Project description:Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most commonly used plastics, utilized in synthetic fibers, water containers, and food packaging. From the 1990s onwards, the demand for PET, and therefore its production, increased exponentially. This increased usage of PET has resulted in a staggering accumulation of undegraded plastic waste. Nearly 80% of the 6300 million tons of plastic waste that had been generated as of 2015 were accumulated in landfills or the natural environment. Moreover, the production of PET relies heavily on non‐renewable fossil fuels, exacerbating environmental concerns over its widespread use. In alignment with principles of environmental sustainability, the biotechnological upcycling of PET has recently emerged as a compelling solution. Since the discovery of PETase, a hydrolase capable of depolymerizing this polyester, enzymatic plastic breakdown is increasingly considered as a promising solution for managing PET waste. This enzyme and its improved derivatives, such as Fast‐PETase, enable the breakdown of PET into bis(2‐41 hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) and mono(2‐hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET). Subsequently, the enzyme MHETase is responsible for further degradation of MHET into ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. The metabolic capability of microorganisms to utilize these monomers of PET for growth has been explored in various biotechnological applications, especially in the context of bioremediation and bioconversion processes aimed at transforming plastic waste into useful products using genetically engineered bacteria.

Project description:Lignocellulose, the structural component of plant cells, is a major agricultural by-product and the most abundant terrestrial source of biopolymers on Earth. The complex and insoluble nature of lignocellulose limits its conversion into value-added commodities and, currently, efficient transformation requires expensive pre-treatments and high loadings of enzymes. Here we report on lignocellulolytic enzyme discovery from Parascedosporium putredinis NO1 during its deconstruction of wheat straw probing both the cultural supernatant and selecting for proteins bound to insoluble component of the growth culture.

Project description:Convergent microbial biocatalysis has emerged as a promising approach for the conversion of lignin side-streams into value-added chemicals in recent decades. However, the current knowledge of metabolic pathways directing the bioconversion of lignin-related aromatics is still limited to a few microbial species and unavailable for some of these compounds. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the genes involved in the bioconversion of aromatic compounds in Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri 306 (X. citri 306), a bacterium belonging to a compelling yet untapped genus for studies on lignin-related aromatics metabolism. For this purpose, we used an integrative approach including genome data mining, RNA-seq, enzymology and gene knockout studies. The RNA-seq analysis revealed a total of 278 to 1464 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the aromatic-containing conditions compared to the control XVM2m-glucose, evidencing the importance of these compounds in modulating various physiological processes of X. citri 306 beyond the pathways related to their metabolism. Moreover, this work revealed the operon molRKAB, which plays a role in the first catabolic steps of the three main monolignols (p-coumaryl, coniferyl and sinapyl alcohols), besides showing all the enzymatic steps funneling them up to the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Additionally, the study uncovered aryl aldehyde reductases and efflux strategies that likely function to protect the pathogen from aromatics toxicity. Together, these findings enhance the current understanding of Xanthomonas metabolism and transcriptional responses to lignin-related aromatic compounds, shedding light on the diverse metabolic pathways available to enable the engineering of microbial chassis dedicated to lignin valorization.

The goals of the study were to isolate a bacterial strain capable of breaking down PE, identify the key enzymes responsible for the degradation process, and understand the metabolic pathways involved. By investigating these aspects, researchers sought to gain critical insights that could be used to optimize plastic degradation conditions and inform the development of artificial microbial communities for effective bioremediation strategies. This research has significant relevance, as it addresses the pressing need for innovative and sustainable approaches to tackle the ever-growing issue of plastic waste and its impact on the environment.
