Abstract
Gastric and colorectal cancer are among the most frequently diagnosed malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract. Searching for methods of therapy that complements treatment or has a preventive effect is desirable. Bacterial metabolites safe for human health, which have postbiotic effect, are of interest recently. The study aimed to preliminary assessment of the safety, antimicrobial, and anti-cancer activity of cell-free metabolites of Gluconobacter oxydans strains isolated from Kombucha beverages as an example of the potential postbiotic activity of acetic acid bacteria (AAB). The study material consisted of five AAB strains of Kombucha origin and three human cell lines (gastric adenoma-AGS, colorectal adenoma-HT-29, and healthy cells derived from the endothelium of the human umbilical vein-HUVEC). Results of the study confirms the health safety and functional properties of selected AAB strains, including their potential postbiotic properties. The best potential anticancer activity of the AAB cell-free supernatants was demonstrated against AGS gastric adenoma cells. The conducted research proves the postbiotic potential of selected acetic acid bacteria, especially the KNS30 strain. KEY POINTS: •The beneficial and application properties of acetic acid bacteria are poorly studied. •Gluconobacter oxydans from Kombucha show a postbiotic activity. •The best anticancer activity of the G. oxydans showed against gastric adenoma.

Xu Y, Ji L, Xu S, Bilal M, Ehrenreich A, Deng Z, Cheng H. Membrane-bound sorbitol dehydrogenase is responsible for the unique oxidation of D-galactitol to L-xylo-3-hexulose and D-tagatose in Gluconobacter oxydans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gluconobacter oxydans, is used in biotechnology because of its ability to oxidize a wide variety of carbohydrates, alcohols, and polyols in a stereo- and regio-selective manner by membrane-bound dehydrogenases located in periplasmic space. These reactions obey the well-known Bertrand-Hudson's rule. In our previous study (BBA-General Subjects, 2021, 1865:129740), we discovered that Gluconobacter species, including G. oxydans and G. cerinus strain can regio-selectively oxidize the C-3 and C-5 hydroxyl groups of D-galactitol to rare sugars D-tagatose and L-xylo-3-hexulose, which represents an exception to Bertrand Hudson's rule. The enzyme catalyzing this reaction is located in periplasmic space or membrane-bound and is PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinine) and Ca2+-dependent; we were encouraged to determine which type of enzyme(s) catalyze this unique reaction. METHODS Enzyme was identified by complementation of multi-deletion strain of Gluconobacter oxydans 621H with all putative membrane-bound dehydrogenase genes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS In this study, we identified this gene encoding the membrane-bound PQQ-dependent dehydrogenase that catalyzes the unique galactitol oxidation reaction in its 3'-OH and 5'-OH. Complement experiments in multi-deletion G. oxydans BP.9 strains established that the enzyme mSLDH (encoded by GOX0855-0854, sldB-sldA) is responsible for galactitol's unique oxidation reaction. Additionally, we demonstrated that the small subunit SldB of mSLDH was membrane-bound and served as an anchor protein by fusing it to a red fluorescent protein (mRubby), and heterologously expressed in E. coli and the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. The SldB subunit was required to maintain the holo-enzymatic activity that catalyzes the conversion of D-galactitol to L-xylo-3-hexulose and D-tagatose. The large subunit SldA encoded by GOX0854 was also characterized, and it was discovered that its 24 amino acids signal peptide is required for the dehydrogenation activity of the mSLDH protein. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE In this study, the main membrane-bound polyol dehydrogenase mSLDH in G. oxydans 621H was proved to catalyze the unique galactitol oxidation, which represents an exception to the Bertrand Hudson's rule, and broadens its substrate ranges of mSLDH. Further deciphering the explicit enzymatic mechanism will prove this theory.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans is a well-known acetic acid bacterium that has long been applied in the biotechnological industry. Its extraordinary capacity to oxidize a variety of sugars, polyols, and alcohols into acids, aldehydes, and ketones is advantageous for the production of valuable compounds. Relevant G. oxydans industrial applications are in the manufacture of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), miglitol, gluconic acid and its derivatives, and dihydroxyacetone. Increasing efforts on improving these processes have been made in the last few years, especially by applying metabolic engineering. Thereby, a series of genes have been targeted to construct powerful recombinant strains to be used in optimized fermentation. Furthermore, low-cost feedstocks, mostly agro-industrial wastes or byproducts, have been investigated, to reduce processing costs and improve the sustainability of G. oxydans bioprocess. Nonetheless, further research is required mainly to make these raw materials feasible at the industrial scale. The current shortage of suitable genetic tools for metabolic engineering modifications in G. oxydans is another challenge to be overcome. This paper aims to give an overview of the most relevant industrial G. oxydans processes and the current strategies developed for their improvement.

Abstract
The direct fermentation of the precursor of vitamin C, 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2-KLG), has been a long-pursued goal. Previously, a strain of Gluconobacter oxydans WSH-004 was isolated that produced 2.5 g/L 2-KLG, and through adaptive evolution engineering, the strain G. oxydans MMC3 could tolerate 300 g/L D-sorbitol. This study verified that the sndh-sdh gene cluster encoded two key dehydrogenases for the 2-KLG biosynthesis pathway in this strain. Then G. oxydans MMC3 further evolved through adaptive evolution to G. oxydans 2-KLG5, which can tolerate high concentrations of D-sorbitol and 2-KLG. Finally, by increasing the gene expression levels of the sndh-sdh and terminal oxidase cyoBACD in G. oxydans 2-KLG5, the 2-KLG accumulation in the 5-L fermenter increased to 45.14 g/L by batch fermentation. The results showed that combined evolutionary and metabolic engineering efficiently improved the direct production of 2-KLG from D-sorbitol in G. oxydans.

