Model compound studies

The influence of other hemicellulosic sugars (arabinose, galactose, mannose, and glucose), oxygen limitation, and initial xylose concentration on the fermentation of xylose to xylitol was in vestigated using experimental design methodology. Oxygen limitation and initial xylose concentration had strong influences on xylitol production by Candida tropicalis ATCC 96745. Under semiaerobic conditions, xylitol yield was highest (0.62 g/g), whereas under aerobic conditions volumetric productivity was highest (0.90g/[L·h]). In the presence of glucose, xylose utilization was strongly repressed and sequential sugar utilization was observed. Ethanol produced from the glucose caused a 50% reduction in xylitol yield when the ethanol con centration exceeded 30 g/L. When complex synthetic hemicellulosic sugars were fermented, glucose was initially consumed followed by a simultaneous uptake of the other sugars. The highest xylitol yield (0.84 g/g) and volumetric productivity (0.49 g/[L·h]) were obtained for substrates containing high arabinose and low glucose and mannose contents.     

Biotechnological Production of Xylitol: Enhancement of Monosaccharide Production by Post-Hydrolysis of Dilute Acid Sugarcane Hydrolysate

Dilute-acid hydrolysis pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse resulted in release of 48% (18.4 g/L) of the xylan in the hemicellulose fraction into the hydrolysate as monomeric xylose. In order to enhance the recuperation of this monomer, a post-hydrolysis stage consisted of thermal treatment was carried out. This treatment resulted in an increase in xylose release of 62% (23.5 g/L) of the hemicellulose fraction. Original and post-hydrolysates were concentrated to the same levels of monomeric xylose in the fermentor feed. During the fermentation process, cellular growth was observed to be higher in the post-hydrolysate (3.5 g/L, Y _x/s?=?0.075 g cells/g xylose) than in the original hydrolysate (2.9 g/L, Y _x/s?=?0.068 g cells/g xylose). The post-treated hydrolysate required less concentration of sugars resulting in a lower concentration of fermentation inhibitors, which were formed primarily in the dilute acid hydrolysis step. Post-hydrolysis step led to a high xylose–xylitol conversion efficiency of 76% (0.7 g xylitol/g xylose) and volumetric productivity of 0.68 g xylitol/L h when compared to 71% (0.65 g xylitol/g xylose and productivity of 0.61 g xylitol/L h) for the original hemicellulosic hydrolysate.     

Factors that affect the biosynthesis of xylitol by xylose-fermenting yeasts

Xylitol is a sweetener with important technological properties like anticariogenicity, low caloric value, and negative dissolution heat. Because it can be used successfully in food formulations and pharmaceutical industries, its production is in great demand. Xylitol can be obtained by microbiological process, since many yeasts and filamentous fungi synthesize the xylose reductase enzyme, which catalyses the xylose reduction into xylitol as the first step in the xylose metabolism. The xylitol production by biotechnological means has several economic advantages in comparison with the conventional process based on the chemical reduction of xylose. The efficiency and the productivity of this fermentation chiefly depends upon the microorganism and the process conditions employed. In this mini-review, the most significant upstream parameters on xylitol production by biotechnological process are described.

Influence of inhibitory compounds and minor sugars on xylitol production by Debaryomyces hansenii

To obtain in-depth information on the overall metabolic behavior of the new good xylitol producer Debaryomyces hansenii UFV-170, batch bioconversions were carried out using semisynthetic media with compositions simulating those of typical acidic hemicellulose hydrolysates of sugarcane bagasse. For this purpose, we used media containing glucose (4.3-6.5 g/L), xylose (60.1-92.1 g/L), or arabinose (5.9-9.2 g/L), or binary or ternary mixtures of them in either the presence or absence of typical inhibitors of acidic hydrolysates, such as furfural (1.0-5.0 g/L), hydroxymethylfurfural (0.01- 0.30 g/L), acetic acid (0.5-3.0 g/L), and vanillin (0.5-3.0 g/L). D. hansenii exhibited a good tolerance to high sugar concentrations as well as to the presence of inhibiting compounds in the fermentation media. It was able to produce xylitol only from xylose, arabitol from arabinose, and no glucitol from glucose. Arabinose metabolization was incomplete, while ethanol was mainly produced from glucose and, to a lesser less extent, from xylose and arabinose. The results suggest potential application of this strain in xyloseto- xylitol bioconversion from complex xylose media from lignocellulosic materials.     

