TL;DR

Overexpression of ADH6, HAA1, and GRE2 genes were performed and strains were characterized by increased in riboflavin production, characterized by increased in riboflavin production.

Abstract

Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising source of sugars, however, during hydrolysis the toxic compounds are released, that can inhibit the producing strain. For today there is no data on the genetic regulation in C. famata of tolerance to inhibitors (furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and acetic acid), as well as whether increased resistance would correlate with increased riboflavin production. Overexpression of ADH6 (coding for alcohol dehydrogenase), HAA1 (coding for transcription factor), and GRE2 (coding for aldehyde reductase) genes were performed for C. famata BRPI strain. Resulted strains were characterized by increased in riboflavin production. Keywords: riboflavin; Candida famata; yeast; riboflavin overproducers; lignocellulose hydrolysate; inhibitors.

ENGINEERING GLYCEROL UTILIZATION IN CANDIDA FAMATA FOR SUSTAINABLE RIBOFLAVIN PRODUCTION USING CRUDE GLYCEROL

Candida famata is a flavinogenic non-conventional yeast with a high capacity for riboflavin (vitamin B₂) production and represents a promising microbial cell factory. Glycerol, particularly crude glycerol generated as a by-product of biodiesel production, is an attractive low-cost carbon source for microbial fermentati...

Leveraging lignocellulosic hydrolysates for sustainable methyl ketone production.

Medium chain-methyl ketones are molecules with high energy content and various industrial applications. So far, biotechnological methyl ketone production was performed with glucose as a carbon source in minimal media, which is often not the best choice in terms of achieving a sustainable and cost-efficient bioprocess....

The effect of lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment by-products on the fermentation activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, measured using indices of toxic stress.

There was a synergistic effect for toxic stress resulting from the combined effect of the tested inhibitors, especially at medium and high doses of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural and vanillin.
