Enhancing Profitability of Ethanol Fermentation through Gamma Ray Mutagenesis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract: World energy consumption is growing at rising rates, facing the progressive depletion of its energetic resources based on non-renewable fuels that also lead to the increase in the generation of polluting gases released into the atmosphere, which have caused changes in the global climate. The solution is to find alternative sources of energy [1]. The use of biomass is an environment friendly way of power generation [2-11]. Ethanol is the main liquid biofuel currently replacing 3% of gasoline. Worldwide, >50% bi… Show more

“…The untreated RY-18 dye sample showed mutagenicity up to 69% and 73%, while gamma/H 2 O 2 -treated RY-18 dye samples revealed a reduction in mutagenicity to 81.3% and 82.3%, respectively. These results showed that mutagenicity was reduced significantly when the RY-18 dye sample was treated with gamma radiation in combination with H 2 O 2 , and previous studies also support these findings [36,37].…”

“…The inhibition of free radical by DPPH was calculated [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The reductive potential of the extracts was measured by direct electron donation in the reduction of Fe 3+ (CN) 6 to Fe 2+ (CN) 6 . The reaction mixture contained 1mL of garlic extract, 2.5 mL of phosphate buffer (0.2 M with pH 6.6) and 2.5 mL of potassium ferricyanide (1%).…”

“…Prehistoric records showed that medicinal plants and their extracts are being used as medicine for human beings. As compared to antibiotics and other medicines, medicinal plants are very effective with least side effects [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Many of the drugs used nowadays are directly or indirectly derived from medicinal plants.…”

“…Fifth, reactive oxygen species in the fermentation environment result in reactive oxygen free radical accumulation that can lead to oxidative stress and other negative effects. To overcome these stresses, a series of physical, chemical, and molecular biological methods have been rapidly developed to enhance yeast robustness, including Ethidium bromide (EB) chemical treatment [9], UV-Nitroguanidine (UV-NTG) treatment [10], atmospheric room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis [11], γ-ray mutagenesis [12], protoplast fusion technology [13], adoptive evolution engineering [14], global transcription machinery engineering technology (gTME) [15] multiplex genome engineering using CRISPR/Cas9 [16], and RNAi-assisted genome evolution engineering [17]. Some S. cerevisiae mutant strains with higher ethanol synthesis ability were obtained.…”