Abstract
Bioprocess for Glycolic acid (GA) production from ethylene glycol by whole-cell catalysis of Gluconobacter oxydans is restrained by various biological impediments and high production costs. In this study, these limitations were subsided through the implementation of immobilized whole-cell bio-catalysis combined with increased oxygen supply. Results indicated that this strategy noticeably enhanced mass transfer efficiency, and prolonged cell life that significantly reduced the cost of biomass. Ultimately, with immobilized whole-cell catalysis in air-open and oxygen-open bioreactor, 41.3 and 66.9 g/L of GA was obtained within 48 h, with an increment of 62.0%. Additionally, in oxygen-compressed bioreactor, 63.3 g/L of GA was accumulated with the yield of 97.2%. Subsequently, 605.7 g of GA was produced after 10 rounds of recovery experiments. Although there was a slight decrease in GA production compared with pure-oxygen supply, production cost was reduced with limited oxygen supply. This strategy commendably demonstrated cost-practical bioprocess for GA production.

Abstract
Immobilized whole-cell fermentation has been proven to be an effective method to improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of Gluconobacter oxydans ATCC 621. In the bio-oxidation of xylose to xylonic acid, the oxygen supply through the immobilized beads is a well-known factor that limits the biocatalytic performance of Gluconobacter oxydans as obligate aerobic bacteria. The activity of immobilized cells could be efficiently improved by execution of pressurized pure oxygen supply strategy. Subsequently, in order to further enhance the production efficiency of xylonic acid and reduce end-product inhibition, online-electrodialysis was employed. Finally, a design of pressurized oxygen supply bioreactor combining with online-electrodialysis was put forward for implementing successive production of xylonic acid. The central features of this a highly integrated design are feasible and thus might enable cost-competitive bacterial xylonic acid production.

Abstract
An integrated and green process for co-producing xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and gluconic acid (GA), was developed by utilizing sugarcane bagasse as starting material. In this study, the highest XOS yield of 39.1% obtained from the prehydrolysis was achieved with 10% acetic acid at 150 °C for 45 min. Subsequently, 88.6% conversion of cellulose was achieved in a fed-batch enzymatic hydrolysis using a solid loading of 15%. Results of glucose fermentation suggested that inherent regulatory system of strain Gluconobacter oxydans ATCC 621H boosted GA accumulation without the requirement of pH control, leading to a good 96.3% of GA yield. Great performance of this strain offer an economically feasible option for the large-scale sustainable GA production from biomass. Overall, approximately 105 g XOS and 340 g GA were co-produced from 1 kg of dried sugarcane bagasse as feedstock; this integrated process might be a cost-effective option for the comprehensive utilization of sugarcane bagasse.

Abstract
High-efficiency cell proliferation of Gluconobacter oxydans was carried out in a compressed oxygen supply and sealed bioreactor to co-produce biomass and corresponding metabolite (sorbose). Higher cell density of Gluconobacter oxydans was achieved by implementing high-oxygen tension supply strategy resulting into high sorbose production from bio-oxidation of sorbitol. The highest biomass of 8.8 g/L and highest sorbose production of 432.8 g/L were simultaneously obtained after 72 h of fed-batch operation. Moreover, continuous co-production of biomass and sorbose was successfully conducted with retaining 10% sorbitol fermentation broth as the seed of next stage culture. The key features of this bioprocess application would enable cost-competitive Gluconobacter oxydans industrial applications.

Abstract
Cheese whey, produced from coagulation of milk during cheese manufacture, is a major environmental pollutant. The most abundant component in cheese whey is lactose, which is a potential resource for various value-added chemicals. Here, a two-step bioprocess using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Gluconobacter oxydans to bioconvert cheese whey into ethanol and galactonic acid was first proposed. First, the lactose in cheese whey powder was pretreated with β-galactosidase to obtain glucose and galactose. Subsequently, the glucose was selectively fermented to ethanol by S. cerevisiae to enable G. oxydans-mediated biooxidation of galactose to galactonic acid. Finally, approximately 110 g ethanol, 320 g galactonate, and 150 g mixed protein (residual cheese whey protein and cell protein) was produced from 1 kg CWP. These results are suggestive of alternative methods for management of cheese whey, which may reduce its impact on the environment and result in production of value-added biochemicals.

Abstract
Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is an efficient fermentation operation in lignocellulose biorefining. However, SSF may not be applicable when the pH values of hydrolysis and fermentation do not match, or the strong intermediate inhibitors on cellulase activity are generated. This study proposed a cascade hydrolysis and fermentation (CHF) process for cellulosic gluconic acid fermentation to overcome the inhibition of the intermediate glucono-γ-lactone on cellulase activity. The pretreated and detoxified corn stover feedstock was enzymatically hydrolyzed into hydrolysate slurry, then gluconic acid and xylonic acid fermentations were directly conducted by inoculating Gluconobacter oxydans strain without solid/liquid separation. The sugar loss and energy consumption were effectively avoided by moving the solid/liquid separation into the fermentation stage. The experiments and the techno-economic analysis show that the CHF is simple and cost effective fermentation operation when SSF is not applicable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is a direct-injection mass spectrometric technique that has been introduced recently into the field of food and flavor analysis. It also shows potential for use in the monitoring of food fermentations. Therefore, this study aimed at the online monitoring of different volatile compounds produced during starter culture-initiated liquid sourdough fermentations by SIFT-MS, for which a new workflow was developed. RESULTS The online monitoring of the volatile sample compounds acetoin and ethyl acetate, diacetyl, and ethanol was made possible during the production of sourdoughs obtained through fermentation with several interesting strains belonging to the species Lactobacillus crustorum, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus hilgardii, Lactobacillus nagelii, Lactobacillus sakei, and Gluconobacter oxydans. Acetoin and ethyl acetate could not be distinguished based solely on SIFT-MS data. Diacetyl production was monitored in the case of Lb. crustorum LMG 23699 as a starter culture strain, thereby making the distinction between those volatiles produced in sourdough without extra ingredients added or after the addition of citrate or malate. CONCLUSION Starter culture-initiated liquid sourdough fermentations were monitored successfully. The volatile compound production of the different starter culture strains tested reflected differences in their metabolism and/or competitiveness in a sourdough matrix. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The growing consumer demand for low-calorie, sugar-free foodstuff motivated us to search for alternative non-nutritive sweeteners. A promising sweet-tasting compound is 5-keto-D-fructose (5-KF), which is formed by membrane-bound fructose dehydrogenases (Fdh) in some Gluconobacter strains. The plasmid-based expression of the fdh genes in Gluconobacter (G.) oxydans resulted in a much higher Fdh activity in comparison to the native host G. japonicus. Growth experiments with G. oxydans fdh in fructose-containing media indicated that 5-KF was rapidly formed with a conversion efficiency of 90%. 5-KF production from fructose was also observed using resting cells with a yield of about 100%. In addition, a new approach was tested for the production of the sweetener 5-KF by using sucrose as a substrate. To this end, a two-strain system composed of the fdh-expressing strain and a G. oxydans strain that produced the sucrose hydrolyzing SacC was developed. The strains were co-cultured in sucrose medium and converted 92.5% of the available fructose units into 5-KF. The glucose moiety of sucrose was converted to 2-ketogluconate and acetate. With regard to the development of a sustainable and resource-saving process for the production of 5-KF, sugar beet extract was used as substrate for the two-strain system. Fructose as product from sucrose cleavage was mainly oxidized to 5-KF which was detected in a concentration of over 200 mM at the end of the fermentation process. In summary, the two-strain system was able to convert fructose units of sugar beet extract to 5-KF with an efficiency of 82 ± 5%.

