-251, a high GA3 producer. METHODS AND RESULTS Fusarium fujikuroi IMI 58289 was bred with Cobalt-60 (60 Co) radiation and lithium chloride treatment. The best mutant strain GA-251 was obtained for the subsequent optimization of fermentation conditions. The yield of GA3 by GA-251 was 2100 mg l-1 , while the wild-type strain was 100 mg l-1 , which is a 21-fold increase in the yield. To elucidate the mechanism of high GA3 yield of GA-251, the genome was sequenced and compared with wild-type strain IMI 58289. The results showed 2295 single nucleotide polymorphisms, 1242 small indels and 30 structural variants. These mutations were analysed and enriched in the MAPK signalling pathway, the mRNA surveillance pathway and endocytosis. The potential reasons for the improved GA3 biosynthesis were investigated. CONCLUSIONS The potential mechanism of high GA3 yield was attributed to endocytosis pathway and histone modification proteins family. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY A mutant strain GA-251 in this work that could potentially be utilized in the industrial yield of GA3 . The comparative genome analysis would shed light onto the mechanism of yield improvement and be a theoretical guide for further metabolic engineering.

Abstract
2-Hydroxyphenazine (2-OH-PHZ) is an effective biocontrol antibiotic secreted by Pseudomonas chlororaphis GP72AN and is transformed from phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA). PCA is the main component of the recently registered biopesticide "Shenqinmycin". Previous research showed that 2-OH-PHZ was better in controlling wheat take-all disease than PCA; however, 2-OH-PHZ production was low under natural conditions. Herein, we confirmed that PCA induced reactive oxygen species in its host P. chlororaphis GP72AN and that the addition of DTT improved PCA production by 1.8-fold, whereas the supplementation of K3[Fe(CN)6] and H2O2 increased the conversion rate of PCA to 2-OH-PHZ. Finally, a two-stage fermentation strategy combining the addition of DTT at 12 h and H2O2 at 24 h enhanced 2-OH-PHZ production. Taken together, the two-stage fermentation strategy was designed to enhance 2-OH-PHZ production for the first time, and it provided a valuable reference for the fermentation of other antibiotics.

Abstract
In recent years, the wide application of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) in food, cosmetics, medicine, and other fields has drawn tremendous attention. In this study, an EPS produced by Pseudoalteromonas agarivorans Hao 2018 was isolated and purified, and its fermentation conditions were optimized. Its structure and biological functions were also studied. The purity and molecular weight of EPS were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the EPS exhibited a number average of 2.26 × 105 and a weight average of 2.84 × 105. EPS has good adsorption for Cu2+ and Pb2+. The adsorption rates can reach up to 69.79% and 82.46%, respectively. The hygroscopic property of EPS was higher than that of chitosan, but slightly lower than that of sodium hyaluronate. However, the water-retaining activity of EPS was similar to that of chitosan and sodium hyaluronate. EPS has strong ability to scavenge free radicals, including OH radical and O2− radical. Further, its activity on O2− radicals has similarities with that of vitamin C. EPS has broad application prospects in many fields, such as cosmetics, environmental protection.

Abstract
In industrial fermentation processes, bacteria have to adapt environmental stresses. Sometimes, such a self-adaption does not work and will cause fermentation failures, although such adaptation also can generate unexpected positive effects with improved fermentation performance. Our review introduces cell self-adaption to environmental variations or stress, process optimization based on such self-adaptions, with heterologous proteins production by Pichia pastoris and butanol fermentation as examples. Our review can sever as reference for fermentation optimization based on cell self-adaption.

Abstract
The xylose operon is an efficient biological element used for the regulation of gene expression in Bacillus licheniformis. Although the mechanism underlying the xylose-mediated regulation of this operon has been elucidated, the transcriptional changes that occur under various fermentation conditions remain unclear. In this study, the effects of different conditions on xylose operon expression were investigated. Significant upregulation was observed during the transition from the logarithmic phase to the stationary phase (2.5-fold, n = 3, p < 0.01). Glucose suppressed transcription over 168-fold (n = 3, p < 0.01). Meanwhile, the inhibitory effect of glucose hardly strengthened at concentrations from 20 to 180 g/L. Furthermore, the transcription of the xylose operon increased at elevated temperatures (25-42 °C) and was optimal at a neutral pH (pH 6.5-7.0). Based on these findings, relevant fermentation strategies (delaying the induction time, using dextrin as a carbon source, increasing the fermentation temperature, and maintaining a neutral pH) were proposed. Subsequently, these strategies were validated through the use of maltogenic amylase as a reporter protein, as an 8-fold (n = 3, p < 0.01) increase in recombinant enzyme activity compared to that under unoptimized conditions was observed. This work contributes to the development of fermentation optimization and furthers the use of the xylose operon as an efficient expression element.

