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 کاملComparative transcriptomics elucidates adaptive phenol tolerance and utilization in lipid-accumulating Rhodococcus opacus PD630.
Lignin-derived (e.g. phenolic) compounds can compromise the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals due to their toxicity and recalcitrance. The lipid-accumulating bacterium Rhodococcus opacus PD630 has recently emerged as a promising microbial host for lignocellulose conversion to value-added products due to its natural ability to tolerate and utilize phenolics. To gain...
متن کاملAnaerobic degradation of halogenated phenols by sulfate-reducing consortia.
Sulfidogenic consortia enriched from an estuarine sediment were maintained on either 2-, 3-, or 4-chlorophenol as the only source of carbon and energy for over 5 years. The enrichment culture on 4-chlorophenol was the most active and this consortium was selected for further characterization. Utilization of chlorophenol resulted in sulfate depletion corresponding to the values expected for compl...
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...
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...
