Improved glycerol utilization by a triacylglycerol-producing Rhodococcus opacus strain for renewable fuels
BACKGROUND Glycerol generated during renewable fuel production processes is potentially an attractive substrate for the production of value-added materials by fermentation. An engineered strain MITXM-61 of the oleaginous bacterium Rhodococcus opacus produces large amounts of intracellular triacylglycerols (TAGs) for lipid-based biofuels on high concentrations of glucose and xylose. However, on ...
متن کاملA Review on The Bioconversion of Lignin to Microbial Lipid with Oleaginous Rhodococcus opacus
Rhodococcus opacus produces intracellular lipids from the biodegradation of lignocellulosic biomass. These lipids can be used to produce biofuels that could potentially replace petroleum-derived chemicals. Current studies are focusing on deconstructing lignin through efficient and cost-effective pretreatment methods and improving microbial lipid titers. R. opacus can reach high levels of oleagi...
متن کاملCharacterization of the naphthalene-degrading bacterium, Rhodococcus opacus M213.
Bacterial strain M213 was isolated from a fuel oil-contaminated soil in Idaho, USA, by growth on naphthalene as a sole source of carbon, and was identified as Rhodococcus opacus M213 by 16S rDNA sequence analysis and growth on substrates characteristic of this species. M213 was screened for growth on a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons, and growth was observed only on simple 1 and 2 ring compoun...
متن کاملGenes encoding the NAD-reducing hydrogenase of Rhodococcus opacus MR11.
The dissociation of the soluble NAD-reducing hydrogenase of Rhodococcus opacus MR11 into two dimeric proteins with different catalytic activities and cofactor composition is unique among the NAD-reducing hydrogenases studied so far. The genes of the soluble hydrogenase were localized on a 7.4 kbp Asnl fragment of the linear plasmid pHG201 via heterologous hybridization. Analysis of the nucleoti...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of benzene-tolerant Rhodococcus opacus strains.
Twenty-two benzene-utilizing bacteria were isolated from soil samples. Among them, three isolates were highly tolerant to benzene. They grew on benzene when liquid benzene was added to the basal salt medium at 10--90% (v/v). Taxonomical analysis identified the benzene-tolerant isolates as Rhodococcus opacus. One of the benzene-tolerant isolates, designated B-4, could utilize many aromatic and a...
