Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for separating sugars and acids with reduced energy consumption, including a step of diffusively dialyzing a first acid hydrolysate obtained by saccharifying biomass with an acid solution, thereby preparing a second acid hydrolysate wherein the concentration of the acid solution contained in the acid hydrolysate is decreased; and a step of electrolyzing the second acid hydrolysate, thereby separating sugars from the acid solution, which is advantageous in that less energy is consumed, the separated acid solution can be recycled directly without further treatment due to high concentration and loss of sugars can be minimized.
Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses a strain having resistance by neutralizing furfural, an inhibitor derived from lignocellulosic biomass, based on a technique using aldehyde dehydrogenase and a method of using the same. According to the present disclosure, furfural, an inhibitor derived from lignocellulosic biomass, is neutralized based on a technique using aldehyde dehydrogenase, so that a resistant strain overexpresses aldehyde dehydrogenase (EcAldH) in Yarrowia lipolytica, which has the ability to produce yeast oil, and has resistance to furfural, a biomass-derived inhibitor. Accordingly, even in the medium containing furfural, it can provide excellent strain growth and yeast oil production ability.

The present disclosure relates to a Clostridium sp. JS66 strain producing metabolites having 4 to 6 carbon atoms in a high yield. The strain produces metabolites having 6 carbon atoms in a significantly high yield while reducing the production of acetic acid and ethanol as by-products.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a novel strain capable of saccharifying and fermenting biomass-derived cellulose and a recombinant strain thereof with improved biomass saccharification capability. The present disclosure also relates to a method for producing a material useful as a bioenergy source material such as ethanol, acetic acid, formic acid, etc. using the strain or the recombinant strain. The strain or the recombinant strain may be usefully used in bioenergy industry.
Abstract:
The present specification relates to a transformed yeast strain capable of simultaneously utilizing xylose and glucose as carbon sources, a preparation method thereof and a biofuel production method using the same. The transformed yeast strain transforms a wild-type yeast strain incapable of using xylose as a carbon source and simultaneously convert glucose and xylose, thereby enabling high yield production of a biofuel. The economics and sustainability of the biofuel and biomaterial production processes can be highly enhanced by providing a strain which can easily be converted to a strain capable of producing a biofuel/material in a high yield through an additional modification.
Abstract:
The present specification discloses a transformed Synechococcus elongatus strain which may directly produce squalene from carbon dioxide, and a method for producing squalene and a method for removing carbon dioxide, using the same. In an aspect, the strain may produce squalene using carbon dioxide as a carbon source. The Synechococcus elongatus strain is economically efficient because a high-value added squalene is produced using light and carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere as a carbon source, and the method for producing squalene is eco-friendly because the strain may be utilized to remove or reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by using microorganisms. The strain of the present disclosure may produce only squalene, which is a desired target material with high purity, and has an advantage in that squalene may be continuously mass-produced.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an expression vector capable of expressing myrcene, an Escherichia coli strain transformed with the vector and having improved capability of producing myrcene and a method for producing myrcene and a method for recycling glycerol using the same. In an aspect, the transformed Escherichia coli strain of the present disclosure can produce myrcene with high purity on a large scale using glycerol or glucose as a carbon source. Also, the Escherichia coli strain of the present disclosure is economical and environment-friendly because it can produce high value-added myrcene using waste glycerol as a carbon source. In addition, the strongly volatile myrcene can be produced and isolated at the same time.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a hydrolysate of a mixture of lignocellulosic biomass and seaweed biomass. By mixing seaweed biomass with lignocellulosic biomass and then preparing a hydrolysate, lignocellulosic biomass-derived acetic acid is consumed together with seaweed biomass-derived mannitol. As a result, high sugar productivity can be maintained while reducing fermentation inhibitors. Because the present disclosure can solve the problem of lignocellulosic biomass of decreased fermentation efficiency due to lignocellulose-derived fermentation inhibitors and the problem of seaweed biomass of very low productivity in spite of long fermentation time, the hydrolysate according to the present disclosure may be used to produce biofuels and biochemicals economically.
Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses a vector that can be used for both cyanobacteria and E. coli, which contains, sequentially, a pUC replication origin as a replication origin; a spectinomycin-resistant gene as a selection marker; and a promoter selected from a group consisting of a trc promoter, a tetA promoter or a modified tetA promoter, a BAD promoter and a cbbL promoter. An industrially useful substance may be produced effectively using a host cell transformed with the vector. Also, the vector may be used to insert a variety of target genes through simple combination and, as a result, various vectors can be prepared effectively.