Abstract
L-erythrose, a rare aldotetrose, possesses various pharmacological activities. However, efficient L-erythrose production is challenging. Currently, L-erythrose is produced by a two-step fermentation process from erythritol. Here, we describe a novel strategy for the production of L-erythrose in Gluconobacter oxydans (G. oxydans) by localizing the assembly of L-ribose isomerase (L-RI) to membrane-bound sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) via the protein-peptide interactions of the PDZ domain and PDZ ligand. To demonstrate this self-assembly, green fluorescent protein (GFP) replaced L-RI and its movement to membrane-bound SDH was observed by fluorescence microscopy. The final L-erythrose production was improved to 23.5 g/L with the stepwise metabolic engineering of G. oxydans, which was 1.4-fold higher than that obtained using coexpression of SDH and L-RI in G. oxydans. This self-assembly strategy shows remarkable potential for further improvement of L-erythrose production.

Abstract
Some inorganic nitrogen sources and amino acids instead of yeast extract, which resulted in trouble of product purification, were introduced for 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) production by biotransformation with Gluconobacter oxydans. The results showed that urea is an optimal nitrogen source. Furthermore, the effects of glycerol- and urea-feeding strategies for DHA production by immobilized cells in a home-made bubble column bioreactor were optimized. Cells immobilization was prepared by cultivation in the bioreactor packed with porous ceramics, and then the broth was removed. Then, repeated biotransformation by continuous-feeding of glycerol and urea was developed. Up to 96.4±4.1g/L of average DHA concentration with 94.8±2.2% of average conversion rate of glycerol to DHA was achieved after 12 cycles of run. Near colorless DHA solution with few impurities was obtained and the production cost could be decreased.

Abstract
The maximal rates and effective constants of 2,6-dichlorphenolindophenol and oxygen reduction by bacterim Gluconobacter oxydans in bacterial fuel cells under different conditions were evaluated. In an open-circuit mode, the rate of 2,6-dichlorphenolindophenol reduction coupled with ethanol oxidation under oxygen and nirogen atmospheres were 1.0 and 1.1 μM s–1 g–1, respectively. In closed-circuit mode, these values were 0.4 and 0.44 μM s–1 g–1, respectively. The initial rate of mediator reduction with the use of membrane fractions of bacteria in oxygen and nitrogen atmospheres in open-circuit mode were 6.3 and 6.9 μM s–1 g–1, whereas these values in closed-circuit mode comprised 2.2 and 2.4 μM s–1 g–1, respectively. The oxygen reduction rates in the presence and absence of 2,6-dichlorphenolindophenol were 0.31 and 0.32 μM s–1 g–1, respectively. The data obtained in this work demonstrated independent electron transfer from bacterial redox centers to the mediator and the absence of competition between the redox mediator and oxygen. The results can make it possible to reduce costs of microbial fuel cells based on activity of acetic acid bacteria G. oxydans.

Abstract
An oxidative production process of xylonic acid using xylose in distillation stillage of cellulosic ethanol fermentation broth was designed, experimentally investigated, and evaluated. Dry dilute acid pretreated and biodetoxified corn stover was simultaneously saccharified and fermented into 59.80g/L of ethanol (no xylose utilization). 65.39g/L of xylose was obtained in the distillation stillage without any concentrating step after ethanol was distillated. Then the xylose was completely converted into 66.42g/L of xylonic acid by Gluconobacter oxydans. The rigorous Aspen Plus modeling shows that the wastewater generation and energy consumption was significantly reduced comparing to the previous xylonic acid production process using xylose in pretreatment liquid. This study provided a practical process option for xylonic acid production from lignocellulose feedstock with significant reduction of wastewater and energy consumption.

