  • Understanding and improving microbial cell factories through Large Scale Data-approaches
  • 2019
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Since the advent of high-throughput genome sequencing methods in the mid-2000s, molecular biology has rapidly transitioned towards data-intensive science. Recent technological developments have increased the accessibility of omics experiments by decreasing the cost, while the concurrent design of new algorithms have improved the computational work-flow needed to analyse the large datasets generated. This has enabled the long standing idea of a systems approach to the cell, where molecular phenomena are no longer observed in isolation, but as parts of a tightly regulated cell-wide system. However, large data biology is not without its challenges, many of which are directly related to how to store, handle and analyse ome-wide datasets.The present thesis examines large data microbiology from a middle ground between metabolic engineering and in silico data management. The work was performed in the context of applied microbial lignocellulose valorisation with the end goal of generating improved cell factories for the production of value-added chemicals from renewable plant biomass. Three different challenges related to this feedstock were investigated from a large data-point of view: bacterial catabolism of lignin and its derived aromatic compounds; tolerance of baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to inhibitory compounds in lignocellulose hydrolysate; and the non-fermentable response to xylose in S. cerevisiae engineered for growth on this pentose sugar.The bibliome of microbial lignin catabolism is vast and consists of a long-standing cohort of fundamental microbiology, and a more recent cohort of applied lignin biovalorisation. Here, an online database was created with the long-term ambition of closing the gap between the two and make new connections that can fuel the generation of new knowledge. Whole-genome sequencing was used to investigate the genetic basis for observed phenotypes in bacterial isolates capable of growing on different kinds of lignin-derived aromatics. A whole-genome approach was also used to identify key sequence variants in the genotype of an industrial S. cerevisiae strain evolved for improved tolerance to inhibitors and high temperature. Finally, assessment of the sugar signalome of S. cerevisiae was enabled by the design and validation of a panel of in vivo fluorescent biosensors for single-cell cytometric analysis. It was found that xylose triggered a signal similar to that of low glucose in yeast cells engineered with xylose utilization pathways, and that introduction of deletions previously related to improved xylose utilization altered the signal towards that of high glucose.Taken together, the present thesis illustrates how omics-approaches can aid design of laboratory experiments to increase the knowledge and understanding of microorganisms, and demonstrates the need for a combined knowledge of molecular and computational biology in large-scale data microbiology.

  • Evaluation of biosensors and flow cytometry as monitoring tools in lignocellulosic bioethanol production
  • 2023
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The significant environmental impact of the current fossil fuel-based industry is a major concern for society. Consequently, various initiatives are being undertaken to establish a more sustainable industrial model. One example is via the transition from conventional fossil fuel refineries to biorefineries, where renewable raw materials are utilised. Amongst these raw materials, the use of lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural residues or wood has been favoured, as it does not compete with food or land resources. In particular, extensive research has been conducted to produce biofuels such as bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass, referred to as second-generation (2G) bioethanol.In this thesis work, the goal was to develop and apply new tools to address challenges encountered in 2G bioethanol production. Specifically, the work focused on monitoring the impact of inhibitory compounds and mixed sugars on the fermentation performance of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.Inhibitory compounds are released during the pretreatment of the lignocellulosic biomass, a crucial step necessary to break down its complex structure and to enhance sugar accessibility This thesis work specifically focused on the redox imbalance induced in cells exposed to furaldehydes such as furfural or HMF. To study this effect, a biosensor for redox imbalance, TRX2p-yEGFP, was introduced into the cells and its fluorescence signal was monitored in real-time using flow cytometry. One potential strategy for enhancing the cells' tolerance to these inhibitors is to prepare them by introducing lignocellulosic hydrolysate in the feed during cell propagation. During this pre-exposure phase, a transient induction of the TRX2p-yEGFP biosensor signal for redox imbalance was observed, which gradually diminished. This indicated that, by the time of cell collection, the cells had adapted to the inhibitor concentration within the culture. To examine whether an increased induction level of the biosensor at the time of cell collection influenced the fermentation performance, an automated control system was devised. This system utilised data from the flow cytometry analysis to control the level of inhibitors in the cultivation feed. Consequently, when the biosensor signal began to decline, higher amounts of inhibitors were added, as long as the addition did not lead to an increase in the number of damaged cells.A second biosensor was used in this thesis work to investigate the sugar signalling response of S. cerevisiae to the presence of xylose. Xylose is the second most abundant sugar in lignocellulosic biomass; however, naturally, S. cerevisiae cannot metabolise it. Genetically modified S. cerevisiae strains have been generated by introducing heterologous pathways such as the XR/XDH or XI pathways to enable xylose consumption. Nevertheless, xylose consumption rates remain lower compared to glucose. Sugar signalling emerged as a potential bottleneck in the efficient utilisation of xylose. In the present work, the response of the SUC2p-yEGFP biosensor for sugar signalling was found to vary significantly depending on the pathway employed. A higher induction for the strains carrying the XI pathway was associated with poorer growth on xylose. Lastly, the effect of introducing a xylose epimerase capable of catalysing the conversion between the two anomers, α-D-xylopyranose and β-D-xylopyranose, as a strategy to improve xylose consumption was studied. The effect was enzyme-specific and proved to be particularly beneficial in strains utilising the xylose isomerase from Lachnoclostridium phytofermentans.In conclusion, the results presented in this thesis demonstrate how biosensors can facilitate the understanding and monitoring of intracellular processes that occur within the cell under stress conditions and be a key tool for improving production processes.

