TL;DR

Key synergistic mechanisms, including in situ detoxification, parallel utilization of pentose and hexose mixtures, and metabolite exchange (cross-feeding), which distribute metabolic functions among specialized strains, expanding metabolic diversity and optimizing carbon valorization, are analyzed.

Engineering Microbial Consortia for Coordinated Control of Metabolic Roles and Electron Flows in Dark-Fermentative Hydrogen Production

Dark fermentation of organic waste offers a means of coupling molecular hydrogen (H2) production with the bioconversion of wet organic feedstocks. However, its practical performance remains limited by unstable carbon and electron-flow distribution, substrate heterogeneity, and dynamic shifts in microbial community stru...

Utilization of lignocellulosic biomass as sustainable feedstock for the bioproduction of n-butanol as an advanced biofuel: current progress and future perspectives

n-Butanol is a promising advanced biofuel and versatile platform chemical. However, its fermentative production by solventogenic clostridial strains remains economically limited by reliance on costly edible feedstocks of corn and sugarcane. Lignocellulosic biomass provides an abundant, non-food alternative, but its eff...

Bioconversion of Lignocellulosic Waste to Bioethanol: Role of Microorganisms

Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant, renewable, and sustainable resource with significant potential for bioethanol production. However, its complex structure, composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, presents a major challenge for its efficient conversion to fermentable sugars. The bioconversion of lignocel...

Detoxification as metabolic rewiring: carbon and redox recovery from lignocellulosic inhibitors in biorefinery hosts

The pretreatment process of lignocellulosic biomass results in the formation of inhibitory by-products such as furan aldehydes, phenolics, and weak acids that hinder the process of microbial fermentation. Historically, the detoxification process has been regarded as an exercise in waste management, resulting in carbo...

Fermentation of Macroalgae and Halophytes for Animal Feed: Barriers, Bioconversion, Postbiotics, Safety, and Evidence Gaps—A Critical Review

Marine macroalgae and terrestrial halophytes represent a structurally distinct class of feed resources that can be produced without the arable land, fresh water, and synthetic fertilizer inputs required by conventional protein crops. Their direct incorporation into animal diets is, however, constrained by a convergent...
