Okara, despite being a soybean processing by-product, still holds many nutrients. Thus, considerable attention has been recently paid to its reuse. In this study, solid-state fermentation was performed using Ganoderma lucidum and Lentinus edodes. Antioxidant activity and bioactive compound levels in G. lucidum-fermented okara (GLFO) and L. edodes-f...

Trehalose synthase converts maltose into trehalose in a single conversion step via intramolecular transformation and is thus useful for industrial production. In this study, we synthesized a thermophilic trehalose synthase from Thermus antranikianii (TaTS), which was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The recombinant TaTS showed...

Industrial scale microalgal cell disruption requires low cost, high efficiency and structural conservation of biomolecules for biorefinery. Many cultivated microalgae have thick walls and these walls are barriers for efficient cell disruption. Until recently, despite the high biodiversity of microalgae, little attention has been paid to thin-wall m...

Xylose, the main component of xylan, is the second most abundant sugar in nature after glucose. Consequently, xylose represents an attractive feedstock for the production of value-added compounds such as biosurfactants (BSs), which are produced by various bacteria and yeasts. In this study, we screened and isolated yeast strains that synthesize BSs...

Investigating the effects of different kinds of inhibitors on the activity and structure of acetate-degrading microbial community involved in methane fermentation is critically important for developing countermeasures to make the fermentation process stable under different inhibitory conditions. In the present study, a mesophilic chemostat fed with...

Metabolically engineered microorganisms that produce useful organic compounds will be helpful for realizing a sustainable society. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has high utility as a metabolic engineering platform because of its high fermentation ability, non-pathogenicity, and ease of handling. When producing yeast strains that produc...

This study characterized dynamic behaviors of batch anaerobic digesters treating food waste in terms of methane production, organics destruction and process stability under different organic loads (OLs), substrate to inoculum (S/I) ratios [on volatile solid (VS) basis] and initial pH. The results showed that OL, S/I ratio and initial pH significant...

Rice-flavor baijiu is a traditional Chinese liquor that is manufactured using a solid-state saccharification process. In the present study, we investigated the role of the process in making of rice-flavor baijiu using chemical and biological quantitative analysis approaches. More than 70% of starch in rice decomposed to glucose after saccharificati...

Major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporters are found in all organisms. Although numerous studies have examined the functions of yeast and mold MFS transporters in terms of sugar affinity and metabolic regulation, no functional analyses of MFS sugar transporters in white rot fungi have been reported. This study identified an MFS sugar transpor...