  • Isolation and characterization of a resident tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain from a spent sulfite liquor fermentation plant
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: AMB Express. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2191-0855. ; 2:1, s. 68-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Spent Sulfite Liquor (SSL) from wood pulping facilities is a sugar rich effluent that can be used as feedstock for ethanol production. However, depending on the pulping process conditions, the release of monosaccharides also generates a range of compounds that negatively affect microbial fermentation. In the present study, we investigated whether endogenous yeasts in SSL-based ethanol plant could represent a source of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with a naturally acquired tolerance towards this inhibitory environment. Two isolation processes were performed, before and after the re-inoculation of the plant with a commercial baker’s yeast strain. The isolates were clustered by DNA fingerprinting and a recurrent Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, different from the inoculated commercial baker’s yeast strain, was isolated. The strain, named TMB3720, flocculated heavily and presented high furaldehyde reductase activity. During fermentation of undiluted SSL, TMB3720 displayed a 4-fold higher ethanol production rate and 1.8-fold higher ethanol yield as compared to the commercial baker’s yeast. Another non-Saccharomyces cerevisiae species, identified as the pentose utilizing Pichia galeiformis, was also recovered in the last tanks of the process where the hexose to pentose sugar ratio and the inhibitory pressure are expected to be the lowest.

  • Strain-dependent variance in short-term adaptation effects of two xylose-fermenting strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Bioresource technology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0960-8524 .- 1873-2976. ; 292, s. 121922-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The limited tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the inhibitors present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates is a major challenge in second-generation bioethanol production. Short-term adaptation of the yeast to lignocellulosic hydrolysates during cell propagation has been shown to improve its tolerance, and thus its performance in lignocellulose fermentation. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term adaptation effects in yeast strains with different genetic backgrounds. Fed-batch propagation cultures were supplemented with 40% wheat straw hydrolysate during the feed phase to adapt two different pentose-fermenting strains, CR01 and KE6-12. The harvested cells were used to inoculate fermentation media containing 80% or 90% wheat straw hydrolysate. The specific ethanol productivity during fermentation was up to 3.6 times higher for CR01 and 1.6 times higher for KE6-12 following adaptation. The influence of physiological parameters such as viability, storage carbohydrate content, and metabolite yields following short-term adaptation demonstrated that short-term adaptation was strain dependent.

  • Integrated starch and lignocellulose based biorefineries : Synergies and opportunities
  • 2021
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The transition from a reliance on fossil resources to the use of renewables for the production of energy, fuels and chemicals is essential for ensuring the sustainability of continued human development. Plant-based biomass is a renewable resource which can be transformed into all of these products. However, biomass is a heterogeneous material composed of several fractions with different chemical properties. Furthermore, the composition varies between species. In order to maximize the environmental and economic sustainability of biomass-based production, production systems that utilize all fractions of biomass to their fullest potential have to be developed. This is the goal of a biorefinery.The work presented in this thesis mainly revolves around biorefineries that utilize feedstocks rich in starch and lignocellulose together to produce ethanol in an integrated process. The work is focused on comparing the performance of stand-alone and integrated biorefineries by investigating the impact that feedstock blending has on parameters important for the process economy, identifying potential synergies from integration and opportunities for improved material utilization.It was found in this work, that the integration of starch- and lignocellulose-based feedstocks could result in improved ethanol productivity and yield during hydrolysis and fermentation compared to a stand-alone lignocellulose process without losing performance compared to a stand-alone starch-based process.The prospects of introducing a sequential fractionation of the lignocellulosic biomass prior to integration was investigated. It was shown that this method could be used to produce separate fractions enriched in cellulose and lignin as well as improving the hydrolyzabilty of the cellulose fraction. This kind of fractionation could facility the utilization of all biomass fractions in both feedstocks by creating new byproduct streams as well as decreasing negative impacts on existing byproduct streams.

