Bioconversion of lignite humic acid by white-rot fungi and characterization of products.

ABSTRACT: Lignite humic acids (LHAs) were sequentially separated from lignite with aqueous NaOH and HCl and biotreated by an isolated fungus WF8. The liquid product (LP), residues (RS) and LHAs were analyzed using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). Three main enzymes in WF8 (i.e., lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase and laccase) were also measured and analyzed with and without LHAs. The results show that LHAs can induce the ligninolytic enzymes. The oxidation and hydrogenation reactions proceeded to some extent, aromaticity in LHAs and carboxyl in LP decreased, and LHAs were converted into simpler LP via biochemical reactions by WF8.

Process Condition Optimization and Structural Feature Analysis of Humic Acid Extraction from Weathered Lignite.

Project description:In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was adopted to investigate the optimization of process conditions for extracting humic acid (HA) from coal, aiming to enhance the yield of humic acid. Additionally, UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, TG-DTG, CP/MAS13CNMR, XPS, and molecular fluorescence were utilized to examine the properties of HAs. The extraction time significantly influenced the yield from Lishi weathered lignite, while the liquid-solid ratio had a significant impact on the yield from Wuhai weathered lignite. The interactive effect between factors did not have a significant effect on the yield. The optimal extraction conditions for Lishi humic acid (LSHA) were determined to be an extraction time of 4.4 h, NaOH concentration of 0.30 mol/L, and liquid-solid ratio of 21 mL/g, while those for Wuhai humic acid (WHHA) were 3.1 h, 0.21 mol/L, and 12 mL/g, respectively. Under these optimal conditions, the true yield values closely matched the predicted value obtained from the model optimization. Comparative analysis of the HAs revealed similarities in their chemical properties, including the degree of aromaticity, molecular weight, and distribution of functional groups. The aromaticity of WHHA was higher compared to that of LSHA. The higher hydrophilic-hydrophobic index of LSHA contributed to its relatively high biological activity compared to that of WHHA. Both humic acids belong to terrestrial humic acids. The results of the study provide a reference for further application of humic acid.

Intracellular pathways for lignin catabolism in white-rot fungi

Project description:Lignin is a biopolymer found in plant cell walls that accounts for 30% of the organic carbon in the biosphere. White-rot fungi (WRF) are considered the most efficient organisms at degrading lignin in Nature. While lignin depolymerization by WRF has been exhaustively studied, the possibility that WRF are able to utilize lignin as a carbon source is still a matter of controversy. Here we employ 13C-labeling and systems biology approaches to demonstrate that two WRF, Trametes versicolor and Gelatoporia subvermispora, funnel lignin-derived aromatic compounds into central carbon metabolism via intracellular catabolic pathways. These results provide insights into global carbon cycling in soil ecosystems, and furthermore establishes a foundation for employing WRF in simultaneous lignin depolymerization and bioconversion to bioproducts – a key step towards enabling a sustainable bioeconomy.

Multi-Enzymatic Synthesis of Lactobionic Acid Using Wood-Degrading Enzymes Produced by White Rot Fungi.

Project description:Enzymes produced by white rot fungi are involved in the synthesis of secondary metabolites with valuable biotechnological properties. One of these metabolites is lactobionic acid (LBA). The aim of this study was to characterize a novel enzyme system consisting of a cellobiose dehydrogenase from Phlebia lindtneri (PlCDH), a laccase from Cerrena unicolor (CuLAC), a redox mediator (ABTS or DCPIP), and lactose as a substrate. We used quantitative (HPLC) and qualitative methods (TLC, FTIR) to characterise the obtained LBA. The free radical scavenging effect of the synthesised LBA was assessed with the DPPH method. Bactericidal properties were tested against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. We obtained LBA in all the systems tested; however, the study showed that the temperature of 50 °C with the addition of ABTS was the most advantageous condition for the synthesis of lactobionic acid. A mixture with 13 mM LBA synthesised at 50 °C with DCPIP showed the best antioxidant properties (40% higher compared with the commercial reagent). Furthermore, LBA had an inhibitory effect on all the bacteria tested, but the effect was better against Gram-negative bacteria with growth inhibition no lower than 70%. Summarizing the obtained data, lactobionic acid derived in a multienzymatic system is a compound with great biotechnological potential.

