High titer (>100 g/L) ethanol production from pretreated corn stover hydrolysate by modified yeast strains
Bioresource Technology(2024)
Abstract
Developing a reliable lignocellulose pretreatment method to extract mixed sugars and engineering efficient strains capable of utilizing xylose are crucial for advancing cellulosic ethanol production. In this study, chemical and characterization analyses revealed that alkali cooking can significantly remove lignin from lignocellulose crops. The highest amount of mixed sugar was obtained from corn stover hydrolysates with a 15 % solid loading. Our genetically engineered yeast strain Delta snR4, derived from a well-staged WXY70, demonstrated excellent performance in low 10 % solids loading corn stover hydrolysate, producing a high ethanol yield of 0.485 g/g total sugars. When a combined NaOH-ball milling pretreatment strategy was applied at high solids loading, Delta snR4 exhibited the maximum ethanol titer of 110.9 g/L within 36 h, achieving an ethanol yield of 92.9 % theoretical maximum. Therefore, Delta snR4 is highly compatible with high solid loading NaOH-ball milling pretreatment, making it a potential candidate for industrial cellulosic ethanol.
