High Ethanol Titers from Cellulose using Metabolically Engineered Thermophilic, Anaerobic Microbes Running Title: High Titer Cellulosic Ethanol from Thermophiles
This work describes novel genetic tools for use in Clostridium thermocellum that allow creation of unmarked mutations while using a replicating plasmid. The strategy employed counter selections developed from the native C. thermocellum hpt gene and the Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum tdk gene, and was used to delete the genes for both lactate dehydrogenase (Ldh) and phosphotransacetylase ...
متن کاملBioprospecting thermophiles for cellulase production: a review
Most of the potential bioprospecting is currently related to the study of the extremophiles and their potential use in industrial processes. Recently microbial cellulases find applications in various industries and constitute a major group of industrial enzymes. Considerable amount of work has been done on microbial cellulases, especially with resurgence of interest in biomass ethanol productio...
متن کاملDe novo production of resveratrol from glucose or ethanol by engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant compound, used as food supplement and cosmetic ingredient. Microbial production of resveratrol has until now been achieved by supplementation of expensive substrates, p-coumaric acid or aromatic amino acids. Here we engineered the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce resveratrol directly from glucose or ethanol via tyrosine intermediate. First we introd...
متن کاملCellulosic ethanol production via consolidated bioprocessing at 75 °C by engineered Caldicellulosiruptor bescii
BACKGROUND The C. bescii genome does not encode an acetaldehyde/alcohol dehydrogenase or an acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and no ethanol production is detected in this strain. The recent introduction of an NADH-dependent AdhE from C. thermocellum (Fig. 1a) in an ldh mutant of this strain resulted in production of ethanol from un-pretreated switchgrass, but the thermolability of the C. thermocellum...
متن کاملImprovement of ethanol production by ethanol-tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae UVNR56
Ethanol tolerance is one of the important characteristics of ethanol-producing yeast. This study focused on the improvement of ethanol tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NR1 for enhancing ethanol production by random UV-C mutagenesis. One ethanol-tolerant mutant, UVNR56, displayed a significantly improved ethanol tolerance in the presence of 15% (v/v) ethanol and showed a considerably higher...