Abstract
High titer gluconic acid and xylonic acid were simultaneously fermented by Gluconobacter oxydans DSM 2003 using corn stover feedstock after dry dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment, biodetoxification and high solids content hydrolysis. Maximum sodium gluconate and xylonate were produced at the titer of 132.46g/L and 38.86g/L with the overall yield of 97.12% from glucose and 90.02% from xylose, respectively. The drawbacks of filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger including weak inhibitor tolerance, large pellet formation and no xylose utilization were solved by using the bacterium strain G. oxydans. The obtained sodium gluconate/xylonate product was highly competitive as cement retarder additive to the commercial product from corn feedstock. The techno-economic analysis (TEA) based on the Aspen Plus modeling was performed and the minimum sodium gluconate/xylonate product selling price (MGSP) was calculated as $0.404/kg. This study provided a practical and economic competitive process of lignocellulose utilization for production of value-added biobased chemicals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the effect of high 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2-KLG) on important dehydrogenase, cofactor and transport proteins involved in 2-KLG synthesis. METHODS First, the growth of Gluconobacter oxydans under high 2-KLG was observed. The real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of key sorbitol dehydrogenase gene sldAB, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) biosynthesis gene cluster pqqABCDE, and five genes encoding hypothetic PQQ transport proteins. RESULTS According to results of the growth of G. oxydans under different 2-KLG concentration, 40, 80 and 120 g/L 2-KLG were decided to stimulate strains. Real-time PCR showed that PQQ synthesis genes pqqABCDE were not affected by high 2-KLG, but sorbitol dehydrogenase genes sldAB and part of genes encoding PQQ transport proteins were down-regulated under high 2-KLG stress. CONCLUSION The expression of sorbitol dehydrogenase genes was restrained by high 2-KLG, PQQ transport was probably inhibited, but PQQ synthesis was not affected.

Abstract
This study has addressed the matter of optimization of production of the value added product, dihydroxyacetone, from crude glycerol using immobilized cells of Gluconobacter oxydans. Statistical optimization of the fermentation medium revealed MgSO4·7H2O, (NH4)2SO4 and KH2PO4 as the significant components, in addition to small concentration of yeast extract. As per previous literature, these components augment the activity of glycerol dehydrogenase enzyme in metabolism and provide assimilable nitrogen and sulfur source for cell growth. Yeast extract not only provides essential growth factors, but also accelerates production of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme due to amino acids present. The DHA yield from crude glycerol (20g/L) with optimized medium is 14.08g/L, which is just 12% lower than the yield for pure glycerol .This study has thus established that proper optimization of fermentation medium reduces the adverse effect of impurities in crude glycerol on fermentation process and DHA yield.

Abstract
The present study has investigated kinetic features of bioconversion of biodiesel-derived crude glycerol to dihydroxyacetone with immobilized Gluconobacter oxydans cells using modified Haldane substrate-inhibition model. The results have been compared against free cells and pure glycerol. Relative variations in the kinetic parameters KS, KI, Vmax, n and X reveal that immobilized G. oxydans cells (on PU foam substrate) with crude glycerol as substrate give higher order of inhibition (n) and lower maximum reaction velocities (Vmax). These results are essentially implications of substrate transport restrictions across immobilization matrix, which causes retention of substrate in the matrix and reduction in fractional available substrate (X) for the cells. This causes reduction in both KS (substrate concentration at Vmax/2) and KI (inhibition constant) as compared to free cells. For immobilized cells, substrate concentration (Smax) corresponding to Vmax is practically same for both pure and crude glycerol as substrate.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans is used to produce xylitol from D-arabitol. This study aims to improve xylitol production by increasing the coenzyme regeneration efficiency of the pentose phosphate pathway in G. oxydans. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) were overexpressed in G. oxydans. Real-time PCR and enzyme activity assays revealed that G6PDH/6PGDH activity and coenzyme regeneration efficiency increased in the recombinant G. oxydans strains. Approximately 29.3 g/L xylitol was obtained, with a yield of 73.2%, from 40 g/L d-arabitol in the batch biotransformation with the G. oxydans PZ strain. Moreover, the xylitol productivity (0.62 g/L/h) was 3.26-fold of the wild type strain (0.19 g/L/h). In repetitive batch biotransformation, the G. oxydans PZ cells were used for five cycles without incurring a significant loss in productivity. These results indicate that the recombinant G. oxydans PZ strain is economically feasible for xylitol production in industrial bioconversion.

Abstract
2-Keto-D-gluconic acid (2KGA), a precursor of the important food antioxidant erythorbic acid, can be produced by Gluconobacter oxidans. To genetically engineer G. oxidans for improved 2KGA production, six new expression vectors with increased copy numbers based on pBBR1MCS-5 were constructed via rational mutagenesis. The utility of the mutant vectors was demonstrated by the increased ga2dh mRNA abundance, enzyme activity, and 2KGA production when the ga2dh gene was overexpressed using these vectors. Among the obtained constructs, G. oxidans/pBBR-3510-ga2dh displayed the highest oxidative activity toward gluconic acid (GA). In a batch biotransformation process, the G. oxidans/pBBR-3510-ga2dh strain exhibited 2KGA productivity (0.63 g/g CWW/h) higher than that obtained using strain G. oxidans/pBBR-ga2dh (0.40 g/g CWW/h). When sufficient oxygen was supplied during the biotransformation, up to 480 g/L GA was exhausted in 45 h by the G. oxidans/pBBR-3510-ga2dh strain and approximately 486 g/L 2KGA was produced, generating the productivity of 0.54 g/g CWW/h.

Abstract
Acetic acid bacteria Gluconobacter oxydans subsp. industrius RKM V-1280 were immobilized into a synthetic matrix based on polyvinyl alcohol modified with N-vinylpyrrolidone and used as biocatalysts for the development ofbioanodes for microbial fuel cells. The immobilization method did not significantly affect bacterial substrate specificity. Bioanodes based on immobilized bacteria functioned stably for 7 days. The maximum voltage (fuel cell signal) was reached when 100-130 µM of an electron transport mediator, 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, was added into the anode compartment. The fuel cell signals reached a maximum at a glucose concentration higher than 6 mM. The power output of the laboratory model of a fuel cell based on the developed bioanode reached 7 mW/m2 with the use of fermentation industry wastes as fuel.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans converts glucose to gluconic acid and subsequently to 5-keto-D-gluconic acid (5-KGA), a precursor of industrially important L(+)-tartaric acid. To increase the yield of 5-KGA, fermentation conditions of 5-KGA production was optimized. Under the optimum medium and culture conditions in the shake flask, the highest 5-KGA production reached 19.7 g/L, increased by 43.8% after optimization. In a 5-L bioreactor, the pH was controlled at 5.5 and dissolved oxygen (DO) at 15%, 5-KGA production reached 46.0 g/L, raised at least 1.3 times than in the shake flask. Glucose feeding fermentation process was further developed, and the highest 5-KGA production of 75.5 g/L with 70% of yield was obtained, 32.0% higher than the highest reported value. Therefore, this newly developed fermentation process provided a practical and effective alternative for the commercial production of 5-KGA, and further of L(+)-tartaric acid.

