RESUMEN

Microbes and their carbohydrate-active enzymes are central for depolymerization of complex lignocellulosic polysaccharides in the global carbon cycle. Their unique abilities to degrade and ferment carbohydrates are also utilized in many industrial processes such as baking, brewing and production of biofuels and drugs. Effective degradation and utilization of cellulose and hemicelluloses is important for the shift towards green bioeconomy, and requires microbes equipped with proper sets of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). Knowledge of cellulolytic and xylanolytic CAZymes has mainly been generated from bacteria and filamentous fungi, while yeasts have been largely overlooked and may represent an untapped resource in natural CAZymes with industrial relevance. Cellulose and xylan-degrading yeasts with the ability to ferment saccharides are also promising candidates for consolidated bioprocesses (CBPs), as they can degrade lignocellulose and utilize its constituents to produce desired products at the same time. Cellulolytic yeasts able to utilize insoluble crystalline cellulose are rare while xylanolytic yeasts are rather widespread in nature. The lack of particular enzymes in yeasts can be remediated by introducing the missing enzymes into strains having outstanding product-forming attributes. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the cellulose- and xylan-degrading ascomycetous and basidiomycetous yeasts known to date. We describe how these yeasts can be identified through bioprospecting and bioinformatic approaches and summarize available growth and enzymatic assays for strain characterization. Known and predicted CAZymes are extensively analyzed, both in individual species and in a phylogenetic perspective. We also describe the strategies used for construction of recombinant cellulolytic and xylanolytic strains as well as current applications for polysaccharide-degrading yeasts. Finally, we discuss the great potential of these yeasts as industrial cell factories, identify open research questions and provide suggestions for future investigations.

RESUMEN

One of the main distinguishing features of bacteria belonging to the Cellulomonas genus is their ability to secrete multiple polysaccharide degrading enzymes. However, their application in biomass deconstruction still constitutes a challenge. We addressed the optimisation of the xylanolytic activities in extracellular enzymatic extracts of Cellulomonas sp. B6 and Cellulomonas fimi B-402 for their subsequent application in lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis by culture in several substrates. As demonstrated by secretomic profiling, wheat bran and waste paper resulted to be suitable inducers for the secretion of xylanases of Cellulomonas sp. B6 and C. fimi B-402, respectively. Both strains showed high xylanolytic activity in culture supernatant although Cellulomonas sp. B6 was the most efficient xylanolytic strain. Upscaling from flasks to fermentation in a bench scale bioreactor resulted in equivalent production of extracellular xylanolytic enzymatic extracts and freeze drying was a successful method for concentration and conservation of the extracellular enzymes, retaining 80% activity. Moreover, enzymatic cocktails composed of combined extra and intracellular extracts effectively hydrolysed the hemicellulose fraction of extruded barley straw into xylose and xylooligosaccharides. KEY POINTS: • Secreted xylanase activity of Cellulomonas sp. B6 and C. fimi was maximised. • Biomass-induced extracellular enzymes were identified by proteomic profiling. • Combinations of extra and intracellular extracts were used for barley straw hydrolysis.