Abstract
The deep-sea bacterium strain FA13 was isolated from the sediment of the South Atlantic Ocean and identified as Bacillus circulans based on 16S ribosomal DNA sequence. Through liquid fermentation with five media, the cell-free supernatant fermented with ISP2 showed the highest inhibition activities against mycelial growth of Aspergillus parasiticus mutant strain NFRI-95 and accumulation of norsolorinic acid, a precursor for aflatoxin production. Based on ISP2, uniform design was used to optimize medium formula and fermentation conditions. After optimization, the inhibition efficacy of the 20-time diluted supernatant against A. parasiticus NFRI-95 mycelial growth and aflatoxin production was increased from 0–23.1% to 100%. Moreover, compared to the original protocol, medium cost and fermentation temperature were significantly reduced, and dependence on seawater was completely relieved, thus preventing the fermentor from corrosion. This is the first report of a deep-sea microorganism which can inhibit A. parasiticus NFRI-95 mycelial growth and aflatoxin production.

Abstract
Tiancimycins (TNMs) are a group of 10-membered anthraquinone-fused enediynes, newly discovered from Streptomyces sp. CB03234. Among them, TNM-A and TNM-D have exhibited excellent antitumor performances and could be exploited as very promising warheads for the development of anticancer antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). However, their low titers, especially TNM-D, have severely limited following progress. Therefore, the streptomycin-induced ribosome engineering was adopted in this work for strain improvement of CB03234, and a TNMs high producer S. sp. CB03234-S with the K43N mutation at 30S ribosomal protein S12 was successfully screened out. Subsequent media optimization revealed the essential effects of iodide and copper ion on the production of TNMs, while the substitution of nitrogen source could evidently promote the accumulation of TNM-D, and the ratio of produced TNM-A and TNM-D was responsive to the change of carbon and nitrogen ratio in the medium. Further amelioration of the pH control in scaled up 25 L fermentation increased the average titers of TNM-A and TNM-D up to 13.7 ± 0.3 and 19.2 ± 0.4 mg/L, respectively. The achieved over 45-fold titer improvement of TNM-A, and 109-fold total titer improvement of TNM-A and TNM-D enabled the efficient purification of over 200 mg of each target molecule from 25 L fermentation. Our efforts have demonstrated a practical strategy for titer improvement of anthraquinone-fused enediynes and set up a solid base for the pilot scale production and preclinical studies of TNMs to expedite the future development of anticancer ADC drugs.

Abstract
The high cell density culture of baker's yeast FX-2 was investigated in a 50 L(A) automatic bioreactor. Herein, it was found firstly that the Crabtree effect clearly existed in batch fermentation with higher glucose content, then the critical initial glucose content range (≤2.00 g L-1 ) was reasonably ascertained to effectively avoid Crabtree effect. In the next fed-batch fermentations with different strategies, the second strategy (maintain ethanol concentration lower than 0.10% and pH around 4.80) was confirmed to be more beneficial to yeast growth than the first strategy (keep reducing sugar not more than 2.00 g L-1 and control steady Carbon/Nitrogen ratio 3.05:1.00). After that, one optimal control strategy (maintain pH around 4.80 and keep respiratory quotient in the range of 0.90-1.00) was constructed to further enhance cell yield. Under an optimal control strategy, four schemes with the aim of achieving pH-stat were compared, and yeast extract instead of other alkaline materials was selected as a better regulator. As a result, 148.37 g L-1 dry cell weight, 38.25 × 108 mL-1 living cells, and 8.24 g L-1 h-1 productivity were harvested, which respectively elevated 23.74%, 135.38%, and 24.47% compared to that obtained under the traditional scheme (regulate pH with ammonia); meanwhile, the maximum oxygen uptake rate and carbon dioxide excretion rate were both more than 250.00 mmol L-1 min-1 .

