Identifying and creating pathways to improve biological lignin valorization

Journal Article Liu, Zhi-Hua ; Le, Rosemary K. ; Kosa, Matyas ; ... - Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews

Biological lignin valorization to fuels and value-added chemicals enables sustainable and economic biorefineries. Even though significant progress has been made, several major challenges arose due to high recalcitrance and heterogeneity of lignin, which needs to be addressed to improve lignin processing. This work demonstrates an overview of biological lignin conversion and its regulation from a metabolic engineering and systems biology viewpoint. Biological lignin valorization includes three stages: lignin depolymerization, aromatics degradation, and target product biosynthesis. Ligninolytic microorganisms have an extensive enzymatic toolbox to break down the lignin and convert heterogeneous lignin derivatives to central intermediates, such as protocatechuate or catechol,more »« less

Toward engineering E. coli with an autoregulatory system for lignin valorization

Journal Article Wu, Weihua ; Liu, Fang ; Singh, Seema - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Efficient lignin valorization could add more than 10-fold the value gained from burning it for energy and is critical for economic viability of future biorefineries. However, lignin-derived aromatics from biomass pretreatment are known to be potent fermentation inhibitors in microbial production of fuels and other value-added chemicals. In addition, isopropyl-β- d -1-thiogalactopyranoside and other inducers are routinely added into fermentation broth to induce the expression of pathway enzymes, which further adds to the overall process cost. An autoregulatory system that can diminish the aromatics’ toxicity as well as be substrate-inducible can be the key for successful integration of lignin valorizationmore »« less

Lignin Valorization: Emerging Approaches

Book Beckham, Gregg T

Lignin, an aromatic biopolymer found in plant cell walls, is a key component of lignocellulosic biomass and generally utilized for heat and power. However, lignin's chemical composition makes it an attractive source for biological and catalytic conversion to fuels and chemicals. Bringing together experts from biology, catalysis, engineering, analytical chemistry, and techno-economic/life-cycle analysis, Lignin Valorization presents a comprehensive, interdisciplinary picture of how lignocellulosic biorefineries could potentially employ lignin valorization technologies. Chapters will specifically focus on the production of fuels and chemicals from lignin and topics covered include (i) methods for isolating lignin in the context of the lignocellulosic biorefinery, (ii)more »« less

Internalization and accumulation of model lignin breakdown products in bacteria and fungi

Journal Article Barnhart-Dailey, Meghan C. ; Ye, Dongmei ; Hayes, Dulce C. ; ... - Biotechnology for Biofuels

Background Valorization of lignin has the potential to significantly improve the economics of lignocellulosic biorefineries. However, its complex structure makes conversion to useful products elusive. One promising approach is depolymerization of lignin and subsequent bioconversion of breakdown products into value-added compounds. Optimizing transport of these depolymerization products into one or more organism(s) for biological conversion is important to maximize carbon utilization and minimize toxicity. Current methods assess internalization of depolymerization products indirectly—for example, growth on, or toxicity of, a substrate. Furthermore, no method has been shown to provide visualization of depolymerization products in individual cells. Results We applied mass spectrometrymore »« less
