Olive tree pruning biomass has been pretreated with pressurized steam, hydrolysed with hydrochloric acid, conditioned and afterwards fermented using the non-traditional yeast Candida tropicalis NBRC 0618. The main aim of this study was to analyse the influence of acid concentration on the hydrolysis process and its effect on the subsequent fermentation to produce ethanol and xylitol. From the results, it could be deduced that both total sugars and d-glucose recovery were enhanced by increasing the acid concentration tested; almost the whole hemicellulose fraction was hydrolysed when 3.77% was used. It has been observed a sequential production first of ethanol, from d-glucose, and then xylitol from d-xylose. The overall ethanol and xylitol yields ranged from 0.27 to 0.38kgkg(-1), and 0.12 to 0.23kgkg(-1) respectively, reaching the highest values in the fermentation of the hydrolysates obtained with hydrochloric acid 2.61% and 1.11%, respectively.

A novel yeast species, isolated from the bark of pine trees in Gyeongju, South Korea, and designated as KCTC 37304 (ex-type KACC 410729), is characterized by its genetic, morphological and physiological properties. Molecular phylogenetic analysis involving the D1/D2 domain of the 26S LSU rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region confirms that it belongs to the genus . In comparison to CBS:10065, the type strain of its closest relative, KCTC 37304 exhibits 8 nucleotide substitutions (~2.

The microbial biosynthesis of the antioxidant compound resveratrol offers an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to chemical synthesis or plant extraction. Here, we showed that Kluyveromyces marxianus strains produce p-coumaric acid, a key precursor of resveratrol, with higher titres achieved under increased agitation conditions. Through further strain engineering, resveratrol production was achieved using glucose, xylose, and/or ethanol as substrates.

Enhancing the supply of the redox cofactor NADPH in metabolically engineered cells is a critical target for optimizing the synthesis of many product classes, such as fatty acids or terpenoids. In , several successful approaches have been developed in different experimental contexts. However, their systematic comparison has not been reported.