Abstract
5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a key metabolic intermediate of the heme biosynthesis pathway, which has broad application prospects in agriculture and medicine. However, segregational instability of plasmid-based expression systems and low yield have hampered large-scale manufacture of 5-ALA. In this study, two important genes of the 5-ALA C5 biosynthesis pathway, hemA and hemL, were integrated into Escherichia coli MG1655 for chemically induced chromosomal evolution (CIChE). The highest hemA and hemL copy-number, 98 per genome, was obtained in CIChE strain MG136. The 5-ALA titer of this strain reached 2724 mg/L in optimized condition. Then, after undergoing adaptative evolution and the deletion of recA, strain MG136a ΔrecA::FRT could stably produce 4550 mg/L 5-ALA from glucose, 450 times the amount produced by hemA- hemL single copy strain MG1655-hemAL. This study constructed a plasmid-free E. coli strain for 5-ALA production, which will provide the basis for further manipulation of metabolic regulation and optimization of fermentation.

Abstract
Enduracidin significantly inhibits Gram-positive bacteria and had been widely used in many fields. However, as the poor technology for production of enduracidin and its scarcity, identification of novel strategies for production of enduracidin is important. Our group developed two methods to improve the yield of the production of enduracidin. The yield of enduracidin was increased by three- to fivefold. The highest yields of enduracidin A and enduracidin B achieved were 63.7 and 82.13 mg/ml. Thus, our results might provide a new reference method for the industrial production of enduracidin.

Abstract
As a platform chemical, acetoin has a great potential of application in medicine and food industries. In order to improve the efficiency of acetoin production, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was treated by atmospheric and room temperature plasma and gamma rays. Two-round screening was adopted for obtaining positive mutants, and the best mutant B. amyloliquefaciens H-5 produced acetoin up to 68.2 g/L in shake flask. Then, culture conditions were optimized in 5-L fermentor to enhance acetoin production. Finally, 85.2 g/L acetoin was produced by B. amyloliquefaciens H-5, which was increased by 26.8% compared with that of the original strain B. amyloliquefaciens FMME088. These results indicated that the high-producing strain can be obtained efficiently by compound mutagenesis, which has a promising prospect for commercial scale process.

Abstract
Seven isolates from spoiled fruits and vegetables were screened for pectinase production using pectin agar plates and the most efficient bacterial strain, MPTD1, was identified as Bacillus sonorensis. Optimisation of various process parameters was done using Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken designs and it was found that parameters like yeast extract, K2HPO4, incubation time, NaNO3 and KCl have a negative impact on pectinase production. Parameters like pH and MgSO4 and pectin mass fractions have a positive impact on pectinase production. The maximum obtained enzyme activity was 2.43 (μM/mL)/min. This is the first report on pectinase production by Bacillus sonorensis.

Abstract
Collagenases are the most important group of commercially-produced enzymes. However, even though biological resources are abundant in the sea, very few of these commercially popular enzymes are from marine sources, especially from marine bacteria. We optimized the production of marine collagenases by Pseudoalteromonas sp. SJN2 and investigated the antioxidant activities of the hydrolysates. Media components and culture conditions associated with marine collagenase production by Pseudoalteromonas sp. SJN2 were optimized by statistical methods, namely Plackett–Burman design and response surface methodology (RSM). Furthermore, the marine collagenases produced by Pseudoalteromonas sp. SJN2 were seen to efficiently hydrolyze marine collagens extracted from fish by-products, and remarkable antioxidant capacities of the enzymatic hydrolysates were shown by DPPH radical scavenging and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) tests. The final optimized fermentation conditions were as follows: soybean powder, 34.23 g·L−1; culture time, 3.72 d; and temperature, 17.32 °C. Under the optimal fermentation conditions, the experimental collagenase yield obtained was 322.58 ± 9.61 U·mL−1, which was in agreement with the predicted yield of 306.68 U·mL−1. Collagen from Spanish mackerel bone, seabream scale and octopus flesh also showed higher DPPH radical scavenging rates and ORAC values after hydrolysis by the collagenase. This study may have implications for the development and use of marine collagenases. Moreover, seafood waste containing beneficial collagen could be used to produce antioxidant peptides by proteolysis.
