Xylanase has good application prospect in the paper and pulp industry, feed industry, health care and bioenergy industry,etc.The xylanase is one of the key enzyme in the utilization of biomass. Fermentation kinetics equation was constructed based on Logistic and Luedeking-Piret equation. The results showed that the dissolved oxygen was related to the stirring speed, raising to 45% naturally after the log growth phase (about 30h) on the base of the optimum medium process of xylanase production by Trichoderma reesei. Fed-batch fermentation strategy was designed based on fermentation kinetics equations. The xylanase activity was further enhanced to 2406.175U/mL, enzyme activity per unit protein mass was 6573U/mg.

Glycerol is an eco-friendly solvent that enhances plant biomass decomposition via glycerolysis in many pretreatment methods. Nonetheless, the lack of efficient conversion of glycerol by natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae hinders its use in these methods. Here, we have aimed to develop a complete strategy for the generation of efficient glycerol-converting yeast by modifying the oxidation of cytosolic nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) by an O2-dependent dynamic shuttle, while abolishing both glycerol phosphorylation and biosynthesis. By following a vigorous glycerol oxidation pathway, the engineered strain increased the conversion efficiency (CE) to up to 0.49 g ethanol/g glycerol (98% of theoretical CE), with production rate > 1 g×L×h, when glycerol was supplemented in a single fed-batch fermentation in a rich medium. Furthermore, the engineered strain fermented a mixture of glycerol and glucose, producing > 86 g/L bioethanol with 92.8% CE. To our knowledge, this is the highest ever reported titer in this field. Notably, this strategy changed conventional yeast from a non-grower on minimal medium containing glycerol to a fermenting strain with productivity of 0.25-0.5 g×L×h and 84-78% CE, which converted 90% of the substrate to products. Our findings may improve the utilization of glycerol in several eco-friendly biorefinery approaches.