Abstract
Gluconobacter strains are specialized in the incomplete oxidation of monosaccharides. In contrast, growth and product formation from disaccharides is either very low or impossible. A pathway that allows growth on trehalose was rationally designed to broaden the substrate range of Gluconobacter oxydans. Expression vectors containing different signal sequences and the gene encoding alkaline phosphatase, phoA, from Escherichia coli were constructed. The signal peptide that exhibited the strongest periplasmic PhoA activity was used to generate a G. oxydans strain able to utilize the model disaccharide trehalose as a carbon and energy source by expressing the periplasmic trehalase TreA from E. coli. The strain had a doubling time of 3.7h and reached a final optical density of 1.7 when trehalose was used as a growth substrate. In comparison, the wild-type harboring the empty vector and the strain expressing treA without a signal sequence grew slowly to a final OD of only 0.15. The trehalose concentration in treA expressing cultures decreased continuously during the exponential growth phase indicating that the substrate was hydrolyzed to glucose by TreA. In contrast to the wild-type growing on glucose, the treA expression strain mainly formed acetate and 5-ketogluconate as end products rather than gluconate.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans DSM2003 was used to catalyze the oxidation of racemic 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol (PED) for the production of (S)-enantiomer. The oxidative product mandelic acid produced strong inhibition to this reaction and largely reduced the activity of biocatalyst, which was the key problem in the reaction. In order to overcome this bottleneck, an anion exchange resin was selected and introduced as adsorbent for the in situ removal of the inhibitor from the reaction system. This method increased the substrate concentration from 12 to 60 g/L and the yield of (S)-PED by approximately five times from 4.9 g/L, on the premise that the enantiomeric excess (ee) value of (S)-PED remained above 96% and the reaction time was no more than 20 h. Moreover, the final space-time yield was over 1.2g/L/h, which was higher than that reported from previous studies.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans is known to oxidize glucose to gluconic acid (GA), and subsequently, to 2-keto-gluconic acid (2KGA) and 5-keto-gluconic acid (5KGA), while 5KGA can be converted to L-(+)-tartaric acid. In order to increase the production of 5KGA, Gluconobacter oxydans HGI-1 that converts GA to 5KGA exclusively was chosen in this study, and effects of carbon sources (lactose, maltose, sucrose, amylum and glucose) and nitrogen sources (yeast extract, fish meal, corn steep liquor, soybean meal and cotton-seed meal) on 5KGA production were investigated. Results of experiment in 500 mL shake-flask show that the highest yield of 5KGA (98.20 g/L) was obtained using 100 g/L glucose as carbon source. 5KGA reached 100.20 g/L, 109.10 g/L, 99.83 g/L with yeast extract, fish meal and corn steep liquor as nitrogen source respectively, among which the optimal nitrogen source was fish meal. The yield of 5KGA by corn steep liquor is slightly lower than that by yeast extract. For the economic reason, corn steep liquor was selected as nitrogen source and scaled up to 5 L stirred-tank fermentor, and the final concentration of 5KGA reached 93.80 g/L, with its maximum volumetric productivity of 3.48 g/(L x h) and average volumetric productivity of 1.56 g/(L x h). The result obtained in this study showed that carbon and nitrogen sourses for large-scale production of 5KGA by Gluconobacter oxydans HGI-1 were glucose and corn steep liquor, respectively, and the available glucose almost completely (85.93%) into 5KGA.

Abstract
Production of (3S)-acetoin ((3S)-AC), an important platform chemical, is desirable but difficult to perform. An NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase (Gox0644) from Gluconobacter oxydans DSM 2003 was confirmed to have a good ability to reduce diacetyl (DA) to produce (3S)-AC. In this work, the NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase was expressed and purified. Glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis 168 was coupled with the NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase to produce (3S)-AC from DA. Under the optimal conditions, 12.2 g l(-1) (3S)-AC was produced from 14.3 g l(-1) DA in 75 min. Because DA can be biotechnological produced, the two-enzymes coupling system might be a promising alternative for the (3S)-AC production.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans is known to be a suitable candidate for producing xylitol from d-arabitol. In this study, the enzyme responsible for reducing d-xylulose to xylitol was purified from G. oxydans NH-10 and characterized as xylitol dehydrogenase. It has been reported that XDH depends exclusively on NAD(+)/NADH as cofactors with a relatively low activity, which was proposed to be the direct reason for its limiting the overall conversion process. To better produce xylitol, an engineered G. oxydans PXPG was constructed to coexpress the XDH gene and a cofactor regeneration enzyme (glucose dehydrogenase) gene from Bacillus subtilis. Activities for both enzymes were more than twofold higher in the G. oxydans PXPG than in the wild strain. Approximately 12.23 g/L xylitol was obtained from 30 g/L d-arabitol by resting cells of the engineered strain with a conversion yield of 40.8%, whereas only 7.56 g/L xylitol was produced by the wild strain with a yield of 25.2%. These results demonstrated that increasing the XDH activity and the cofactor NADH supply could improve the xylitol productivity notably.