  • Protein extraction from cold-pressed hempseed press cake: From laboratory to pilot scale
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Journal of Food Science. - : Wiley. - 1750-3841 .- 0022-1147. ; 87:1, s. 312-325
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Abstract: During the production of industrial hempseed oil, a press cake is formed as a byproduct, which is often used as animal feed although it contains a high amount of protein that could be used for human consumption. Extracting this valuable protein would reduce food waste and increase the availability of plant-based protein. A protein extraction process based on the pH-shift method was adapted to improve the protein extraction yield from industrial hempseed press cake (HPC). Parameters such as alkali extraction pH, time, and temperature, as well as isoelectric precipitation pH, were investigated in laboratory scale and were thereafter carried out in a pilot trial to explore the suitability for future scale up. The phytic acid content of the extracted protein isolate was also analyzed to investigate any potential inhibitory effect on mineral absorption. A final protein yield of 60.6%, with a precipitated protein content of 90.3% (dw), was obtained using a constant alkali extraction pH of 10.5 for 1 h at room temperature, followed by precipitation at pH 5.5. The pilot trial showed promising results for the future production of industrial hemp protein precipitate on a larger scale, showing a protein yield of 57.0% and protein content of 90.8% (dw). The amount of phytic acid in the protein isolate produced in the optimal laboratory experiment and in the pilot trial was 0.595 and 0.557 g phytic acid/100 g dw, respectively, which is 83%–88% less than in the HPC. This is in the range of other plant-based protein sources (tofu, kidney beans, peas, etc.). Practical Application: Industrial hempseed press cake is a byproduct in the production of industrial hempseed oil, which is mostly used as animal feed, but has the potential to become an additional source of plant-based protein for human consumption with a suitable protein extraction method. The extracted hemp protein could be used to develop new plant-based dairy or meat analog products.

  • Integrated continuous biomanufacturing on pilot scale for acid-sensitive monoclonal antibodies
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Biotechnology and Bioengineering. - : Wiley. - 0006-3592 .- 1097-0290.
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In this study, we demonstrated the first, to our knowledge, integrated continuous bioprocess (ICB) designed for the production of acid-sensitive monoclonal antibodies, prone to aggregate at low pH, on pilot scale. A high cell density perfusion culture, stably maintained at 100 × 106 cells/ml, was integrated with the downstream process, consisting of a capture step with the recently developed Protein A ligand, ZCa; a solvent/detergent-based virus inactivation; and two ion-exchange chromatography steps. The use of a mild pH in the downstream process makes this ICB suitable for the purification of acid-sensitive monoclonal antibodies. Integration and automation of the downstream process were achieved using the Orbit software, and the same equipment and control system were used in initial small-scale trials and the pilot-scale downstream process. High recovery yields of around 90% and a productivity close to 1 g purified antibody/L/day were achieved, with a stable glycosylation pattern and efficient removal of impurities, such as host cell proteins and DNA. Finally, negligible levels of antibody aggregates were detected owing to the mild conditions used throughout the process. The present work paves the way for future industrial-scale integrated continuous biomanufacturing of all types of antibodies, regardless of acid stability.

  • Physiological requirements for growth and competitiveness of Dekkera bruxellensis under oxygen-limited or anaerobic conditions
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Yeast. - : Wiley. - 1097-0061 .- 0749-503X. ; 29:7, s. 265-274
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The effect of glucose and oxygen limitation on the growth and fermentation performances of Dekkera bruxellensis was investigated in order to understand which factors favour its propagation in ethanol or wine plants. Although D. bruxellensis has been described as a facultative anaerobe, no growth was observed in mineral medium under complete anaerobiosis while growth was retarded under severe oxygen limitation. In a continuous culture with no gas inflow, glucose was not completely consumed, most probably due to oxygen limitation. When an air/nitrogen mixture (O-2-content ca. 5%) was sparged to the culture, growth became glucose-limited. In co-cultivations with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ethanol yields/g consumed sugar were not affected by the co-cultures as compared to the pure cultures. However, different population responses were observed in both systems. In oxygen-limited cultivation, glucose was depleted within 24 h after challenging with S. cerevisiae and both yeast populations were maintained at a stable level. In contrast, the S. cerevisiae population constantly decreased to about 1% of its initial cell number in the sparged glucose-limited fermentation, whereas the D. bruxellensis population remained constant. To identify the requirements of D. bruxellensis for anaerobic growth, the yeast was cultivated in several nitrogen sources and with the addition of amino acids. Yeast extract and most of the supplied amino acids supported anaerobic growth, which points towards a higher nutrient demand for D. bruxellensis compared to S. cerevisiae in anaerobic conditions.

