In present study, the beneficial effect of corncob acid hydrolysate environment on lipid fermentation of Trichosporon dermatis was elucidated by method of cell biology (mainly using flow cytometry and microscope) for the first time. Propidium iodide (PI) and rhodamine 123 (Rh123) staining showed that corncob acid hydrolysate environment was favorable for the cell membrane integrity and mitochondrial membrane potential of T. dermatis and thus made its lipid fermentation more efficient. Nile red (NR) staining showed that corncob acid hydrolysate environment made the lipid accumulation of T. dermatis slower, but this influence was not serious. Moreover, the cell morphology of T. dermatis elongated in the corncob acid hydrolysate, but the cell morphology changed as elliptical-like during fermentation. Overall, this work offers one simple and effective method to evaluate the influence of lignocellulosic hydrolysates environment on lipid fermentation.

This study investigates the mixing effects on the enzymatic hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and dilute-acid pretreated corncob substrates under high-solid conditions. Enzymatic hydrolysis experiments were conducted to assess cellulose conversion rates under varying mixing conditions (0, 50, 150, and 250 rpm) and solids loadings (5 %, 15 %, 25 %, and 35 %, w/v), and distinct physicochemical properties of the substrates were characterized. Additionally, the role of mixing conditions and solid loadings on cellulose hydrolysis kinetics and enzyme adsorption on both substrates and lignin were elucidated.

Two distinctive aromatic units, p - coumarate and ferulate, exist in corncob lignin, which have the potential to yield p - coumaric acid (pCA) and ferulic acid (FA). Although pCA and FA are primarily extracted from corncob lignin utilizing strong acids and bases, extremely acidic or alkaline conditions result in the disruption of the aromatic unit structure of the residual lignin. Herein, lactic acid coupled with choline chloride was utilized as acidic deep eutectic solvent (DES), while KCO with glycerin was used as alkaline DES, thereby facilitating the extraction of pCA, FA and lignin from corncob in a mild environment.