Abstract
Here, we present a novel technique to immobilize magnetic particles onto whole Gluconobacter oxydans in situ via a synthetic adhesive biomimetic material inspired by the protein glues of marine mussels. Our approach involves simple coating of a cell adherent polydopamine film onto magnetic nanoparticles, followed by conjugation of the polydopamine-coated nanoparticles to G. oxydans which resulted in cell aggregation. After optimization, 21.3 mg (wet cell weight) G. oxydans per milligram of nanoparticle was aggregated and separated with a magnet. Importantly, the G. oxydan aggregates showed high specific activity and good reusability. The facile approach offers the potential advantages of low cost, easy cell separation, low diffusion resistance, and high efficiency. Furthermore, the approach is a convenient platform technique for magnetization of cells in situ by direct mixing of nanoparticles with a cell suspension.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans can rapidly and effectively transform glycerol to dihydroxyacetone (DHA) by membrane-bound quinoprotein sorbitol dehydrogenase (mSLDH). Two mutant strains of GDHE Δadh pBBR-PtufBsldAB and GDHE Δadh pBBR-sldAB derived from the GDHE strain were constructed for the enhancement of DHA production. Growth performances of both strains were largely improved after adaptively growing in the medium with glucose as the sole carbon source. The resulting GAT and GAN strains exhibited better catalytic property than the GDHE strain in the presence of a high concentration of glycerol. All strains of GDHE, GAT and GAN cultivated on glucose showed enhanced catalytic capacity than those grown on sorbitol, indicating a favorable prospect of using glucose as carbon source to reduce the cost in industrial production. It was also the first time to reveal that the expression level of the sldAB gene in glucose-growing strains were higher than that of the strains cultivated on sorbitol.

Abstract
(R)-2-Hydroxybutyric acid ((R)-2-HBA) is an important building block for azinothricin family of antitumour antibiotics and biodegradable poly(2-hydroxybutyric acid). However, optically active (R)-2-HBA could not be produced through microbial fermentation or chemical synthesis. Several biocatalytic methods have been reported for the production of (R)-2-HBA. Those processes used expensive and scarce substrates and would not be suitable for practical application. In this work, Gluconobacter oxydans DSM 2003 was confirmed to have the ability to produce (R)-2-HBA from 1,2-butanediol, a non-toxic and inexpensive compound that had a great potential for biotechnological processes. Under the optimal conditions, the biocatalytic process produced (R)-2-HBA at a high concentration (18.5 g l(-1)) and a high enantiomeric excess (99.7%). The biocatalysis process introduced in this study may provide a technically and economically interesting route for production of (R)-2-HBA.

Abstract
3-Hydroxypropionic acid is an important building block to synthesize lots of industrially valuable chemicals. In this study, we firstly investigated the effects of cell, substrate and product concentrations on biosynthesis of 3-hydroxypropionic acid from 1,3-propanediol by Gluconobacter oxydans ZJB09112 in 50-mL shake flask containing 10 mL transformation liquid. To avoid the inhibition of substrate and product, we adopted fed-batch biotransformation and fed-batch biotransformation coupled with in situ product removal in 2-L bubble column reactor containing 1 L transformation liquid. The results show that high concentrations of substrate and product could inhibit the biotransformation by decreasing the initial reaction rate, and the optimal reaction conditions were as follows: cell concentration 6 g/L, pH 5.5. Fed-batch biotransformation in which the substrate concentration was maintained at 15-20 g/L could obtain product concentration of 60.8 g/L after 60 h, which gave a productivity of 1.0 g/(Lh) and a yield of 84.3%. Furthermore, fed-batch biotransformation coupled with in situ product removal could achieve the total product concentration of 76.3 g/L after 50 h, which gave a productivity of 1.5 g/(L x h) and a yield of 83.7%. The results obtained here may be useful for the application of G. oxydans in biocatalysis industry by using its characteristic of incomplete oxidation of alcohols.

Abstract
The genome-wide transcriptional responses of the strictly aerobic α-proteobacterium Gluconobacter oxydans 621H to oxygen limitation, to the absence of the cytochrome bc(1) complex, and to low pH were studied using DNA microarray analyses. Oxygen limitation caused expression changes of 486 genes, representing 20% of the chromosomal genes. Genes with an increased mRNA level included those for terminal oxidases, the cytochrome bc(1) complex, transhydrogenase, two alcohol dehydrogenases, heme biosynthesis, PTS proteins, proteins involved in cyclic diGMP synthesis and degradation, two sigma factors, flagella and chemotaxis proteins, several stress proteins, and a putative exporter protein. The downregulated genes comprised those for respiratory dehydrogenases, enzymes of central metabolism, PQQ biosynthesis, outer membrane receptors, Sec proteins, and proteins involved in transcription and translation. A ΔqrcABC mutant of G. oxydans showed a growth defect during cultivation on mannitol at pH 4 under oxygen saturation. Comparison of the transcriptomes of this mutant versus the wild type under these conditions revealed 51 differentially expressed genes. Interestingly, almost all of the 45 genes with increased expression in the ΔqrcABC mutant at pH 4 were also upregulated in the wild type grown at pH 6 under oxygen limitation. These results support an active role of the cytochrome bc(1) complex in G. oxydans respiration. The transcriptome comparison of G. oxydans wild type at pH 4 versus pH 6 in mannitol medium under oxygen-saturated conditions uncovered only 72 differentially expressed genes. The 35 upregulated genes included those for cytochrome bd oxidase, major polyol dehydrogenase, iron storage and oxidative stress proteins. Among the 37 downregulated genes were some encoding enzymes dealing with carbon dioxide, such as biotin carboxylase, biotin carboxyl carrier protein, and carboanhydrase. These results give first insights into global transcriptional responses of G. oxydans.