  • Using phosphoglucose isomerase-deficient (pgi1Δ) Saccharomyces cerevisiae to map the impact of sugar phosphate levels on d-glucose and d-xylose sensing
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Microbial Cell Factories. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1475-2859. ; 21:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Despite decades of engineering efforts, recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae are still less efficient at converting d-xylose sugar to ethanol compared to the preferred sugar d-glucose. Using GFP-based biosensors reporting for the three main sugar sensing routes, we recently demonstrated that the sensing response to high concentrations of d-xylose is similar to the response seen on low concentrations of d-glucose. The formation of glycolytic intermediates was hypothesized to be a potential cause of this sensing response. In order to investigate this, glycolysis was disrupted via the deletion of the phosphoglucose isomerase gene (PGI1) while intracellular sugar phosphate levels were monitored using a targeted metabolomic approach. Furthermore, the sugar sensing of the PGI1 deletants was compared to the PGI1-wildtype strains in the presence of various types and combinations of sugars. Results: Metabolomic analysis revealed systemic changes in intracellular sugar phosphate levels after deletion of PGI1, with the expected accumulation of intermediates upstream of the Pgi1p reaction on d-glucose and downstream intermediates on d-xylose. Moreover, the analysis revealed a preferential formation of d-fructose-6-phosphate from d-xylose, as opposed to the accumulation of d-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate that is normally observed when PGI1 deletants are incubated on d-fructose. This may indicate a role of PFK27 in d-xylose sensing and utilization. Overall, the sensing response was different for the PGI1 deletants, and responses to sugars that enter the glycolysis upstream of Pgi1p (d-glucose and d-galactose) were more affected than the response to those entering downstream of the reaction (d-fructose and d-xylose). Furthermore, the simultaneous exposure to sugars that entered upstream and downstream of Pgi1p (d-glucose with d-fructose, or d-glucose with d-xylose) resulted in apparent synergetic activation and deactivation of the Snf3p/Rgt2p and cAMP/PKA pathways, respectively. Conclusions: Overall, the sensing assays indicated that the previously observed d-xylose response stems from the formation of downstream metabolic intermediates. Furthermore, our results indicate that the metabolic node around Pgi1p and the level of d-fructose-6-phosphate could represent attractive engineering targets for improved d-xylose utilization.

  • D-xylose sensing in saccharomyces cerevisiae : Insights from D-glucose signaling and native D-xylose utilizers
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Molecular Sciences. - : MDPI AG. - 1661-6596 .- 1422-0067. ; 22:22

    • Extension of the substrate range is among one of the metabolic engineering goals for microorganisms used in biotechnological processes because it enables the use of a wide range of raw materials as substrates. One of the most prominent examples is the engineering of baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the utilization of D-xylose, a five-carbon sugar found in high abundance in lignocellulosic biomass and a key substrate to achieve good process economy in chemical production from renewable and non-edible plant feedstocks. Despite many excellent engineering strategies that have allowed recombinant S. cerevisiae to ferment D-xylose to ethanol at high yields, the consumption rate of D-xylose is still significantly lower than that of its preferred sugar D-glucose. In mixed D-glucose/D-xylose cultivations, D-xylose is only utilized after D-glucose depletion, which leads to prolonged process times and added costs. Due to this limitation, the response on D-xylose in the native sugar signaling pathways has emerged as a promising next-level engineering target. Here we review the current status of the knowledge of the response of S. cerevisiae signaling pathways to D-xylose. To do this, we first summarize the response of the native sensing and signaling pathways in S. cerevisiae to D-glucose (the preferred sugar of the yeast). Using the Dglucose case as a point of reference, we then proceed to discuss the known signaling response to Dxylose in S. cerevisiae and current attempts of improving the response by signaling engineering using native targets and synthetic (non-native) regulatory circuits.
