One of the major obstacles in process of lignocellulosic biorefinery is the utilization of pre-hydrolysate from pre-treatment. Although lignocellulosic pre-hydrolysate can serve as an economic starting material for xylonic acid production, the advancement of xylonic acid or xylonate is still limited by further commercial value or applications. In the present study, xylose in the high concentration wheat straw pre-hydrolysate was first in-situ biooxidized to xylonate by Gluconobacter oxydans. To meet the needs of commercialization, crude powdered calcium xylonate was prepared by drying process and calcium xylonate content in the prepared crude product was more than 70%. Then, the calcium xylonate product was evaluated as concrete admixture without any complex purification steps and the results demonstrated that xylonate could improve the performance of concrete. Overall, the crude xylonate product directly produced from low-cost wheat straw pre-hydrolysate can potentially be developed as retarding reducer, which could subsequently benefit lignocellulosic biorefinery.

Article Synopsis
- - 1,2,4-Butanetriol is important for making various pharmaceuticals and a specific plasticizer, and researchers aimed to optimize its production using an engineered strain of Candida tropicalis.
- - To tackle issues like xylonate buildup and insufficient NADPH for biosynthesis, scientists enhanced iron availability and overexpressed key genes, leading to a 3.2 g/L yield of 1,2,4-butanetriol.
- - By adding calcium carbonate to stabilize pH and using corncob hydrolysate as a raw material, they achieved a yield of 4 g/L and identified a new method for converting this substrate into 1,2,4-butanetriol.
The Mechanical Properties and Water-Reducing and Retarding Mechanism of a Xylonic Cement Admixture.

This study explores the mechanical properties, as well as the water-reducing and setting delay mechanism, of a novel xylonic acid-based water reducer applied to cementitious materials. Four xylonic acid water reducers were synthesized in this study: XACa (PX) from pure xylose, XACa (HS) from hemicellulose hydrolysate, XANa (PX) from pure xylose, and XANa (HS) from hemicellulose hydrolysate. These were generated through the whole-cell catalysis of Gluconobacter oxydans bacteria, using pure xylose and hemicellulose hydrolysate as substrates.