Metabolic characterization of two white-rot fungi in diverse cultivation environments reveals biotechnologically relevant biosynthetic pathways

Project description:White-rot fungi stand out as highly efficient organisms for the mineralization of biopolymers, such as lignin and polysaccharides, into CO2 and H2O. Despite their significant potential for biotechnological applications, the intracellular metabolism of WRF remains largely overlooked. Building on recent findings regarding the utilization of lignin-related aromatic compounds as carbon sources by WRF, our objective was to gain further insights into these catabolic processes. For this purpose, two WRF, Trametes versicolor and Gelatoporia subvermispora were cultivated in different environments – agitation and static incubation modes and variations in the level of antioxidants – during the conversion of a lignin-related aromatic compound and cellobiose. To comprehensively assess their metabolic responses, we employed transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and microscopy analyses. The results underscore that both incubation mode and the presence of antioxidants impact sugars and aromatic catabolism, as well as lipid composition of the fungal mycelia. In addition, these analyses reveal biosynthetic pathways for the production of extracellular fatty acids and phenylpropanoids by these WRF, both products with relevance in biotechnological applications. Overall, we demonstrate that cultivation conditions play a crucial role in shaping bioprocesses that involve WRF and provide additional insights into carbon flux in nature.

White Rot Fungi Produce Novel Tire Wear Compound Metabolites and Reveal Underappreciated Amino Acid Conjugation Pathways.

Project description:There is increasing concern about tire wear compounds (TWCs) in surface water and stormwater as evidence grows on their toxicity and widespread detection in the environment. Because TWCs are prevalent in stormwater, there is a need to understand fate and treatment options including biotransformation in green infrastructure (e.g., bioretention). Particularly, fungal biotransformation is not well-studied in a stormwater context despite the known ability of certain fungi to remove recalcitrant contaminants. Here, we report the first study on fungal biotransformation of the TWCs acetanilide and hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM). We found that the model white rot fungus, Trametes versicolor, removed 81.9% and 69.6% of acetanilide and HMMM, respectively, with no significant sorption to biomass. The bicyclic amine 1,3-diphenylguanidine was not removed. Additionally, we identified novel TWC metabolites using semi-untargeted metabolomics via high-resolution mass spectrometry. Key metabolites include multiple isomers of HMMM biotransformation products, melamine as a possible "dead-end" product of HMMM (verified with an authentic standard), and a glutamine-conjugated product of acetanilide. These metabolites have implications for environmental toxicity and treatment. Our discovery of the first fungal glutamine-conjugated product highlights the need to investigate amino acid conjugation as an important pathway in biotransformation of contaminants, with implications in other fields including natural products discovery.

Microalgae Harvesting after Tertiary Wastewater Treatment with White-Rot Fungi.

Project description:Tertiary wastewater treatment with microalgae incorporates environmental sustainability with future technologies and high exploitation costs. Despite the apparent ecological benefits of microalgae-assisted wastewater treatment/biomass-based resource production, technological improvements are still essential to compete with other technologies. Bio-flocculation instead of mechanical harvesting has been demonstrated as an alternative cost-effective approach. So far, mostly filamentous fungi of genus Aspergillus have been used for this purpose. Within this study, we demonstrate a novel approach of using white-rot fungi, with especially high potential of algae-Irpex lacteus complex that demonstrates efficiency with various microalgae species at a broad range of temperatures (5-20 °C) and various pH levels. Harvesting of microalgae from primary and secondary wastewater resulted in 73-93% removal efficiencies within the first 24 h and up to 95% after 48 h. The apparent reuse potential of the algae-I. lacteus pellets further complements the reduced operating costs and environmental sustainability of bio-flocculation technology.

The GSTome Reflects the Chemical Environment of White-Rot Fungi.

Project description:White-rot fungi possess the unique ability to degrade and mineralize all the different components of wood. In other respects, wood durability, among other factors, is due to the presence of extractives that are potential antimicrobial molecules. To cope with these molecules, wood decay fungi have developed a complex detoxification network including glutathione transferases (GST). The interactions between GSTs from two white-rot fungi, Trametes versicolor and Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and an environmental library of wood extracts have been studied. The results demonstrate that the specificity of these interactions is closely related to the chemical composition of the extracts in accordance with the tree species and their localization inside the wood (sapwood vs heartwood vs knotwood). These data suggest that the fungal GSTome could reflect the chemical environment encountered by these fungi during wood degradation and could be a way to study their adaptation to their way of life.

Phorbol ester degradation in Jatropha seedcake using white rot fungi.

Project description:White rot fungi are well known for their ability to degrade a wide range of xenobiotics due to their enzymatic systems. Therefore, the present investigation was aimed at screening ten different white rot fungi for degradation of phorbol esters from Jatropha seedcake (JSC). The JSC was fermented with pure cultures of white rot fungi for 20 days under solid state condition. All the white rot fungi tested exhibited degradation of phorbol ester during fermentation of JSC without adversely influencing the nutritional properties of the seedcake. Ganoderma lucidum and Trametes zonata were found to degrade phorbol ester in JSC to undetectable levels. This study demonstrates the potential of white rot fungi for degradation of phorbol esters, a major anti-nutritional factor, in JSC preventing its utilization as cattle feed.