Abstract
1,3-Dihydroxyacetone can be produced by biotransformation of glycerol with glycerol dehydrogenase from Gluconobacter oxydans cells. Firstly, improvement the activity of glycerol dehydrogenase was carried out by medium optimization. The optimal medium for cell cultivation was composed of 5.6g/l yeast extract, 4.7 g/l glycerol, 42.1g/l mannitol, 0.5 g/l K(2)HPO(4), 0.5 g/l KH(2)PO(4), 0.1g/l MgSO(4)·7H(2)O, and 2.0 g/l CaCO(3) with the initial pH of 4.9. Secondly, an internal loop airlift bioreactor was applied for DHA production from glycerol by resting cells of G. oxydans ZJB09113. Furthermore, the effects of pH, aeration rate and cell content on DHA production and glycerol feeding strategy were investigated. 156.3 ± 7.8 g/l of maximal DHA concentration with 89.8±2.4% of conversion rate of glycerol to DHA was achieved after 72h of biotransformation using 10g/l resting cells at 30°C, pH 5.0 and 1.5vvm of aeration rate.

Abstract
A novel water-soluble dextran was synthesized from maltodextrin by cell-free extract of Gluconobacter oxydans DSM 2003. The dextran was purified by size exclusion chromatography, and the structure was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. Based on the spectral data, we found that the dextran contained only D-glucose residues. The ratio of nonreducing end glucopyranosyl (Glcp) to 6-linked Glcp to 4,6-linked Glcp was estimated to be 8.62:78.79:12.59 by methylation analysis. This result indicated the existence of a small proportion of α(1,4) branches in α(1,6) glucosyl linear chains. Here, we reported the first time a novel dextran was synthesized by G. oxydans DSM 2003.

Abstract
This study used the Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology to optimize immobilization of Gluconobacter oxydans in Ca-alginate gel for the production of benzaldehyde in a biphasic system. Immobilization parameters, such as Na-alginate concentration, cell load, and bead diameter, were optimized. The mathematical model developed was validated and proven to be statistically adequate and accurate in predicting the response. For both activity and stability responses, the best results were achieved at alginate concentration of 2.55% (w/v), cell load of 49.26 mg/ml, and 2.2 mm bead diameter. Under these conditions, retention activity of 87.6% could be attained for the immobilized cell. In addition, the oxidative activity of immobilized cells was retained at 53.2% compared with that of free cells after 10 repeated batch reactions, while only 15.7% of activity remained in free cells.

Abstract
We reviewed the fermentation for dihydroxyacetone production. Microbial fermentation is better for dihydroxyacetone production as compared to chemical methods. Gluconobacter oxydans was recognized as the most important strain for industrial production of dihydroxyacetone. The dihydroxyacetone yield is associated with many factors such as substrate, product, oxygen and biomass concentration. Repeated fed-batch fermentation and immobilization fermentation were recognized as the most potential process in various fermentation mode. Construction of recombinant microorganism and optimization of process are future directions of dihydroxyacetone production.

Abstract
The genus Gluconobacter comprises some of the most frequently used microorganisms when it comes to biotechnological applications. Not only has it been involved in "historical" production processes, such as vinegar production, but in the last decades many bioconversion routes for special and rare sugars involving Gluconobacter have been developed. Among the most recent are the biotransformations involved in the production of L-ribose and miglitol, both very promising pharmaceutical lead molecules. Most of these processes make use of Gluconobacter's membrane-bound polyol dehydrogenases. However, recently other enzymes have also caught the eye of industrial biotechnology. Among them are dextran dextrinase, capable of transglucosylating substrate molecules, and intracellular NAD-dependent polyol dehydrogenases, of interest for co-enzyme regeneration. As such, Gluconobacter is an important industrial microbial strain, but it also finds use in other fields of biotechnology, such as biosensor-technology. This review aims to give an overview of the myriad of applications for Gluconobacter, with a special focus on some recent developments.

Abstract
The genus Gluconobacter is well known for its rapid and incomplete oxidation of a wide range of substrates. Therefore, Gluconobacter oxydans especially is used for several biotechnological applications, e.g., the efficient oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone (DHA). For this reaction, G. oxydans is equipped with a membrane-bound glycerol dehydrogenase that is also described to oxidize sorbitol, gluconate, and arabitol. Here, we demonstrated the impact of sldAB overexpression on glycerol oxidation: Beside a beneficial effect on the transcript level of the sldB gene, the growth on glycerol as a carbon source was significantly improved in the overexpression strains (OD 2.8 to 2.9) compared to the control strains (OD 2.8 to 2.9). Furthermore, the DHA formation rate, as well as the final DHA concentration, was affected so that up to 350 mM of DHA was accumulated by the overexpression strains when 550 mM glycerol was supplied (control strain: 200 to 280 mM DHA). Finally, we investigated the effect on sldAB overexpression on the G. oxydans transcriptome and identified two genes involved in glycerol metabolism, as well as a regulator of the LysR family.

Abstract
The presence of acetic acid bacteria populations on grape surfaces from several Chilean valleys is reported. The bacteria were analysed at both the species and the strain level by molecular methods such as RFLP-PCR 16S rRNA gene, RFLP-PCR ITS 16S-23S rRNA gene regions and Arbitrary Primed (AP) PCR. Our results show that there are limited numbers of species of acetic acid bacteria in the grapes and that there is a need for an enrichment medium before plating to recover the individual colonies. In the Northernmost region analysed, the major species recovered was a non-acetic acid bacteria, Stenotrophomonas maltophila. Following the North-South axis of Chilean valleys, the observed distribution of acetic acid bacteria was zonified: Acetobacter cerevisiae was only present in the North and Gluconobacter oxydans in the South. Both species were recovered together in only one location. The influence of the grape cultivar was negligible. Variability in strains was found to be high (more than 40%) for both Acetobacteraceae species.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans could be immobilized as a biocatalyst for the conversion of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone. To reduce the production cost, the cells were produced from agricultural byproducts. Corn meal hydrolysate and corn steep liquor were employed to replace of sorbitol and yeast extract as medium for G. oxydans cell production. The optimal medium contained 80 g/L reducing sugar, 25 g/L corn steep liquor, and 10 g/L glycerol. The cell mass was about 4.22 g/L and the glycerol dehydrogenase activity was about 5.23 U/mL. For comparison, the cell mass was about 4.0 g/L and the glycerol dehydrogenase activity was about 5.35 U/mL cultured in sorbitol and yeast extract medium. These studies shown the corn meal hydrolysate and corn steep liquor medium was similar in performance to a nutrient-rich medium, but the cost of production was only 15% of that cultured in sorbitol and yeast extract medium. It was an economical process for the production of G. oxydans cells as biocatalyst for the conversion of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone in industry.

