1 Redefine the Role of Lignin in Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Lignocellulosic Biomass Maobing Tu Auburn University

2 Background Biomass pretreatment is needed Break down the recalcitrant structure of cell walls Subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation Enzymatic hydrolysis Mixture of enzymes (cellulases from fungi) Fermentation Yeast or bacteria Produce ethanol or butanol 2

3 Lignin-New way to think about its effects Lignin limits enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose However Does certain type of lignin play a positive role How to distinguish the positive and negative effects? Can we make lignin be positive in biomass pretreatment? 3

4 Background-Lignin Extractible lignin Cellulose Residual lignin Enzymes Lignin strongly associated with itself Lignin associated with crystalline cellulose Lignin associated with cellulase enzymes Lindner, B Biomacromolecules 14:339 4

5 Background-lignin Lignin: physical blocking and non-productive binding Lignin structure and distribution changed during pretreatment Re-precipitation on pretreated substrate. Inhibitory effects on enzymatic hydrolysis, stimulatory effects? Xu, Y., et al. 27. Colloids and Surfaces A, 31, Li, M., et al J. Agr. Food Chem, 61,

16 Constrasting effects from EOL-SG and EOL- LP Stimulatory effect of EOL-SG? Inhibitory effect of EOL-LP? How to explain the contrasting effects of lignins Affinity to cellulase enzymes Physicochemical properties Turning the negative effect of lignin to be positive? 16

The addition of EOL-LP decreased the free cellulases in solution Reducing non-productive binding probably is the main reason for the positive effect of EOL-SG. 17

The enzyme adsorption capacity is much lower in hardwood EOL. The distribution coefficient (R) is much lower in Harwood EOL. 18

20 Lignin effects associated with low R-value Strong correlation between lignin effects and distribution coefficients (R). Low affinity of enzyme onto lignin resulted in stimulatory effects. 2

23 Turning lignin to be positive Can we make lignin be positive in biomass pretreatment? Lignin effect is ph dependent Lignin structure change is temperature dependent 23
