Item Open Access Process optimisation for production and recovery of succinic acid using xylose-rich hydrolysates by Actinobacillus succinogenes(Elsevier, 2021-10-28) Jokodola, Esther Oreoluwa; Narisetty, Vivek; Castro, Eulogio; Durgapal, Sumit; Coulon, Frederic; Sindhu, Raveendran; Binod, Parameswaran; Banu, J. Rajesh; Kumar, Gopalakrishnan; Kumar, VinodSuccinic acid (SA) is a top platform chemical obtainable from biomass. The current study evaluated the potential of Actinobacillus succinogenes for SA production using xylose-rich hemicellulosic fractions of two important lignocellulosic feedstocks, olive pits (OP) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and the results were compared with pure xylose. Initial experiments were conducted in shake flask followed by batch and fed-batch cultivation in bioreactor. Further separation of SA from the fermented broth was carried out by adapting direct crystallisation method. During fed-batch culture, maximum SA titers of 36.7, 33.6, and 28.7 g/L was achieved on pure xylose, OP and SCB hydrolysates, respectively, with same conversion yield of 0.27 g/g. The recovery yield of SA accumulated on pure xylose, OP and SCB hydrolysates was 79.1, 76.5, and 75.2%, respectively. The results obtained are of substantial value and pave the way for development of sustainable SA biomanufacturing in an integrated biorefinery.Item Open Access Technological advancements in valorization of second generation (2G) feedstocks for bio-based succinic acid production(Elsevier, 2022-07-08) Narisetty, Vivek; Okibe, Maureen Chiebonam; Amulya, K.; Jokodola, Esther Oreoluwa; Coulon, Frederic; Tyagi, Vinay Kumar; Lens, Piet N. L.; Parameswaran, Binod; Kumar, VinodSuccinic acid (SA) is used as a commodity chemical and as a precursor in chemical industry to produce other derivatives such as 1,4-butaneidol, tetrahydrofuran, fumaric acid, and bio-polyesters. The production of bio-based SA from renewable feedstocks has always been in the limelight owing to the advantages of renewability, abundance and reducing climate change by CO2 capture. Considering this, the current review focuses on various 2G feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass, crude glycerol, and food waste for cost-effective SA production. It also highlights the importance of producing SA via separate enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, and consolidated bioprocessing. Furthermore, recent advances in genetic engineering, and downstream SA processing are thoroughly discussed. It also elaborates on the techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment (LCA) studies carried out to understand the economics and environmental effects of bio-based SA synthesis.
