Sugar-rich waste streams, generated in very high quantities worldwide, constitute an important source of environmental pollution. Their eco-friendly conversions into a plethora of added-value compounds through the use of microbial fermentations is currently a very “hot” scientific topic. The aim of this study, was to assess the potential of single cell oil (SCO), microbial mass and citric acid (CA) production by non-conventional yeast strains growing on expired (“waste”) glucose. Six yeast strains (viz. Rhodosporidium toruloides DSM 4444, Rhodotorula glutinis NRRL YB-252, R. toruloides NRRL Y-27012, Yarrowia lipolytica LFMB Y-20, Y. lipolytica ACA-DC 50109 and Lipomyces starkeyi DSM 70296) were initially grown in shake flasks with expired glucose used as substrate under nitrogen limitation, in order to “boost” the cellular metabolism towards the synthesis of SCO and CA, and their growth response was quantitatively evaluated. Initial glucose concentration (Glc0) was adjusted at c. 50 g/L. Besides Y. lipolytica, all other yeast strains produced noticeable SCO quantities [lipid in dry cell weight (DCW) ranging from 25.3% w/w to 55.1% w/w]. Lipids of all yeasts contained significant quantities of oleic acid, being perfect candidates for the synthesis of 2nd generation biodiesel. The highest DCW production (=13.6 g/L) was obtained by L. starkeyi DSM 70296, while both Y. lipolytica strains did not accumulate noticeable lipid quantities, but produced non-negligible CA amounts. The most promising CA-producing strain, namely Y. lipolytica ACA-DC 50109 was further studied in stirred-tank bioreactor systems, while the very promising DCW- and SCO-producing L. starkeyi DSM 70296 was further studied in shake flasks. Both strains were grown on media presenting higher Glc0 concentrations and the same initial nitrogen quantity as previously. Indeed, L. starkeyi grown at Glc0 = 85 g/L, produced DCWmax = 34.0 g/L, that contained lipid =34.1% w/w (thus SCO was =11.6 g/L). The strain ACA-DC 50109 in stirred tank bioreactor with Glc0 ≈ 105 g/L produced CA up to 46 g/L (yield of CA produced on glucose consumed; YCA/Glc ≈ 0.45 g/g). Finally, in fed-batch bioreactor experiment, the significant CA quantity of 82.0 g/L (YCA/Glc = 0.50 g/g) was recorded. Concluding, “waste” glucose proved to be a suitable substrate for a number of non-conventional yeast strains. Y. lipolytica ACA-DC 50109 produced significant quantities of CA while L. starkeyi DSM 70296 was a very interesting DCW- and SCO-producing candidate. These strains can be used as potential cell factories amenable to convert glucose-based residues into the mentioned metabolic compounds, that present high importance for food, chemical and biofuel facilities.

“…Cellular lipids were converted to their respective fatty acid (FA) methyl-esters that were subsequently analyzed in a gas chromatograph (GC-FID) apparatus (Fisons 8060, Markham, ON, Canada), equipped with a Chrompack (São Paulo, Brazil) column (60 m × 0.32 mm) and a flame ionization detector using helium as a carrier gas (2.0 mL/min), according to Giannakis et al [45]. Finally, intra-cellular polysaccharides (IPS, g/L) were quantitatively determined according to the modified protocol adapted by Argyropoulos et al [46].…”

Four wild “red” yeast strains (Rhodosporidium kratochvilovae FMCC Y70, R. toruloides NRRL Y-27013, R. toruloides NRRL Y-17902 and R. toruloides NRRL Y-6985) were cultured in shake flasks on industrial glycerol at an initial substrate (Gly0) concentration ≈ 50 g/L under nitrogen limitation. Strains NRRL Y-27013, NRRL Y-17902 and NRRL Y-6985 presented appreciable dry cell weight (DCW) and lipid synthesis (DCW up to 18–19 g/L containing lipids in quantities ≈ 47%, w/w). Strains NRRL Y-27013 and NRRL Y-6985 were further tested in higher Gly0 concentrations (≈90 g/L and ≈110 g/L) with the same initial nitrogen quantity as in the first (“screening”) experiment. Both strains, despite the high Gly0 concentrations and C/N ratios (up to 120 moles/moles) imposed, presented significant DCW production (up to c. 29.0–29.5 g/L). Yeast biomass contained significant lipid (42–43%, w/w) and endopolysaccharide (up to 42%, w/w) quantities. Both lipids and endopolysaccharide quantities (in % w/w) noticeably increased as a response to the imposed nitrogen limitation. Lipids containing mainly oleic and palmitic acids constituted ideal candidates for biodiesel synthesis. Thereafter, the wastewaters derived from the lipid production process (lipid fermentation wastewaters—LFWs) were used as maceration waters in cultivations of edible and medicinal fungi, where novel (non-conventional) substrates were used in the performed cultures. CW (coffee residue + wheat straw), CB (coffee residue + beech wood shavings), OW (olive crop + wheat straw), OB (olive crop + beech wood shavings), RW (rice husk + wheat straw) and RB (rice husk + beech wood shavings) were soaked/sprayed with LFWs or tap water and utilized in the cultivation of Pleurotus, Ganoderma and Lentinula mushrooms. The impact of LFWs on the mycelial growth rate (mm/d) and biomass production was evaluated. The results show that regardless of the wetting method, the highest growth rates (6.2–6.6 mm/d) were noticed on RW and RB for Pleurotus eryngii and Ganoderma resinaceum, on OW, OB and RW for Ganoderma applanatum and on RW, OW and OB for Lentinula edodes. Nevertheless, high biomass production was obtained on substrates soaked with LFWs for Pleurotus ostreatus (RW: 443 mg/g d.w.), L. edodes (RB: 238 mg/g d.w.) and Ganoderma lucidum (RW: 450 mg/g d.w.). Overall, this study demonstrates the possibility of the industrial conversion of low-value agro-waste to mycelial mass and eventually to important food products.

Valorization of lignocellulosic biomass, such as Spent Mushroom Substrate (SMS), as an alternative substrate for biogas production could meet the increasing demand for energy. In view of this, the present study aimed at the biotechnological valorization of SMS for biogas production. In the first part of the study, two SMS chemical pretreatment processes were investigated and subsequently combined with thermal treatment of the mentioned waste streams. The acidic chemical hydrolysate derived from the hydrothermal treatment, which yielded in the highest concentration of free sugars (≈36 g/100 g dry SMS, hydrolysis yield ≈75% w/w of holocellulose), was used as a potential feedstock for biomethane production in a laboratory bench-scale improvised digester, and 52 L biogas/kg of volatile solids (VS) containing 65% methane were produced in a 15-day trial of anaerobic digestion. As regards the alkaline hydrolysate, it was like a pulp due to the lignocellulosic matrix disruption, without releasing additional sugars, and the biogas production was delayed for several days. The biogas yield value was 37 L/kg VS, and the methane content was 62%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that SMS can be valorized as an alternative medium employed for anaerobic digestion when pretreated with both chemical and hydrothermal hydrolysis.