Xylose reductase production by candida guilliermondii

The effect of pH, time of fermentation, and xylose and glucose concentration on xylitol production, cell growth, xylose reductase (XR), and xylitol dehydrogenase (XD) activities ofCandida guilliermondii FTI 20037 were determined. For attaining XR and XD activities of 129-2190 U/mg of protein and 24-917 U/mg of protein, respectively, the cited parameters could vary as follows: initial pH: 3.0-5.0; xylose: 15-60 g/L; glucose: 0-5 g/L; and fermentation time: 12-24 h. Moreover, the high XR and XD activities occurred when the xylitol production by the yeast was less than 19.0 g/L.     

Fermentation Kinetics for Xylitol Production by a Pichia stipitis d-Xylulokinase Mutant Previously Grown in Spent Sulfite Liquor

Spent sulfite pulping liquor (SSL) contains lignin, which is present as lignosulfonate, and hemicelluloses that are present as hydrolyzed carbohydrates. To reduce the biological oxygen demand of SSL associated with dissolved sugars, we studied the capacity of Pichia stipitis FPL-YS30 (xyl3Δ) to convert these sugars into useful products. FPL-YS30 produces a negligible amount of ethanol while converting xylose into xylitol. This work describes the xylose fermentation kinetics of yeast strain P.stipitis FPL-YS30. Yeast was grown in rich medium supplemented with different carbon sources: glucose, xylose, or ammonia-base SSL. The SSL and glucose-acclimatized cells showed similar maximum specific growth rates (0.146 h⁻¹). The highest xylose consumption at the beginning of the fermentation process occurred using cells precultivated in xylose, which showed relatively high specific activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49). However, the maximum specific rates of xylose consumption (0.19 g_xylose/g_cel h) and xylitol production (0.059 g_xylitol/g_cel h) were obtained with cells acclimatized in glucose, in which the ratio between xylose reductase (EC 1.1.1.21) and xylitol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.9) was kept at higher level (0.82). In this case, xylitol production (31.6 g/l) was 19 and 8% higher than in SSL and xylose-acclimatized cells, respectively. Maximum glycerol (6.26 g/l) and arabitol (0.206 g/l) production were obtained using SSL and xylose-acclimatized cells, respectively. The medium composition used for the yeast precultivation directly reflected their xylose fermentation performance. The SSL could be used as a carbon source for cell production. However, the inoculum condition to obtain a high cell concentration in SSL needs to be optimized. Prepared for 29th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals.     

Aspects of xylitol formation in sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate by Candida guillie rmondii in the presence of tetracycline

The biocon version of xylose intoxylitol using pH values of 4.0, 5.5 and 7.0 and tetracycline concentrations of 20 and 40 mg/L was carried out to verify the influence of these parameters on Candida guilliermondii metabolism for xylitol production. Experiments were performed with sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosi chydrolysate (48.5 g/L of xylose) in 125-mL Erlenmeyer flasks, at 30°C, 200 rpm, during 88 h. The results demostrated that the bioconversion of xylose into xylitol was significantly influenced by the pH. On the other hand, in media containing 20 or 40 mg/L of tetracycline, this bioconversion was not significantly affected. The best results of xylitol production were obtained in hemicellulosic hydrolysate without tetracycline, at pH 7.0 In these conditions, the maxim um specific growth rate was 0.014/h and the yield factor of xylitol and volumetric productivity were 0.85g/g and 0.70g/L/h respectively. Xylitol and cell growth occureed simultaneously.