Abstract
A bacterium isolated from patulin-contaminated apples was capable of degrading patulin to a less-toxic compound, ascladiol. The bacterium was identified as Gluconobacter oxydans by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, whereas ascladiol was identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance. Degradation of up to 96% of patulin was observed in apple juices containing up to 800 microg/ml of patulin and incubated with G. oxydans.

Abstract
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is of great interest in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry; therefore, the discovery of suitable biocatalysts for the efficient production of it is very necessary. In the experiment, Gluconobacter oxydans was immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Various parameters of the immobilized cells were investigated. The results have shown that the optimal conversion conditions by the immobilized cells were at 30 degrees C and pH 6.0. The immobilized cells remained very active over the period of 14 days for storage and only lost 10% of its original activity. Repeated use of immobilized cells for conversion of glycerol to DHA was carried out in a 1.5 L stirred tank reactor, the average conversion rate was about 86%. Despite the high shear stress, bead shape was not affected, even after five consecutive conversion cycles. The regenerated biocatalyst could recover 90% of its initial activity.

Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans DSM 2343 (ATCC 621H)catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid and subsequently to 5-keto-D-gluconic acid (5-KGA), a precursor of the industrially important L-(+)-tartaric acid. To further increase 5-KGA production in G. oxydans, the mutant strain MF1 was used. In this strain the membrane-bound gluconate-2-dehydrogenase activity, responsible for formation of the undesired by-product 2-keto-D-gluconic acid, is disrupted. Therefore, high amounts of 5-KGA accumulate in the culture medium. G. oxydans MF1 was equipped with plasmids allowing the overexpression of the membrane-bound enzymes involved in 5-KGA formation. Overexpression was confirmed on the transcript and enzymatic level. Furthermore, the resulting strains overproducing the membrane-bound glucose dehydrogenase showed an increased gluconic acid formation, whereas the overproduction of gluconate-5-dehydrogenase resulted in an increase in 5-KGA of up to 230 mM. Therefore, these newly developed recombinant strains provide a basis for further improving the biotransformation process for 5-KGA production.

Abstract
We developed a novel <50-microm thick nano-porous bi-layer latex coating for preserving Gluconobacter oxydans, a strict aerobe, as a whole cell biocatalyst. G. oxydans was entrapped in an acrylate/vinyl acetate co-polymer matrix (T (g) approximately 10 degrees C) and cast into 12.7-mm diameter patch coatings (cellcoat) containing approximately 10(9) CFU covered by a nano-porous topcoat. The oxidation of D-sorbitol to L-sorbose was used to investigate the coating catalytic properties. Intrinsic kinetics was studied in microbioreactors using a pH 6.0 D-sorbitol, phosphate, pyruvate (SPP) non-growth medium at 30 degrees C, and the Michaelis-Menten constants determined. By using a diffusion cell, cellcoat and topcoat diffusivities, optimized by arresting polymer particle coalescence by glycerol and/or sucrose addition, were determined. Cryo-FESEM images revealed a two-layer structure with G. oxydans surrounded by <40-nm pores. Viable cell density, cell leakage, and oxidation kinetics in SPP medium for >150 h were investigated. Even though the coatings were optimized for permeability, approximately 50% of G. oxydans viability was lost during cellcoat drying and further reduction was observed as the topcoat was added. High reaction rates per unit volume of coating (80-100 g/L x h) were observed which agreed with predictions of a diffusion-reaction model using parameters estimated by independent experiments. Cellcoat effectiveness factors of 0.22-0.49 were observed which are 20-fold greater than any previously reported for this G. oxydans oxidation. These nano-structured coatings and the possibility of improving their ability to preserve G. oxydans viability may be useful for engineering highly reactive adhesive coatings for multi-phase micro-channel and membrane bioreactors to dramatically increase the intensity of whole-cell oxidations.

Abstract
In Gluconobacter oxydans, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) serves as the cofactor for various membrane-bound dehydrogenases that oxidize sugars and alcohols in the periplasm. Proteins for the biosynthesis of PQQ are encoded by the pqqABCDE gene cluster. Our reverse transcription-PCR and promoter analysis data indicated that the pqqA promoter represents the only promoter within the pqqABCDE cluster of G. oxydans 621H. PQQ overproduction in G. oxydans was achieved by transformation with the plasmid-carried pqqA gene or the complete pqqABCDE cluster. A G. oxydans mutant unable to produce PQQ was obtained by site-directed disruption of the pqqA gene. In contrast to the wild-type strain, the pqqA mutant did not grow with d-mannitol, d-glucose, or glycerol as the sole energy source, showing that in G. oxydans 621H, PQQ is essential for growth with these substrates. Growth of the pqqA mutant, however, was found with d-gluconate as the energy source. The growth behavior of the pqqA mutant correlated with the presence or absence of the respective PQQ-dependent membrane-bound dehydrogenase activities, demonstrating the vital role of these enzymes in G. oxydans metabolism. A different PQQ-deficient mutant was generated by Tn5 transposon mutagenesis. This mutant showed a defect in a gene with high homology to the Escherichia coli tldD gene, which encodes a peptidase. Our results indicate that the tldD gene in G. oxydans 621H is involved in PQQ biosynthesis, possibly with a similar function to that of the pqqF genes found in other PQQ-synthesizing bacteria.
