Data for Resourceful and Economical Designing of Fermentation Medium for Lab and Commercial Strains of Yeast from Alternative Feedstock: Transgenic Oilcane

Sugarcane plant engineered to accumulate lipids in its vegetative tissue is being developed as a new bioenergy crop. The new crop would be a source of juice, oil, and cellulosic sugars. However, limited tolerance of industrially recognized yeasts towards inhibitors generated during the processing of lignocellulosic biomass to produce fermentable sugars is a major challenge in developing scalable processes for second-generation drop-in fuel production. To this end, hydrolysates generated from engineered sugarcane—‘oilcane’ bagasse contain added phenolics and fatty acids that further restrict the growth of fermenting microorganisms and necessitate nutrient supplementation and/or detoxification of hydrolysate which makes the fermentation process expensive. Herein, we propose a resourceful and economical approach for growing lab and commercial strains of S. cerevisiae on unrefined cellulosic sugars aerobically and fermentatively. An equal ratio of hydrolysate and juice was found optimum for growth and fermentation by lab and commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae engineered for xylose fermentation. The industrial strain grew and fermented efficiently under low aeration conditions having an ethanol titer, yield, specific and volumetric productivities of 46.96 ± 0.19 g/l, 0.51 ± 0.00 g/g, 0.27 ± 0.02 g/g.h and 1.95 ± 0.01 g/l.h, respectively, while the lab strain grew better under higher aeration conditions having the ethanol titer, yield, specific and volumetric productivities of 24.93 ± 0.09, 0.27 ± 0.00 g/g, 0.17 ± 0.00 g/g.h and 1.04 ± 0.00 g/l.h, respectively. Acclimation of cultures in a blended medium significantly improved the performance of the yeast strains. The addition of transgenic oilcane juice, which is inedible and rich in amino acids, to the hydrolysate averted the need for expensive nutrient supplementation and detoxification steps of hydrolysate. The approach provides an economical solution to reduce the cost of fermentation at an industrial scale for second-generation drop-in fuel production.

Data for Promoter Deletion in the Soybean Compact Mutant Leads to Overexpression of a Gene with Homology to the C20-Gibberellin 2-Oxidase Family

Height is a critical component of plant architecture, significantly affecting crop yield. The genetic basis of this trait in soybean remains unclear. In this study, we report the characterization of the Compact mutant of soybean, which has short internodes. The candidate gene was mapped to chromosome 17, and the interval containing the causative mutation was further delineated using biparental mapping. Whole-genome sequencing of the mutant revealed an 8.7 kb deletion in the promoter of the Glyma.17g145200 gene, which encodes a member of the class III gibberellin (GA) 2-oxidases. The mutation has a dominant effect, likely via increased expression of the GA 2-oxidase transcript observed in green tissue, as a result of the deletion in the promoter of Glyma.17g145200. We further demonstrate that levels of GA precursors are altered in the Compact mutant, supporting a role in GA metabolism, and that the mutant phenotype can be rescued with exogenous GA3. We also determined that overexpression of Glyma.17g145200 in Arabidopsis results in dwarfed plants. Thus, gain of promoter activity in the Compact mutant leads to a short internode phenotype in soybean through altered metabolism of gibberellin precursors. These results provide an example of how structural variation can control an important crop trait and a role for Glyma.17g145200 in soybean architecture, with potential implications for increasing crop yield.
