Results The toxicity of the main inhibitors in lignocellulose hydrolysates against and ABE production was systematically investigated, and the changes in intracellular rate of metabolism were analyzed by metabolomics and proteomics. The toxicity of the main lignocellulose hydrolysate inhibitors at the same dose was ranked as follows: formic acid? ?phenol? ?furfural. Metabolomic analysis based on AT9283 weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed the three inhibitors induced the stringent response of to cytotoxic inhibitors released during the deconstruction of lignocellulose. This insight allows us to fully improve the strain to adapt to a demanding tradition environment, which will demonstrate critical to the industrial efficacy of is definitely ranked as the second largest in industrial fermentation, behind bioethanol production. Biobutanol, a alternative energy fuel, has recently received substantial attention because of its higher energy denseness, higher combustion warmth, better engine compatibility and less corrosivity than those of bioethanol [1]. As the environment deteriorates and food shortages increase, ABE fermentation using nongrain raw materials (sugar market waste, lignocellulose, glycerin and syngas) as the substrates is being AT9283 used by the biobutanol market [2]. Among the potential substrates, lignocelluloses, such as corn stover, wheat straw, switchgrass and lovely sorghum slag, are the most attractive biomass raw materials because of the low price, wide range of sources and renewability [3]. The effective development of lignocellulosic materials will also significantly reduce the dependence on the petrochemical industry and improve the comprehensive utilization of agricultural waste. However, due to the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass [4], the raw materials are usually subjected to pretreatment under acidic, alkaline, steam and other harsh conditions and then hydrolyzed by cellulase into monosaccharides (mainly hexoses and pentoses) for microbial fermentation. It is believed that the pretreatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic feedstocks produce a range of substances that are toxic to microbial cells [5], such as furfural, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, formic acid, acetic acid, phenol, catechol, ferulic acid, syringaldehyde, vanillin and coumarin [6, 7]. These inhibitors are generally classified into three categories according to their sources and properties, namely, furans, weak acids and phenols [5]. The presence of these compounds will inhibit cell growth, substrate utilization and product synthesis, greatly reducing the production efficiency of lignocellulosic butanol thus. There were many reports for the pretreatment, hydrolysis, fermentation and cleansing of lignocellulose [6, 8, 9], but many of them concentrate on the marketing of fermentation and hydrolysis procedures and adopt the hydrolysis strategies, explosion circumstances, and detoxification procedures found in AT9283 lignocellulosic ethanol creation. Study on lignocellulose-derived inhibitors offers centered on and [10C12] etc, which has advertised the tremendous advancement of the bioethanol market. To date, few organic strains can use lignocellulosic hydrolysate to create butanol effectively, and because of an insufficient knowledge of the inhibition system, butanol creation is leaner than that of traditional substrate fermentation by different simple sugar, starchy plants, etc. AT9283 as the substrates [13]. In earlier research, furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural advertised the development of [14] and [15] at low concentrations; Furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural DIAPH2 (3?g/L) were found out to become stimulatory instead of inhibitory to BA101, even though the blend of both negatively affected the tradition [16]; 1.0?g/L phenolic compounds inhibited up to 64C74% of cell growth and completely inhibited the butanol production [7]; Up to 80?mM sodium acetate promoted the growth of strain and stabilized butanol production by preventing the strain degeneration of [17]. In addition, was more sensitive to formic acid compared with [18], and 0.1?M formic acid induced the acid crash and completely inhibited butanol production and cell growth in [19]. Therefore, different strains have different tolerance levels and stress responses to inhibitors, and different raw AT9283 materials or hydrolysis processes generate different amounts and species of inhibitors [6, 20], which creates problems in the elucidation of metabolic response to inhibiting compounds present in lignocellulose materials at different cellular levels (metabolites, proteins, etc.) to identify potential targets which could be addressed to alleviate inhibition. Therefore, a systematic investigation to ascertain the mechanism used by butanol-producing strain in the presence of lignocellulosic.
